Podcast appearances and mentions of William Shakespeare

[School of Movies 2026] Back in 2021, after a surprising 24-year absence of Mortal Kombat live action movie adaptations while several really great cinematic story modes played out on the past four entries of the video game series, a movie finally emerged. It wasn't very good. But since we were all on lockdown and starved for entertainment many of us chomped it down like Baraka at a buffet. Then, five whole years later a sequel emerged that actually delivered on the basic, underachieving proof-of-concept that was pitched to us in that excuse for a first movie. Entertaining, grisly, a bit too self-conscious and at times historically inaccurate, this made for a fun time at the cinema and now we actually look forward to more.

Were women in the past completely uneducated — or worse, cruelly denied any meaningful opportunity to receive an education by their parents and society at large? Some modern scholars say so, but in this "back-to-school" edition of Rachel's Trivia Challenge, the Lutheran Ladies are revisiting key literary sources as they not only explore the history of women's education but also investigate whether the prevailing narrative of our day is truly just to those who came before us.   With questions drawn from Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and other notable authors writing in and about their own times, this quiz will tickle the minds of literary mavens and education enthusiasts alike — even though, in the end, it may raise as many questions as it answers.   Sources referenced in this episode include ...  Gender in Cultural History: Gender and Education  Luther on education: arnold__lut_33_3.pdf  Martin Luther and female education. - Free Online Library  Martin Luther: A Sermon on Keeping Children in School (1530)  William Shakespeare, Much Ado about Nothing  Phillis Wheatley | The Poetry Foundation  Poems, by Phillis Wheatley   The Old Deluder Satan Act: deluder.html  Quote by Jane Austen: “It is amazing to me," said Bingley, "How young ...”  Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice; Mansfield Park   Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre  Social History of American Education | Education | Research Starters | EBSCO Research  The story of female education in the US: from illiterate to top of the class | World Economic Forum  ERIC - ED119389 - A History of Compulsory Education Laws.

Corey Mach sits down to discuss his journey from performing in a hundred community theater productions in Cleveland to taking center stage on Broadway. He opens up about the hustle behind building his wildly successful concert series, Broadway Sings, explaining how a desire to create his own work led to turning pop anthems into custom orchestral arrangements and building a thriving brand from the ground up. Corey breaks down what it was like stepping into the role of William Shakespeare in & Juliet on Broadway with just three days of rehearsal after a ten month break from the tour. He shares hilarious backstage stories about accidentally turning his dressing room into the ultimate chilled hangout spot, navigating the mental shift from understudy to principal, and why playing to your personal strengths is the key to longevity in the theater industry. Corey Mach is an actor and producer known for his work on Broadway in Godspell, Hands on a Hard Body, Kinky Boots, and Merrily We Roll Along. He starred as William Shakespeare on the national tour of & Juliet before making his Broadway principal debut in the same role. Beyond his acting career, Corey is the creator and producer of Broadway Sings, an ongoing concert series in New York City that reimagines iconic pop music for Broadway performers and live band arrangements.

Today's poem has a different preoccupation than most Shakespearean sonnets–not immortalizing the beloved, but effacing the lover. Happy reading. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

The David Alliance  TDAgiantSlayer@gmail.com Garth Heckman Urge   INTRO: Its a strange memory at best: A young man at church - my sister Renee's friend. HS stud athlete, great looking, always jumping in and out of bed with whomever he could. Now in his early 30's he came to church and Renee said one night after church… he better hurry up and figure out life - his hair is getting thinner and his glasses are getting thicker.  Funny, sad, but telling of his life falling apart. He lived his life by his emotions… his “URGES” if you will.    the phrase "a piece of work" originated as a high compliment before evolving over centuries into a sarcastic insult. The Literary Origin Its earliest famous usage comes from William Shakespeare's Hamlet (around 1601). In Act II, Scene 2, Prince Hamlet marvels at the creation of humanity: "What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty..."       He's a piece of work ISRAELS FIRST KING!  King Saul had it all but lost his call as a know it all only to fall.      Saul's ultimate downfall was not a lack of talent or opportunity; it was a fundamental flaw in his internal compass. Saul lived a life governed by feelings rather than character.     Have you ever met someone who lives by their emotions/feelings/the wind?     I used to say to my boys… “dad is in a bad mood today, so don't push it”. WHAT I WAS REALLY SAYING WAS DAD IS IN THE FLESH… LIVING BY HIS URGES!        Romans 8:5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. 6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will. 8 That's why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. 9 But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)         King Saul highlights critical decisions based on fear, jealousy, and impulsivity rather than steadfast character and obedience.     1 Samuel 13:8-12 (Impatience and Panic): When the prophet Samuel delayed his arrival and the Israelite army began to scatter out of fear, Saul panicked. Instead of trusting God and waiting, his anxiety drove him to unlawfully offer the burnt offering himself. Emotions make God's Word feel optional rather than authoritative. When feelings become the filter for truth, scripture gets reduced to "does this resonate with me" instead of "is this what God said." Jeremiah 17:9 warns that the heart is deceitful above all things — not evil in a cartoonish sense, but genuinely unreliable as a final authority. A Christian who only obeys when it feels right isn't actually submitted to Christ's lordship; they're submitted to their own emotional state, with God's Word as an occasional consultant rather than the authority.   Abortion, adultery, fornication, bitterness, gossip… emotions muddy up the water.   Anterior Midcingulate Cortex it behaves like a muscle, shrinking when underused and expanding physically when you engage in effortful, resistance-heavy activities.   Anatomy of the aMCC The Friction Requirement: The aMCC only grows when you face friction or internal resistance. Pushing through a workout you love doesn't trigger the same growth as forcing yourself to do a workout—or a task—that you genuinely do not want to do     The Battle of Sarx (The Flesh): Paul describes the "flesh" not merely as the physical body, but as the path of least resistance—primal drives, comfort-seeking, and self-preservation.    The body only wants to eat, sleep be tickled and have sex!      In Galatians 5:17, he notes: "For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other." The subjective internal friction you feel when forcing yourself to do a hard task is the exact experiential battleground Paul describes. Mortification (Nekroo): In Colossians 3:5 and Romans 8:13, the New Testament commands believers to "put to death" or "mortify" lower impulses. This is not a passive event; it is an active, effortful override of natural inclination—the exact stimulus that drives aMCC hypertrophy.     How do you put to death the desires of the flesh? Lets put this misconception to bed for good! You do the opposite of the flesh according to scripture.       1 Samuel 14:24, 43-44 (Rashness and Impulsivity): Driven by the heat of battle, Saul made a foolish, impulsive oath binding his army to fast until evening. This emotional decision left his men exhausted and nearly resulted in the execution of his own son, Jonathan, who had unknowingly eaten honey.   Emotional highs get mistaken for spiritual maturity. Feeling moved during worship, feeling peace after a decision, feeling conviction in the moment — these can be real and God-given, but they can also be manufactured by music, social pressure, or just brain chemistry. The danger is building a faith that needs a constant emotional high to feel "real," which sets people up to crash hard when the feelings fade — and many walk away from faith entirely when the emotional experience stops delivering, mistaking the absence of feeling for the absence of God.   **When emotions supersede logic or common sense, they will typically supersede Gods best as well.     MANY/MOST times God will ask you to do something that goes against your emotions!    1 Samuel 15:24 (Fear of Man over Integrity): After failing to completely destroy the Amalekites as God commanded, Saul shifted the blame. He finally confessed to Samuel that his lack of character stemmed from insecurity, stating: "I was afraid of the men and so I gave in to them.” Remember… He's the King! And he is afraid of the men? It makes obedience conditional instead of covenantal.  Abraham didn't feel like sacrificing Isaac.  Jesus, didn't feel like going to the cross —    Obeying when you feel like it is not obedience its convenience!    men: leading a family, staying faithful in a hard marriage, disciplining kids, showing up to serve when you're exhausted — none of that runs on feelings. It runs on covenant commitment that outlasts emotion.   *If I win the lottery I will definitely tithe and even give more than 10%.  NOPE! If you can't give $10 out of $100 you won't give 1 Million out of 100 Million.      1 Samuel 18:10-11 (Uncontrolled Rage): Saul's jealousy quickly escalated into murderous anger. While David was playing the lyre to soothe him, Saul was overcome by an evil spirit and his own rage, throwing his spear at David twice in an attempt to pin him to the wall.   Emotional volatility becomes a discipleship excuse instead of a growth area.  "I just felt led" or  "I couldn't help how I reacted"  “We are in Love”.  “She started it”. “It was Tuesday”    The flesh wether in a high or a low is meant to be cultivated by the fruits of the Spirit!    I love what Socrates said “any virtue in and of itself is a danger, it must be balanced with another virtue. i.e. if you are generous but do not balance that with wisdom, you will give all your money away and your family will starve. This is what the fruits of the Spirit do for us when in the midst of great emotion.

During her tenure as The New Yorker's television critic, Emily Nussbaum famously railed against ranking the year's best shows; she once wrote a piece entitled “I Hate Top Ten Lists.” But naming her favorite series of all time is an easier proposition, and the honor goes to a little-known Canadian production from the early two-thousands that dramatized the colorful characters and commercial struggles of a fictional Shakespearean theatre festival. In the final episode of this summer's Critics at Large interview series, Alex Schwartz talks with Nussbaum about her love of “Slings & Arrows,” which pioneered a complex balance of comedy and drama that would eventually become a hallmark of prestige television. Today, Hollywood showrunners including David Simon, the creator of “The Wire,” sing its praises—and yet it remains largely overlooked by audiences. Nussbaum, who's lately been writing as the magazine's theatre critic, is on a mission to change that.  “The history of TV is the confusion between whether something is good and whether it's popular and commercial,” Nussbaum says. “ ‘Slings & Arrows' is an example of a show that is the best show—regardless of how many people watch it.”  Read, watch, and listen with the critics: “Cue the Sun,” by Emily Nussbaum“Slings and Arrows” (2003-2006)“Hamlet,” by William Shakespeare“Macbeth,” by William Shakespeare“King Lear,” by William Shakespeare“30 Rock” (2006-13)“Orange Is the New Black” (2013-19)“Call My Agent!” (2015-19)“The Studio” (2025—)“Next to Normal” (2025)“Succession” (2018-2023) New episodes drop every Thursday.

His father, King Priam, joins them, begging his son not to go into battle but Hector refuses to break his vows and is joined by his brother Troilus, who is eager for vengeance. Pandarus brings a letter from Cressida which Troilus reads and rips in fury. As the battle begins, Thersites stands on the sidelines mocking everyone in the fray until he is confronted by Hector and crumples at his feet. Troilus fights both Diomedes and Ajax and Hector fights Achilles but spares him in an act of chivalry. Patroclus is killed.  Achilles, heartbroken, gathers his group of mercenary soldiers (the Myrmidons) to hunt for Hector. Thersites mocks Menelaus and Paris as they fight until he's confronted by Margarelon and runs away. Hector sits down to rest after killing a Greek soldier for his armor when Achilles and his Myrmidons arrive and surround him before slaughtering him in cold blood. Troilus, enraged, rallies the retreating Trojans before cursing and rejecting Pandarus, who is left alone to deliver a scathing epilogue.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Hall of Imagination–and this is the first in a series of episodes about William Shakespeare. And here we have a wax figure of the BARD himself. And personally, let me say as an actor that I am really excited about the prospect of learning more about what makes William Shakespeare so great!  Oh here you are!Mr. Shakespeare, I am really excited about this series of podcast episodes.Now we are not going to begin by interviewing Hamlet… or Juliet… or Lady Macbeth… or Romeo…No. Today, I'm starting with… a town.A town with muddy streets, and church bells, and gossip that travels faster than Wi-Fi ever dreamed of traveling.Because before Shakespeare becomes Shakespeare—the name you've heard a thousand times—he is a boy in Stratford-upon-Avon, absorbing the world like a sponge with ambitions.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Hector, Troilus and the rest of the Trojan leaders arrive in the Greek camp to negotiate a possible truce. Diomedes leaves the gathering and Ulysses and Troilus secretly follow him to Calchas's tent. Diomedes calls for Cressida, who comes out to meet him. Troilus and Ulysses watch as Diomedes flirts with Cressida, with Thersites mocking the whole scene from afar. Cressida tries to figure out a way to keep Diomedes satisfied without breaking her loyalty to Troilus. She offers him the bracelet Troilus gave her then tries to get it back but Diomedes won't let her have it. She finally gives in and agrees to let Diomedes into her tent, bidding a sad farewell to Troilus, who has seen the whole thing from his hiding place. He rages in despair and disbelief as Ulysses tries to get him to leave.

Poet and teacher Saeed Jones declares that "Nobody loves us the way poetry loves us," he reads us one of his poems, and he talks about the chemical reaction that poems set off in our brains and bodies. And Maggie and Faith offer a "poetry prescription" to a fan of theirs in Ohio who's seeking steadiness in her life. Show Notes (in chronological order): "I'm Nobody!

The Tragedy of Coriolanus by William Shakespeare w/John Hill and Jesan Sorrells---Unpacking Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Coriolanus, this episode draws out timeless leadership insights on integrity, social hierarchies, and the tension between individual values and the demands of the group. The hosts explore how Coriolanus' unwavering personal code clashes with political and social expectations, what the play reveals about family as the first organizational structure, and why the forces of social conformity remain so powerful for modern leaders. The discussion also connects classic themes to today's leadership challenges, including sales management, organizational power, and navigating cultural shifts in a digitized world.Play Title: The Tragedy of CoriolanusAuthor: William ShakespeareHosts: Jesan Sorrells (Host); John Hill aka Small Mountain (Co-host)---Time-Stamps:---00:00 Welcome and Introduction - The Tragedy of Coriolanus by William Shakespeare 02:49 Information overload and war reporting.10:39 European history and colonization context of Coriolanus.25:35 Shakespeare's portrayal of motherhood in Coriolanus.35:15 Discussing a sales coach's priorities.44:53 Historical view on war from Coriolanus as opportunity.55:22 Coriolanus's pride and public perception.01:10:39 Challenges in sales and marketing ethics.01:18:22 Realizing the value of partnership.01:29:00 Redefining the employee-supervisor relationship.01:38:05 Dealing with manipulative conversations.01:49:55 Conversations on genuine apologies.02:02:21 Discussing Volumnia from Coriolanus.02:10:34 Finding Your Own Community.02:28:00 Discussing salesperson job interviews.02:29:48 Encouraging kids to ask why.---Opening theme composed by Felipe Sarro - Bach - Silotti - "Air"  from Orchestra Suite No. 3, BWV 1068 Closing theme composed by Brian Sanyshyn of Brian Sanyshyn Music.---Pick up your copy of 12 Rules for Leaders: The Foundation of Intentional Leadership NOW on AMAZON!Check out the Leadership Lessons From the Great Books podcast reading list!---Subscribe to the Leadership Lessons From The Great Books Podcast: https://bit.ly/LLFTGBSubscribeCheck out Leadership ToolBox at: https://leadershiptoolbox.us/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Diomedes arrives to take Cressida to the Greek camp as Paris, Aeneas and Deiphobus speed off to the battlefield. Meanwhile, Ajax rouses the Grecian nobles in his excitement for the single combat with Hector. They humor him until Cressida arrives. One by one, each of the commanders try to force Cressida to kiss them. She uses her wit and sarcasm to keep them at bay. Ulysses ridicules her as a loose woman until Aeneas arrives to inform them that because Ajax and Hector are cousins, their duel cannot be to the death. The two combatants go at each other but settle for a draw. Hector is invited into the Greek camp to feast. All is well until Achilles arrives and vows to kill Hector in battle the next day.

The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare w/Katie Mestres & Jesan Sorrells---Exploring William Shakespeare's Macbeth, this episode examines the enduring power of tragic storytelling in leadership and culture. The conversation focused on why Macbeth continues to resonate with modern audiences, the complexities of Lady Macbeth's ambition and gender roles, and how marriage dynamics shape decision-making under pressure.

Narração inicial de Marcelo Antony como Macbeth (Ato I, cena 7) Neste episódio, atravessamos campos enevoados e castelos tomados pela ambição para acompanhar uma das tragédias mais sombrias já escritas. Sim, estamos falando de Macbeth, de William Shakespeare, a peça que mergulha fundo nos limites do poder, da culpa e do destino, e de sua adaptação cinematográfica de 2021, dirigida por Joel Coen, que recria essa história com uma estética quase impressionista. Então prepare-se para profecias sussurradas por bruxas, decisões irreversíveis e a lenta corrosão da mente de Macbeth enquanto discutimos como o filme transforma o texto clássico em imagens que preservam a tensão psicológica e o peso moral da obra original.

Every so often, I find myself reading history and thinking ‘were they on DRUGS?' Well, the probably answer is: Yes! Alexander the Great was a sloppy drunk and William Shakespeare was a stoner; Steve Jobs believed taking LSD helped him create the Apple computer, and Sigmund Freud loved cocaine so much he took it all the time and prescribed it to his patients. Hard to believe? Don't worry, in Human History on Drugs, Sam Kelly gives us the receipts. Here's more of that peculiar history your teachers never told you. With chapters spanning from Ancient Greece (“The Oracle of Delphi Was Huffing Fumes”) to modern times (“Carl Sagan Got Astronomically High”), Kelly's research covers all manner of eras, places, and, of course, drugs.History is rife with drug use and drug users, and Human History on Drugs takes us through those highs (pun intended) and lows on a witty and entertaining ride that uncovers their mind-boggling impact on our past. Join us to chat live with Sam, and get a preview of the book by visiting his mega-hit TikTok!Episode was recorded live July 23, 2026.Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://peculiarbookclub.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribepage.io/schillacenews⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠VIP Membership: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://payhip.com/PeculiarBookClub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streams⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@peculiarbookclub.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thepeculiarbookclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Video by Luis Humanoide from PixabayVideo by Ha Nguyen from PixabayPsychedelic Witch Track Filmy Ghost & JackCotePsychedelic Dream by Geoff Harvey - Purple Planet Music source (Free Music Archive) and license type (CC BY-NC-ND)

Acclaimed stage and screen actor TEAGLE F. BOUGERE joins host Nathan Winkelstein for a deeply personal conversation about one of William Shakespeare's most moving late plays, The Winter's Tale. Currently appearing in his fourth Shakespeare in the Park production, directed by Daniel Sullivan, Bougere reads Camillo's Act 1, Scene 2 monologue — “O miserable lady! But, for me, What case stand I in?” — before reflecting on the play's extraordinary emotional power. Together, they explore why The Winter's Tale remains one of Bougere's favorite plays, from its rare vision of redemption and second chances to its profound meditation on grief, forgiveness, and the hope of seeing loved ones again. They also discuss Bougere's approach to paraphrasing Shakespeare and the surprising connections between The Winter's Tale, Macbeth, and their own lives.

Agamemnon orders Diomedes to supervise the exchange. Ulysses then convinces the Greek commanders to rile up Achilles by walking past his tent without acknowledging him. When Achilles asks Ulysses what's going on, Ulysses tells him Ajax is the new hero because he took up Hector's challenge, but that if Achilles would break off his secret relationship with a Trojan princess and get back to fighting, his could restore his reputation. Thersites rubs it in by reporting that Ajax is strutting around the Greek camp completely full of himself. Achilles tells Thersites he wants to see Hector at his tent after the fight. Back in Troy, Diomedes arrives at Aeneas's home to finalize the prisoner exchange for Cressida. Aeneas rushes to Troilus's house to break the news to him. He gets there just as Pandarus is teasing the couple in their love nest. When Aeneas finally delivers the royal decree demanding that Cressida be handed over immediately, Troilus is devastated, and Cressida swears she will not leave.

Margaret of Anjou was a prominent figure during England's Wars of the Roses, just before the Tudor Era. At the end of the Tudor Era, William Shakespeare wrote several plays about the Wars - and in these, we see Margaret progress from young Princess to warrior Queen to mystical witch-crone. No other character has such a dramatic portrayal across Shakespeare's plays. The new book Shakespeare's Margaret is a biography of both Margaret, the real person, and also Margaret, the character written by Shakespeare. The book's authors Charles O'Malley and Scott W. Stern join us to talk all things Margaret and Shakespeare.

***⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Complete our⁠ listener survey⁠ for a chance to win a $50 gift card!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** Thersites delights in insulting Patroclus, Achilles, Agamemnon and everyone they command. When Agamemnon arrives with his entourage, Achilles withdraws into his tent and refuses to meet with him. Agamemnon turns to Ajax and heaps praise on him, encouraging him to be their champion in single combat with Hector instead of Achilles. Back at the palace in Troy, Pandarus meets with Paris and Helen in their decadent love nest to make excuses for Troilus's absence from their dinner. Helen persuades him to sing them a love song before sending him on his way. Pandarus finds Troilus anxiously awaiting Cressida in an orchard and finally brings the lovers together. They promise each other complete fidelity with Pandarus as their witness before hurrying into a bedroom to consummate their relationship.

William Shakespeare created so many commonly used phrases that we use till this day that you might say he invented how we speak.  If you asked A.I., Artifical Intelligence, to create more pithy Shakespearean type phrases how close would it get?  The results are in.  You decide if A.I. is up to it.  Could Hollywood save a lot of money by firing writers and actors and just let A.I. do that work?  Will A.I. kill humans or threaten us if we try to put controls on A.I.?  If you think that's just science fiction, think again.  A.I. has already gone on the attack.  And if this kind of thing scares you you may not sleep tonight after hearing what one A.I. program did in retaliation.  Paul McCartney and I have written a song for the midterm elections called "Let It Blue."  I can make a tuning fork sound off so I used the enemy, A.I., to do the music and the singing and hopefully we have a Blue Wave in November and then sane politicians will try to get A.I. back in its box but until then I use it to defeat it.  Would you like to hear the happiest woman in the world laugh?  She was at a comedy show I did and when you hear her you'll know why I think she's a role model for how we should all be.  Subscribe and THRIVE!!!!

***⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Complete our⁠ listener survey⁠ for a chance to win a $50 gift card!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** As Agamemnon and his Generals argue in the Greek camp, the Trojan Aeneas arrives to deliver Hector's challenge to a duel in single combat. When the brute Ajax hears about the proclamation, he beats the foul-mouthed slave Thersites for not telling him what it says. Achilles and Patroclus come to Thersites' rescue and defend him from Ajax even though Thersites insists on insulting all of them. Back in the Royal Palace of Troy, Priam and his sons Hector, Paris and Troilus dine in the Trojan Council Chamber and debate whether to surrender Helen to end the war. Hector argues she isn't worth the bloodshed and that it's the honorable thing to do. They are interrupted by their mad sister, Cassandra, who enters and prophesies that if they do not let Helen go, Troy will burn.

In Stratford Upon Avon, where William Shakespeare was born, there is a house that was built in 1530, while King Henry VIII was ruling England. This house was there when Shakespeare was living in the town, and the owners have direct connections to Shakespeare himself. Today, the house is known as Wisson House and the thoughtfully preserved historical property has been updated with modern amenities and is offered as a holiday property for anyone visiting the area, or that loves Shakespeare. Of course, when I heard about the property, I wanted to share the history with you. Which is why, today, we are delighted to welcome Amanda Billingsley, the owner of Wisson House, to the show to share the backstory of this property and what it was doing when Shakespeare was alive. 

William Shakespeare stands as one of history's greatest writers and most enduring cultural icons. His timeless works have inspired, moved, and mystified audiences for over 400 years. Yet behind the legendary name lies a profound enigma: we know remarkably little about the man from Stratford-upon-Avon. How could a provincial actor with limited formal education produce some of the most sophisticated literature ever written—works rich in aristocratic insight, legal knowledge, classical learning, and intimate details of court life?In this captivating episode, we dive deep into the Shakespeare Authorship Question, exploring the compelling possibility that the plays and poems attributed to Shakespeare were actually written by someone else—a hidden genius who used the name as a front. Could this be one of literature's greatest conspiracies?We are thrilled to welcome Katherine Chiljan, acclaimed author of Shakespeare Suppressed: The Uncensored Truth About Shakespeare and His Works. A UCLA graduate and dedicated independent researcher, Chiljan spent years examining historical records to challenge the traditional narrative. Her book presents meticulously documented evidence questioning the Stratford man's authorship and sheds new light on the true origins of these masterpieces.Joining us is our co-host, Mark Eddy, a passionate researcher in alternative history who has devoted extensive time to investigating the Shakespeare conspiracy theories. Together with our guests, we examine the leading alternative candidates—such as Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, Francis Bacon, and Christopher Marlowe—along with the historical, textual, and biographical clues that fuel this fascinating debate.Prepare to challenge everything you thought you knew. This episode will rewrite the history books, ignite fresh perspectives, and reveal why the alternative theories often feel more plausible than the official story. Open your mind to a literary mystery that continues to intrigue scholars, historians, and truth-seekers alike.Whether you're a longtime Shakespeare enthusiast or new to the authorship debate, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
