Hey listeners, before we dive into today's episode, I just wanted to let you know, I am back teaching my Understanding Shakespeare class online. It is a six-week course that begins Wednesday, September 23rd, and it is all about learning how to read and understand the work of William Shakespeare. Each class is 90 minutes. We're going to be reading one of my favorite Shakespeare
plays, Richard III. We will focus on three main components that you can find in all of his work, Verse, antithesis, and argument. These elements are crucial to unlocking Shakespeare's work, giving you the confidence you need to read
and enjoy these plays on your own. So if you're interested in learning a little bit more about the bard, join me by going to thestaxpodcast.com slash understanding dash Shakespeare.
