Will and James discuss where Iago falls in the pantheon of Shakespearean villains, their visceral reactions to the breakdown of Othello and Desdemona’s marriage, and the role that Othello’s race and status as an outsider in Venice play in his downfall. // Credits // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); Illustrative Excerpts: "Inception," dir.

That's So Second MillenniumEpisode 129 - Economics of Higher Purpose with Anjan ThakorAn intriguing interview with a business school professor from Paul's alma mater, Anjan Thakor of the Washington University in St. Louis Olin Business School. The point of departure for this episode is Prof. Thakor's book of the same title written with Dr. Bob Quinn, and the book was launched as an analysis of why Dr. Quinn left a prestigious faculty position at the University of Michigan to go start a church in Australia.

In order to depose Angelo and right his wrongs, our heroes develop a crazy scheme that strains credulity.

All the heroes are here, in their worst possible lights: the vainglorious Achilles refuses to fight, his noble opponent Hector laments the stupidity of war, the title characters fall in lust only to torn asunder, and Ulysses devises a sly scheme to win that doesn’t involve a gigantic wooden horse.

If you’re sensing some common themes in Shakespeare’s comedies, dear listener, you’d be correct. Yet Will and James do not find the combination becomes more charming with repetition despite the play’s reputation as one of the Bard’s best light-hearted laugh riots. In this rip-roaring lightning episode, they question whether the comedies are, as a rule, generally bad or whether it’s just them... // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); I...2021-04-1636 minBard FliesHamlet: The Rest is Violence...what can one say about the Melancholy Dane that hasn’t already been said?

And its most famous soliloquy has launched a thousand parodies. Will and James break down the epic monologues, the bloody action, the meditations on mortality, depression, mental illness, tortured love affairs, murder, suicide, conspiracy, invasion, and a savagely bloody denouement in which (spoiler alert!) everyone dies. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The...2021-04-021h 08

Will and James discuss one of Shakespeare’s most beloved heroines in the plucky Rosalind (or is it her handsome male alter ego Ganymede?), whether love is like a contagious virus, and the characters’ meanderings through the beautiful French forest of Arden. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); Illustrative Excerpts: “Tootsie,” dir.

In this episode, Will and James discuss the plethora of Henry V’s amazing speeches, which are the gold standard against which most political rhetoric falls woefully short, and how much our king has learned along the way. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); Illustrative Excerpts...2021-02-051h 18Bard FliesHalfway!Will and James reflect on how their understanding of Shakespeare and his relevance have changed now that they're halfway through the plays.

In this episode, Will and James discuss toxic friendships, the responsibilities of leadership, and why Falstaff is the equivalent of Matthew McConaughey’s character in “Dazed and Confused.” All right, all right, all right! // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: J...2020-12-2150 minBard FliesThe Merry Wives of Windsor: Ford v FalstaffIn this delightfully farcical and absurdly complicated comedy, Sir John Falstaff takes a break from partying with the Prince of Wales to woo two not-so-desperate housewives at the same time in the London suburb of Windsor while a Frenchman, a judge, and the boy-next-door seek to marry one of those housewives’ daughters. In their discussion of a play that some commentators allege that Shakespeare wrote at the request of Queen Elizabeth I, Will and James discuss whether it counts as a spin-off and whether or not spin-offs can succeed on their own merits. //.

And just how many capons and slain enemies will it take to settle the immortal question of who should be King of England? In this week’s episode, Will and James debate the relative merits and demerits of Sir John Falstaff and Sir Henry Hotspur, how wars evolve differently depending whether they are caused by fear, honor, and interest, and parallels between The Iliad, The Bridge on the River Kwai, and Shakespeare’s canon. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayl...2020-11-081h 06Christopher & EricEp. 48 – The Murder of William Newton: 30 Years LaterIt's been thirty years since the dismembered remains of William "Billy" Newton were discovered in a Hollywood dumpster, three decades in which his loved ones have gone without answers in his brutal killing. Last seen alive at a gay nightclub in West Hollywood, the young man's horrifying slaying traumatized a community, inspiring many wild theories, but no arrests or real leads.

Despite its sumptuous costume and scenery that Pacino avoids chewing during the course of his humane performance as Shylock, the movie still doesn’t quite work.

The very name of Shakespeare’s infamous Venetian moneylender overshadows the plot of this complex and twisted comedy about love, marriage, and the importance of always reading the fine print in your credit card agreement. Is he an anti-Semitic caricature? A representation of vengeful legalism run amok, contrasted with the concept of mercy and grace? An anti-hero who deserves sympathy?

The precipitating event is the sexual assault of the noblewoman Lucrece by King Tarquin’s son. Her decision to come forward and demand justice leads to the rise of the Roman Republic. In this Bard Flies minisode, Will and James discuss how the story of Lucrece relates to our world today and how it contrasts with Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis." // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous)2020-08-1434 minChristopher & EricEp. 37 – Are They Gone In The Dark?Inspired by the first episode of HBO's documentary series I'LL BE GONE IN THE DARK, Christopher and Eric channel their inner Michelle McNamara, the citizen detective who helped crack The Golden State Killer case, and take to the internet to discover all they can about two real life mysteries that have obsessed them for years.

It also contains some of the most powerful love poetry in Shakespeare’s work, delivered by characters with verve, wit, and unique personalities.

Following a botched trial by combat to settle a dispute between two nobles, Richard’s disinheritance of one of his chief rivals leads to predictable chaos and epic poetry that pits the divine right of kings against patriotism, legitimacy against practical politics, and high-handed arrogance against du...2020-07-1856 minBard FliesLove's Labour's Lost: Love's Belaboured LanguageWhat happens when four young noblemen take chastity pledges to focus on their academic studies only to have the Princess of France and her ladies-in-waiting camp outside their castle? Catfishing, verbal one-upmanship, and the pitching of woo while disguised in traditional Russian garb, naturally! In this episode of Bard Flies, Will and James discuss "Love’s Labour’s Lost," a charming comedy with a serious turn in the fifth act that transforms it from a showcase for Shakespeare’s linguistic prowess to a surprisingly deep commentary on love, commitment, and growing up. // CREDITS //.

In the process, he dispatches his brothers, nephews, and his own wife with aplomb, plenty of puns, a broken fourth wall that paved the way for House of Cards, and a plot that both Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth infamously loved.

In Shakespeare’s goriest play, which is larded with a dozen on-stage murders, wanton dismemberment, appalling cruelty, and, of course, questionable culinary choices baked in throughout.

Amid this mandatory social distancing, Shakespeare sharpened his quill at home and turned to narrative poetry with “Venus and Adonis,” a retelling of the famous Greek myth that recasts a young Adonis as a victim of the older Venus’s lustful aggression. In the first Bard Flies minisode, Will and James examine the enduring relevance of Shakespeare’s work in the era of self-quarantine amid COVID-19 and the #MeToo movement. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles...2020-04-0740 minBard FliesHenry VI, Part 2: Harumph!-rey of GloucesterTreachery!

England has a new, oblivious king who makes Tommen Baratheon look competent and is barely holding his kingdom together in the face of a war against the French armies of the demonic and wily Joan of Arc.
