TITQ - Episode 26 - Mike Luca - There Once Was a Podcast So Awesome

There once was a podcast on Shakespeare
That you can listen to with no fear.
This isn't a sonnet
But still, come get on it,
The topic by now should be so clear! 

That's right, we talk about all 154 of Shakespeare's sonnets this week, and Mike Luca takes and/or gets taken to school! Enjoy!

TITQ - Episode 25 - Anne Whitaker - Seven Miles of Wool

Och aye!! It’s a super-spooky super-Scottish episode today, though somehow we completely avoid any actual Scottish dialects! We talk morality, geography, and funny hats with Anne Whitaker, and the point value at the end of this episode is downright spooooooooky! Listen in and enjoy!

TITQ - Episode 24 - Drew Hutcheson - Six Characters in Search of an Induction

The good news on this episode is that James sounds great! (And, as he says, that's all that matters)

David and guest Drew Hutchison…might need to sit a little closer to the mic next time. But it’s still a delightful episode full of lots of learning, so tune in and enjoy!

P.S. Apologies to Antii Arne and Stith Thompson, who are, in fact, two separate people.

TITQ - Episode 23 - Samantha Morrice - The Delightful Saga of Dorkus and Mopsy

Your ears aren't deceiving you; that's not James at the helm! We've been holding onto this one for a while (hence the change in audio), but you've earned it! See what happens when the host gets put to the test: this week's guests are David Andrew Laws and James Rightmyer Jr. as Samantha Morrice pits them against each other in a no-holds-bard battle to the death!

(Well, not the death, but to see who's a more embarrassing failure, for sure) Enjoy!

TITQ - Episode 22 - Mary Candler - LIVE from Professor Thom's

Have a little peak behind the curtain with us. Usually we record That Is The Question in David's apartment. James sits comfortably on his host throne, David lounges unprofessionally on the couch, and our guest is waited on hand, foot, and otherwise. It is a bastion of seclusion and comfort. But not this week! 

This week, we went roughin' it! We filled the halls of Professor Thom's (which is cozy in its own right, don't get us wrong) with as many Shakespeare trivia nerds as we could find, and the result was amazing! Special thanks to Hedgepig Theatre Ensemble for hosting, to Mary Candler for competing, and to all of YOU whether you were listening then, now, or both! Enjoy.

Spoiler alert! Pericles is a play by Shakespeare! Kind of.... Double spoiler!! It's *not* one of his most popular!!

No matter how you slice it (or spell it, or say it) Troilus & Cressida's a classic (whether David believes it or not). Luckily, Isaac Allen Miller's here to pick up the slack (which, if all these parentheticals are any indication, is quite a bit of slack).

TITQ - Episode 14 - Elizabeth Ruelas - Know-It-Awl

Time for a merry war of wits between the lovely Elizabeth Ruelas and the ever-something David Andrew Laws. But what does that make James? Probably Dogberry. Yeah, that sounds about right.
