Bad Quarto is a podcast that discusses the obscure, weird-ass, and possibly bad plays of one William Shakespeare. 

Born out of a weekly discussion between two friends to get through quarantine, we bring this nichey but riotous discussion to you. Equal parts cocktail, lit chat, and kicky fun. We’re glad to have you here with us.

Noble, hunky, and fresh out of Thebes. Bad Quarto discusses The Two Noble Kinsmen, Shakespeare’s last, wacky tragedy about two cousins who fall in love with the same foxy lady.

Honey, this play has it all. Or a lot of it. Or some of it. Bad Quarto takes on Troilus and Cressida, Shakespeare’s play about doomed lovers amidst the Trojan War.
