This time as a bonus episode, we are reading the first canto of Spenser's The Faerie Queene. I would say this episode comes with a pretty intense emetophobia warning, and a warning for violence. If you hear me stumbling, that's because I'm trying to figure out what on earth the original spelling means.

Bronwyn Barnwell joins us to talk about Loves Labours Lost and share an excerpt from her upcoming radio play.

Lily Pipkin and Ronan Melomo join us to talk about the first moments of Much Ado About Nothing, and why messengers are always funny.
