If you ever travel to England (or live there), you'll know there's a lot of Shakespeare places to go and see, in particular around his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. As far as tourist sites go, they're basically what you'd expect. But for a pair of English language/history/literature nerds, they're a bit more interesting. Visiting the Globe to see a Shakespeare play as it was written to be performed for yours truly wasn't just a cool part of a trip to London, it was a pilgrimage.

Notes:

Ancient Bickerings:

  • This episode we revisited our recurring "let's time travel Shakespeare to the modern day" idea, and asked: which Shakespeare site would you like to bring the bard to if you could?
