Season 3 of Not Another Shakespeare #Podcast is launching 20th November with our episode on #RomeoAndJuliet !

For those new to show, the premise is that we take neither ourselves nor #Shakespeare very seriously. Each episode, I introduce my civilian husband James to an #EarlyModern play, and he reacts in often hilarious ways. You can find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or wherever else you get your pods!

Only. One. Island. 🔥 SHIP WRECKED washes ashore November 15th!
