I absolutely love this podcast it’s so insightful but not too in depth or quick moving. I wish there were more! Thank you :)
Love this podcast
Sad that I found out about this right now :( I’m enjoying the explanation of Hamlet and has helped me so much throughout my reading. Hope they come back with more though
More please!!
