“If you are a fan of theater, subscribe now. Yes, there are many light-hearted discussions with a Shakespearean theme, but the essence of this podcast is the theater. The interviews with playwrites, actors, directors, etc. are entertaining and informative.”

“I've listened to the RSC podcast faithfully for years. I've enjoyed each and every one they produced. It's one of the few podcasts I keep rather than delete after playing it.
I love Austin's choice of topics in general, and I especially love the podcasts related to Shakespeare. Austin interviews...”Read full review »
