Great series
I listen to every episode because there are some which are brilliant and greatly enhance my reading of the play being discussed. The episodes with Heidi and David in particular are really great. There are nuggets in every episode but some veer way too far from the text and focus on the podcasters individual interests, which they strain to connect to the main theme. The Much Ado About Nothing episodes are an example illustrating this issue. In one episode they talk endlessly about superhero movies and barely refer to the text within the act.
