Michelle’s ‘Green World’
Michelle Ephraim – a Professor of English and (with Caroline Bicks), the cohost of the Everyday Shakespeare podcast and the co-author of Shakespeare, Not Stirred: Cocktails for Your Everyday Dramas – joins us this week to talk about her frank and funny new book, Green World: A Tragicomic Memoir of Love & Shakespeare. Michelle reveals she discovered Shakespeare surprisingly late; how “fun” is a a perfectly fine description of her sometimes fraught memoir; the shared curse of meeting hero Stephens; how Shakespeare became a source of both pain and solace in the wake of a parent’s death; how her relatively cushy job became surprisingly hazardous; and, finally, how Shakespeare – a dead European white man – became a very relatable force for inclusion. (Length 19:31)

Hi Megan —
Great question! Here’s the link to episode 449, and you can follow the Older Posts link at the bottom of the page to find previous episodes. There’s supposed to be a link where you can find episodes by YEAR, but I can’t find it! I’ll keep looking! http://www.reducedshakespeare.com/category/podcasts/page/11/

Hi RSC,
I was wondering to see how to download the beginning portion of the RSC podcast on itunes before episode 450. I have episodes 450-500 downloaded on itunes because that’s all that’s showing so far. I know on the RSC website, you have the podcasts you’ve guys done.
Thanks
