As we mentioned earlier this month (when we sent July's email late), August has kicked off an exciting season of work beyond the podcast that we are excited to share more about soon. Kourtney is wrapping up her dissertation in under 10 days, and Elyse is finishing the most recent draft of the family-friendly play about Shakespeare she is co-writing.

This month, we also celebrate the "birthdays" of two of our most popular episodes of all time: Twelfth Night: Gender and Queer Theory and Hamlet: Ophelia, Gertrude, and Female Agency.​
