This has been a busy month! January felt so long, but February feels like it barely started when it is already the end of the month.

We have some exciting things happening behind the scenes. Earlier this week, we recorded an episode with Stephanie and Mike from Protest Too Much Podcast, a Shakespeare showdown podcast. The last time we were guests on their pod was back in 2022, where we debated with Stephanie over the most impactful death in Shakespeare and debated other Shakespeare podcasters about which character would be the best podcast host. The P2M team has also included us in their episode on their favorite Shakespeare podcasts!

It was a lot of fun to catch up and reconnect with them. If you are ever in Austin, Texas, we recommend checking out their theatre company, Walking Shadow Shakespeare Project. The episode we recorded with them should be out in about a month.

Are you a teacher or do you know teachers who teach or want to teach Shakespeare?

We are still looking to hear from teachers about the obstacles educators face when teaching Shakespeare in the classroom and learn what would help educators most. If you are an educator, we'd greatly appreciate it if you could help us out by completing this survey.​

If you know teachers who might be interested in taking the survey, please feel free to forward it to them!
