This week, we continue our Twelfth Night character analysis with the drunks! We contend with the sadness underpinning the group's lighthearted comedy, unpack more gender shenanigans, and podcast on empty stomachs. Plus, Charlotte lists every Nintendo character she knows.

This week we return to the land of Illyria and the wonderful world of Twelfth Night! We begin our character analysis with the main cast, and... we don't get very far. This is going to take a while. Strap in!

You there! Podcast listener! What's today, my fine fellow? Why, today is the first day of our series on Twelfth Night, or What You Will. That's the name of our podcast! Join us for a lively discussion about one of Shakespeare's heaters as we finally nail down the definition of the twelve days of Christmas, and Charlotte almost gets the hook for talking about Coriolanus again.

Get your tissues ready, because this week we watch the 2025 film HAMNET. Talking points include crying-induced headaches, the beauty of catharsis, and some very tasteful pitches for a Shakespearean Cinematic Universe.

Last name: Bastard. First name: The. Move over, Jon Snow – it's time to talk about one of English lit's most underappreciated illegitimate sons. Plus, we take a detour to talk about the Aristocats, and reiterate that this is NOT an anti-Catholic podcast.
