I've come to really like Dore although I had never heard of him prior to covid. I think the first video I watched was him saying he thought he was vax injured. You observations on humour echo mine with your indefatigable way of tying various themes and sources together. I do however see the whole Shakespeare thing completely differently after I went down the "who is William Shakespeare" rabbit hole and then I listened to this podcast that just made it all make sense. It's eleven episodes but it is beyond entertaining and I think it's a must for any theatre nerd: https://open.spotify.com/show/6R9aiVXaFTcwtFdQI8xIqw

I promise you will not be the same listening to this.

Oooh, I love your theatre nerd recommendations. I'm on it! Actually, I love all of your recommendations, come to think of it...🧐😂

Just for the record, when I wrote Her Own Words, which posited that Shakespeare was actually Aemilia Bassano Lanier, I fell into some major rabbit holes myself. I am so thoroughly convinced that he did NOT write a single word of those plays! But I'm looking forward to the podcast to have my mind blown some more.

And thanks for noticing the logo! It's part of some new adventures for TAOF and for me...😉
