Awkward Shakespeare is a scene by scene guide to some of Shakespeare’s greatest works, an in-depth but lighthearted exploration of the stories and language behind the plays. Every episode deals with a single scene, so it’s really easy to navigate, and we’ll be looking at key characters and key concepts along the way.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/17610302/The_Awkward_large_7xixmc.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/17610302/The_Awkward_large_7xixmc_1200x628.jpg?s=991fc19641332b21cf68a3a58af63e62&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://vickispreadbury.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/vickispreadbury/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-4qhvc-10cb63e?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":30,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"vickispreadbury","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-4qhvc-10cb63e-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/awkward-shakespeare/id1774555981","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-4qhvc-10cb63e?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/5oCl8sGSazyrxlCCzz6h9T","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c254343-b9c8-40a2-af75-97fb8f2ab934","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FF003D"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

The Awkward English Teacher

A little bit socially awkward, but mostly just really stubborn. This podcast series exists because I've never liked education to be about passing exams or learning how to answer questions in specific ways. I first encountered Shakespeare in primary school through Leon Garfield's Shakespeare's Stories, a school trip to Return to the Forbidden Planet, and two very passionate and gifted teachers who wrote us our own Shakespearean mash-up rock musical for a school play. It's that enthusiasm I want to share.

Throughout I will do my best to be accurate, but my days of university level study are far behind me now and there are bound to be some errors along the way. Feel free to politely point them out! Or if there's a take you simply don't agree with, comment and give your own. Discussion is, after all, what it should be about. Thanks for listening.
