    Tolkien vs. Shakespeare
    Jun 21 2024

    Steven explores Tolkien's professed hatred for the works of Shakespeare while pointing to how much Tolkien's works were actually influenced by the Bard he appeared to be so jealous of, and whether Tolkien's vitriol may have been rooted in his skepticism over Shakespeare authorship.

    Steven and his wife, Annie, discuss the recent Shakespeare Marathon event held at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.

Straight to the Point!

So grateful for the QUALITY of this podcast. Aside from its fascinating topic, the authorship question, it’s cleanly produced. There are other podcasts on this or related subjects I simply can’t tolerate they are so top heavy with boilerplate, pleas for cash or reviews, ads, or horrible audio. Steven hosts a sparkling hour of smart talk. I can’t recommend it highly enough especially if you are an Oxfordian brave enough to contemplate the Prince Tudor Theory.

One of the greats

Give is a listen if you love a good mystery, are a history fan, or just love a good story.

This is consistently my go-to podcast.

It's not only highly entertaining and informative, but never stops peaking my interest in this amazing mystery.

The host is well informed, kind, and a great conversationalist with the scholars, authors, and guests in general (and some can be kind of tricky to deal with) they have on each episode. My favorite have been the ones with Bonner, Hank, Earl, Rodger, and the one with Catherine Chiljan. Fascinating.

I'm so glad this exists for all us Quillers out there - not only as a safe space to ask questions and research new discoveries, but to know there is a community of people who share in the love of Shake-speare's magnificent works.
