Speaking of Romeo & Juliet Podcast

MrT is back as robotic, monotone-voiced and sleep-inducing as ever with an episode introducing Friar Laurence.

In today's episode, MrT trashes Romeo for his apparent narcissism and does an amateurish job of changing up his voice. Students should pay attention to the various language devices that Shakespeare uses.[Music credit:  Intro - "The Odd Couple" - Neil Hefti (1968); Ending - Bruno Marz "When I was Your Man"]

This first tutorial episode goes over the main ideas in the Prologue that basically tells the story and gives away the plot but only just enough for us to want to run back and know all the details. Listen with your textbook open to the Prologue. It'll make a huge difference if you read the textbook as you listen. [Music credit: "The Odd Couple" - Neil Hefti (1968)]
