The Shakespearean Shrew

The Shakespearean Shrew

This podcast is going to be a decorum-be-damned entrance into understanding Shakespeare’s stages (for there are many) and all the players on it. We will be delving into the ever-pressing question: Why Shakespeare? Or, sometimes: Why, Shakespeare?!

Do you ever wonder what it takes to be an author? Do you want to find out? Join me this week as I talk with author Luke Swanson about a few of his books and what it has taken to get his work from the idea to the published page. We’ll talk about how social media and AI impact writers and the hidden cost of writing. We also get to discuss metatextuality, so be prepared to throw that term at some unsuspecting victim and why we, as writers and readers, tend to return to the stories we love. We talk

2026/02/11

Let’s get Wilde – Oscar Wilde! (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.) This episode allows me the opportunity to talk to amazing director, actor, and human Lance Marsh as we delve into directing not one cast but TWO in the co-production of The Importance of Being Earnest. We discuss the difference between directing and acting in a production, why Marsh is directing The Importance of Being Earnest once again and why he decrees it the all-time funniest play.

A One Man Actor’s Carol With David Weber: A Social Enema

The Shakespearean Shrew ·

2025/11/12

Join David Weber, friend, clown, professor, director, and amazing human, and the Shrew as we talk about not only the stages of a play but the stages of recovery in terms of sobriety and surgery. What does it take to heal? What does it take to push past our own boundaries? Can we even push the boundaries when we are in debt to our jobs, to the economy, and socially indebted? What happens to our communities when the clown cannot afford to push back? We will discuss the inherent discomfort that is part

Brotherly…Love: The Lion in Winter

The Shakespearean Shrew ·

2025/10/08

Keeping it all in the family, yeah, always a creepy aspect of royal families, but how does a fraternal relationship off stage impact a familial relationship on stage? Is the competition real, an act, or something in between? How do actors find camaraderie and community in spite of, or perhaps because of, the fierce competition for roles? Find out in this episode as we sit down to talk with fan (and shrew) favorite Justin Marlow, and bright, shiny, and new faces to OSP and seniors at OU, Ethan Walker

Two husband and wife duos in a row! This episode we talk to actor Tiffany Tuggle and Wil Rogers, actor and writer of MacDeath. (Yes, those are their real names - I asked.) We talk about balancing family and acting, relationships on and off the stage, superstition on the stage.

When we think “women gone wild,” we tend to think of wet t-shirt contests. That is not these women. These women (and one man, sorry, Caylor Peterson - they love you and spoke of your glory) have gone off the beaten track (this play is being performed in Yellow Dog Coffee Company), co-produced by three individuals, directed as a company, and are performing a play that pushes the boundaries of actors and audience alike.

**This is a fun and raucous interview so choose your volume accordingly! For this episode we are going to talk size - no, not that kind of size - though there will be some talk of “eggplant emojis” in this episode. I mean the size of the role versus the impact of the part. Join us as we talk with Jimmy Pike, Denton Meehan, and Lucas Schrantz who are well-versed in playing many parts (sometimes within one play or even a single scene!).
