Welcome to the first episode of Baffled by the Bard, hosted and created by Hayden Palmer! We’re kicking off the podcast with the hit romantic comedy The Taming of the Shrew, with the first ever guest host Claire Lord. They cover the strange induction act of the play and discuss its purpose and presence for the main storyline. Where’s Kate? Why is the 1% horrible for Christopher Sly? What does Shrek have to do with Taming of the Shrew? And why god why can’t Barthol’mew catch a break? This episode is a great start off, and filled with plenty of laughs and outrageous tangents. Enjoy!

Music: Though My Carriage be But Careless by Thomas Weelkes (1575 - 1623)
