Show Notes
Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of William Shakespeare.
Did Shakespeare actually write the plays he's credited with? How did he become so famous, and why is he still so popular? The history of Shakespeare may not be as dramatic as his plays, but it is perhaps boring enough to help you sleep tonight.
We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland.
This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)
