Let's talk about SEX.
Long before Playboy and OnlyFans, Shakespeare knew that sex sells. His works have titillated audiences and academics for centuries. In the first episode of Everyday Forum Podcast, hosts Beck Lloyd and Khadijah Roberts-Abdullah introduce "Sex and Shakespeare." Listen as they divulge unwritten moments in Shakespeare and discuss how conversation makes the theme accessible to the public. Exploring everything from the failed swearing-off of sex in Love's Labour's Lost to Beatrice and Benedick’s lusty banter in Much Ado About Nothing, Maev Beaty moderates this passionate discussion about the conduct of Shakespeare’s characters in courtship and love with Professor Paul Yachnin from McGill University, Love's Labour's Lost director Peter Pasyk and Professor Kim Solga of Western University.
