    The Little World: Tudor & Stuart England with Nandini Das (ep 250) Jun 17, 2026
    Show notes

    Tudor and Stuart England is sometimes considered "a scepter'd isle," as Shakespeare put it--proudly alone. But in fact, the history is much more complicated. Nandini Das explores how small and interconnected the world was in the 16th and 17th centuries, and how that contributed to the nature and character of England at the time.

    Power, Praise, and Pressure: How King Lear Gets it Wrong (ep 248) May 27, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of the Royals, Rebels, and Romantics Leadership Series, Carol Ann examines Shakespeare's King Lear as a cautionary tale. Instead of behaving as a leader, Lear behaves as a bully, grasping for power and control. He treats leadership as a transaction, attempting to exchange power for praise. Not surprisingly, everything falls apart.
