  • Being Interested in: Professional Uselessness & Participatory Theatre
    Jul 20 2025

    This week, Lou and Eden take a look at taking part. How much effort should you bring to the workplace? Do you get freaked out when you're at a play and someone onstage asks you to do something?

    Taking on a slew of lacklustre co-workers and the finest audience participatory work the East Mids has to offer (in the last month, that is), this episode is somewhat of a mixed bag... Then again, aren't they all!

  • Being Interested In: the Renaissance Renaissance & the Mushroom Murders
    Jul 8 2025

    CW: Please note this episode contains discussion of death by poisoning & disordered eating. For support, please head to https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/get-information-and-support/get-help-for-myself/i-need-support-now/helplines/ or call Samaritans on 116 123.

    Lou and Eden forage for meaning in this week's topics: the Renaissance Renaissance and the Mushroom Murders.

    If you've ever wondered why people love dressing up as peasants in fields or how you can accidentally forage poisonous mushrooms, then this probably isn't the most informative place to go for definitive answers. But we do discuss it at length. Have you ever felt the urge to LARP? Do you ever want to correct an American who has got the Early Modern and Medieval periods confused? And most importantly - are you equally as obsessed with that mushroom lady from Australia as we are?

    Apologies that this week's episode has been posted late - I have just been very busy and also tired.

  • Being Interested in: Food Trends & Hamlet Hail to the Thief
    Jun 29 2025

    This week, Lou and Eden tackle two subjects close to their respective hearts - online food trends and adaptations of Hamlet. They ask riveting questions like: what's the deal with pistachios? Was Shakespeare a misogynist? And does liking browned butter before everyone else make you better than them?

    Let us know what you think - and let us know which food trend your favourite Shakespeare character would be into. I think Mercutio's a strawberry matcha kind of diva.
