 #mitchhampton #DrKurtDaw #shakespeare #theatre #hamnet #life #podcast #folio #shakespeare Dr. Daw’s journey is in many respects similar one ideal or representative journey I have in mind for the journey of our podcast name. I have always felt that Shakespeare has a universal value and this episode was in many respects an expression in conversation of what such a phenomenon in art and culture could possibly mean. During this episode I mentioned in passing the now somewhat obscure but once culturally significant figure of the great jazz/hispter comedian Lord Buckley and his “Willie The Shake” routine. I have no idea whether this registers much anymore but the very fact that in the 1950s a “hipster”and “beatnik” comedy could have a sort of hit about the glories of Shakespeare is but one of many and myriad examples of just how one author can have a most comprehensive and, indeed, eternal journey. I really enjoyed this conversation and episode immensely and hope this pleasure connects with the audience and listeners in the world.More about the magnificent Dr. Kurt Daw:BIOGRAPHYKurt Daw is a professor of Theater Arts at San Francisco State.
