Today we are dissecting the hidden details of William Shakespeare’s private life. You know his romantic plays, characters and sonnets, but what was The Bard like as a lover? Did his marriage to farmer’s daughter, Anne Hathaway (no, not that one) inspire his work?

To hell if we know! Elizabethan gossip columnists SUCKED at archiving the juicy details. Alas, we are left to piece together the scant intel available to imagine what their marriage was like.

Join us as we dive into the historical and fictional depictions of their relationship based on their unconventional age gap, hearsay rumors, Shakespeare’s bizarre will, cryptic epitaph and more. Plus, we explore the looming questions around his sexuality and fidelity based on the Fair Youth and Dark Lady subjects of his sonnets.

The year was 1992, and the longtime married man Ted Danson had just wrapped filming the 10th season of the popular sitcom Cheers. The 11th season would not film for another couple months, and so with an abnormally long hiatus ahead of him, Ted decided to sign on to the comedy movie Made in America, starring alongside the recent Oscar winner, Whoopi Goldberg. What happened next was pop culture history. An affair that would go down in infamy.

The '90s may be a black hole in terms of primary sources and research, but Kaitlyn made sure to scrape up and uncover all the juicy details about this eventful affair. From awkward TV interviews, to controversial comedy routines, to decade later tell-alls, this episode explores it all.

Note: Mel experienced audio technical difficulties this episode, so her track may sound like she was on the phone (which she was). We apologize-- next week will sound much clearer!
