University where the professors are comedians. We had some budget issues. Like most institutions of higher learning, it's a scam. Hosted by Naomi Karavani.
Professor Naomi Karavani (owns a Norton Shakespeare's Complete Works) talks about Shakespeare's sources for "his" play "King Lear" which were nearly identical to the play he "wrote." "They told me I was everything: 'tis a lie" sums up the play and Shakespeare's career. Professor Emeritus Andrew Cook (man of letters) talks about the real King Leir and his dad who was way cooler. Dr. Brittany Carney (performed King Lear in her backyard to no one) does a deep dive into the mystery surrounding the character of the Fool. Honorary Doctor Michael Summers (washes his hands like a good boy) walks us through the history of Cowboy Lear, or "The King of Texas" 2002 tele-film adaptation with Patrick Stewart (free on YouTube). This episode is for the bookish, the fools, and the idiots. Come hither.

Batsover Part I - Bat Guys, Bat Obstacle Courses, and Bat Cells
After Passover, there's Batsover. There's a lot to say about bats that's why we divided this episode into two parts. Naomi Karavani @naomikaravani delves into the history of bat guys, the guys who discovered how bats fly and their crazy experiments. Michael Summers @michaelsums, chief bat guy, gives us a peak behind the top sheet as to why bats can carry so many diseases and not get sick themselves. Shelly Kim @Shell_gasoline and Steven Chen @stevenchenshow join us too and present their findings in Part II. Critics are saying that this episode might be the funniest.

Spanish-ish Influenza of 1918 - the flu that would get you out of school forever.
We party like it's 1918-- inside, just like today, but worse. They treated the flu with turpentine. Dean Naomi Karavani (@naomikaravani) talks context as Shelley Kim (@shell_gasoline) discusses the origins (mythic and real). Bridget Geiran (@beegeiran) counts the dead, Michael Summers (@MichaelSums) talks about the effects on baseball, and Steven Chen (@stevenchenshow) talks about the effects of the influenza on vaudeville sideshow acts. You're gonna like hearing about how shitty it was.

Visiting Adjunct from Devry Dr. Michael Summers suggests heavy metal is a bigger threat, and Steven Chen (@stevenchenshow) offers his insight on a totally different plague.
