Clown College Reunion – A Podcast from the Reduced Shakespeare Company

Irreverent, yet informed, The Reduced Shakespeare Company is a three-man comedy troupe known for taking long, serious subjects and reducing them into short, sharp comedies. They are famous for doing the complete works of Shakespeare (37 plays) in a 97 minute, fast-paced romp through Bard’s plays.

This is one of their entertaining and FREE podcasts:
