Shakespeare's Histories in Audio

Shakespeare’s epic eight-play saga captures the cyclical nature of violence and history, while showcasing poignant domestic stories of families and their divided loyalties. In the first half, The King's Shadow, Prince Hal indulges in a reckless adolescence until he must unite his country by becoming the legendary King Henry V. In the second half, The Queen's Storm, Margaret of Anjou, a princess from lands abroad, faces threats and treachery from every direction as she rises to become England's queen.

    Boysober

    Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men.
