„Mein Herz so weiß" von Javier Marias

Max and Kelley talk about their experiences with ghosts in a Miami theater, Underground Atlanta, and seeing holiday lights at a park in Tallahassee, where we actually got photo evidence two years in a row of a ghost with a tri-corner hat and his friends. What we learned from those experiences is that respecting the spirits is crucial, and when you do, they will often leave you alone and maybe jump in for a photo op.

If you'd like to read about the ghosts we mention, this link to Kelley's blog called Ghost of a Chance with the two photos.  This is the link to the blog that Max read - Between Here and Ever After. Max's Kindle book, A River Between Zen and Chaos, also talks about his experience with the ghost of the Cinematheque, which was located in Coral Gables before it moved to Miami Beach.

In this episode we dig around in the garage to find the plastic storage tub filled with Halloween decorations and cover the house in them for the next 31 day of our Spooky month special.

It’s witches bitches!

That's right for the next 5 Tuesdays in a row we will be delving into the wicked world of witchcraft.

We kick spooky month off as we mean to go on and dive right into the witches of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Shakespeare never calls the 3 sisters in Macbeth, witches. The source material that inspired him to write the play never calls them witches. They might not be witches. So if Shakespeare didn't call them witches, what did he call them and where does that leave us?

Of the many plays he wrote Macbeth is one of the most famous. The Tragedie of Macbeth was first performed in 1606. While the play is based on real historical people, Duncan, Macbeth and Malcolm really were kings of the Scots. The play does not necessarily follow the actual events.

Shakespeare uses the plot of Macbeth to create a cautionary tale for any would be usurper looking to dethrone any rightful monarch. Oh and coincidentally, Shakespeare’s employer/patron at the time WAS the ‘rightful’ monarch of England. This employer was also massively into the hunting and killing of witches. So yeah.

Episode features cameos from John Heminge, Henry Condell, The First Folio, Holinshed’s Chronicles is a comprehensive history of England, Scotland and Ireland, Simon Forman, The Globe Theatre, London and Macbeth.

How did Uranus get its name? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice explain all the things you thought you knew about the names of the planets and moons in our solar system, the formation of the moon, and the constellations.
