For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved? SHOW NOTES: Meet The Man Living in The Lost City Carved in Stone Jordan: Petra's tourism authority cracks down on Bedouin cave dwellers The tribes paying the brutal price of conservation “There is no future for Umm Sayhoun” Jordan’s Young Bedouins Are Documenting Their Traditions on TikTok Check out Sami's company Jordan Inspiration Tours Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

S3:E10 - 'Tis Pity She's a Wh*re 2:10:22

2:10:22

It’s been a long road, but we have finally come to our Season 3 finale: ‘TIS PITY SHE’S A WHORE! If you thought Hamlet was incestuous…buckle up, friends, because things are about to get weird. And do especially mind the content notes on this one. CONTENT NOTE This play and this episode depicts overt misogynist violence, including a graphic onstage murder.

S3:E9 - The Lion King with Arezou Amin (At the Movies Series) 1:17:10

47 weeks ago1:17:10

1:17:10

This episode in our At the Movies series, we’re tackling everyone’s favourite childhood trauma, THE LION KING! With very special guest Arezou Amin, we tackle what Matthew Broderick is doing in this movie, how Hamlet’s dad pales in comparison to Mufasa, and to what extent Disney atones for its sins in the sequel. CONTENT NOTE: The Lion King famously depicts the death of Mufasa by stampede, and his brother Scar encouraging Simba, a child at the time, to believe it’s all his fault. AREZOU AMIN is a full-time writer, though she’s worn many hats, from teaching, to Disney cast member, to on-set production assistant. She writes for the preschool web series Lili & Lola, and her work also appears on Collider, in Star Wars Insider, and on The Geeky Waffle, which she also co-runs. She has a BA from the University of Toronto, and an MA from the University of Geneva. She reads an absurd amount, enjoys travelling as much as possible, takes recreational ballet in her spare time, and is the proud owner of a moody-yet-cuddly gerbil named Echo.…

S3:E8 - The Banquet (At the Movies Series) 1:31:51

1:31:51

For once, a film we actually liked!! In this episode from our Shakespeare At the Movies series, we break down Feng Xiaogang’s 2006 wuxia Hamlet adaptation THE BANQUET (aka The Black Scorpion). James somehow connects this to the Loch Ness Monster, we envy Hamlet’s fancy hair bath, and there’s just a little too much incest for everyone’s comfort level. CONTENT NOTE This episode discusses the various forms of violence that are represented in the film, including sexual violence.…

1:10:24

We’re back with the second part of HAMLET, featuring our fantastic guest and VP of Merch Dr Emer McHugh! This time, Polonius is finally concise, the Ghost just wants to go to bed, Horatio and Hamlet somehow end up naked together (whoopsie, how did that happen??), and James gets salty about the lack of stage time for the pirates. With cameos from pelicans, sparrows, and a Danish seal. CONTENT NOTE: Hamlet and this episode discusses suicide and self harm, murder by stabbing and poison, “madness”, grief and burial (including a disrupted funeral).

S3:E2 - She's The Man [Twelfth Night] (At The Movies Series) 1:11:27

1:11:27

It’s time for a dubious holiday (& world cup) special, a movie that has aged like pint of ice cream, our first Shakespeare film adaptation: SHE’S THE MAN! With apologies in advance to your early ‘aughts nostalgia, we dive into this Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum classic. As is tradition, the high school characters are played by actors clearly approaching 30, the Shakespeare appropriation is ham-fisted at best (Channers’ character is literally named “Duke Orsino.” First name Duke, last name Orsino), and the gay panic/transphobia is at an all-time high. What fun! CONTENT NOTE: As you might expect, this episode discusses gender dysphoria, transphobia, and homophobia. We also talk about body image and weight/weight loss.

(Audience Choice) Middleton Mid-Season: E2 - Women Beware Women 1:25:48

2 years ago1:25:48

1:25:48

Our Middleton Mid-Season (finally) concludes with our fan’s choice: WOMEN BEWARE WOMEN! Join us on this wild ride of infidelity, incest, murder, and mayhem, which of course is all the fault of the pesky women and nothing to do with the men involved. Not at all. Not even one little bit. Come for the naughty chess puns; stay for the…*checks notes*…burning gold?? Content Note: this play discusses and depicts coercive sexual encounters, incest, and misogyny typical of the period (including an “inspection” of a female character by her prospective husband. This is non-penetrative but still absolutely gross). The final banquet scene has a high body count with several murders by various means taking place in quick succession.

Hi! Did you miss us? We’re back with a bang, as our friend Dr Brandi K. Adam’s joins us to tackle Thomas Middleton’s iconic city comedy A CHASTE MAID IN CHEAPSIDE! It’s got secret marriages and escaping daughters; it’s got meat babies and Puritans; it’s got Timoetheus AND his tutor; it’s even got all the mountains in Wales! Brandi’s mastery of Latin and Nintendo baddies alike comes in very handy as we navigate this wacky romp of a play. This marks the first of two bonus episodes - aka The Middleton Mid-Season - which were chosen in an audience poll tournament. Brandi K. Adams is an assistant professor in the Department of English at Arizona State University and member of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
