I was brainstorming with ShakespeareGeek the other day about all things Shakespeare and how to expand the audience for the conversation about his works—and then it struck us that we were uniquely situated to start a Shakespeare podcast.
We've both been blogging about Shakespeare for years. We both have a great passion for (nearly) all things Shakespeare. And we both have strong opinions and aren't afraid to argue about them.
After that, it was a matter of considering where we could best fit in and what an audience would like to hear. With the increasing number of "rewatch" podcasts out there and the relative paucity of rewatch podcasts focusing on Shakespeare, the choice became clear. We would put together the ultimate Shakespeare rewatch podcast, re-watching (or, for one or the other or both of us, watching for the first time) Shakespeare films in the infinite variety that exists out there.
We are now pleased to present Infinite Variety: The Shakespeare Rewatch Podcast:

Infinite Variety: The Shakespeare Rewatch Podcast explores the enormous number of things that have been done with the works of William Shakespeare. Bardfilm and ShakespeareGeek, two longtime Shakespeare bloggers, offer insight, commentary, and argument on a vast array of projects inspired by Shakespeare—and on the plays and poetry of Shakespeare himself.
Please join us for our first endeavor in what we hope to be a long series of Shakespearean adventures: A rewatch of the Canadian television show Slings & Arrows. Even if you've seen it a dozen times before, you'll find new insights here. And if you've never seen it, you won't be lost! You'll find much of interest in our discussions and arguments (and you're likely to be inspired to track down a great television show to watch on your own).
Subscribe to Infinite Variety on your favorite podcast platform (links are found below), and spread the word. We want to invite as many people as possible to join the Shakespeare conversation.
p.s. All right, it's not something completely different. But it is a completely new medium for a continuing conversation!
