Michael Witmore is the new (and appropriately named) director of the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, and shares his enthusiastic insight into how Shakespeare opens doors into other worlds, why original annotated texts are awesome, why the humanities matter, how Shakespeare got away with what he did, why the Folger is ‘scholar heaven’, and what makes Shakespeare both one of a kind — and one of us.

Just started listening to the podcast I love it. I was first exposed to the RSC last year when I had student directed Shakespeare Abridged at my high school. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I would like to thank you all for that.
