What do we known about William Shakespeare the man? And why are his works still popular today? Who was Billy Shakes? We dive into the legacy of the English language's most important author this week, examine the claims that Shakespeare didn't actually write all that is attributed to him, learn a lot about the time and place he lived in, and so much more in this literary (and kind of true crime?) edition of Timesuck. Also - go get those street team stickers! And watch my new special August 27th on Youtube.
