Unlocked: Myth of the Month 10, pt. 4: the Shakespeare Authorship Controversy - a podcast by Samuel Biagetti

Unlocked for the public, after one year for patrons only, the final lecture of the series on Shakespeare:

Could it be that "Shakespeare" wasn't Shakespeare? -- That someone else, perhaps a highly-educated aristocrat, actually wrote the works attributed to the actor from Stratford? Am I a crackpot for even entertaining such a ridiculous idea? We consider the evidence.

I know this is an absurdly long one, but forgive me, it was so much fun to research and record.
