Looks like Shakespeare’s got some company.
A new edition of Shakespeare’s works credits another author — Christopher Marlowe — with some of the Bard’s work. But how can you tell? Is this just another Shakespearean conspiracy theory? And what does this mean for Shakespeare’s legacy?
Scholar and skeptic Eve Siebert talks with Daniel, Kylie, and Ben on this episode of Talk the Talk.

Full interview
This is the full interview that Kylie and Daniel had with scholar, skeptic, and medievalist Eve Siebert, about how computational techniques are revealing Christopher Marlowe’s role in collaborating with Shakespeare on some plays.
Cutting Room Floor
With Kylie gone, Daniel invents the most annoying ringtone of all time. And what did Ben do at his buck’s night? Oh, just incited a zombie riot. (Long story.)
Here’s how a simple button got us woke to sexism. And Ben offers some perceptive analysis of where tertiary education is going.
Why do some people hate Shakespeare? How do you pronounce ouroboros? Or cetacean? Or cervical? How do you say anything‽
