Today we welcome actor, director, and writer Caroline Mincks to the show to look at one of the most iconic couples in all of Shakespeare: Beatrice and Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing. Their love is timeless- or at least their banter is- but this is one of the few scenes that the two actually share. Featuring: being tricked into falling in love, flipping genders, Daddy Issues, Baby Boy Claudio, The Friar Playbook, and our first official Calder's Corner (TM).

The Pod’s the Thing was created by Emma Sherr-Ziarko and Felix Trench, and is produced by Emma Sherr-Ziarko.

This episode features Emma Sherr-Ziarko, Felix Trench, Calder Shilling, and Caroline Mincks. It was edited by Emma Sherr-Ziarko.
