I found these on Hoopla today! The top one was Episode Fifteen or something in the series, and I would not recommend it. The lecturer basically summarizes Othello in his own words for the whole thirty minutes. 🤷🏻♀️ The bottom one was about Shakespeare in general rather than a specific play (for Episode One). It was interesting! I‘ll probably keep listening to that series. #greatcourses #ShakespeareReadalong #oncealitstudentalwaysalitstudent
cornfedwellread This seems cool! I've been interested in the Great Courses, but the prices have been a bit of a deterrent. What's Hoopla? The only Hoopla I know of is the arts and culture section of a local paper, and I'm pretty sure that's not what you're talking about. 😆 7y
emtobiasz There‘s also one on Hoopla about classic mystery stories; I‘ve enjoyed the first few of that. @therealdealbeall Hoopla is a digital book/music/movie borrowing service that some libraries subscribe to for their patrons. Check with your local public library! 7y
KatieanneF @therealdealbeall they have the longer courses available on audible for 1 credit. The shorter courses are a lot less expensive- some are less than a dollar. I‘ve listened to a few and I think they‘re great! 7y

cornfedwellread Thanks @emtobiasz and @KatieanneF ! I'll have to see if my library has Hoopla, and I'll check out audible for some of the courses. :) 7y
readinginthedark @therealdealbeall Sorry, I just saw your comment! Thanks @KatieanneF and @emtobiasz for pickin‘ up my slack! All I have to add is that if you‘re paying for them, make sure you listen to a sample first. There are a few of these professors I can‘t listen to for any length of time. 7y
cornfedwellread @readinginthedark No problem! Thanks for the tip :) 7y
