Shakespeare Special - The Tempest 2 - The Sea and the Mirror, by W. H. Auden

Michael & Ethan keep talking about William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, but actually about W. H. Auden’s poem, The Sea and the Mirror. They both cried, and they aren’t afraid to tell you so.

  • Ethan makes a deep cut: Here’s Michael in Hamlet.

  • This podcast does it right just once.

  • Ethan has flashbacks.

  • Michael gets super theological.

  • Ethan is not gonna make this The Alchemy Podcast….

  • Michael makes it about money.

  • Ethan is better than Michael at humility.

  • Ethan inducts you into his cult.

  • Stick around for bloopers!
