Description
Send us a Text Message.Today, I look askance at two plays by Ben Jonson, whom many see (not me, though) as the greatest English playwright bar Shakespeare: Every Man In His Humour and Every Man Out of His Humour. These have become the paradigmatic examples of the 17th century "comedy of humours."Thank you to the Internet Archive for providing public domain recordings of The Benny Hill Show and Fawlty Towers theme songs.I Hate TalkingA podcast about talking, etymology, frustrating topics, current events, and more.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the Show.Please like, subscribe, and rate the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, or wherever you listen.
