Hamlet is commonly regarded as one of the greatest plays ever written. Drawing on Danish chronicles and the Elizabethan vogue for revenge tragedy, Shakespeare created a play that is at once a philosophic treatise, a family drama, and a supernatural thriller.

The ghost of the dead king then appears and charges Claudius with ‘murder most foul.’ Hamlet is called to revenge his father’s death: but will he be able to act before it is too late?

Startups Unpacked

  • Publisher: Dan Hightower
  • Total Episodes: 10

The weekly podcast with fresh takes from venture-backed startup founders who are building great products. Hey ya’ll- I’m Dan Hightower, the host of Startups Unpacked, a podcast where I interview early-stage startup founders, diving into their path towards initial Product/Market Fit, and how they landed their first rounds of funding. We started Startups Unpacked because getting a company started is HARD, and it’s even harder for us, the misfits, who want help getting to product/market fit and finding investors, but find ourselves on the outside of the Silicon Valley clubhouse looking in. Whether you’re an entrepreneur already trying to raise funds, or you’ve been sitting on an idea without direction on where to go next, this show is designed to introduce you to founders who are just one or two steps ahead of you- the ones who have recently been exactly where you are right now. Our mission is to make starting companies more relatable and accessible, and in turn, way less mysterious and exclusive. On each episode, we’ll sit down with a founder or investor who can share their story of building a product that customers can’t live without, or explain how/here to find & close investors. We will never interview: 1.) A unicorn “startup” 2.) A VC with an office on Sand Hill Road

The Passion of Ethel Rosenberg (a Radio Play)

  • Publisher: Dramatic Interpretations
  • Total Episodes: 5

Written by award-winning Nashville music journalist Edward Morris, “The Passion of Ethel Rosenberg” is a one-person, three-act radio play and podcast that focuses on the nearly three years Ethel (portrayed by Keri Pagetta) and her husband, Julius, spent in prison on charges of spying for Russia before being executed by electric chair in 1953. From her prison cell, she recalls her impoverished upbringing on New York’s Lower East Side, and reflects on the choices she made and ambitions she’ll never achieve. Based largely on actual letters exchanged in prison between Ethel and Julius and primary sources from that time, the play imagines Ethel’s agony at the prospect of being executed and leaving her two young sons behind. It also traces her transition from an aspiring and talented singer to a fervent political activist and focuses on a love for her husband so passionate that she unflinchingly followed him to the electric chair. The three acts are followed by an interview episode with Morris and Pagetta. The play is introduced by Natasha Senjanovic, a Nashville-based Pulitzer Center grantee, reporter, producer and editor, and scored by Nashville musician and producer Joe Pisapia (Guster, k.d. lang and others). Photos by David Poag. Directed for podcast by Keri and Joe Pagetta based on the original direction for the stage by Carolyn German. It was produced by Keri and Joe Pagetta.

🥇Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

  • Publisher: Amado Hidalgo Trenado
  • Total Episodes: 17

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (original English title, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the United States and India) 3 is a fantasy and adventure film based on the homonymous book by JK Rowling, Directed by filmmaker Chris Columbus and released in 2001. It became the first release in the Harry Potter film series. The story follows Harry Potter, a boy who when he turns eleven years old discovers that he is a wizard, for which he is sent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to begin his training as such.The script was written by the American Steve Kloves, who concluded that his work had been arduous; Kloves claims to have felt nervous the first time he met Rowling because he did not want her to think about a possible “maladaptation.” The cast consisted of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane, Alan Rickman and Ian Hart. The special effects were carried out mainly by Sony Pictures Imageworks and Industrial Light & Magic, and more than 600 shots with computer-generated effects were included for which several specialized companies were hired.The conception of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone began in 1997, when British producer David Heyman was searching Hollywood for a children’s book that could serve as the inspiration for a hit movie. Soon after, his company (Heyday Films) suggested The Philosopher’s Stone, a project that Heyman would present to Warner Bros. Thus, in 1999 Rowling sold the film rights to the first four books in the series for just under $ 2,000,000. As an additional detail, the author demanded that the main cast would have to be of British nationality, allowing only some exceptions such as that of the Irish actor Richard Harris (interpreter of Albus Dumbledore); this was so in order to maintain a cultural link between the book and the adaptation. In the early stages of production, director Steven Spielberg was proposed to direct the film, but he would eventually decline the offer. Finally, production began in 2000, under the direction of Chris Columbus, with the majority of the scenes being shot at Leavesden Studios.
