““a disturbance, hoo-ha, kerfuffle, a real to-do, the kind that wouldn’t be welcome in a library.” ”
FOOTNOTES
Descriptions of Extras and Outtakes:
Extra 10: Receive the Pie.
This outtake, from our lengthy conversation with Catie Osborn, begins as a digression into how Titus Andronicus factored into Catie's MFA thesis research and ends with the creation of a new euphemism.
Extra 009: The Cat Circus.
Sometimes our beloved furry friends upstage us and/or generally cause havoc during a recording session. This outtake from Episode 13 is one such occasion. Pure silliness.
Extra 008: Catie Does Titus ('s Performance History).
Because we *literally* couldn't get her to stop talking, we let our guest, Catie Osborn, take us through a brief summary of Titus Andronicus production history. We learn that Titus, though very popular during Shakespeare's time, fell from grace less than a century later. Catie tells us why, and recommends some 20th and 21st century adaptations to watch (and which ones to absolutely AVOID) if you want to explore Titus for yourself.
Extra 007: Italics Rabbit Hole.
In which Jess and Aubrey comb through every edition of A Midsummer Night's Dream they can get their hands on to find out which ones use italics and when. Why? Because that's how we roll. #WordNerds4Life
Extra 006: Shakey's Sperm.
In which we go off on a tangent about the possibility of being impregnated with Will Shakespeare's frozen sperm. Also, where's his head?
Extra 005: BFC17 Katie Little.
Our conversation about Katie Little's BFC17 presentation about French and the first Henriad.
Extra 004: BFC17 Et Cetera.
In which we discuss an alternative take on what "etc" represented in early modern texts; another paper from BFC17 that didn't make the final cut.
Extra 003: BFC17 Container Globe.
A brief shout out to the Container Globe project and Angus Vail; yet another conversation that didn't make it into the final cut of our BFC17 Episode.
Extra 002: BFC17 Dympna Callaghan.
Our dicsussion of Dympna Callahan's keynote speech that didn't make it into the final cut of our BFC17 Episode.
Extra 001: OSF Macbeth.
Our conversation about the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's production of Macbeth (circa 2003?) featuring the inimitable G. Valmont Thomas as the title character. RIP, G. Val.

We value our listeners' time (and our own), and sometimes that means making executive decisions about which parts of our conversations make it into the final cut of our regular podcast. Here on this page you can find clips of Hurly Burly episodes that originally ended up "on the cutting room floor." If you just can't get enough Whamlet, this is the page to slake your thirst.

Aubrey Whitlock is a proud California native, hailing from Modesto, which is not at all one of the “sexy” California places, but a handful of famous people are from there and it’s where your almond milk comes from, so you’re welcome. She is the head of Education Programming with the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, VA, in charge of overseeing all enrichment and educational programs around the production seasons. Aubrey holds a BA in Theatre Arts from UC Santa Cruz (Go Slugs!), an MA in Teaching from Chapman University, and an MLitt and MFA in Shakespeare and Performance from Mary Baldwin University (nee College). She spent most of her 20s teaching like her hair was on fire in Los Angeles and Waterford, CA, until that burnt her out. Teaching is hard and full-time, lifelong teachers are heroes. Since leaving the classroom, Aubrey has performed, stage managed, directed, and dramaturged with professional and amateur Shakespeare companies on both coasts, but her most celebrated accomplishment to date is conscripting Dr. Jess Hamlet to take on this weird, wild podcast project with her. Also she has 4 cats who are deeply unimpressed with any of this.
Jess Hamlet is Assistant Professor of English at Alvernia University in Reading, Pennsylvania. She holds a PhD in Renaissance Literature from the University of Alabama, an MLitt and an MFA in Shakespeare & Performance from Mary Baldwin University, and a BA in theatre from Pacific University. Jess works on Shakespeare, social justice, and public humanities. Her book project, Shakespeare as Paratext to Power, considers moments of social change or upheaval over the past four centuries during which Shakespeare enters the public consciousness. By examining these moments, we can see how much of a role Shakespeare plays in the formation and codification of power structures, particularly those dedicated to maintaining white supremacy. (To be clear, Jess thinks white supremacy is a Bad Thing, but recognizes that Shakespeare has long been complicit in upholding it.)
