Groundlings: Recent Episodes
Peterson + Whitehead
The uneducated peasants who watched Shakespeare‘s plays were referred to as groundlings. And, while we don‘t use chamberpots or wear corsets, we too are ”unqualified” lovers of art. Join us each episode as we thoroughly talk through books, albums, and movies in a way suitable for the riff-raff.
Crusty white dogs, rat torture, whirlpool lessons, books within books, a perfectly harmless older brother, and so much corruption are all found in Groundlings' 1984 episode in which Matthew and Olivia are joined by their friend Lydia Marshall.
