Episode description

High school students have had “Macbeth” on their required reading list for generations so we are all at least somewhat familiar with the play: witches tell a guy he will become king and his ambition drives him to do terrible things and eventually causes his downfall. You may also know that it is bad luck to say “Macbeth” in the theater but why is that? In this episode we will examine possible reasons and let you know what to do to break the curse should you accidentally invoke it.
