Banner voor Mitchell and Webb Are Not Helping

S00E11 - Pretend Room 11 Did Shakespeare Sound More American Than British?

David Mitchell and Robert Webb unpack the ideas behind their Puritans and Accord With Our Values sketches in this episode of the Pretend Room. They discuss using the Puritans to explore cancel culture and purity spirals, why American and British accents developed differently, and the theory that Shakespeare may have sounded closer to a modern American. The conversation then turns to social pressure to publicly take a stand and the famous idea that evil triumphs when good people do nothing. Mitchell and Webb question whether people acting with complete confidence and terrible judgment might be a much bigger problem. Subscribe, like the video and turn on notifications, although apparently that might be unnecessarily stressful.
