The history of the Arkansas Constitution — Buzzed Bards do 'Hamlet'

Jack Travis

On today's show, we consider that the Arkansas Constitution is the same document from 190 years ago, just altered and amended. Plus, we hear about a new production of Hamlet that shortens the text, keeps the spirit and allows for some changes suggested by the audience. We also learn about a 2022 documentary exploring a weird 1990s occurrence.
