9 episodes! 9 whole episodes--you lucky, lucky revisers! This week we look at Eric, his terrible deeds and Priestley's perhaps uncomfortable presentation of him at the play's end. Can a modern audience still relate to this message in the same way? We explore all this and more.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. We hope you have all had a fantastic festive period and are super excited to get back to some hardcore revision. And what better way to start than with a look at Shakespeare's seemingly obvious portrayal of morality in 'Macbeth'? As with all RevisionPod topics, however, things are perhaps not as simple as they first seem...

Welcome back podders! After a beautiful summer break, we hope you are all ready to get your teeth into some serious revision. This week, we embark on the other AQA poetry cluster: Love and Relationships. Specifically, we have a look at this summer's exam question and talk about how doomed (or perhaps not) romantic feelings are reflected in the bleak landscape of the two poems.
