My latest monthly #Shakespeare recommendation is now on Instagram - but you can also see it below.

A real honour to have Sound the Horne included in Radio 4 Extra's request weekend on Sunday 17th August.

The Beeb and the Bard was presented by me and the actor Samuel West. We were described as "a perfect pairing, with West's insights into performing the Bard on air, and Smith's academic heft, as well as a superb selection of archive clips" (Gerrard O'Donovan, Telegraph).
