Episode summary: In our second My Name is Leon episode, we look at whether the protagonist should be considered an admirable character. As with all good 'to what extent' questions, the first thing to get into is what admirable really means. Certainly not a word ever used to describe Mr Forster, but one that must be explored to unlock a more complex and thoughful essay response.

Episode summary: Our tenth episode on Romeo and Juliet means that we are starting to explore some of the more niche questions that could come up. But remember, just because this question is an unlikely one, there is a whole lot of stuff in here that could be used in other essays as well. So come with us as we explore how the passage of time - and particularly the speed of its passing - has such a huge effect on our eponymous star-crossed lovers.

A dear friend in your time of need, or a traitor and a coward? No, not a question about Mr Forster - although, you'd have a point - but instead an exploration of a seemingly minor but actually very important character within the play: the Friar.

Episode summary: Fate... the idea that everything is predestined, that the very fact that you are here listening to this podcast was somehow preordained and written into the cosmos.

Hopefully you will find the next twenty-five minutes less painful than the fated journey of our eponymous star-crossed lovers, and emerge confident in how to write an essay about this tricky but not too tricky theme.
