In Hamlet<\/em>, William Shakespeare famously wrote: \u201cWhether \u2019tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if that quote applies, but local theater performers Jason Compton and Francisco Torres certainly slung some arrows at each other in this week\u2019s episode<\/a> of Judge John Hodgman<\/em>. Hosted by John \u201cthe PC from those Apple commercials with Justin Long\u201d Hodgman, the comedy podcast is basically a send-up of daytime TV court shows.<\/p>\n

Compton and Torres, who co-run the Madison Shakespeare Company<\/a>, squabble over creative directions in \u201cMuch Ado About Clothing,\u201d the July 18 episode. In short, Compton wants the company to take a more experimental direction while Torres is all about traditional performances.<\/p>\n

The whole thing is about an hour long and worth a listen to hear the two local actors spar in the \u201ccourtroom\u201d over their art. Plus, they shout out Breese Stevens Field and its as-yet-unnamed<\/a> minor league soccer team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But if we\u2019re being honest, the real star of the episode is Mariah Clark, a local nurse and blacksmith who gets a passing mention. Yes, that\u2019s right: a nurse and<\/em> a blacksmith. Even Judge Hodgman attempts to dismiss his two guests so he can talk to Clark \u201cfor the rest of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mariah, I don\u2019t know you, but you\u2019re easily the coolest person I\u2019ve heard about in Madison \u2014 and yes, I am including Thong Cape Scooter Man<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
