Season 4 of #HIPSPodcast is arriving on 3 February 2026. As per Season 3, it is now a webcast as well. You can watch all the videos on YouTube and it gives you visuals such as when passages are quoted to help you understand what is being said.

It still works as a podcast, of course, and you can hear the series on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or other media.

This series is a slight departure, where a debate is held between our resident expert, Dr Peter Hodges and Dr Joseph Khoury of St Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Canada. Carol Paxton and Dr Julian Ng then comment on that conversation.

Don’t miss our new season: arriving on all podcast apps from 3rd February, 2026.

Another year, another season of our beloved podcast. Season 3 of Hidden in Plain Sight hits the airways on January 14.

This time around, Peter Hodges, Carol Paxton and Julian Ng dig into the collection of sonnets, popularly attributed to William Shakespeare. Specifically, we are focusing on the so-called ‘Procreation Sonnets’. What exactly are they? Why were they written? For whom were they written? What do they mean?

In this series, we will be joined by some guests – Dr Rachel Wifall (Professor of English at St Peter’s University, New Jersey, USA) and Dr Peter Khoury (Professor of English at St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, Canada).

Not only this, though… this marks the first we have videos! This is now a webcast as well.

Join us as we unravel the mysteries of the delightful sonnets.
