  • Back to college (in a good way!)

    I studied English Lit in college and fell in love with Dickens during a semester-long course focusing on his work. Since then I’ve read biographies as well as more of his work, just trying to soak up as much of Dickens as I could. Finding this podcast was like entering the best, most interesting lectures and I feel like I’m back with my college friends, geeking out about our shared love and interest in his novels. Thank you for all the hard work you put into the episodes!
