Audible5Amazon CustomerUnited States3 years ago - Frederica?
I love G. Heyer’s Regency Romances and find the premise of this podcast delightful: making new GH fans one at a time. And the host is a brilliant champion for the original and preeminent Regency romance author. Wonderful guests read and react to GH’s novels honestly. Most are won over. Fortunately, many of my favorites are featured. Must ask why no Frederica?

I’m a die-hard GH fan and this is just the podcast I’ve been wishing for. I love the variety of guests, opinions, humor and information, and hearing dramatized clips from my favorite author’s biography is awesome! Thanks, Sara Mae! Keep up the good work!
Apple Podcasts5EverettjbUnited States4 years ago - Thanks so much for your amazing podcast
I grew up with GH. My mother encouraged me to read every one of them as a teenager. I have always felt like a lone voice encouraging friends to read her. Your podcast is great. Lovely balance and really enjoy the biographical elements. Well done. Your hard work should be rewarded with lots of GH loving followers!

Apple Podcasts5TunkerellaUnited Kingdom4 years ago - It’s ok to love Heyer!
I’ve loved Georgette Heyer all my reading life - but kind of secretly. For some reason she always felt like a guilty pleasure, but since finding this podcast I’m totally out in the open with my addiction and apologetic no longer! What a delight to hear intelligent discussion of the Regency novels, and to know she’s loved and appreciated around the world.
Apple Podcasts5SooMartUnited Kingdom4 years ago The more I listen to this show, the more I gain an appreciation of author Georgette Heyer.
Like the host Sara-Mae, I was introduced to Heyer’s Regency romances via my Mum, who adores them.
I always thought of them as a guilty pleasure. So it is quite validating to hear people such as Stephen Fry and Emma Darwin speak of their love for the stories! Listening to Heyer Today as Sara-Mae and her guests discuss Heyer’s life and stories feels like sitting with friends - the show is accessible and wa... more

Apple Podcasts5xxxemilymayUnited Kingdom4 years ago - Delightful podcast that I highly recommend.
I have been reading Georgette Heyer since I started as a live~in Nanny 30 years ago. They took me a long time to collect and kept me company after leaving home. I constantly re-read and am quite precious about how people speak about these books that are like old friends to me. The Heyer Today podcast has seamlessly combined book reviews, guests,re-enactments, historical and informative details. Just a delight! ❤️

Australia4 years ago Wonderful interviews and discussions about an exceptional author undervalued, as her idol Jane Austen is, because of her sex and her use of romance as a tool in storytelling.
