  • My First Impressions

    I just finished listening to your first 2 episodes covering The 1995 BBC/A&E mini series of Pride and Prejudice. It was also my first introduction to Austen at age 15 in 95. I have been a Austen fan since and I am proud of it. Finding other like minded people is always a joy...❤️well done ladies. I can’t even tell you how much I have fallen in love with your program and will start listening to the rest directly Thank you.

  • Very enjoyable!

    I’m only up to episode 14 but really enjoying these discussions. Hearing other people’s views is really interesting and I am now going to be doing a lot of re-reading of my Jane Austen collection to read them in a different way. I am also liking the film adaptation reviews very much too. Very enjoyable, well done!

  • Balanced and knowledgeable and perfect!

    I’m so happy that these two women have produced this podcast. It strikes a perfect balance between academic literature analysis and fandom, with the hosts addressing broad and narrow issues with humor and personal touches. I feel like I know them already! Keep it coming, ladies! Can’t wait for your next episode.

  • Funny, smart and perceptive discussion.

    Really delightful to hear two people who obviously deeply enjoy each other’s company and Jane Austen’s books riffing off each other. Great insight and understanding of Jane Austen. Good balance of close attention to the books and light-hearted irreverence.
