- One of the best
A must listen for people who enjoy academic exploration of literature and pop culture. Hosts are charming relatable and brilliant. I often find myself reflecting back on something I heard in an episode and realizing it changed my perspective. Give any season a try! Particularly the last three are amazing.

I am so glad that I found this podcast, I could not get enough of On Eyre, then Live from Pemberley and the entire back catalogue. It's a treat to deep dive into these romance novels and now analyse romance films with Vanessa and Hannah. Love love love the podcast. Thank you!

I’ve been listening for a while, but today’s episode of the ending of Mamma Mia had me smiling from beginning to end. The show and it’s hosts, are full of joy for the material they cover. They are knowledgeable, and I love listening to the show!

Gosh, I just love this show. Pop culture through an analytical/academic lens is probably my favorite genre. If you’ve read Susan Sontag and you delight in teen movies made from classics or Meryl Streep in Mama Mia, you will feel like you’re in good conversation with friends while listening.
