  • Effortlessly listenable

    You could rant on about your favourite interior paint finish and it would be a good listen. Amazing.

    …I’d also know more about paint. Thank you lovely people.

  • Thank you

    Thank you for making this podcast. Thank you for reminding me of the love I had for Jane Austen a million years ago as a teenager, before life, circumstances and some bad choices led me in a completely different direction to where a 15 year old Emma fan thought it would. Thank you for the reminder to re read the books. I feel, at the age of 50, that I am finally coming home to myself because of this.

    I have been an Austen fan for longer than I care to disclose and was eager to listen. I really enjoy the discussion each episode but the relationship between David and Lisa even more so. I could listen to them talk about anything!
