I loved this podcast, fantastic production and conversation throughout.
An enjoyable (and critical) examination of Jane, her world and her work. A good starting point for any young scholar (or old admirer like me) of her work and life. More like this, please!
I loved this series! It made me miss being in my English literature classes in high school and having such rich conversations. As an Austen lover I enjoyed getting to know more about her and her process. Highly recommend!
But the background yelling in episode 2 is incredibly irritating. Seems that this level of podcast should understand where and how to record.
I am excited by the concept and can’t wait to see what you do.
