  • Heartwarming and thoughtful

    I can honestly say that stumbling across this podcast a few months ago has been a real highlight of my summer. Listening to Ragon and Kelly reflect on one of my childhood heroes through grown-up eyes has not only reminded me of my own girlhood dreams and scrapes but also prompted me to reflect on what I can take from Anne in adulthood. Their thoughtful, positive and kind style is a joy and I am sure Anne herself would be filled with delight listening to their reflections on her life. Thank you l... more

  • Unique!

    Delightful and knowledgeable hosts: Love listening to you, kindred spirits, and appreciate how encouraging and articulate you are. LM Montgomery’s works have long been a salve and cordial to my soul, and are once again enlightening my life through my postpartum days. Humble request: please refrain from cussing, so that younger, wholesome friends can freely listen? Thank you for adding joy, beauty and charm to our world!

  • The podcast I have been searching for all my life!

    As a lifelong Anne obsessive based in the UK I have long yearned for people to connect with and get into the minutiae of all things Maud. Then I found the Kindred Spirits! So interesting and full of information, and (most appreciated) connections across Maud’s writing which has opened up even more of her work to me. Thank you so much for your brilliant work.
