I’ve been listening to the show for a few years, and I really appreciate that the guests are scholars who are experts in writer recovery. I can listen to the discussion for my own interest and feel comfortable bringing the information into my college classroom. I also think that Amy and Kim are fantastic hosts. I really enjoy this podcast!
I discovered the podcast a few months ago. Now it is a definite favorite. I check for a new episode every time I open my podcast manager. My TBR list has grown considerably as a result!
I’ve been a bookseller for years, and owned a bookshop in Paris. With each episode of Lost Ladies I learn something new and fascinating. Their guests are always top notch. Thanks to them, my book knowledge and my collection are expanding.
My new fave pod! It’s smart, light, interesting and a perspective I haven’t heard or seen elsewhere. Def worth the time & a listen.

A lively literary podcast focused on uncovering forgotten women writers and their works, often pairing scholarly guests with two hosts who share a warm, curious dynamic. Episodes mix biographical deep-dives, historical context, and fresh readings of both well-known and obscure titles, with frequent conversations about publishing, reception histories, and archives. Notable strengths include rigorous research, a welcoming conversational style, and a consistent emphasis on underrepresented women in literature, which makes it a valuable listen for academics, booksellers, and devoted readers alike.
