Artwork for Manners & Madness: A Jane Austen & David Lynch Podcast

Latest Episodes

This week we have one more loose end to wrap up before we start Twin Peaks season 3 and we’re glad we didn’t miss it. In a show that is spoiled with great soundtracks this may be the best of the bunch.

Back during our watchalong of Hallmark’s Loveuary we missed one, this week we go back and fix that, with our commentary on Paging Mr. Darcy.

We’ve been watching, listening and reading a lot of fun things lately and so we wanted to share them on the podcast.

This week we are covering the Twin Peaks season 2 soundtrack. This soundtrack has so much to discuss, it’s ‘50s, synthy, bluesy, jazzy, symphonic, and so much more. We really enjoyed this one!

  • Warm and witty

    I discovered this podcast when the hosts appeared on Lost in the Movies. They made me realize that I wasn’t alone in my fervent love for both David Lynch and Jane Austen. Their dynamic is more Austenesque than Lynchian, but they clearly love both. A lot of fun to listen to.

  • What a great pod!

    I’m so happy I stumbled onto this podcast looking for something to support my Mansfield Park re-read. I listened to those episodes first and I was so impressed with the hosts’s smart and compassionate read (also felt vindicated in my love for Fanny Price). I’m listening to the beginning episodes now and if I’m sorry that I didn’t find this podcast sooner, I’m glad I have so many episodes to look forward to.

  • It’s tolerable. All they do is giggle and guffaw pointlessly. There is much of importance to be said and argued, but they just kept chuckling like a couple of nitwits.

  • Love this show.

    Love the show and love their dynamic. I was expecting it to start with one Austen fan and one Lynch fan but Maya was the fan of both and Christian was the newcomer to both. The show is a fun not too serious look at both subjects in depth but they down drown you with minutiae. My only complaint is the audio levels are not the most consistent but they have rereleased a few episodes with improved audio as they became more experienced. There are a lot of Twin Peaks podcasts and Jane Austen podcasts ... more
