  • Really wanted to like it

    I really wanted to like it. I wanted to be able to listen to this after my daughter and I read the books together but the amount of cuss words is excessive and the wine is constant mentioned. Not who I want my daughter listening too.

  • Love this podcast!

    Lifelong Austenite (and probably a bit older than the target demographic). So much fun listening to Molly & Becky dissect Austen content!

  • Excessively Diverting

    This is so fun. I enjoy Molly and her guesses about what’s gonna happen. Becca is great with her “I will neither confirm or deny”. I also love when they cover the adaptations and retellings and they have led me to some books, I might have otherwise not known about.

    Whilst I generally enjoy this podcast, I sometimes feel as though Becca patronises Mollie.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mansfield Park Volume 2 Chapters 1-2
Q: Were Maria's wishes of Henry Crawford proposing ever realistic?
It's debatable; while there were signs of attraction, Henry's character suggests he wasn't serious about his intentions with Maria, leaving her hopes misguided.
Mansfield Park Volume 2 Chapters 1-2
Q: What do you make of Sir Thomas' sudden change of heart regarding Fanny?
Sir Thomas's change of heart shows a newfound appreciation for Fanny, possibly due to his struggle overseas and a longing for familial connection, highlighting the complexity of their relationship shaped by class and imperialism.
Mansfield Park Chapters 8-10
Q: How do you think this will play out in the book, and how does Edmund compare to other clergymen in Jane Austen's novel?
Edmund is the first clergyman to be taken seriously as a love interest and his genuine beliefs contrast sharply with characters like Mr. Collins and Mr. Elton, who represent more comic or flawed versions of clergymen in Austen's work.
Anne of Avenue A with Audrey and Emily
Q: What are your thoughts on your character adaptations?
They discussed the difficulties in adapting certain characters like Anne, emphasizing the importance of modern communication to avoid miscommunication tropes.
Anne of Avenue A with Audrey and Emily
