  • Audio issues

    Please either have these edited by an audio professional, use some editing software yourself or something. They sound okay when listening from phone speakers but in my car the audio is either too quiet or blasting my ear drums. Love the content though. I just can’t listen to them 🥲

  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mansfield Park Volume 3 Chapter 17
Q: Do you think Edmund truly loves Fanny and do you think he deserves her?
They agree Edmund may genuinely love Fanny, but does not deserve her. They criticize the lack of development in their love story and his failure to acknowledge that he spent much of the novel confiding in Fanny about his feelings for Mary.
Mansfield Park Volume 3 Chapter 17
Q: Is this a happy ending or a satisfying ending? What was Jane Austen trying to say with this ending?
The hosts call it broadly happy but unsatisfying, arguing that Fanny gains security and status without challenging the social system that constrained her. They consider the possibility that Austen intentionally made the resolution feel hollow.
Mansfield Park Volume 3 Chapter 10-11
Q: Why does Jane Austen have Henry Crawford visit Portsmouth other than for the drama?
Primarily to see Fanny and to test how she behaves in a setting away from Mansfield, while also showing readers that he can be humane and generous even in a less formal environment.
Mansfield Park Volume 3 Chapters 2-3
Q: What does Henry's conduct reveal about his character, and how does Fanny interpret his promises versus his actions?
Henry's conduct shows a pattern of performative charm and strategic persuasion intended to win, rather than a steady, genuinely grounded love; Fanny reads this as manipulation and tests his consistency, ultimately questioning whether his proclaimed constancy can survive real-life distance and refusal.
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.
