  • Delightful

    What a delightful and fortuitous find this podcast is! The hosts are worthy of their subject: thoughtful, eloquent, witty, knowledgeable, engaging and thoroughly pleasant. Whether discussing text, context or adaptations they bring insights that enrich my experience of Austen and her contemporary novelists. It is not necessary to be a religious Austenite to be charmed.
