  • By far the best Austen podcast.

    I’m a long time Austen fan and read them every year. This said these wonderful podcasters still open my eyes to different elements and character interactions. Their insight is excellent and is presented with humour and enthusiasm. I love their historic and modern connections. I read along with them and they have deepened my enthusiasm for these works of art. I’m so sad I didn’t find them earlier. I will definitely go back and listen once Northanger Abbey is complete. I highly recommend this podc... more

  • Love this show.

    I’m a fan of the books and I love the hosts together, how comfortable & joking they are, but also very serious w/ history, analysis etc. Feels like being part of a really, really good JA book club. Working my way through all the episodes & finding it very comforting listening

  • Sigh

    I do appreciate this podcast. But too white? Really? Shame on the writer of this description. Like it’s Jane Austen’s fault for being “white”. Absolutely trashy and ridiculous.

  • Cringey “woke” rhetoric

    I listen to several Jane Austen podcasts and most of them have a more modern and often feminist take on Austen…. But this one takes the cake. A lot of their assertions seem like a reach and it’s trying very hard to be woke.
