I listened to the end while cheering for and loathing completely the characters of Sandition. Watching and listening made we feel like I was enjoying the show with friends. Can’t wait to see what you bring to the next episodes.

Love love love this podcast! I have been rereading Austen’s works and listening to episodes as I go. It has brought new depth to my love of her work. Thank you Emily and Lauren!
Apple Podcasts5julieackUnited States10 months ago - 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

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

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.
