- Fun for anyone who likes Jane Austin
This is just a really fun podcast if you like Jane Austin. If you started reading Austen as a teen, you would have wanted to have these two friends to share her with. They do a lot of laughing and isn’t Austen incredible but they also look up everything you’ve ever wished to have explained and then some. They even tell you what was behind the black curtain in Northanger Abbey that Catherine was reading about. They bring in fellow Austen enthusiasts and even some scholars. If you like the topic, ... more

I recently discovered this podcast, and I’m so glad I did! When I listen, I am magically transported to the company of Austen nerds like me. Each episode is interesting, quirky, and often laugh-out-loud funny. I listen whenever I want to feel joyful and refreshed.

I cannot recommend this podcast enough to fans of Jane Austen and her works. Every episode is inte... more

Of course, the Knightly brothers conspired to bring Harriet Smith and Robert Martin together! I love this idea, and it had occurred to me before. Especially, when you consider that Mr. Knightley had previously queried Harriet Smith about her relationship status. At that point, he was asking on behalf of Robert Martin, and of course Harriet misunderstood thinking he was asking for himself. Love you ladies!
