“This frequently funny and trenchant conversation will probably interest only the most ardent Austen philes, with lots of great little diversions and observations that’ll delight fans of the BBC series. But it probably could have been shortened by an hour at least without sacrificing any actual content if it had a modicum of editing, including, like, um, like, you know, um, like, whatever, like if someone, like, doesn’t hear a question and then someone just like repeats it, you know? If you really do enjoy the substance of the conversation, which is often worthy, do yourself a favor when Natalie begins to talk and hit that 30 second jump button once or twice. By then, she might be finished rephrasing whatever a cohost just said, and have gotten like, um, like, you know whatever, like kind of 18 or 20 verbal pauses and repetitions out of the way, and actually be making her point. Best of luck! This’ll continue to be my strategy if I come back for any more episodes.”
