“Such a great podcast showcasing so many wonderful writers that have been unfairly lost in time. Only downside is that the to-be-read pile keeps getting bigger and bigger.”

“Lost Ladies of Lit brings attention to unjustly neglected woman authors and their respective works… and it does so in a most informative and entertaining way! Hosts Amy Helmes and Kim Askew are as knowledgable as they are witty. Their shared passion for exploring these “lost ladies” is...”Read full review »

“This podcast is a gem! These women have literally found buried treasure: female authors, novels and stories that have been lost to the world and needed two spunky, curious females to help bring them back! Having been an English major in college, I thought I had a handle on what the writing...”Read full review »

“I am not a fan of the zippy music at the beginning and end, but in between is a lively discussion of the book, the author, and the historical relevance of both. There is something very touching about these ”lost ladies” being found and given their due.”

“This sounded like a podcast that would be right up my alley, because the kinds of books they discuss are the kinds of books I tend to like, but after listening to a couple of episodes, I had to unsubscribe because the tone of the discussion is just too inane. Maybe it’s an age thing (I’m 70), but...”Read full review »
