This podcast has only one shortcoming- there aren’t 365 episodes yet and that means I can’t listen to it every day of the year. Every episode is the most wonderful little vignette- informative yet engaging, and usually hilarious! Each installation adds more context to Jane Austen’s works, brightening the wit and social commentary already present for those who have the eyes to see it. Listening in is like getting brought into an amazing inside joke.
