Exactly What I Was Looking For!
This show is everything I hoped it would be when I read the description! In-depth information in bite-sized pieces that enrich the reading of Jane Austen’s novels. I love the hosts - they are smart, fun, and easy to listen to. They site their sources (and expand my TBR pile considerably) and they bring on really interesting guests (which has also expanded my TBR list, as well as my Instagram feed). I cannot recommend this podcast enough to fans of Jane Austen and her works. Every episode is interesting - how they did that with an episode about entails and inheritance laws is pure magic. My only complaint is that I’m almost caught up on the backlog of episodes and I’ll have to wait for new ones to drop. Thank you for creating this podcast for JA nerds like me!!

I absolutely love how this podcast takes a deep dive into the objects and the culture of Jane Austen’s time. Who knew that the...Read full review »
