Lauren and Hannah recap the first ten chapters of their new favorite book - North and South. They also discuss ferns! Listener comments! And the life of Elizabeth Gaskell.

Forgive the lateness and the poor audio! Zencastr chewed this episode up and spit it back out in one million little pieces.

We asked, and you delivered your best true ghost stories! Warning, this episode contains very little Austen or Brontë talk. Special thanks to @CreepyCo, @Maggie_Rachael, @DrunkAusten and Jude Law's private driver.

Zencastr ate our lovely episode! So now, you get this late-night ramble about the Jane Austen exhibit at the Bodleian library, Charlotte Brontë and AMBITION, and Villette. Later, we interview Brontë experts Sophie Franklin and Dr. Claire O' Callaghan, about their conference - The Coarseness of Brontës: A Reappraisal.

Welcome to episode 21, where we have awkwardly edited out our Scarlet Pimpernel rant to keep focus on the Brontës! Hannah reveals Charlotte's true height and tiny book conspiracies are born. PLUS we talk to the lovely Selene and Serena from The Sisters' Room blog - which is an Italian/English site dedicated to the Brontë sisters.

We're interrupting your regularly scheduled B@D episode with this hot take on the new Jane Eyre graphic novel. It's Team Brontë x2, as I'm joined by Caitlin Rosberg, comic critic for Paste Magazine and the AV Club, Editor for Ladies' Night Anthology and lover of Jane Eyre. We discuss the comic-making process, the LNA Kickstarter and compare and contrast this graphic novel with the original.
