Bonnets At Dawn

We're back in the podcast hut with a Team Austen episode! This week, we interview the lovely Sophie Andrews. Sophie runs a Janeite blog called Laughing with Lizzie, and was recently featured in the BBC documentary - My Friend Jane.

IT'S OUR MOST ACTION-PACKED EPISODE EVER. We venture up to Haworth to visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum and read poetry on the moors. Along the way, we meet some chickens in a graveyard, stay in a haunted hostel, and nearly run into Gemma Arterton.

Special thanks to Amy Rowbottom, the curatorial assistant at the BPM, for a most delightful interview!

Lady Mary, Mistress of the Needle, Baroness of the Ravenswood, joins me for a quick and dirty episode about the formation of the B@D Crafting Society. Mary has graciously agreed to help us bring together all of our crafty listeners online, so they can share their literary-inspired creations AND provide sassy support.

Remember that time we went to Bath and posted all those pics on social media? Well, now you can hear what actually went down! We got mad at a flower sculpture, went to a Regency picnic, kissed Mr. Bennet and Hannah pitched a Jane Austen biopic.

Special thanks to Polly and Kristin from the Bath Preservation Trust. Check out their good work here: http://www.bath-preservation-trust.org.uk/

It's six in the morning, LET'S TALK VICTORIAN WOMEN WRITERS. Lauren interviews Carolyn Oulton from the International Centre for Victorian Women Writers to the show to discuss the history of the centre, Villette and teaching the Brontës.

But first, the girls discuss their evil plans for phase two of the podcast...

We've been plagued with technical difficulties, but we're BACK with an episode about he upcoming Pride & Prejudice adaptation and listener feedback! The fancasting is strong in this one.

Guys, we're truly sorry this episode is so long. We just have so many Jane Eyre feelings. We'll pull ourselves together next week, we promise.

Lauren takes some suspicious cough syrup and recaps Northanger Abbey.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Lauren and Hannah have feelings about the Bronte biopic To Walk Invisible. Actress/Artist Holly Gorne joins the girls to discuss her roles in Austen and Bronte productions, including her most recent as Anne Bronte. And the parsonage is most definitely haunted.

Dear listeners, we tried to make Austen-inspired desserts and failed miserably. Regardless, we hope you enjoy this discussion about the time we overstayed our welcome at an expensive afternoon tea AND our interview with the delightful Jo Turner of Josephine's Chocolates.
