Clio and Mireille take on a classic romantic pairing in the first of two episodes about fan fiction of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Is Clio proud? Is Mr Darcy boring? Is Mrs Bennet much maligned? Listen to find out, then write in to complain.

The fan fictions discussed are Fear and Fairy Tales by Drag0nst0rm, Thorough-bass and human nature by MildredMost, and In (not so silent) indignation by Rusakko.

The podcast has a Twitter! And you can get in touch with questions, comments, or just to say hi at [email protected].

Or, if you prefer to play favorites, Mireille can be found on Twitter (https://twitter.com/pardon_mi) and TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@pardon_mi). Clio's other podcast, Studies in Taylor Swift,  can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

Clio/Mireille is produced by Clio Doyle and Mireille Pardon. Editing is by Clio Doyle. Cover art is by Mireille Pardon. Music is by Lesfm and SergeQuadrado.
