Time for some hot and SPICY Austen takes fresh from friend of the podcast Lexi, also known as @fourwhitetrees on X (Twitter), Bluesky, and other social networks! Lexi's funky fresh and sometimes controversial takes cover the mysterious appeal of John Thorpe, Mr. Knightley's questionable tastes, the unworthiness of Wentworth as a partner for Anne, whether Darcy is really the most obviously autistic character in Austen, and much more... like, is Northanger Abbey REALLY satire, or just a modern gothic? Our wide-ranging discussion is fun and surprising - check it out! [WARNING: this episode is DEFINITELY not for little ears! Explicit content included, most of it around or after the 1 hr mark].
