Co-founder of Not Sorry, Ariana Nedelman, has a new podcast project out today!

When We All Get to Heaven is a 10-episode series that tells the story of one of the first gay-positive churches, the Metropolitan Community Church of San Francisco, and how it faced the personal, social, and political trials of the AIDS epidemic, including the deaths of hundreds of its members.

The series is releasing over on Slate's Outward podcast and the second episode is already out.

Before we dive into our Wedding Industrial Complex mini-series, we're spending some time with the woman who popularized the marriage plot – Jane Austen. In honor of Austen's 250th birthday, we're dropping a joint episode with our friends at Pod and Prejudice all about Becoming Jane.

Vanessa, Molly, and Becca blend formats to bring you the ultimate movie deep-dive. What does this movie believe about love? What was the best line? Why did they insist on getting the facts of Austen's life SO WRONG?

We finish the episode by calling Julia Argy to talk about our upcoming Jane Austen class, which launches tomorrow at notsorryworks.com.
