This week we're joined by comedian, PhD student and part of the 2020 Talent Factory cohort, Zoë McGee. Zoë talks us through the different and baffling critical takes on Jane Austen. Meanwhile podcast host, Shirley Halse, explains five memorable reads from this weird year.

You can follow Zoë on Twitter @theZHM and keep an eye out for her podcast: Live, Laugh, Lovecraft.
