With the release of the first half of the fourth season of Netflix's blockbuster period drama Bridgerton, we dive deep into the series with historian and pop culture expert Julie Taddeo. 

We discuss if Bridgerton is historically accurate, whether that even matters, and our favorite parts of this season so far. 

If you want to hear more of Julie's great analysis, she co-hosts the podcast "Period Drama Debrief" with Dr. Kate Byrne which focusses on British period dramas. You can also find more of her work at her website. 

In honor of Jane Austen's 250th Birthday, two experts Devoney Looser and George Justice (who are also a couple) come on to talk about all things Pride and Prejudice. We chat about how Austen helped bring our two guests together, their favorite Darcys, the pros and cons of series adaptations and much much more.
