October 30, 2024 Lesley Castle: "With Friends like These..."

August 28, 2024 Jack & Alice: "Heartbreak is One Thing..."
Our next entry into Austen’s Juvenilia takes us a few years down the road into her teenagehood with “Jack and Alice,” a wild tale of neighborly debauchery, light stalking, and eventual murder (many such cases). We’ll also be talking colonialism and drag, because we have a brand and we intend to stick to it.
We are still wrestling with some technical issues during the transition to remote recording—please bear with us as we work to achieve the best audio quality possible with the available resources.

August 14, 2024 Frederic & Elfrida: "Still a Better Love Story than Twilight"
Content warning: Discussion of suicide from 28:53 to 33:27.
We're entering unexplored territory for both hosts as Lauren and Emily launch into Jane Austen's Juvenilia with "Frederic and Elfrida," written 1787. There's petty drama! There's attempted murder! There's a surprising amount of parallel to 2000s satire!
