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.
