April 27, 2022 Mansfield Park 31-35: "Who Authorized This?"
Welcome to another episode where we wish the theme were less relevant. This week, Lauren and Emily talk about authority with detours into performance, affection, and probably more violence than you'd expect from an Austen podcast.

March 16, 2022 Mansfield Park 16-20: "Positively Miserable"
It's hard to be positive when you're in the middle of a love triangle and the lord of the house comes home and ruins all the theatrical fun. Emily and Lauren try to talk positivity as we cover the mess that is the attempted staging of Lovers' Vows. Also included: what Sir Thomas was really up to in the West Indies, Euphoria, and plenty of pity parties.
