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"
