Our second episode of season 2 see the return of a very special guest to discuss 2011’s ‘Jane Eyre’, Charlotte Brontë’s timeless proto-feminist classic about two people who desperately want to get off with each other. We have a frank discussion about sex, celibacy and what it means to be equally yoked. It’s worth noting that some of the topics in this episode are a bit more ‘earthy’ than many of our topics. So those of a sensitive disposition, may want to skip this one!

Note: we recorded this several months ago, prior to Eliot Paige coming out as trans, so as a result, is referred to as 'Ellen Paige' throughout the episode, and it was too tricky to re-record. We’ve got mad love for Eliot, and we don’t want to upset anyone. Also, apologies if our sound quality isn’t as great as usual!
