Although it no longer exists, Steventon Rectory was the birthplace of Jane Austen and where she lived for the first 25 years of her life.

Episode content warning: discussion of adultery and partner violence

We're deep in the nerdery weeds this week as we unpack the beginning of Persuasion and discuss Sir Walter's obsession with status and prestige and how that manifests in his love for his favorite book. If you've ever trawled LinkedIn looking for potential dates, this episode is for you.

Trigger warning for this episode: Discussion of child loss around 11:30 in the context of inheritance and heirs, lasting for approximately two minutes.

While the word "spinster" never comes up in Austen's novels, the role of spinster or "old maid" is a frequent occurrence. This episode we're having a bit of etymological fun with the word spinster, in addition to digging into just why a woman might choose marrying Collins over remaining blissfully single.

If you have ever been the lone singleton at the annual turkey curry buffet, this episode is for you.

(Spinster does come up in the hilarious authorial demand prefacing Lesley Castle, but that's a story best saved for another episode.)

Trigger warning for this episode: Brief mention of sexual assault around 13:50

This week we come to you live from Caroline Bingley's Pen Mending Emporium, where all your pens will be mended with utmost care and attention to detail. At least if your name is Fitzwilliam Darcy, that is. If you ever attempted to flirt over office supplies, this episode is for you.

And for the extra observant listener — we had a bit of a technical difficulty, so The Thing About Rushworth's Divorce had to be postponed. Coming soon!

This week we're all about the mysterious (or are they stupid?) pamphlets that General Tilney reads late at night.

If you ever accidentally thought your boyfriend's dad was a murderer, this episode is for you.
