Enjoyable podcast

I really enjoy how much the hosts love their subject and learning from guests. Even though I know a lot about what they discuss, it still feels fresh and engaging.

All the nerdy details!

I love to learn weird and wonderfully nerdy things about Jane Austens books and world. I also love to dump them on my wife whenever we watch the series and movies based on her works. Thanks for all the fun!
