Jane Austen created the definitive picture of Georgian England. No writer matches Austen's sensitive ear for the hypocrisy and irony lurking beneath the genteel conversation. That's the argument of the Janeites, but to the aficionados of Emily Brontë they are the misguided worshippers of a circumscribed mind. In Wuthering Heights, Brontë dispensed with Austen's niceties and the upper-middle class drawing rooms of Bath and the home counties. Her backdrop is the savage Yorkshire moors, her subject the all-consuming passions of the heart. To help you decide who should be crowned queen of English letters we have the lined up the best advocates to make the case for each writer. In this event, chaired by author and critic Erica Wagner, we invited guests including author Kate Mosse, Professor and author John Mullan, and actors Mariah Gale, Samuel West and Dominic West, to discuss each writer's influence.

On this Filmmaker Friday we are joined by the powerhouse creative team of Spooky Madison, Dusty Austen and Athan Murzda. We discuss how they've approached telling stories that represent their lives which have been too often missing in horror, how to reach high even as a low budget indie film, and the importance of finding amazing people to help you tell your stories. This conversation was such a blast and very insightful. Make sure you help support these filmmakers in all of their up coming endeavors, I know we will be.

What's up Bros? This season of Southern Charm has officially come to an end. In this episode, we get more clarity (kind of?) on JT and Venita and where things fell apart. It's still pretty confusing to be honest but nothing more confusing than Venita saying she still wants to be friends with AND DATE JT after all of that... Sally and Taylor hash things out over Gaston and their feud during the season, and its pretty clear that these two just don't vibe. Then it's time for Craig's turn in the hot seat. Andy covers it all, from the break up, to Austen, to the podcast and what's next for Craig. Austen defends his stance and Craig shows again that he isn't the best at taking criticism... despite criticizing Austen frequently. Will those two get back on track? What's next for the show? We shall see next season! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this episode, I'm joined by author Molly Williams and illustrator Jessica Roux, the brilliant minds behind Jane Austen's Garden: A Botanical Companion to Her Novels. Together, we explore the plants, flowers, and gardens that shaped Austen's world and how they feature in her beloved works.We delve into the influence of Capability Brown, the fascinating world of Floriography—the secret language of flowers—and how gardening in Austen's time was not just a pastime but a political rebellion against the French. From the grand estates of Pride and Prejudice to the wild, romantic landscapes of Sense and Sensibility, we uncover the deeper significance of nature in Austen's novels.Watch the video on YoutubeBooks & Oracle Deck Mentioned:

"I have made up my mind to like no novels really but Miss Edgeworth's, yours, and my own." —Jane Austen to her niece, Anna Lefroy, 1814Jane Austen's novels and letters are strewn with references to the female authors she admired—writers like Maria Edgeworth, Ann Radcliffe, and Charlotte Lennox. But these novelists, despite their wide popularity in their own time, have largely disappeared from our bookshelves. In this episode, rare book dealer Rebecca Romney shares some of their stories, examines their influence on Austen, and may even inspire you to add some of Austen's favorites to your own to-be-read list. Rebecca Romney is a rare book dealer and the cofounder of Type Punch Matrix, a Washington, DC-area rare book firm. Over the course of her career, she has sold Shakespeare folios, first editions of Newton's Principia Mathematica and Darwin's Origin of Species, and individual leaves from the Gutenberg Bible. The author of several books, her latest is Jane Austen's Bookshelf: A Rare Book Collector's Quest to Find the Women Writers Who Shaped a Legend. She is also the rare books specialist on the HISTORY Channel's show Pawn Stars.For a transcript and show notes, visit https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep21/.*********Visit our website: www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookSubscribe to the podcast on our YouTube channelEmail: podcast@jasna.org

In this episode, we're savoring the drama and intrigue of Emma, Volume Two, Chapters 9 through 18. The aftermath of the Cole's party has Emma rehashing every social triumph and misstep, from her jealousy over Jane Fairfax's piano skills to her playful gossip with Frank Churchill about the mysterious pianoforte. Meanwhile, Mrs. Elton makes her grand entrance into Highbury society, leaving Emma unimpressed but the rest of the town charmed. Between witty banter, romantic musings, and subtle moments of humor (looking at you, Mr. Knightley), these chapters are packed with Austen's signature blend of sharp social commentary and entertaining drama.

Medical education is known for its demanding structure, but the toll it takes on students and physicians is rarely addressed with the same intensity. Nearly 30% of medical students experience depression, and rates of suicidal ideation are alarmingly high—three times greater than their same-age peers. Residents and attending physicians face similar challenges, often without access to the care and support they need. Dr. Jenny Wei and third-year medical student Sanila Math join the conversation with Austen to explore the culture of rigidity in medicine—from its historical roots to its present-day consequences—across every stage of training. Together, they reflect on the weight of burnout and the importance of questioning systems that no longer serve doctors' well-being.

This week we are putting down the book to catch-up. We sort some characters, discuss why we all need some Lynch & Austen during these times, sort characters and create our dream adaptation.
What's up Bros? Southern Charm has come to an end and this season was... Meh. We've highlighted the flaws all season, a lot of it was production based, but hopefully they read the audience's notes and make some adjustments next season. In the finale, Venita and JT sit down to discuss the barber comments. Shep asks Molly to accompany him to the Summer Soiree. Austen and Craig appear to be in a better place, although according to recent interviews it doesn't last too long. Leva and Venita have a bone to pick with Ryan. We're confused. In our opinion it seems like the barber is the most at fault here for misrepresenting what JT had originally said. We get if you're mad at Ryan for perpetuating rumors, but it seemed to us that he was looking out for his friend in Venita. The episode ends with the same teaser trailer that we've seen all season about Paige and Craig's break up. Literally no different. The perfect underwhelming end to this underwhelming season.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Austen McDaniel, known on trail as PI. If that name sounds familiar, it's because we've been reading it off at the end of every episode for years, as Austen is one of our Chuck Norris Award-winning Patreon supporters. But in addition to being a longtime patron, Austen is also one hell of a backpacker, having completed the Triple Crown in three consecutive years. He approached his first thru-hike as prepared as anyone we've ever talked to, hitting the Appalachian Trail with a six-pound base weight after years of fine-tuning his setup on various shakedown hikes. He walks us through how he's managed to shave additional ounces and grams off his pack, shares some fun ultralight hacks, and offers tips for making cold soaking suck less. Of course, we also dive deep into his three thru-hikes. Beyond hiking, Austen gives us a glimpse into his life as a professional tennis instructor, if he's seducing moms at the country club, and how he managed to squeeze in some disc golf in various trail towns during his CDT trek. We wrap the show with news of an massive new FKT on New Zealand's Te Araroa, a breakdown of just how much Irish heritage runs through our DNA, including some truly deranged family tree math from Chaunce, the triple crown of food combinations, and possibly the greatest limerick in the history of the written language.

What's up Bros? Southern Charm is winding down and things are heating up. The cracks between Craig and Paige are becoming more and more evident as we reach the season finale next week. Taylor and Molly discuss Shep and Molly's interest in him. Taylor doesn't seem bothered by it at all and she has quietly worked her way back into the groups good graces. If only they highlighted that this season instead of the other BS we watched... Venita invites JT as her plus one to a soiree hosted by Madison and Dr Ryan. Craig, Austen and Paige hang out and what starts off as gentle razzing takes a turn and seems a little more personal between Paige and Craig. Even Austen begins to recognize it. Venita receives a phone call from Dr Ryan with some troubling accusations against JT discussing her coming on to him. Allegedly he said "some black girl" is coming onto him. Leva steps in and sits down with JT to discuss what was actually said. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this recap episode, we're discussing Volume One, Chapters 1-9 of Jane Austen's Emma. We take a deep dive into Emma Woodhouse's world, examining her relationships with key figures like Miss Taylor, Mr. Woodhouse, and the insightful Mr. Knightley. We explore how Emma's interactions with these characters set the stage for her matchmaking adventures. As we continue through the chapters, we meet the wider community of Highbury, including the mysterious Frank Churchill and the charming Harriet Smith. Emma's matchmaking ambitions quickly take center stage, leading her to meddle in Harriet's love life and sparking a significant conflict with Mr. Knightley. We analyze Austen's use of narrative techniques, and discuss the importance of riddles and social expectations in the novel. In a special bonus segment, we preview our upcoming Footnotes episode, where we compare and analyze the opening lines from all six of Austen's most famous novels. If you're interested in more literary analysis and Austen insights, be sure to check out the full episode and head to patreon.com/novelpairings for exclusive content!
