Look. Fanny Price is rarely mentioned in the top-5 Austen heroines (a feat, seeing as Jane Austen only completed 6 novels) but in this ep we try to give her her due. Witness Hannah & Suzanne as they work hard not to scream "EDMUND BERTRAM CAN GET BENT" every 2-5 minutes.  Check out the other books we've covered in the "Most Austentatious" series: Pride and Prejudice || Emma || Northanger Abbey || Persuasion   Over These Walls by Hope and Social is licensed under a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.

Hannah believes that "Persuasion" is the finest of Jane Austen's work. Can Suzanne be ... persuaded ... to also endorse that point of view? They discuss four major successful and attempted persuasions throughout the book and what Jane might be suggesting about the purpose and nature of influence. They also somehow manage to go almost the entire episode before discussing perhaps the most romantic declaration of love in any Austen novel.  Love the pod?

An episode marked by three things: 1) utter chaos, 2) our fascination with the flirtiest Austen hero in existence, and 3) more chaos. This is what happens when we go into a podcast sans detailed outline.   In today's pod, we look at Austen's first written novel (though not her first novel to be published) and discuss the cinematic elements of the book that lend itself well to, what we would consider to be, a delightful film adaptation. Which character(s) do Hannah and Suzanne think kind of sucks? Is Suzanne casting aside Colonel Fitzwilliam for Henry Tilney? And what book has Hannah added to her reading list?   Follow us on Instagram for memes, sneak peeks, and behind the scenes snaps.   Over These Walls by Hope and Social is licensed under a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.

In the second episode of Most Austentatious!, Hannah & Suzanne dive into the novel which is arguably Jane Austen's most sophisticated and features her most complicated heroine: Emma. Is Suzanne a giant Austen hipster? What is a Frank Churchill and why can Hannah & Suzanne take or leave him? Perhaps most importantly, what is the deal with gruel?   Also, did y'all know the 2020 Emma has BUTTS in it?! BUTTS! They answer these questions and more as they discuss their 3-ish things: three of Emma's most significant relationships and what those relationships tell us about Emma.  Over These Walls by Hope and Social is licensed under a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.

Cassie, Beth and somewhat Chase discuss the literary classic Sense and Sensibility.

The writer and psychoanalyst Adam Phillips is the author of 'On Kindness', and 'On Kissing, Tickling and Being Bored' amongst other works of non-fiction. He is also a regular contributor to the London Review of Books. Adam invited The Verb into his west-London consulting room to discuss the rules and significance of Freud's concept of 'free association', the importance of inconclusive conclusions and what he sees as the lopsided relationship between poetry and psychoanalysis - something he explores in his new book 'In Writing: Essays on Literature' (Hamish Hamilton). AL Kennedy is a writer and stand-up comedian - for The Verb she explores the importance of 'no' in conversation and in writing, the illusion of spontaneity in comedy and the reasons why Meg, one of the characters in her latest novel 'Serious Sweet' (Vintage), is sceptical of 'talking cures'. AL Kennedy won the Costa Book of the Year award in 2007 for 'Day'. Rachel Parris and Amy Cooke-Hodgson are part of 'Austentatious', the cult Edinburgh fringe performance group. Austentatious improvise plays in the style of Jane Austen using only audience suggestions.

RHLSTP #153: Rachel Parris - Oh Jesus I have Promised. Rich is confused and amazed by horses and apparently alone in being troubled by the lyrics to the new Stereophonics song, but he has a more skilled musician, improviser and ex-Christian rocker on hand to dig him out of his exhausted new-parent hole, it's Rachel Parris. They chat about obscure advertising jingles, how to improvise entire Jane Austen stories, the excitement of sitting on a 'celebrity's' toilet, usurping elderly organists, emailing the Samaritans, who's who (or anyone) in Game Of Thrones, poo wrangling and funky hymns.

A slightly intoxicated Sammi and Beau are joined by returning guest Karolinn and first-time guest Brian to discuss the 2015 Straight outta Salt Lake City series Austentatious, which asks "what would happen if the Dashwood sisters, Emma Woodhouse, and Elizabeth Bennet were all single career gals who lived on a series of sound stages? There is little here to recommend the series, from creepy, miscast, and poorly adapted characters to cheap sets and some rampant misogyny. If you were considering watching this, our advice would be "don't."  Warning to listeners, this might be our most profanity-riddled episode yet. 

Join three of the ladies of Austentatious - Amy Cooke-Hodgeson, Charlotte Gittins and Rachel Parris - as we talk about everything improv! From kissing rehearsals to performing in full regency gowns it's everything you wanted to know about the award-winning, Edinburgh Fringe sell-out troupe (plus a little bit more!)

Comedian, singer, musician and key member of improvisational powerhouse "Austentatious", Rachel Parris revels in undercutting her nice girl image with some tough material. We talk about how audiences listen differently to talking and singing; how to survive the sinking feeling of a tough festival; and her experience spinning a chat with the Samaritans into comedy gold...Get ad-free new episodes, bonus content from interviews and much more by joining the Insiders Club at www.comedianscomedian.com/insidersGet tickets for Stu Goldsmith's stand-up tour at www.comedianscomedian.com/tour You can email Samaritans at any time – jo@samaritans.orgWhatever you're going through, call Samaritans free any time, from any phone in the UK on 116 123.Samaritans are all volunteers, all there round the clock, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

"The heroine of many a modern novel writhes and reels her way through the story, chews and flings away fifty half-smoked cigarettes...goading every mood to the verge of madness...dashing to the druggist and then collapsing on the doorstep of the psycho-analyst; and all the time congratulating herself on her rational superiority to the weak sensibility of Jane Austen."~G.K. ChestertonHonor and sacrifice, wisdom and emotion, modernity and gender roles in Sense and Sensibility, a 90's adaptation of Jane Austen's novel, featuring a sparkling cast which includes Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, and Kate Winslet. Also: dating advice from Jane Austen - and a Christian approach to emotion and reason.

RHLSTP #99: Cariad Lloyd - I Fucked Jane Austen's Corpse. Richard is exhausted again because of his stupid, idiot daughter, but at least she's given him the excuse to finally get to have a go at soft play. He's got 99 problems, but his 99th guest isn't one, it's the multi-talented actor and improviser, Cariad Lloyd. There's another dissection of the short film Hallo Panda which Richard once again promises to watch, even though he clearly won't, plus find out what it's like to be a fan working on Peep Show, the abrasive character of genius improviser Ken Campbell, how George Osborne comes to Fringe shows in the hope of getting pencils, how Cariad very nearly destroyed the marriage of David Bowie, and what connects Taylor Swift and the tax on tampons. Plus there's some more serious chat about whether the BBC can survive (don't worry, they're not watching) and some less serious chat about how much it would cost to employ a successful comedy actor as a Christmas elf (as well as the danger of working with Santas who've been in James Bond films).
