    Netflix Persuasion, 2022

    Well, we finally got around to recording our impressions of the Netflix version of Jane Austen's Persuasion. Feeling stunned and awkward about meeting up in person in a public place, we quickly got bored talking about the show and started looking at Regency fashion. So, enjoy! Or use this to fall asleep to. Either way.

    In this special episode, we discuss the new novel, The Jane Austen Society, by Natalie Jenner. Because of physical distancing, we conducted this as a call from different locations. Although the audio quality leaves much to be desired, we hope you enjoy it!
