I’ve been listening to the show for a few years, and I really appreciate that the guests are scholars who are experts in writer recovery. I can listen to the discussion for my own interest and feel comfortable bringing the information into my college classroom. I also think that Amy and Kim are fantastic hosts. I really enjoy this podcast!

I discovered the podcast a few months ago. Now it is a definite favorite. I check for a new episode every time I open my podcast manager. My TBR list has grown considerably as a result!

My new fave pod! It’s smart, light, interesting and a perspective I haven’t heard or seen elsewhere. Def worth the time & a listen.

Also a great resource when you’re trying to find new books to suggest for book club.

This podcast covers a wide range of authors (across time, geographic location, themes) who all have key things in common: their writing is great, their lives are fascinating, and they deserve more readers. The hosts’ approach blends enthusiasm, thoughtful questions, and playful curiosity that fosters really engaging, accessible, and deep conversations with their guests.

Lost Ladies of Lit is a remarkable treasure for anyone who appreciates literature, art, and untold stories of women writers! From the moment you press play, Kim and Amy take you on an immersive, thorough journey into the lives and works of these authors who have been neglected by history.

I’m just listening for the first time and I’m enjoying so much everything about this podcast. Just heard Ursula Parrott story and I ordered Ex-Wife and the biography too. I’m in Montana and will be sharing newly found and now adored podcast. Thank you too for your interest and intelligent conversations about literature by female authors.

A bite-sized dollop of treasures I look forward to every week, Lost Ladies of Lit is my second favorite pastime next to reading, and the only podcast I listen to … and wait anxiously for … each week. Equal parts peeks into the writers’ lives (just the good bits) and their best books, with cool insights from uber-passionate academics sprinkled throughout, LLL is a must-hear for anyone who loves literature and juicy details about great authors and books of decades past. The novelty that the focus is on women authors—and that there are so many besides Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters—is only made better by two hosts who are non-snobby hoots geeking out on books and writers as much as your best wine-swilling book club pal might. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic podcast discovery!!!

I absolutely love this podcast! Although I have been reading and teaching women’s literature for years, I learn something new with each episode. There are so many women writers out there, in the libraries and archives, worthy of attention. Kim and Amy bring them to life through their engaging interviews with other experts.
