So happy they’re back!
I was worried they were gone for good. Now two new episodes. Thank you guys.
Brilliant!
Perfect set up and delivery!
Great format, would like more commentary
I just finished House of Mirth and wanted to learn more about its historical context and hear some literary analysis. Thought I’d look for a podcast so I could listen while getting things done around the house. This podcast was great. Enjoyed the format of three people talking followed by the conversation with the researcher. I was hoping for a little more context, but this episode was useful for reinforcing the key points in the book and giving me some understanding of the historical aspects of the book. Thanks!
