If you’ve ever felt like you’re not “allowed” to like Jane Austen – whether because her work is too white, too academic, or too straight – we’ve been there. And this podcast is for you.
Each episode, we use a different theme to guide our reading through the Austen canon to give you the historical context of each work, draw connections to pop culture, and discover new ways of interpreting old texts.
There’s something in Jane Austen’s novels for everyone. Whether you’re a long-time Austen devotee or have never read a word of her writing, we hope you'll join us in Reclaiming Jane.

Northanger Abbey 22-24: "...Or Hardly Working"

Customer Reviews
Love this show.
I’m a fan of the books and I love the hosts together, how comfortable & joking they are, but also very serious w/ history, analysis etc. Feels like being part of a really, really good JA book club. Working my way through all the episodes & finding it very comforting listening
Great debut!
As a Jane Austen fan, I always love a good conversation about her works and so far, this podcast is providing that in abundance. Smart,funny and pop culture friendly,plan to tune in for more!
Sigh
I do appreciate this podcast. But too white? Really? Shame on the writer of this description. Like it’s Jane Austen’s fault for being “white”. Absolutely trashy and ridiculous.
