Customer Reviews
Mostly Great
I enjoy this podcast and have no trouble recommending it to friends. My biggest pet peeve (in fairness this is an issue I have with other podcasts) is that the hosts sometimes forget how amplified their voices are. There’s too much cackling and going off topic on some episodes, and unfortunately I end up skipping those episodes altogether. They also cut each other off all the time. Worth a listen, but needs some tweaks.

Enjoy your enthusiasm for the shows you review.
(Please try to break the overuse of the filler word basically).
Did you watch the show?
Ladies, I’m not sure what show you guys were watching. There were things to criticize, you didn’t mention any of those things. Did you see the last episode? Clara did the things you said you wished she had done. No, the sugar boycott wasn’t mentioned in just one episode. Georgiana literally mentions it every episode. You claim you needed to see Charlotte deal with her emotions about Sidney, while Charlotte deals with her emotions about Sidney. By deciding to turn away from marriage, understanding her decision means she must support herself. She then finds employment, knowing this gives her a new status in society. These may not be the best ways for her to deal with her grief but here we are. Random Ralph is not random. We see him in the first episode and he is mentioned a few more times throughout the season. Her father WANTS her to marry. Soon. She is the oldest at 23. She came home from Sanditon, again, not engaged. Her plan to support herself didn’t work. So, she accepted Ralph’s proposal. We absolutely saw Charlotte grow and learn after closing herself off. Her relationship with the girls and Colbourne were a huge part of her growth. They are just in the beginning of their relationship. Also, big PS to you guys. Georgiana is a woman of color or a black woman. Do not use the phrase “colored women”.
