Amanda joins us to discuss the 2020 adaptation of Emma. Excellent casting all around and we reiterate our desire for Miranda Hart to do a one woman show of every Austen.

Rachel tries to argue that Clueless isn't the best adaptation of Emma and fails to convince herself. With special guest Amanda.

Join us to discuss a few Taylor Swift songs and how they related to Emma.As I love to do at the end of each season I bring my two special interests together and make Rachel join me.

Dr Alice Nagle of Austen After Dark and Fetch the Smelling Salts joins me to discuss what's going on behind closed bedroom door...

Austen ties up all the loose ends neatly

Harriet is engaged, Mr Woodhouse is a proud Grandpa. We discuss who we'd rather date - Knightley or Frank.Plus there's a new t-shirt!

Mrs Weston has her baby and Mr Woodhouse is babied

Mrs Elton is eager to spill the tea and show her superiority

Mr Knightley gives more advice on being a good man as he reads Franks letter

Emma reads Frank’s letter to Mrs WestonRachel forgets that I already made the requested “Mrs Elton Sucks” t-shirt (you can get one here)

Mr Knightley returns and confesses all! Rachel hijacks the podcast greetings and tells us about Pirates of the Caribbean 3

There is a lot of awkward going around and we consider different partnerships than Austen did

Emma discovers that Harriet is into Mr Knightley just as she discovers that she, herself, is too!

Frank and Jane are engaged! But we're not sure if he really deserves her

The Great Mrs Churchill is Dead. Does Miss Bates know about Jane and Frank?

Emma flakes on apologising to Miss Bates

It’s here, possibly the worst (ie most uncomfortable) chapter Austen ever wrote; Boxhill

There is drama in the strawberry fields of Donwell

Mr Knightley is suspicious but Rachel suspects Miss Bates could keep a secret

Harriet discards her obsession with Mr Elton and declares she will never marry her new love

Frank is a hero, Harriet is a damsel in distress and everyone is using racial slursThe quote from Persuasion was “this pathetic piece of family history”

We discuss the dedication of Emma to the Prince Regent and propose that Miranda Hart does a one woman adaptation of Austen which some how segues into the muppets - oh and it's the ball.

Is Emma vain or does her behaviour make sense based on Frank's behaviour?
