Does Jane Austen's Persuasion work better on the page than on the screen? This is just one of the questions Stephanie and returning guest, Brian Hicks, discuss in today's episode. Before exploring Netflix's 2022 film, they will talk about their shared love of the novel, and experience with other Persuasion adaptations. Among Jane Austen fans, this film is not celebrated. Find out why in today's episode.
Beware of spoilers and cats :)
For more with Brian, scroll back to the Emma 2020 episode from earlier this season. (Episode 7).

Welcome back to the podcast Drea Mayer in today's conversation about the Hulu TV show "The Artful Dodger," which just announced a second season is coming and will start filming in Australia in 2025! (If only Stephanie and Drea knew about that before this episode was filmed; spoiler alert, they're excited!)
"The Artful Dodger" takes place about 15 years after Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist (but you don't need to know the novel to appreciate this show). It follows Jack Dawkins aka the Artful Dodger (played by Thomas Brodie Sangster) in the 1850s in Australia as he works as a surgeon. He is reunited with Fagan (David Thewlis) who shows up as a prisoner while also navigating a relationship with Lady Belle (Maia Mitchell), the mayor's daughter who wants a career in medicine. Between gore, humor, and romance, this show seems to have it all! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good time.
For more with Drea, listen back to our "All Creatures Great & Small" episode from earlier this year (Episode 9).
Thank you for your patience during the Zoom Glitches :)

Buckle up for an emotional one as Stephanie and returning guest Dahlia Hamza Constantine discuss the second Virtual Book Club pick: Lovely War by Julie Berry.
Lovely War takes place between World Wars I & II as Greek Goddess Aphrodite tells a story to her fellow gods about two couples during WWI. This novel was a rollercoaster of emotions. Whether you read (or listened) to Lovely War or not, be prepared for spoilers as well as a discussion on WWI and historical pieces set during the Great War. It's bound to be an interesting listen no matter if you read the book or not.
As the material is heavy, be sure to take care of yourself :)
Thank you to Dahlia for sharing so much of your personal story.
Thank you to everyone who sent in their thoughts (via Instagram or by sending an email).
And thank you to Julie Berry for writing this novel.
Highly recommend listening to the audiobook as it has a full cast and is fantastic.

Join Stephanie and her guest Emily Heyden discuss the PBS Masterpiece series Downton Abbey with a look back on the show (that ran from 2010-2016) before discussing the recent news of the latest/third movie currently in the works. [Buckle up for spoilers!]
Downton Abbey is the home to the Crawley family as well as the staff who serves them (very much an upstairs/downstairs story). The show starts in 1912 with the sinking of the Titanic and the death of the heir to the Crawley family, which leads to a distant cousin, Matthew Crawley, a member of the working class, to become heir of the estate. From inheritance and maintaining Downton to scandals and WWI, there is so much conflict in the show (and it gets very addicting).
Emily would also like to note how much she loves the yellow labs on this show and can't believe she forgot to mention them :)
Downton Abbey is available on Prime Video, Peacock, Brit Box and, as always, your local library.

Amazon Prime Video's latest show "My Lady Jane" is everywhere! Is it worth the watch?
The show is based on the novel, My Lady Jane, by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, and retells the story of historical figure Lady Jane Grey with a fantasy twist. Lots of romance and humor fills this show and is definitely a good time.
