In a chapter where Emma herself does not appear we compare the Westons to the Bingleys, the Woodhouses to the Elliots, Harriet to a dog (again) and weave our own queer fantasies that Mr Knightley is jealous because he's worried Harriet will steal Emma away.

Rachel and I talk a lot about Pride and Prejudice for a podcast that is not about that novel. We also discuss Austen's brief engagement, love languages, farm animals, disparage landlords, oh and Emma’s ways of persuading Harriet and /or talking about her like she's a dog.

Rachel and I discover that we may in fact be Mr Woodhouse, and discuss
- gossip (check out this reel)
- Miss Bates comparison to Emma
- Mr Woodhouse's social circle compared to the three witches from Macbeth
- queer vibes and how neither of us can talk to girls
We also suggest a Regency Dragons Den!!! (honestly I thought a dating show would be the first reality TV we discussed reading Emma)If you'd like to support the podcast and hear episodes early you can donate on Ko-fi
