What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Lifelong Austenite (and probably a bit older than the target demographic). So much fun listening to Molly & Becky dissect Austen content!

BexMurph · Oct 2025

This is so fun. I enjoy Molly and her guesses about what’s gonna happen. Becca is great with her “I will neither confirm or deny”. I also love when they cover the adaptations and retellings and they have led me to some books, I might have otherwise not known about.

RadKate24 · Jan 2025

I love this podcast, I was a huge P&P fan, but hadn't read any other Austen until I found your podcast and now I'm reading along with you! However, the real reason I'm writing a review is to let you know that you have infected my speech patterns and now anytime someone says "Who" I always respond "Whomst?"

Zigmorfics · Jan 2024

I really like vicariously living through experiencing Jane Austen’s books for the first time through Molly. I can’t wait for you to read Mansfield Park which is my favorite. My Jane Austen hot take is that Fanny Price deserves better than a choice between Henry Crawford and Edmund Bertram. As a Jewish girl who enjoys Jane Austen, I also love listening to your experience and comparing it to my own.

Venerable Flying Pig · Nov 2023

I really wanted to like this show and tried multiple times but I cannot handle it. I loved the idea of an inexperienced reader exploring Austen for the first time but neither of the hosts have the respect or desire to explore the author beyond the mainstream romance tropes. After the third time that the word canonically was spit out like this was the Marvel universe, I bailed for the final time. If you are here expecting fainting, swooning and Lady Whistledown, you might be okay. If you appreciate Jane Austen for her wit and social commentary…. Just move on.

Don't Wait... Just buy it! · Jul 2024

I could partially enjoy the episodes covering P&P (the book), simply because it’s fun to hear someone experience the novel for the very first time. Some episodes were tough to bear, with the hosts knowing little to nothing about Austen or the time period, and often aren’t sure what time period the book is taking place in. Their comments really present no new or interesting insights into the work. I thought that the episodes covering the 90’s screen adaptation of P&P would be easier to stomach, but they’re somehow even worse. I’m finally bailing. If you like podcasts that are backed by no preliminary background research, and think that repeated shouts of “THE PATRIARCHY!!!” signal intelligence, then this one is for you.
