Listen to this podcast episode on Spotify, Apple, and wherever you find bookish podcasts.
I’m joined this week on the podcast by writer, social media specialist and fellow Janeite, Rachel Amber Bloom.
Rachel gives me a crash course in the Star Trek fandom, we compare favorite childhood books, and we of course talk at length about all things Jane Austen, from favorite novels, to the dearth of non-Pride & Prejudice fanfic, to Emma adaptation rankings (spoiler: we both put Clueless at the top).
Listen to Rachel on the podcast Masks and Mayhem.
