We believe there is always more to learn and enjoy about Jane, and we invite you to join us for the ride! Each month our host, Breckyn Wood, will talk to scholars, authors, and subject experts on a wide variety of topics related to Austen's life and works. We think you'll have fun and learn something new from each episode—whether you are a lifelong reader, an Austen newbie, a seasoned Austen scholar, or somewhere in between. Join us each month for a delightful Austen chat!
