Guys, we're truly sorry this episode is so long. We just have so many Jane Eyre feelings. We'll pull ourselves together next week, we promise.
Lauren takes some suspicious cough syrup and recaps Northanger Abbey. Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Lauren and Hannah have feelings about the Bronte biopic To Walk Invisible. Actress/Artist Holly Gorne joins the girls to discuss her roles in Austen and Bronte productions, including her most recent as Anne Bronte. And the parsonage is most definitely haunted.

Two men enter. One man leaves. It's the biggest and baddest smackdown yet - Darcy vs. Heathcliff. An argument so big, it will take two episodes to cover. Listen as Hannah makes a case for Darcy and explains what exactly makes a Regency gentleman.
Things get a little PG-13 as Hannah and Lauren take the podcast to an English themed pub and subject their friends to some Austen and Brontë trivia. Things may get a little get a little off track as the girls seek to find the true meaning of Cheeky Nando's. Big thanks to Liz Fogarty and Megan Byrd for joining us.
