Next Episode: Ep 2: Pride in Prejudice Part 2: Perhaps a Little Less Formally Attired

Welcome Jane Austen lovers and haters alike! In their first podcast, Kristin and Maggie discuss Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice. Kristin explains how Austen's portrayal of Mr. Darcy transformed her understanding of her own social anxiety, and why people who dismiss Austen's works as "love in bonnets" are missing the point.

The First Impressions podcast is a safe space for us to discuss our love for Jane Austen away from the haters, and perhaps even convert some skeptics in the process!
