E20 The Appeal of Regency Romance (Part 2)

Sex. Love. Literature.

This episode is the second of our two-parter on Bridgerton, Jane Austen, and the appeal of the Regency Romance genre. Continuing our tête-à-tête with Mav and Hannah from Vox Popcast, we get into why Netflix’s Persuasion may or may not have sucked, other delightful Jane Austin adaptations, and what ingredients we absolutely have to have to make a regency romance work.

You can find Hannah, Mav, and VoxPop wherever you get your podcasts. But here are links to one of the episodes we mention: e218. Does The Bechdel Test Fail The Bechdel Test?
