Speaker
Hey Melinda, what if I told you that there is a version of Pride and Prejudice set in the 1980s? Hey Stefanie what about the one set in Monday London? Well, it is an absolute classic and readers just can't get enough of Darcy and Elizabeth.

Speaker
Agreed. And there is a whole world out there where all sorts of creators, authors and filmmakers have written their own versions of Pride and Prejudice, their own homage to this beloved story.

Speaker
And while nothing comes close to Austen's masterful depiction of family relationships, reputation, societal pressures, these adaptations offer some fascinating takes on the classic. Like, what if Pride and Prejudice involved Egyptologists and an ancient curse?

Speaker
Um, no? Anyway, my favourites feature witches and vampires. Or dragons. And of course, those pesky zombies. Jane Austen Remixed is a podcast where we, your hosts, Melinda and Stefanie dive deep into the world of adaptations, where some are fabulous. Some are just not our cup of tea, and some are downright unhinged. Each episode, we'll take a deep dive on a different adaptation, examining how well it tackles the themes of the original, and answer the all-important question.

Speaker
Does this Darcy dive into a lake? And we'll find out just for you. Join us for Jane Austen Remixed, coming soon.
