Jane AustenThis week’s Words at Large podcast is devoted to Jane Austen, who has been a perennial favourite with our listeners. In this lively Writers & Company interview, Eleanor Wachtel brings together a group of Austen experts in London, England, to discuss the beloved author’s enduring popularity and her books’ successful move to the big screen.

This is our final Words At Large podcast, with host Sharon Farrell, but our website will continue to bring you the best of CBC’s book coverage. We’ve added an exciting new show to our line-up: Shelagh Rogers’ The Next Chapter, which debuts this week.

We’ll also continue to feature a weekly podcast of Writers & Company and the Between the Covers readings, as well as online features from shows like Quirks & Quarks, Tapestry, The Sunday Edition and Spark.
