Friday Audio - WHYY: Celebrating Austen: Pride and Prejudice turns 200

Earlier this week our very own, Deborah Yaffee was on the radio show Raido Times with Marty Moss-Coane along with Colleen Sheehan.

Here's the program description from the website:

In 1813 Jane Austen published Pride and Prejudice under the pseudonym “A Lady.” In the two centuries since, the story of the quick-witted Elizabeth Bennet and the rich, proud Mr. Darcy has captivated millions of readers and viewers of the many television and film adaptations. But the book is more than just a romance. This hour we celebrate Pride and Prejudice’s 200th Anniversary and Jane Austen’s writing and her life. Guest host Maiken Scott talks with COLLEEN SHEEHAN, an Austen scholar at Villanova University and with DEBORAH YAFFE, a journalist who followed the profiled hard-core Austen devotees for her book Among the Janeites – A Journey Through the World of Jane Austen Fans[sic].

Friday Audio - Among the Janeites on the Brian Lehrer Show

Deborah Yaffe, journalist, self-proclaimed "Janeite" and the author of Among the Janeites: A Journey Through the World of Jane Austen Fandom (Mariner Books, 2013) discusses the passionate world of Jane Austen fans and what it says about fanaticism in general.

If your favorite place to get books does not have the book please ask for it, most bookstores and libraries will be happy to provide you access to the materials you are looking for!

Friday Audio - “Jane Austen, Game Theorist”: A New Freakonomics Radio Podcast

Take some time today and head over to the Freakonomics webpage and listen to their discussion with Micheal Chwe.  

“Jane Austen, Game Theorist”: A New Freakonomics Radio Podcast

From the website:

It is an episode about, yes, Jane Austen and game theory. To which you might say … wha?

Okay, a bit more explanation is necessary. Michael Chwe is an associate professor of political science at UCLA whose research centers on game theory and, as he puts it, “its applications to social movements and macroeconomics and violence — and this latest thing is about its applications maybe to literature.”
