EGSM Declassified: Jane Austen

Fri, 22 Jul 2022 15:00:00 GMT

In this declassified Patreon episode, you must allow Helen, Sasha, Lydia, and Maddy to tell you how ardently they admire and love the works of Jane Austen.

We chat about the trials and tribulations of how we got into the books in the first place, our favourite characters and relationships, and the various merits of the many film and TV adaptations of Austen’s work.

Top quote: "They feel small, but that's fine, because it is also a delighting in the smallness of real life and existing, and the skill that it takes to navigate those things."

Today, April, Frank, Hannah, Helen, and Jonny talk about what makes an urban legend, creepy stories from their hometowns, and what cryptids they would be if they had to choose. (Yes, Mothman makes the list!).

Introducing; Enthusigasm!

Fri, 08 Oct 2021 14:45:00 GMT

Rusty Quill presents a brand new chat show! Enthusigasm is a light-hearted podcast hosted by our very own Helen Gould.

In each episode, she invites her guests to discuss a topic that they're enthusiastic about: from pets and pirates to magic and monsters. You’ll be hearing from Rusty Quill regulars, people from the RQ Network, and lots of the friends that we’ve made along the way.

Plus, if you’re a Rusty Quill patron, you’ll get early access to an extra-long director’s cut of every episode.

Keep your eyes on this feed for the first episode, coming very soon!
