In this episode, Lisa goes it alone (don’t worry - DC is just filling in for Karl on the Today show - he’ll be back on Monday).  But more fool him, because he missed out on the wonderful Rachel Parris, British comedy performer, writer, actor, and musician known for her work with the long-form comedy improv group 'Austentatious'. Rachel discusses her new novel 'Introducing Mrs. Collins', which delves into the life of Charlotte Lucas after marrying Mr. Collins. The interview covers Rachel's journey into Jane Austen's works, the inspirations behind her novel, and detailed insights into Pride and Prejudice’s beloved characters.  Additionally, Rachel shares her thoughts on Jane Austen's unexplored themes and her future writing plans. A delightful discussion!
