David and Lisa Campbell recap Sanditon episode 6 on their “Into the Austenverse”.  We’re In London - we have a laneway attack, meet three separate Big Bad guys and a carriage chase.  In the first 15 minutes of the episode.  MADNESS. Back in Sanditon, Edward hunts for Lady Denham’s will; Clara finds it, revealing money left to Sanditon’s development and a donkey sanctuary.  Not even joking.

Has Sanditon jumped the carriage?  Sidney has.

DC and Lisa celebrate the one-year anniversary of Into the Austenverse and reflect on global listenership and standout guests before welcoming award-winning writer/showrunner/executive producer Liz Doran to discuss Netflix’s My Brilliant Career. Doran shares how she came to the story via the film, pitched Netflix first, and developed a “dirty-hemmed, unbuttoned” Australian period drama with detailed realism, expanded First Nations storylines through First Nations writers and consultants, and a reimagined Harry with Chinese heritage, plus specific symbolic choices like native flowers and black cockatoo feathers. Actors Philippa Northeast (Sybylla) and Kate Mulvany (Augusta) join to discuss casting, building character through collaboration, working with Christopher Chung, filming key scenes like the New Year’s Eve party, and why the series’ themes of agency and ambition resonate worldwide, while hoping it inspires more Australian literary adaptations.

 ***Warning - there is a spicy discussion about Sybylla’s sex life in the interview with Pip and Kate.***

 BUMPER 'MY BRILLIANT CAREER' EPISODE with Showrunner Liz Doran + Stars Philippa Northeast & Kate Mulvany

Lisa hosts solo while David is at Channel 9, recommending Joanna Nadin’s “After Darcy,” a funny, risqué, joyful Pride and Prejudice modern day sequel and previewing Sunday’s final “Franklinverse” interviews with Liz Doran and stars Kate Mulvany and Philippa Northeast.   In the interview, Nadin explains she shifted from serious women’s fiction to more commercial comedy after publishing changes, drawing on her YA Austen-inspired series, and focusing on the Bennet sisters as older women dealing with kids, divorce, and difficult teens. She describes her process of “hanging out” with characters, casting actors in her head, and building plot needs into modern jobs and details (including Lydia’s reality TV fame and ADHD diagnosis). Nadin discusses her Austen exposure via adaptations, Press Gang’s influence, her career in journalism and UK political speechwriting.

Bonus Episode - Interview with Joanna Nadin - Author of ‘After Darcy’

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/f0af2e98-6d10-4c80-aa89-b4c800c36fe9/transcript

David and Lisa Campbell discuss the final two episodes of the Netflix miniseries My Brilliant Career, opening with a Henry Lawson letter praising Miles Franklin.  They recap the post–New Year’s Eve fallout as Sybylla faces her grandmother reading her journal, tensions around Harry and Blanche, and escalating consequences for Frank and others on Federation Day. The conversation highlights themes of men constrained by patriarchy, women supporting and freeing each other (Nell, Betty, Helen, Gussie), and symbolism such as horses and harnesses, alongside vivid production design contrasts between Caddagat, Possum Gully, and the M’Swats. They praise performances—especially Philippa Northeast and Genevieve O’Reilly—compare Franklin’s ending to rom-com expectations, and note recent critical coverage, then announce upcoming interviews with showrunner Liz Doran and stars Philippa Northeast and Kate Mulvany plus a bonus Austenverse episode on After Darcy.
