Lost Lit Lover
“So many lost ladies, so little time!”
I absolutely love this podcast! Although I have been reading and teaching women’s literature for years, I learn something new with each episode. There are so many women writers out there, in the libraries and archives, worthy of attention. Kim and Amy bring them to life through their engaging interviews with other experts.

“Fabulous show!”
I love this show and the women they highlight. The hosts are so much fun to listen to, and they have great guests. I keep recommending this show to everyone I know and on social media. Everyone should listen!
The Eclectic Romantic
“Buried Treasures Unearthed!”
This podcast is a gem! These women have literally found buried treasure: female authors, novels and stories that have been lost to the world and needed two spunky, curious females to help bring them back! Having been an English major in college, I thought I had a handle on what the writing world had been up to in the last two hundred years, but I was mistaken! Each time I listen I find myself writing down a new book to order on Amazon or check my local bookstore. Thank you girls for your courageous contribution; it makes all the difference! :-)
