To get up to speed for the forthcoming Jane Austen episode, here’s your homework assignment: youtu.be/NKdcX6jId-M?si…

Ep 217: We're exploring the world of #JaneAusten this week, reacting to the 1995 film adaptation of her novel #Persuasion. With naval officers, snobbery, hunting, dinners and thwarted love, it might seem familiar ...

Specially for all you Persuasion readers, with thanks to Sloop Speedy ⚓️ !

Amputation instruments, including a saw and two amputation knives in a wooden case with a blank gold plaque on the top. The instruments were made by Young, Edinburgh and it is believed they belong to James Syme.

EP 218: We explore the first of two POB books that could be said to be ‘pre-cursors' to the Aubrey-Maturin canon - The Golden Ocean.  Midshipmen, rats, storms, friendships, Irish back-story, shipwreck, disease and action - there’s a lot here to please an Aubrey-Maturin fan!

This is going to be GREAT …

Excellent! O’Brian and Pratchett, what a great potential connection.

This has been on my shelf for a while … it’s time I read it!

The Lubber's Hole As someone with Steven Maturin levels of nautical knowledge myself, I was delighted to come across this fabulous animation of a Nelson era ship which fellow lubbers might enjoy. youtu.be/4Nr1AgIfajI?si… #AubreyMaturin #PatrickOBrian #MasterAndCommander #LubbersHole

Ep 219: We're still riding along on Anson's famous journey - this time from the viewpoint of the Wager, a ship that was lost fairly early in the last book. The two main characters of #TheUnknownShore promise to please #AubreyMaturin fans even more!

“She opened one door, shut it again with the words ‘Too squalid’ and opened another, which led into a pleasant little square room with a piano, bookshelves, a great china stove, two or three elbow-chairs and a sofa”

Thank you so much to our #Patreon supporters, guests and listeners who joined us on Zoom - you are all awesome, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

Episode 220 is out today - dedicated to our interview with POB biographer Dean King. Discover the story of Dean’s journey to discover more of the real world story behind O’Brian’s genius.
