Hey, listeners! Our names are Olivia and Jessica and we're two fellow grad students at VCU. This podcast started as a final project for ENGL 624: Cultures of Captivity with Dr. Catherine Ingrassia. We'll be taking texts from the long-eighteenth century and analyzing them next to more contemporary texts and adaptations such as Twilight, Bridgerton, and Disney's The Little Mermaid. 

We hope to continue creating content based on our personal literary interests outside of academia, so let us know if you have anything you'd like for us to cover! 

You can contact us at prosenconspod@gmail.com, on Instagram at prose_cons_pod, or on Facebook at Prose and Cons Podcast.
