Thanks for this preview, LA!
What a cool concept… what WOULD be in Jane Austen’s iPod? ;) And very interested in Haydn’s perception of Bath.

RegencyRomantic – Jane Austen’s iPod was actually a BBC radio 4 production in January that you could listen to and download for a limited time. Not sure if it is available on the CD offered by Jane Austen’s Regency World Mag. Let you know if so when it arrives. Cheers, LA
