Bonnets at Dawn is a podcast that started in 2017 and looked at the lives and works of authors Jane Austen, Anne, Emily and Charlotte Bronte. Over the last six years the hosts, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Burke, have brought female authors who may have not been as well known as their male counterparts or who may have been forgotten by history front and centre.
Burke and Chapman discuss the writings and lives of women writers of the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They also do episodes on poetry, literary house tours, read alongs and ghost stories.
The hosts have a natural flow with their subjects and they have great chemistry. Each episode has a great combination of humour and facts. The podcast has lots of interesting guests who bring their knowledge and opinions to the subjects which adds a different take on the work that they are discussing.
Each episode is enjoyable and great to listen to. They are filled with interesting facts and the hosts leaves one thinking more about what they have listened to and feeling positive from the jokes and humour.
