Dr. Erin L. Albert - Fridays

When you have a one time woman veteran in the era when women really didn't go to the military, that's a special strong woman on your hands. But when she does it TWICE?!? That's a fierce woman--one who knows and appreciates other fierce women! Nelva Nielsen is our special guest today on the podcast. She discusses growing up in tough times, and wraps up her interview with equally strong and sage advice for us during THESE tough times. Give a listen to my conversation with her. And to all who have served - especially the women veterans - THANK YOU for your service! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theedutainer/support

(Podcast miniseries art of Jane Austen courtesy of the University of Texas Libraries, The University of Texas at Austin.) Let's jump on a plane and talk to the peeps in charge when something goes haywire, shall we? I love Moni Sengupta's story about heading to Boston to see the premier of Sanditon here in the states. I think Jane would have been proud of her!  Here's her bio: Moni is a Washington DC lawyer, wife, and mom of three teenagers. She is a huge Jane Austen fan. She's lived in DC for nearly 30 years and is originally from a suburb of Boston. And, she is a dual US and UK citizen, however, so part of her Jane Austen affinity comes from that! She's on Twitter at: @moshimisen. Listen in to hear what she did to share how to keep the story alive for a #SanditonSeason2! _ CAUTION: there are many spoilers in this miniseries from Season 1 of Sanditon, which was a recent PBS/Masterpiece and ITV/Red Planet miniseries production which happened in early 2019.. If you have not yet seen the miniseries, you may

(Podcast miniseries art of Jane Austen courtesy of the University of Texas Libraries, The University of Texas at Austin.) Who BETTER to interview for the Jane Austen/Save Sanditon podcast miniseries than someone...in television?!? Yay! Simone Snow is a Hollywood Executive Assistant by day, and a screenwriter by night (and weekends). She majored in Creative Writing at Knox College, and she earned an MFA in Screenwriting at the University of Southern California. She's worked as support staff on television shows, at production companies, and currently at a major Hollywood studio. Her ultimate goal is to write for dramatic television, depicting and promoting diversity for women and people of color to see themselves as heroes and leading characters—not just sidekicks—on screen. With nearly a decade of industry experience under her belt, Simone knows her chosen career path is going to be an uphill battle. However, it's one she's eager to help fight. Simone is over at Twitter: https://twitter.com/SimoneSnow This mon

(Podcast miniseries art of Jane Austen courtesy of the University of Texas Libraries, The University of Texas at Austin.) Our Women's History Month celebration of Jane Austen continues! Today's chat is with a woman who I so admire - she created HER VERY OWN HAPPILY EVER AFTER ENDING of Sanditon after watching season 1!  Tune in to hear more about how she became active in the Sanditon Sisterhood, and more important - where you can read HER adapted happily ever after endings for Sanditon, even if we never get them on TV or the Big Screen! Angie's bio: Angie Stenning began her career in a variety of administrative roles in early 1990’s and went on to join the U.K. Civil Service in 1997. During her Civil Service career, spanning over twenty years, Angie has fulfilled a variety of managerial roles and is currently employed as an Information Manager.

(Podcast miniseries art of Jane Austen courtesy of the University of Texas Libraries, The University of Texas at Austin.) It is a truth universally acknowledged that we love Jane Austen! Why not tie that up with Women's History Month AND a newer movement on and through social media to Save Sanditon, Jane's last work, for a season 2 to be produced from the recent adaptation that ended TRAGICALLY on PBS/Masterpiece! This month, in honor of Women's History Month, our love of Jane (for being so ahead of her time and creating heroines who are strong, smart and bold), we are rolling out a podcast miniseries to celebrate her final work.
