  • 3: No money and no prospects?
    Nov 6 2026

    How did we become Classicists (Part 2)? In this episode, Emily and Catherine continue their discussion about their journeys into Classics and their recent experiences of academic and educational landscapes.

    Correction: The quote "I'm 27 years old, I've no money and no prospects. I'm already a burden to my parents and I'm frightened" should rightly be attributed to Charlotte Lucas in the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. But Catherine likes to think that, in another world, Charlotte and Bridget would have been friends.
