Tune in twice a week to Sirius XM Book Radio (Sirius #117; XM #163) to hear "Penguin Classics on Air," a half-hour radio show written and produced entirely by Penguin employees.

Beginning yesterday, "Penguin Classics on Air" will air Mondays from 3:00-3:30 pm and Thursdays from 11:30-midnight. Hosted by Elda Rotor, Stephen Morrison, and Alan Walker, the show features in-depth conversations with scholars and experts about various topics, including Austenmania, the enduring appeal vampires in literature, the philosophers everyone should (and can) read, and books that have sparked revolutions.

In this week's episode, "Why We Love Jane Austen," you'll learn about what it means to be a Janeite, how etiquette was different in Austen's time, and why spoofs like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies are so popular right now.

Enjoy the show!
