An Hour With Your Ex Pride and Podcasts: Bridget Jones's Diary

Published: March 20, 2016, 8:27 p.m.

Mel Evans is joined by Jessica Kent and Rachel Grandi to discuss more modern "adaptations" of Jane Austen's works.  This episode, they plod their way through Helen Fielding's body dysmorphic novel "Bridget Jones's Diary." Is this a true Jane Austen adaptation or is it a martini-fueled fan letter to the BBC "Pride and Prejudice" mini-series?  We're not judging, we just want Bridget to love herself. An Hour with Your Ex is a Denver-based podcast hosted by Mark Colomb and Mel Evans. "Bridget Jones's Diary" is a 1996 novel by Helen Fielding made into a terrible 2001 film starring an actress Mel cares not to name.  This last bit is for SEO.
