Sanditon Sisterhood's Fandom Victory (Ep. 38)

In Episode 39 we talk about the impact of fandom with JULIET CREESE and MONI SENGUPTA from the Sanditon Sisterhood Strategy Group. SANDITON was supposed to be gone for good when ITV in the U.K. canceled the series in its first season and before its U.S. premiere on PBS MASTERPIECE in 2020. But the Sanditon Sisterhood Strategy Group with the fandom were determined not to let this series, inspired by Jane Austen’s unfinished novel, come to a sad ending. The Sanditon Sisterhood #SaveSanditon campaign helped restore SANDITON for two additional seasons. The 3rd season brought the story to its conclusion. Did SANDITON fans get the Jane Austen-ending they were hoping for?TIME STAMPS34:25 Taking Fans Behind the Scenes of SANDITON45:10 Learning Lessons/Making Friends48:34 Breach Beach Sand Art Campaign50:22 Series Endings (Spoiler Alert)58:04 Working Class Stories in Austen59:37 Sanditon Sisterhood Charities1:01:36 Continuing Friendships1:05:15 Sanditon Sisterhood Social Media1:07:46 What Jane Austen Novel Would You Be a Character In?1:11:34 Which 3 items would you put in a Time Capsule?1:15:55 Watching SANDITON & Pocast Credits1:16:27 DisclaimerRe transcripts:  PLEASE NOTE: TRANSCRIPTS ARE GENERATED USING A COMBINATION OF SPEECH RECOGNITION SOFTWARE AND HUMAN TRANSCRIBERS, AND MAY CONTAIN ERRORS.STAY ENGAGED with HISTORICAL DRAMA WITH THE BOSTON SISTERSENJOY⁠ past podcasts and bonus episodes⁠SIGN UP⁠ for our mailing listSUPPORT this podcast ⁠ SHOP THE PODCAST⁠ on our affiliate bookstoreBuy us a Coffee!
