Though she died in 1942, her legacy lives on around the world through the Anne franchise, most recently Anne with an E. Maud wrote 20 novels, over 500 short stories, and countless poems. Her works have been translated world-wide and she has been lauded by the likes of Mark Twain, Mindy Kaling and even had her own Google Doodle! But Maud was so much more than her work. After her mother’s death, Maud was raised by strict grandparents, her imagination her only refuge. With determination and a typewriter missing a W, Maud made a career for herself, and fought for the rights of authors, winning an 8 year copyright battle that took her all the way to the Supreme Court. Despite her fame, Maud’s small town roots were calling, and she settled into a double-life as a world famous author, minister’s wife, and mother battling mental illness and addiction. Maud's story is as relevant today as it was 80 years ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c8beaf2fc8a6e5ad08ae5/1632412333605-TF0FYLSLNK8GFT3ZB73S/Maud_at_9.jpg Home Episode 1: Biography Is A Screaming Farce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c8beaf2fc8a6e5ad08ae5/1a13399c-68a8-4aa2-9710-4b840a8080a9/anne_sittingonluggage_t800.jpg Home Episode 2: Does She Not Stand At My Elbow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c8beaf2fc8a6e5ad08ae5/18e3549e-f36f-4202-b04e-c3275c9f23b4/1cc2e1e915783029c2e76a45f82f28b2.jpg Home Episode 3: The Most Vital Subject In The World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c8beaf2fc8a6e5ad08ae5/09403a84-15d8-4d3a-8545-f065c3a700df/UOGuelph26833.JPG Home Episode 4: I Felt Like That Fly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c8beaf2fc8a6e5ad08ae5/1632410138051-CFLOYH890CWQ2PS1W13V/14845819617_bbc2814521_o-c78d93eeb90e4e4787f71830bdbfdf19%2B%25281%2529.jpg Home Episode 5: A Different Breed of Cats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c8beaf2fc8a6e5ad08ae5/20a6abab-1109-4bea-8b7d-bc5fa25ddc9c/02e5326e22176ce0ccd7f0e3e9aaa5c8--anne-of-green-gables-montgomery+%281%29.jpg Home Episode 6: I Also See Before It A Garden https://www.maudthepod.com/about daily 0.75 2021-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c8beaf2fc8a6e5ad08ae5/1632407925122-AM9MKUIP6W7ZYF74V5Z4/LMM-webres-square.jpeg About - If Maud was only known for the creation of Anne of Green Gables, that would be enough. But her story neither begins nor ends with Anne. Maud: Books, Babes, & Barbiturates looks at the life of author and Canadian icon Lucy Maud Montgomery, through the lens of two women living in the 21st century. Using Maud's own journals and the research of Dr. Mary Rubio, your hosts, Jen MacLennan and Stef Drummond, piece together the interesting, and at times tragic life of Maud. https://www.maudthepod.com/yourhosts daily 0.75 2023-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c8beaf2fc8a6e5ad08ae5/1632410882618-O23EY41Y4YMUDLIIOH4O/1517491561057.jpeg Hosts - Jen MacLennan Jen MacLennan is an educator and writer based in Collingwood, Ontario. She hails from Owen Sound and credits her hometown for providing her with story-rich experiences and some of her own kindred spirits. Jen loves to teach, read, and research history, all of which inspire stories about people and situations she finds fascinating. Anne of Green Gables was a childhood favourite and inspired imagination and early independence in Jen. Delving into Maud's diaries has given Jen an even deeper respect for Maud’s work and a vivid picture of her life. She's pumped to tell Maud's story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c8beaf2fc8a6e5ad08ae5/32fb3db6-72ed-4aa7-b9bd-5afe1366d18c/nola.jpg Hosts - Nola Augustson as Maud Nola is an actor and coach based in Toronto. She has worked in theatre, film, and tv throughout her carer. Most recently she has appeared as a recurring character in such projects as (the soon to be released short series) Kingswood, Murdoch Mysteries, Workin’ Moms, and Damnation. Growing up in Edmonton, Alberta in the 60’s, Anne Shirley was most definitely a kindred spirit. Reading, re-reading, and reading again the books that lead you through Anne’s life. For Stef and Jen to include her in this adventure is a glorious treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614c8beaf2fc8a6e5ad08ae5/1635189749091-J9HBDI9SD1UFGOXILTXQ/Plaid.png Hosts - Stef Drummond Stef is an actor and writer based in Los Angeles, California but her heart lies in Owen Sound, Ontario. She is best known for playing Bethany Byrd in Mean Girls and has appeared in theatre, film, and tv throughout North America. Most notably on Bosch, Spotlight, Blindspot, and the childhood dream fulfiller, Fuller House. Although she loves acting, her best gig is with Young Storytellers mentoring future screenwriters in LA public schools. She loves Anne of Green Gables with a passion she could hardly articulate.

We recognize that Maud comes from land she referred to as Prince Edward Island but the Indigenous people of the area, the Mi'k Maq call it Epekwitk. As guests on these lands, we recognize the complicity of ourselves, and of LM Montgomery, in the colonial project. We recognize that LM Montgomery came from another time and place but that is not an excuse. We can only try to keep acknowledging this, keep learning from our time and place, right now, and to be better allies to Indigenous peoples. As Maud appreciated nature and the land around her, so do we, and we thank and acknowledge the enduring presence of Indigenous people on all of these lands. https://www.maudthepod.com/donate daily 0.75 2025-05-12
