All About Agatha Christie - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is a fun part of my reading routine. After reading a Christie book (I’m reading them in publication order) I go back and find the podcast episode that corresponds. It’s like going to book club discussion and helps me organize my memories of the book. Sound quality is great, keepers voice is pleasant. The tone is just right—fun and erudite without feeling dry.

So fun to reread my favorites Christies and then settle in to listen to the corresponding episode. Love to hear the historical context and breakdown of the plot mechanics.

Great content honest reviews and interesting when the two hosts disagree; however be warned the audio is ROUGH at the start… I’m in 2017 episodes now and it’s better but still not the audio quality of a pro podcast and you need to listen to all episodes to hear all the rankings and stories. Enjoyable content, power through !

I appreciate the breadth and depth of your conversation on an author I have loved since 6th grade (12 years old). It’s easy to get settled and feel “been there done that,” with mysteries but I still love re-reading them endlessly. So your insightful conversations stir up new and fresh ideas and perspectives. Thank you!

Discovered this podcast when it showed up on YouTube and started listening to episodes in chronological order.
Pros: good concept, a chance to revisit the stories and (for me) the beloved 80’s PBS adaptations (loved having the “Mystery “ theme used for the podcast intro). Also found Catherine Brobeck to be the superior host by far: intelligent, concise, engaging. When Kemper and Catherine are having a more or less equal exchange they made a good pair and the podcast sparkles.
Cons: Sadly, sadly, no more Catherine. Also, while not opposed to the idea of ranking, found the minutia of assigning numeric values tiresome and time consuming. Became annoyed at Kemper’s tendency to run on and on and on…. Not that what he said was necessarily bad, just felt that he loved the sound of his own voice.
Conclusion: I will not be listening to this podcast once there I hit the episodes with a single host. And I will try not to be tune out whenKemper monopolizes the conversation.
And I am very, very sorry that this is no longer a problem.
