All About Agatha Christie
All About Agatha is a podcast all about, well, Agatha. Agatha Christie, of course: the Queen of Crime, a real-life Dame of the British Empire, and author of sixty-six mystery novels that spanned the Twentieth Century, defining a genre. For five years, Catherine Brobeck and Kemper Donovan revisited these novels in publication order, ranking them according to pre-set criteria (plot, character, etc.). Tragically, Catherine Brobeck passed away at the end of 2021. Since then, Kemper has completed the podcast's ranking project, and now contents himself with celebrating the greatness of Christie by attempting to solve the ultimate mystery where she is concerned. Why Christie--and Christie alone--endures as powerfully as she does.
Fantastic must-listen for Dame Agatha fans!

It’s such a joy to rush over to the All About Agatha podcast each time I finish one of her books, listen to the episode, and compare notes on the novel. Kemper (and his late and dearly missed co-host Catherine) is whip-smart, thoughtful, and hilarious. Their passion for Christie shines through. I want to thank both Catherine and Kemper especially for helping getting me through a very difficult year, when this podcast was a source of constant joy and delight. Can’t recommend All About Agatha enough!

This is a perfect show! One of my life long topics, Kemper's beautiful voice, and always a topic that pulls me in and makes me so happy to be there! Thank you!!!
Agree with “problematic male host”

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.
