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. She will be forever missed. Since then, Kemper has completed the podcast's ranking project, and continues to celebrate 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.

    Introducing Nova Scotia - Part 1 - Flavours of the Annapolis Valley from Atlantic Canada. Follow the show: Atlantic Canada Nick and Amy arrive in Nova Scotia for the final leg of their Atlantic Canada road trip — a place where dramatic coastlines, deep history, and unforgettable food all collide. In Part 1, the journey begins with a ferry crossing over the legendary Bay of Fundy, home to the highest tides on Earth and some of the richest waters in the North Atlantic. From there they explore the Annapolis Valley before heading to the tiny fishing village of Hall's Harbour, where lobster traps line the docks and dinner comes straight from the ocean at Halls Harbour Lobster Pound & Restaurant. Along the way they uncover the Scottish roots behind the name Nova Scotia, the diverse communities who now call this place home, and discover why the cold Atlantic waters produce some of the largest lobsters on the planet. The day ends in the charming town of Wolfville, the heart of the region’s rapidly growing wine scene, with a stop among the vines at Luckett Vineyards.
