  1. Case #1: The Last Toast

    EPISODE 1

    Case #1: The Last Toast

    A lavish Georgian banquet. Fine wine poured. Civil smiles exchanged. By the end of the night, someone will pay the price. In this debut episode of Murder Through Time, a single evening in Georgian Bath becomes a puzzle of motive and opportunity. Those gathered for the night find themselves caught in a web of resentment, secrecy, and quiet calculation, where even the smallest gesture may conceal intent. Are you ready to catch the culprit? **************************************** How to Play Along As you listen, keep your ears sharp for clues — words chosen too carefully, silences that linger, objects out of place, and coincidences that refuse to be innocent. I’ll introduce you to the suspects, guide you through the setting, and walk you step by step through the events of the evening. The method will reveal itself. Motives will surface, fracture, and collide. Your task is to decide who caused the death — and why. You’re welcome to take notes as we go. A scrap of paper will do. But beware. Not every clue leads to the truth. Red herrings linger in the shadows, waiting to pull you off course. When we reach the end, you’ll have a moment to lock in your verdict before the truth is revealed. Think you can outwit the culprit? Let’s begin.

    EPISODE 6

    Case #6: The Scent of Favor

    Welcome, sleuth, to tonight's case. Tonight we travel to the royal court of Xerxes I, in the early fifth century BCE. At Susa, the heart of the Achaemenid Empire, power is measured not only in armies and conquest, but in proximity-who may enter, who may speak, and who is permitted to remain unseen. Within the women's household, life unfolds in quiet precision. Attendants move through their duties with care. Instructions are followed without question. Every action is shaped by rank, by custom, by the expectation that nothing will fall out of place. But in a world so carefully controlled, even the smallest deviation carries weight. A glance held too long. A moment witnessed by the wrong person. A decision made not openly-but deliberately. And before the day is over, something within this ordered world will break. Are you ready to catch the culprit? **************************************** How to Play Along As you listen, keep your ears sharp for clues- things people say, things they don't say, suspicious objects, and strange coincidences.
