All About Agatha Christie

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.

I am so disappointed, and, frankly, very tired of hearing various celebrities opining about the presidential election. I thought “All about Agatha“ was above that. Please keep in mind that our president - elect was overwhelmingly elected. “All about Agatha” has always been a safe Haven to “get away from the world“, which I have appreciated very much. Maybe it is better to keep one’s political beliefs private instead of insulting half of the American population? Just a thought…….

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!!!

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.
