A past he can't escape. A secret that won't stay buried. A murder that changes everything. It's 1980, a time of peace and tranquility on a legendary island off the coast of New England. Inhabiting the island is a vibrant cast of locals that includes scallopers, tradespeople, and a mysterious recluse -the wealthiest man in Massachusetts. But that peace is shattered with the murder of a prominent lawyer, a pillar of the community.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Joaquín Berges es un contador de historias que hace de cada uno de sus libros una fiesta para el lector. Tiene una técnica muy depurada, una prosa magnífica y un ritmo tan cuidado como medido pero sobre todas las cosas, Joaquín tiene la capacidad de contar historias. Con humor, con ternura, realidad a raudales, miedo e incertidumbre a veces. Lo comprobamos con “Peregrinas” o “Ganas de vivir”, sus últimas novelas, y ahora en “Manual de terapia felina”, una novela de historias en la que a través de un psicólogo tan agudo como ácido que vive solo con su gato, Joaquín nos regala personajes y vivencias tan surrealista como posibles. "Los mejores crímenes para mis novelas se me han ocurrido fregando platos. Fregar los platos convierte a cualquiera en un maníaco homicida de categoría". Lo dijo en una entrevista Agatha Christie, la gran dama del crimen, la autora más publicada de todos los tiempos, tan solo superada por la Biblia y Shakespeare. Sus libros han vendido más de dos mil millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo y las versiones, interpretaciones, adaptaciones de su obra no dejan de sucederse cuando se cumplen 50 años de su muerte. Recordamos a la autora que además de novelas, dejo grandes frases en sus entrevistas.

„Bude inšpektorom, aby už mal aké-také znalosti o zločine. Bude puntičkár a čistotný... má rád, keď sú veci v páre a tiež veci hranaté, nie okrúhle. A mozog má ako britva – bude v ňom mať sivé bunky... Dám mu veľkolepé meno... a čo keby som tohto svojho človiečika pomenovala Herkules? Bude malý a pritom Herkules – vynikajúce meno! Priezvisko sa vymýšľalo ťažšie. Sama neviem, prečo som ho pomenovala Poirot.“ Takto Agatha Christie opísala vo svojom životopise zrod azda najznámejšieho detektíva na svete, ak teda nepočítame Sherlocka Holmesa. Sama vraj neskôr ľutovala, že si za svoju literárnu postavu nezvolila niekoho iného, mladšieho, s kým by mohla starnúť. Ako sa to však v dejinách literatúry deje často, a v detektívnom žánri azda ešte viac, fiktívna postava akoby prerástla svojho autora a žije ďalej vlastným životom. Nás však dnes bude zaujímať práve život autorky, ktorú bez preháňania môžeme nazvať kráľovnou detektívok. Pritom spočiatku len máločo naznačovalo, že by sa Agatha Christie mohla stať úspešnou spisovateľkou. Sama priznávala, že občas má problém z ortografiou a jej prvý román odmietli všetky vydavateľstvá. Vzala si však k srdcu slová britského spisovateľa Edena Phillpottsa, aby sa nevzdávala. Naším veľkým šťastím je, že ho poslúchla a vytrvala aj napriek mnohým ťažkým životným skúškam. O tom, ako sa dobrá detektívka stala naším najmilším rituálom, sa Jaro Valent rozpráva s publicistom a prekladateľom Tomášom Mrvom.

En 2026 se cumplen 50 años de la muerte de Agatha Christie, autora de más de 80 obras y creadora de Hércules Poirot y Miss Marple, “dos de los detectives más perspicaces de la literatura (con permiso de Sherlock Holmes, de Conan Doyle)”. Con motivo de esta efeméride, Sandra Martín propone viajar a Estambul tras los pasos de la escritora, ciudad donde arranca una de sus novelas más célebres.

Después de comenzar con una rave en una sauna danesa esta edición de Gente viajera con Carles Lamelo, seguimos la fiesta electrónica con Rebeca Marín y la experiencia de Sirat de Oliver Laxe en el Museo de Arte Reina Sofía. Con la música nos perdemos por Luisiana, llenando de paso los carrillos de comida cajún y criolla, con Víctor Herranz. Enrique Domínguez Uceta nos lleva al casco histórico Patrimonio de la Humanidad y otros atractivos de Tallín, en Estonia, y nos sugiere acercarnos a los exvotos marinos en iglesias del País Vasco como la de la Virgen del Mar de Mamariga, en Santurtzi, donde los marineros dejaron una fragata de ocho cañones del siglo XVIII colgando del techo para agradecer a Dios, a la Virgen o a los santos la protección recibida en el mar. Frank Rodríguez, fundador de AstroEduca, que ofrece experiencias de astroturismo en Gran Canaria como ser astrónomo por una noche en un observatorio astronómico amateur, nos cuenta cómo son los limpísimos cielos grancanarios y las actividades para disfrutarlos y nos regala un súper consejo para el eclipse solar total del 12 de agosto. Otro súper consejo es visitar los mercados españoles para comprar producto fresco, pero también para comer en ellos. Anna Riera nos hace una ruta de mercados que comienza en Santiago de Compostela y finaliza en Málaga y también nos anima a practicar el desperdicio cero en la cocina tomando como referente la cocina líquida de Ricard Camarena. Una cocina que a buen seguro marida a la perfección con los vinos del Valle Casablanca y el Valle de Colchagua, en Chile. Más de 300 viñas se abren al público en este país por cuyas muchísimas maravillas naturales nos guía Verónica Pardo, su subsecretaria de Turismo. En el 50 aniversario de la muerte de Agatha Christie, con Sandra Martín damos una vuelta por Estambul, donde comienza Asesinato en el Orient Express.

After last week's “Hercule Poirot” TV pilot, we turn back to the great David Suchet for a look at “Murder on the Links.” Since we published “The Complete, Annotated Murder on the Links,” we've got a lot to say about this episode from “Agatha Christie's Poirot.” Teresa Peschel, author of "Agatha Christie, She Watched" and the "International Agatha Christie, She Watched," hosts our livestream.

After a five-year hiatus, “Agatha Christie's Poirot” returned in 2000 with a different format (90-minute movies), a more serious tone, and less emphasis on Miss Lemon, Hastings, and Inspector Japp. The series was launched with one of Christie's greatest novels, “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd,” and what they did to the book, well, you'll have to watch us and find out.Teresa Peschel, author of "Agatha Christie, She Watched" and the "International Agatha Christie, She Watched," hosts our livestream.

Martin Freeman is one of the most sought-after actors of his generation. Whether it's Tim in The Office, John - the mild-mannered porn actor in Love Actually, Watson in Sherlock, Bilbo in The Hobbit, the stressed parent in Breeders, the Liverpudlian cop with personal problems in The Responder and Everett K. Ross in Marvel Cinematic Universe smash hits Captain America and Black Panther - Freeman is a star, and to date has won two Emmys and a BAFTA. In this episode, Martin reflects on his childhood as the youngest of five (comparatively modest when you consider his mother was one of fourteen!) as well as the lasting impact of losing his father at ten years old. We talk about parenting, the people who've inspired him (hello, Michael Caine), the future of AI from a technophobe's perspective, his unease with fame and the quieter failures that sit behind public success. Plus: strap yourself in for much hilarity. I don't think I can remember a guest who made me laugh QUITE this much. Martin can next be seen as the determined Superintendent Battle in Netflix's new Agatha Christie adaptation, Seven Dials. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 02:22 Dealing with Fame and Anxiety 05:12 The Everyman Label 07:35 Exploring Anger and Authenticity 16:28 Academic Struggles and Early Acting 20:33 Personal Reflections and Family 28:08 Comparing to Heroes 32:15 The Office and Sherlock 40:29 Technology Struggles 44:20 AI Concerns 47:47 Meeting Michael Caine
