Humans are enthralled by stories about murder. And the mysteries we tell these days – like in the Glass Onion films or TV shows like The Residence – often follow a blueprint set by the iconic Agatha Christie. It turns out, Christie knew a whole lot about science. In this episode, we speak to Dr Kathryn Harkup, a chemist who writes about the science behind famous works of literature. Her newest book, V is for Venom: Agatha Christie's Chemicals of Death, is her sequel to A is for Arsenic: The Poisons of Agatha Christie, exploring Christie's expert use of dark chemistry. She tells us about some of the poisons Christie used in her books – the brutal, the medicinal and the obscure – revealing Christie's extensive chemical knowledge.

Morrow discloses that a substantial storyline is set to air in 2-3 weeks and teases that a murder mystery is on the horizon, creating intrigue among the characters of Genoa City. The storyline on the CBS soap opera is rumored to kick off at a grand party hosted by Aristotle Dumas, played by Billy Flynn, at his chateau in France on Friday the 13th.  Y&R sees there are speculations that Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) might also make an appearance. The murder mystery party, reminiscent of an Agatha Christie novel, is set to unravel secrets and crimes of the guests, potentially leading to devastating consequences. Among the attendees, Holden Novak and Amanda Sinclair (Mishael Morgan) are speculated as potential victims due to their expendable nature and lack of recurring appearances. Amanda Sinclair's potential exit aligns with the real-life situation of actress Mishael Morgan residing in Canada.  You are listening to Belynda from Soap Dirt - The most listened to soap opera podcaster.

Do we get the serial killers & heroes we deserve? The always generous literary critic Bethanne Patrick uses five new non-fiction books to respond to this rather absurd question. From French women resisting Nazis at Ravensbrück concentration camp to the CIA's Cold War book smuggling operation, these new books examine human behavior under the most extreme circumstances. Caroline Fraser's Murderland investigates whether environmental toxins in the Pacific Northwest bred serial killers like Ted Bundy, and Maria Blake's They Poison the World explores forever chemicals' deadly impact on the environment. While Kevin Sack's Mother Emanuel offers Charleston's story of African-American forgiveness for the 300-year injustice of slavery and Jim Crow. Together, these books suggest our environment shapes us—sometimes tragically, sometimes triumphantly. a takeaway from each book * The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück - French women's resistance efforts were systematically ignored in post-war recognition, with only 6 women receiving medals compared to 1,100 men, highlighting how women's contributions to liberation movements have been marginalized. Vive La France!* Murderland - Environmental toxicity from lead and arsenic smelting in the Pacific Northwest may have contributed to the region's concentration of serial killers in the 1950s-70s, with cases declining as environmental protections increased.* They Poisoned the World - The highly toxic PFAS "forever chemicals" were originally developed by the U.S. government for uranium processing, later causing widespread contamination linked to cancers, stillbirths, and weakened immune systems.* The CIA Book Club - The CIA successfully smuggled literature behind the Iron Curtain, with people craving not just political texts but also Agatha Christie mysteries and Shakespeare—proving culture, not just politics, sustained resistance.* Mother Emanuel - For Charleston's African-American congregation of Mother Emanuel church, forgiveness after the 2015 massacre wasn't about excusing the killer but about self-preservation—choosing to move forward rather than be consumed by hatred.Bethanne Patrick maintains a storied place in the publishing industry as a critic and as @TheBookMaven on Twitter, where she created the popular #FridayReads and regularly comments on books and literary ideas to over 200,000 followers. Her work appears frequently in the Los Angeles Times as well as in The Washington Post, NPR Books, and Literary Hub.

"Actor's Blood," broadcast on Suspense on August 24, 1944, marks the second appearance of the distinguished actor Fredric March on the program. This gripping play is an adaptation of a short story by the acclaimed writer Ben Hecht, who also serves as the narrator, adding a layer of intrigue to the unfolding events. The narrative centers around a peculiar dinner party meticulously orchestrated as a trap to unmask the individual responsible for the murder of a celebrated actor's daughter. The premise evokes a compelling blend of the supernatural tension found in the tale of Banquo's ghost and the intricate whodunit mysteries characteristic of Agatha Christie's novels, all set against the glamorous backdrop of Tinseltown.Intriguingly, recordings from both the east and west network broadcasts of "Actor's Blood" have been preserved, offering a unique opportunity to compare the two presentations. A subtle difference exists in their closing remarks: the east network recording references "next Thursday," pinpointing a specific date, while the west network recording more generally mentions "next week." While the east recording is considered to have slightly superior audio quality, both versions are reported to be in good condition, allowing listeners to fully appreciate the performances and the atmospheric sound design that was a hallmark of Suspense."Suspense" was a radio drama series that captivated audiences from 1940 through 1962 during the Golden Age of Radio. Often subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills," this program was a shining example of suspense thriller entertainment. It specialized in delivering heart-pounding stories, typically featuring some of the leading Hollywood actors of its era. With an impressive total of approximately 945 episodes aired over its lengthy run, "Suspense" remains an enduring classic, with over 900 episodes still in existence.TakeawaysTheater has a rich history of dramatic storytelling.Marsha Tilliou's legacy is intertwined with her father's.The concept of a ghostly banquet serves as a narrative device.Suspense is built through the gathering of suspects.The emotional weight of familial relationships is explored.The play critiques the superficiality of the theater world.Marsha's murder is a catalyst for the unfolding drama.The narrative reveals the complexities of love and betrayal.The ending challenges perceptions of guilt and responsibility.The story emphasizes the impact of unresolved grief.Actors Blood, Ben Hecht, Frederick March, theater, murder mystery, suspense, Marsha Tilliou, ghost, banquet, drama
