“They all did it. They're all guilty.” — Amy LittlefieldWho killed Roe? Amy Littlefield, the abortion access correspondent at The Nation and big time Agatha Christie fan, has written a true crime book about it. Literally. Killers of Roe treats the death of the constitutional right to abortion as a murder mystery in the Poirot or Miss Marple tradition, complete with suspects, motives, and a forensic reconstruction of the 50-year crime scene. The suspects have Christie-style names: the Racist (Jesse Helms), the Little Brother (James Buckley), the Devout Bureaucrat (Paul Herring), the Closeted Congressman (Bob Bauman), and of course Mr Hyde Amendment himself, Henry Hyde — six foot three, helmet of white hair, serial groper of women who ensured poor women lost access first.The Hyde Amendment is where the crime begins: 1976, a ban on federal funding of abortion. If you're poor, the Supreme Court ruled, that's your problem. The constitutional right exists, but don't expect anyone to pay for it. Surprise surprise. Black women, low-income women, women on Medicaid understood immediately. Democrats and mainstream pro-choice groups took longer to notice. By which time the damage was done — and the playbook established: chip away at access rather than try to ban it outright.Littlefield is more Miss Marple than Poirot — unassuming, persistent, sitting with her suspects for hours until they tell her why they did it. The devout bureaucrat, Paul Herring, spent their interviews trying to convert her to Catholicism. Henry Hyde made a pass at the president of Planned Parenthood during a commercial break on the Phil Donahue show. Bob Bauman — closeted, adopted, alcoholic — confessed to her that his anti-abortion politics may have come from identifying with the unwanted fetus, because that could have been him. These are complicated people doing terrible things for reasons they believe are righteous.And the ending? Littlefield steals it from Murder on the Orient Express. They all did it. Every suspect is guilty — including the Democrats who failed to defend poor women, and the pro-choice movement that didn't fight hard enough for the most vulnerable. Since the Dobbs decision in 2022: 59 excess pregnancy-associated deaths, 500 additional infant deaths, 22,000 additional births. The numbers aren't a Miss Marple mystery. The crime is ongoing. And Trump, who declared himself “very pro-choice” before he appointed the justices who drove the final nail in, is the ultimate opportunist — a fat, orange haired version of Hyde. Murder on the Abortion Express. They all did it. All the men, at least. Five Takeaways• The Hyde Amendment Is Where the Crime Begins: 1976. A ban on federal funding of abortion. Poor women lost access first. Black women, women on Medicaid understood immediately. Democrats and mainstream pro-choice groups took longer to notice. By which time the playbook was established.• The Anti-Abortion Movement Stole the Language of Civil Rights: White conservatives who didn't want to think about the harms of white supremacy found an escape valve: their own civil rights movement, with the fetus — almost always imagined as white — as the victim.• The Suspects Are Complicated. The Crime Is Not: Henry Hyde groped women during commercial breaks. Bob Bauman — closeted, adopted, alcoholic — identified with the unwanted fetus. Paul Herring tried to convert Littlefield to Catholicism. Complicated people, terrible consequences.• The Numbers Are Real: Since the Dobbs decision in 2022: 59 excess pregnancy-associated deaths. 500 additional infant deaths. 22,000 additional births. The crime is ongoing.• They All Did It: Littlefield steals her ending from Murder on the Orient Express. Every suspect is guilty — including the Democrats who failed to defend poor women, and the pro-choice movement that didn't fight hard enough for the most vulnerable. All the men, at least. About the GuestAmy Littlefield is the abortion access correspondent at The Nation. Her new book is Killers of Roe: My Investigation into the Mysterious Death of Abortion Rights. She is based in Boston.References:• Killers of Roe by Amy Littlefield — the book under discussion.• The Hyde Amendment (1976) — the ban on federal funding of abortion that first stripped access from poor women on Medicaid.• The Helms Amendment — Jesse Helms' restriction on abortion funding abroad through USAID, leading to thousands of preventable deaths worldwide.• Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022) — the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.• Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie — the structural model for Littlefield's conclusion: they all did it.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Agatha Christie said, “A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” At least, that's what we expect from a mother when it comes to the love of her child. But what if the child is what stands in the path of the mother? Will she still be protective, or will she become the thing the child needs protection from?

Dolly Oesterreich's Hidden LoverJump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionEpisode 468 is what Agatha Christie would call a "locked room" murder. In 1922 Los Angeles, Fred Oesterreich seems to have been murdered by a ransacking intruder. The problem: The house was locked up tight when the police arrived with the dead man on the floor and his wife locked in a closet. No signs of forced entry. Eight years would pass before the world learns the truth of Dolly Osterreich's kept man. Not a euphemism. She literally kept a man in her attic.Hear More Stories About LOVE TRIANGLES GONE AWRYBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries.

In today's episode, we leave the dockyards and engine rooms behind to step aboard the ocean liner as it appears not at sea, but on the page. From the gilded salons of Edwardian fiction to the psychological depths of modernist prose, ocean liners have long served as floating stages for human drama, capturing the hopes, tensions, and contradictions of the modern age. We explore how writers such as E.M. Forster, Noël Coward, Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, and Agatha Christie used these vast ships as microcosms of society—places where class, desire, ambition, and anxiety collided in close quarters. Christie's fascination with liners, in particular, reveals how perfectly they lent themselves to closed-circle mysteries: isolated worlds where familiar social types gather, secrets simmer, and violence quietly waits beneath the surface. The conversation ranges from glamour and luxury to migration and the uneasy faith in progress that defined the early twentieth century. Ocean liners emerge as symbols of empire and innovation, but also of displacement, vulnerability, and transition—spaces where identities could shift and certainties dissolve. To find out more Dr Sam Willis is joined by the brilliant Professor Faye Hammill, whose work illuminates why these ships so powerfully shaped literary imagination, and why they continue to haunt it today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Hercule Poirot can't resist a case, even when holidaying in Brighton with his dutiful friend, Captain Hastings. When a precious pearl necklace vanishes from a locked hotel room, a puzzling case of deduction ensues for the Belgian detective. The seventh short story from Agatha Christie's collection, Poirot Investigates features acclaimed DC actor and vocal artist David Bryan Jackson, along with musical renditions of Irving Berlin's classic “Puttin' on the Ritz,” by Chicago trumpeter Markus Rutz and his musical collaborator on the keys, Adrian Ruiz.

Ein Londoner Fabrikbüro Anfang der 1970er Jahre. Männer sitzen in der Teepause zusammen, klagen über Bauchschmerzen, über Übelkeit, über seltsame Taubheit in den Fingern. Einer verliert büschelweise Haare. Die Ärzte sprechen von Magen-Darm, von Infektionen, von Zufall. Niemand denkt an Mord. Bis sich ein Arzt an einen Roman erinnert. An eine Geschichte über ein fahles Pferd. Über Hexerei, die in Wahrheit Chemie ist. Über ein Gift, das lautlos wirkt, farb- und geschmacklos. Thallium. Und plötzlich wird aus Literatur Beweismaterial. In dieser Folge von BRITPOD - England at its best nehmen Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling einen der erstaunlichsten Fälle britischer Kriminalgeschichte unter die Lupe. Denn tatsächlich beschreibt Agatha Christie in „The Pale Horse“ die Symptome einer Thallium-Vergiftung so präzise - Haarausfall, Erbrechen, Lähmungserscheinungen -, dass Jahre später genau dieses Wissen hilft, einen realen Serienmörder zu entlarven. Der Täter heißt Graham Young. Ein hochbegabter, besessener Chemie-Enthusiast, der schon als Jugendlicher mit Giften experimentiert und später als „Teetassen-Mörder“ in die Geschichte eingeht. In einer Fabrik nördlich von London mischt er seinen Kollegen systematisch Thallium in den Tee. Zwei sterben, Dutzende erkranken. Erst die Erinnerung an Christies Roman bringt Ermittler auf die richtige Spur. Es folgt ein medizinischer Durchbruch: Erstmals gelingt es Toxikologen, Gift sogar in menschlicher Asche nachzuweisen. Doch die Geschichte endet nicht dort. In Südamerika überlebt ein Mann nur deshalb, weil eine Leserin die Symptome aus „The Pale Horse“ wiedererkennt. Wenig später wird im Londoner Hammersmith Hospital ein Kleinkind gerettet - eine Krankenschwester hatte den Christie-Roman gelesen und die richtigen Schlüsse gezogen. Wie eng war Agatha Christie an den realen Ermittlungen ihrer Zeit? Warum faszinierte sie das lautlose Töten mit Gift? Und wie konnte ein Kriminalroman tatsächlich Leben retten?

Matt and Dawn are joined by TV fan Mo Walker, to review four new shows available to watch this week. Firstly, Lisa McGee, the creator of Derry Girls is back with a brand new twisty comedic thriller in Netflix's surprising series, How to Get to Heaven of Belfast. Next, also set in Ireland, the foursome watch the gentle drama, The Walsh series. The series is the sort of family kitchen sink drama that the team are always hoping TV would return to, but does the RTE series deliver for them? Next, ITV has a new true story four-parter for Sunday nights. The Lady, about the mystery surrounding The Dutchess of York's dresser. The series is elevated by strong lead performance from Mia Mckenna Bruce who was last seen elevating Netflix's Agatha Christie adaptation, The Seven Dials. Lastly, Dawn struggles to get through Channel 4's docudrama, Dirty Buisness which takes a dramatic look at water companies polluting Britain's waterways.
The smackdown by America's Supreme Court was resounding: the bulk of Donald Trump's tariffs were instituted illegally. He will try to rebuild his tariff wall, brick by brick—creating a new crop of winners and losers.

And why Agatha Christie's prolific output is so enduringly popular.Guests and host:Rachana Shanbhogue, business-affairs editorAaron Connelly, Asia diplomatic editorJon Fasman, senior culture correspondentJason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”Topics covered: America's Supreme Court, Donald Trump, tariffsAustralian politics, Pauline HansonAgatha ChristieGet a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.

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.
Se è vero che il design italiano più autentico nasce dal rapporto di lavoro e di fiducia tra creativi e industria, Deanna Ferretti Veroni ne è la prova vivente.Nata a Reggio Emilia, Deanna ha iniziato a lavorare a maglia negli anni '60, arrivando a fondare un'azienda, Miss Deanna, che ha concretizzato le idee di Kenzo, Martin Margiela, Giorgio Armani, Krizia, Valentino e molti altri. Lasciata l'industria, nel 2005 avvia con la figlia Sonia Veroni la Modateca Deanna, un centro di ricerca e archivio della maglieria unico al mondo, dove ricerca, archivi e formazione vanno di pari passo.Incontriamo la signora Deanna a Roma, presso la sede dell'Accademia Costume & Moda, per parlare di industria, di creatività e di lavoro - tanto lavoro - ma di quello che si porta avanti a braccetto con l'innovazione e il divertimento.---------I link dell'episodio:- Il sito di Modateca Deanna https://www.modatecadeanna.it- Il documentario “Italian Genius - Deanna Ferretti Veroni” su RaiPlay https://bit.ly/4rTdxtA - Il documentario “Griffé Kenzo” che racconta il rapporto tra Kenzo e Deanna Ferretti Veroni https://bit.ly/3OrGUVm - Il Master Creative Knitwear Design di Modateca Deanna con Accademia Costume & Moda https://bit.ly/466M2EC- I romanzi di Agatha Christie https://bit.ly/4qIQNvs
„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.

"Kein Mucks!" – der Krimi-Podcast mit Bastian Pastewka (Neue Folgen)
Nach einem fröhlichen Abend, finden vier Freunde nachts den Haustürschlüssel nicht. Sie beschließen über einen Kohleaufzug einzusteigen, irren sich dabei in der Etage und landen prompt in einer fremden, stockdunklen Wohnung, in der etwas Grausiges auf sie wartet. Detektiv Hercule Poirot muss ihnen helfen, diesen mysteriösen Fall aufzuklären. Zum 50. Todestag von Agatha Christie, 15.09.1890–12.01.1976, präsentiert Bastian Pastewka dieses Hörspiel, das auf der vielleicht besten Kurzgeschichte von Agatha Christie aus dem Jahr 1929 beruht. Bastian Pastewka präsentiert: Tot im dritten Stock Von Agatha Christie Mit Felix von Manteuffel, Friedhelm Ptok, Jürgen Holtz, Stephanie Kämmer u.a.

Fox's new drama Memory Of A Killer, about a hitman in denial about his serious memory loss, stars Patrick Dempsey, so naturally we had to invite Dan Cassino, one of our most dedicated Grey's Anatomy fans, to discuss whether you should add a reminder to your calendar to watch it, or immediately forget it exists. Around The Dial takes us through The Beauty, a roundup of cozy British and international mysteries including Midsomer Murders and Agatha Christie's Seven Dials (among others), and Wrestlers. Emilymae makes the case for inducting Crash Landing On You's 12th episode into The Canon.

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
