Podcast appearances and mentions of Agatha Christie

370 - Miss Marple's Christmas mystery concludes here and now. Tuck in, get comfy, and test your theory as to the culprit while Miss Agatha (and a close friend) lead you to the surprising conclusion.

I can pick 'em because what better way to celebrate Christmas Eve than to talk about an island-bound whodunnit based on an Agatha Christie book?! Director Rene Clair gathered an ensemble cast of acclaimed character actors (including Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston and Judith Anderson) as a stealthy killer exacts sick justice on people accused of murder, using a nursery rhyme as the theme o' death. The book is outstanding and this adaptation is about as good as any of them have been, but there's some misplaced humour and the ending bails on a great premise. Plus, Christie's great story always had some gaps in logic. The film is so good though that it still works. So as you pour some nog and wrap some gifts, tune into my 704th podcast here on Have You Ever Seen to hear about And Then There Were None.

Er hat es aber auch drauf angelegt: Wir wundern uns kaum darüber, dass der alte Simeon Lee im zweiten Teil von Agatha Christies Hercule Poirots Weihnachten einen kleinen „Unfall“ erleidet – schade! Wir sind uns ziemlich sicher, dass Simeon sein (scheinbares?) Ableben genau durchgeplant hat. Jetzt hat endlich auch Hercule Poirot seinen großen Auftritt. Gemeinsam mit den Polizisten Johnson und Sugden untersucht der den Tatort und stellt schnell einige Ungereimheiten fest. Wurde Simeon Lee vielleicht in sienem Plan unterbrochen?

Ein Jahr voller starker Bücher geht zu Ende – da war die Auswahl für die Geschenktipps eine echte Herausforderung für Günter und Karla. Hier ihre 10 Tipps für Büchergeschenke unterm Christbaum: Ein großartiger Mutmacher ist das Buch „Mein Unglück beginnt damit, dass der Stromkreis als Rechteck abgebildet wird” von Saša Stanišić. Darin sind – gehaltene und ungehaltene – Reden gegen das Nichtstun und für die Eigenverantwortung gesammelt. Für kleine Leser*innen ist „Mittwochs surft der Pinguin“ von Johanna Prinz ein liebevolles, lustiges und lehrreiches Leseabenteuer zum Vorlesen. Pinguin Darwin ruft seine Freunde zur Rettungsaktion für ein paar im Eis eingeschlossene Wale auf. Buddhist Manfred Folkers und Volkswirt Niko Paech haben mit „All you need is less” ein Plädoyer für weniger Konsum und mehr Kooperation geschrieben. Ihre zwei unterschiedlichen Perspektiven ergeben ein unterhaltsames Manifest für eine Kultur des Genug. Bei Krimi-Lesern kommt der neue Håkan Nesser garantiert gut an. „Eines jungen Mannes Reise in die Nacht“ ist der neunte Fall von Kommissar Gunnar Barbarotti. Zwei Morde stellen ihn und seine Frau Eva Backman vor ein schier unlösbares Rätsel. Agatha Christie-Fans kommen hingegen mit „Der Mord in der Schlange” von Josephine Tey voll auf ihre Kosten. Im London der 20er Jahre wird in der Schlange vor einem Theater ein Mann erdolcht. Der erste Fall für Inspector Grant von Scotland Yard. Der opulente Bildband des Fotografenehepaars Peter & Beverly Pickford „Wilder Ozean“ ist eine Hommage an die ungezähmte Natur der Weltmeere. Spektakuläre Fotos und eine klare Botschaft zur Bewahrung dieser unersetzlichen Welt. Noch ein Mutmacher in Krisenzeiten: Das Buch „Hoffnungslos optimistisch” des Wissenschaftsjournalisten Dirk Steffens verbreitet Zuversicht und lenkt den Blick auf Lösungen statt auf Probleme. Eine gute Einstellung fürs neue Jahr. In „Das Beste! Mein Leben zwischen Pubertieren“ erzählt Jan Weiler absurde und witzige Geschichten, in denen die Welten der Pubertiere und der Erwachsenen kollidieren. Das Hörbuch ist perfekt für lange Autofahrten mit der ganzen Familie. Drachen, Liebe und Spice – „This Woven Kingdom” von Tahereh Mafi ist der Auftakt einer 5-teiligen Fantasy-Serie mit Suchtfaktor. Für Leser*innen ab 14 Jahren, die für ein paar Stunden der Realität entfliehen möchten. „Wir dachten, wir könnten fliegen“ ist eine Sammlung von 19 Kurzgeschichten über bedrohte Tierarten, verfasst von renommierten Schriftsteller*innen, darunter Caroline Wahl, T.C. Boyle, Alex Capus, Iris Wolf und Julia Schoch. Ein echter Geheimtipp für Vielleser*innen – dieses Buch kennen sie sicher noch nicht!

After director Rian Johnson finished making “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” he didn't really know how to follow it up. So he decided to bang out a really quick murder mystery script. The result was his 2019 film “Knives Out,” which led to the 2022 sequel “Glass Onion,” which has now led to the third and final film of the trilogy, “Wake Up Dead Man.” Rian sits down with Tom Power to discuss his latest “Knives Out” movie, the genius and influence of mystery writer Agatha Christie, and how he thinks his religious upbringing has helped the success of his films.

We all know the formula: it begins with a dead body, and quickly introduces a motley crew of outlandish characters, each with a motive for murder. The whodunnit genre has been a cultural fixture since the days of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie—the latter of whom has been outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Recently, though, the murder mystery has achieved a new level of saturation, with streaming services offering up a seemingly endless supply of glossy thrillers. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss how these new entries are updating the classic form. “Wake Up Dead Man,” the latest of Rian Johnson's “Knives Out” movies, slyly incorporates social commentary, while shows like “Search Party” and “Only Murders in the Building” poke fun at the figure of the citizen sleuth. In our era of conspiracy theories and vigilante actors, there's also a dark side to the archetype. “This desire to be the hero and to follow the logical trails and take things into your own hands—it's very appealing, if you do it right,” Schwartz says. “It's great if you catch the right guy. If you don't, and you catch the wrong one, the entire foundation of society crumbles.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Knives Out” (2019)“Glass Onion” (2022)“Wake Up Dead Man” (2025)“Big Little Lies” (2017-)“The White Lotus” (2021-)“And Then There Were None,” by Agatha Christie “Rian Johnson Is an Agatha Christie for the Netflix Age,” by Anna Russell (The New Yorker)“The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side: A Miss Marple Mystery,” by Agatha Christie“Only Murders in the Building” (2021-)“Nicole Kidman Gives Us What We Want in the Silly, Soapy ‘Perfect Couple,' ” by Vinson Cunningham (The New Yorker)“The Residence” (2025)“The Adventure of the Speckled Band,” by Arthur Conan Doyle“Search Party” (2016-22)“The Hound of the Baskervilles,” by Arthur Conan DoyleThe “Encyclopedia Brown” books“Clue” (1985)New episodes drop every Thursday.

This week we talk about in-game skins, investment portfolios, and Counter-Strike 2.We also discuss ebooks, Steam, and digital licenses.Recommended Book: Apple in China by Patrick McGeeTranscriptAlmost always, if you buy an ebook or game or movie or music album online, you're not buying that ebook, or that game, or whatever else—you're buying a license that allows you access it, often on a specified device or in a specified way, and almost always in a non-transferrable, non-permanent manner.This distinction doesn't matter much to most of us most of the time. If I buy an ebook, chances are I just want to read that ebook on the device I used to buy it, or the kindle attached to my Amazon or other digital book service account. So I buy the book, read it on my ebook reader or phone, and that's that; same general experience I would have with a paperback or hardback book.This difference becomes more evident when you think about what happens to the book after you read it, though. If I own a hard-copy, physical book, I can resell it. I can donate it. I can put it in a Little Free Library somewhere in my neighborhood, or give it to a friend who I think will enjoy it. I can pick it up off my shelf later and read the exact same book I read years before. Via whichever mechanism I choose, I'm either holding onto that exact book for later, or I'm transferring ownership of that book, that artifact that contains words and/or images that can now be used, read, whatever by that second owner. And they can go on to do the same: handing it off to a friend, selling it on ebay, or putting it on a shelf for later reference.Often the convenience and immediacy of electronic books makes this distinction a non-issue for those who enjoy them. I can buy an ebook from Amazon or Bookshop.org and that thing is on my device within seconds, giving me access to the story or information that's the main, valuable component of a book for most of us, without any delay, without having to drive to a bookstore or wait for it to arrive in the mail. That's a pretty compelling offer.This distinction becomes more pressing, however, if I decide I want to go back and read an ebook I bought years ago, later, only to find that the license has changed and maybe that book is no longer accessible via the marketplace where I purchased it. If that happens, I no longer have access to the book, and there's no recourse for this absence—I agreed to this possibility when I “bought” the book, based on the user agreement I clicked ‘OK' or ‘I agree' on when I signed up for Amazon or whichever service I paid for that book-access.It also becomes more pressing if, as has happened many times over the past few decades, the publisher or some other entity with control over these book assets decides to change them.A few years ago, for instance, British versions of Roald Dalh's ‘Matilda' were edited to remove references to Joseph Conrad, who has in recent times been criticized for his antisemitism and racist themes in his writing. Some of RL Stine's Goosebumps books were edited to remove references to crushes schoolgirls had on their headmaster, and descriptions of an overweight character that were, in retrospect, determined to be offensive. And various racial and ethnic slurs were edited out of some of Agatha Christie's works around the same time.Almost always, these changes aren't announced by the publishers who own the rights to these books, and they're typically only discovered by eagle-eyed readers who note that, for instance, the publishers decided to change the time period in which something occurred, which apparently happened in one of Stine's works, without obvious purpose. This also frequently happens without the author being notified, as was the case with Stine and the edits made to his books. The publishers themselves, when asked directly about these changes, often remain silent on the matter.What I'd like to talk about today is another angle of this distinction between physically owned media and digital, licensed versions of the same, and the at times large sums of money that can be gained or lost based on the decisions of the companies that control these licensed assets.—Counter-Strike 2 is a first-person shooter game that's free-to-play, was released in 2023, and was developed by a company called Valve.Valve has developed all sorts of games over the years, including the Counter-Strike, Half-Life, DOTA, and Portal games, but they're probably best known for their Steam software distribution platform.Steam allows customers to buy all sorts of software, but mostly games through an interface that also provides chat services and community forums. But the primary utility of this platform is that it's a marketplace for buying and selling games, and it has match-making features for online multiplayer games, serves as a sort of library for gamers, so all their games are launchable from one place, and it serves as a digital rights management hub, which basically means it helps game companies ensure users aren't playing with pirated software—if you want to use steam to store and launch your games, they have to be legit, purchased games, not pirated ones.As of early 2025, it was estimated that Steam claimed somewhere between 75-80% of the PC gaming market, compared to competitors like the Epic Game Store, which was founded by the folks behind the wildly successful game, Fortnite, which can only claim something like 5%.And Counter-Strike is one of Valve's, and Steam's crown jewels. It's a free-to-play game that was originally developed as a mod, a free add-on to another game Valve owns called Half-Life, but Valve bought up the rights to that mod and developed it into its own thing, releasing the initial entry in the series in 2000, several main-series games after that in subsequent years, and then Counter-Strike 2 came out in 2023, to much acclaim and fanfare.Counter-Strike 2 often has around a million players online, playing the game at any given moment, and its tournaments can attract closer to 1.5 million. As of early 2024, it was estimated that Counter-Strike 2 pulled in around a billion dollars a year for Valve, primarily via what are called Case Keys, which allow players to open in-game boxes, each key selling for $2.50. Valve also takes a 15% cut of all player-to-player sales of items conducted on the Steam Community Market, which is a secure ebay- or Amazon-like component of their platform where players can sell digital items from the game, which are primarily aesthetic add-ons, like skins for weapons, stickers, and clothing—things that allow players to look different in the game, as opposed to things that allow them to perform better, which would give players who spent the most money an unfair advantage and thus make the game less competitive and fun.Because this is a free game, though, and by many estimates a really balance and well-made one, a lot of people play it, and a lot of people want to customize the look of their in-game avatar. So being able to open in-game boxes that contain loot, and being able to buy and sell said loot on the Steam Community Market, has led to a rich secondary economy that makes that component of the game more interesting for players, while also earning Valve a whole lot of money on the backend for those keys and that cut of sales between players.In late-October of 2025, Valve announced a change in the rules for Counter-Strike 2, now allowing players to trade-up more item types, including previously un-trade-up-able items like gloves and knives, into higher-grade versions of the same. So common items could be bundled together and traded in for less common items, and those less common items could be bundled together and traded up for rare ones.This seems like a small move from the outside, but it roiled the CS2 in-game economy, by some estimates causing upwards of $2 billion to basically disappear overnight, because rare gloves and knives were at times valued at as much as $1.5 million; again, these are just aesthetic skins that change the look of a player's avatar or weapons, but there's enough demand for these things that some people are willing to pay that much for ultra-rare and unique glove and knife skins.Because of that demand, some players had taken to spending real money on these ultra-rare items, treating their in-game portfolios of skins as something like an investment portfolio. If you can buy an ultra-rare glove skin for $40,000 and maybe sell it later for twice that, that might seem like a really good investment, despite how strange it may seem to those not involved in this corner of the gaming world to spend $40,000 on what's basically just some code in a machine that tells the game that the gloves on your avatar will look a certain way.This change, then, made those rarer gloves and knives, which were previously unattainable except by lottery-like chance, a lot more common, because people could trade up for them, increasing their chances of getting the ultra-rare stuff. The market was quickly flooded with more of these things, and about half the value of rare CS2 skins disappeared, initially knocking about $6 billion of total value from the market before stabilizing to around $1.5-2 billion.Volatility in this market continues, and people who invested a lot of money, sometimes their life savings, and sometimes millions of dollars into CS2 in-game skins, have been looking into potential legal recourse, though without much luck; Valve's user agreements make very clear that players don't own any of this stuff, and as a result, Valve can manipulate the market however they like, whenever they like.Just like with ebooks and movies we “buy” from Amazon and other services, then, these in-game assets are licensed to us, not sold. We may, at times, have a means of putting our license to some of these things on a secondary market, but that secondary market exists completely at the whim of the entity that actually owns the digital assets—in this case, Valve.Recent court cases have resulted in clearer language from some license-selling companies, including Valve—though in most cases the buttons we click still say something like “Buy Now” rather than “Acquire License,” and the specifics of what we're purchasing are hidden within a wall of legal text.So for the moment, at least, this sort of confusion will probably continue, with periodic wake-up calls for folks on the receiving end of updates or edits that impact them financially, or impact their ability to access what they thought they were buying, but which is later removed from their account, or changed without their knowledge or permission.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_(service)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Corporationhttps://theconversation.com/2b-counter-strike-2-crash-exposes-a-legal-black-hole-your-digital-investments-arent-really-yours-268749https://blix.gg/news/cs-2/how-to-make-money-with-cs2-skins-in-2025/http://tomshardware.com/video-games/ludicrous-usd6-billion-counter-strike-2-skins-market-crashes-loses-usd3-billion-overnight-game-update-destroys-inventories-collapses-markethttps://www.kvue.com/article/news/nation-world/counter-strike-2-online-market-crash/507-ae9be038-2833-49d4-a5b4-d8f24fd0b33chttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strikehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_Storehttps://www.sahmcapital.com/news/content/counter-strike-skins-market-hits-1-billion-valves-virtual-goldmine-revealed-2024-01-22https://mezha.ua/en/news/counter-strike-2-100-mln-dohodu-za-keysi-u-berezni-301011/https://www.morganlewis.com/pubs/2024/10/california-becomes-first-state-to-pass-law-targeting-advertising-of-digital-media-licenseshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_economyhttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/04/arts/dahl-christie-stine-kindle-edited.htmlhttps://bookriot.com/do-you-really-own-your-ebookshttps://jipel.law.nyu.edu/can-you-own-an-ebook-a-summary-of-the-anti-ownership-ebook-economy-report/ This is a public episode.

In this special episode taped live onstage in New York, John interviews his pal Jonathan Freedland – Guardian political columnist and co-host of the Unholy podcast – about his new book, “The Traitor's Circle: The True Story of a Secret Resistance Network in Nazi Germany – and the Spy Who Betrayed Them.” Freedland, the author of nine thrillers under the pen name Sam Bourne, describes how "The Traitor's Circle," like its predecessor “The Escape Artist,” marries rigorous research with the techniques of genre fiction to create a serious work of historical non-fiction that reads like an Agatha Christie mystery. The two also discuss how pop culture has processed the Holocaust, from “Shoah” to “The Odessa Files” and “Inglorious Bastards.” To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Agatha Christie The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding 25-12-06

Massimo Moscati"Il grande libro di Agatha Christie"Mondadori Electawww.mondadorielecta.itQual è il segreto di un successo planetario con oltre due miliardi di copie vendute in tutto il mondo? Qual è l'alchimia irripetibile che non smette di ispirare scrittori, registi, lettori e spettatori? Questo volume ci accompagna in un viaggio appassionante e ricco di rivelazioni che ripercorre la biografia, le opere e la straordinaria eredità della regina del giallo. Il libro non si limita a raccontare la scrittrice, ma esplora le storie dei suoi sessanta romanzi e degli oltre cento racconti e dei suoi protagonisti più celebri, Hercule Poirot e Miss Marple. Descrive poi con molti elementi sorprendenti e curiosità inedite l'enorme impatto degli adattamenti per il grande schermo e la tv, fino alle recenti versioni cinematografiche dirette da Kenneth Branagh. Christie non si è limitata a inventare enigmi, trame ingegnose e finali inattesi: ha creato un mondo in cui la soluzione di un delitto è solo l'inizio di una storia indimenticabile. Il suo è un genio narrativo senza tempo, grazie al quale l'arte del mistero non smette di conquistare generazioni con il fascino intramontabile del giallo classico.Massimo MoscatiTra gli ultimi libri pubblicati: Alain Delon-L'ultimo divo (Bibliotheka), Chaney-La storia straordinaria di due attori di Hollywood (WeirdBook), I western di Sergio Leone-Un'intervista del 1977 (BookTime/La Vita Felice), Charles Bronson, il duro di Hollywood (Shatter), A Los Angeles con Raymond Chandler (BookTime/La Vita Felice), Stefano Sollima, l'autore del “genere” (Shatter), Giuliano Gemma, Angel Face (Falsopiano), Telly Savalas, Kojak il greco ( 96 Rue de-La-Fontaine Edizioni), Lee Van Cleef, il migliore dei cattivi (Le piccole parole), L'altro Sergio – Vita e opere di Sergio Corbucci (Martin Eden), Il Grande Libro di Agatha Christie (Mondadori Electa), Firenze, ciak si uccide (Shatter).È stato script-analyst di Reteitalia (per Carlo Bernasconi), creatore della serie Nero italiano (Mondadori Originals), curatore delle collane Cinema del 900 (Bibliotheka) e CineEuropa (Bibliotheka).

On November 25th, 1952, Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap opened in a still-sooty, post-war London — and never stopped running. London Calling strolls down West Street to tell the tale of the world's longest-running play: its famous first night, the legends behind the “Holman performances,” the stars who got their start, the stubborn little clock that's ticked through seven decades, and why the curtain can never quite fall. A whodunnit that became a what-on-earth-keeps-it-going.

Assassinato no Expresso do Oriente é um clássico de Agatha Christie que todo mundo conhece. A rainha do mistério é provavelmente a escritora mais traduzida no mundo (depois da Bíblia) e não é por acaso: suas obras marcam gerações e sobrevivem ao tempo, com seus investigadores inesquecíveis. Nesta obra, Hercule Poirot ganha uma passagem no Expresso do Oriente, durante suas férias, mas se vê obrigado a investigar um caso de assassinato. O assassino, assim como a vítima, não podem ter ido a lugar algum... tem que estar naquele trem. Para comentar sobre o livro e a adaptação de 2017, Senhor Basso recebe Andrey, Ju Leyva e Luco, seu grupo de RPG de Brindlewood Bay para uma nova minissérie no Perdidos na Estante: dessa vez, nosso especial será analisando os três filmes da trilogia não oficial de Agatha Christie de Kenneth Branagh.
