Podcasts about gentleman detective

Hello Gentlepeople! We here at The Manderville Minute have been covering the amazing work of Manderville Family in all facets of Ul'dah life, and this time we have decided to tackle the most gentlemanly of gentlemen: Hildibrand Helidor Maximillian Manderville. He is a Manderville Man that can only do what a Manderville can, as he travels the realm as a self-titled “agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire” alongside his assistant, Nashu Mhakaracca. Now wait just a gosh darn moment… No, what do you mean this about an MMORPG called Final Fantasy XIV? No, this is an audio recording all about one of our great Thanalan heroes! Perish the thought that this could be about some mere game.Spoiler Levels: Truffles à la Manderville! This is a sweet and fluffy episode. We do talk about all sorts of the events that you can find in the various Hildibrand Adventures in Final Fantasy XIV, up to and including the events and trial in Patch 6.55. While we don't get into too much MSQ talk… If you want to go into Hildibrand completely unsullied, this is your warning.Manderville NotesHope you all enjoyed the episode!

Before noir and the pulp detective, we had the gentleman detective. Urbane, witty, often an amateur, he drew from literary sources like Edgar Allen Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Agatha Christie. And few embodied him with as much verve and charisma as William Powell, the star of our first two movies for the season - Private Detective 62 and The Thin ManRecommendations:Tristan - Parallel MothersFred - Funeral Parade of RosesWritten & Produced by Tristan Johnson & Fred PelzerA Strange Phantom ProductionMusic by Kevin MacLeod.Learn more about us or follow us on Letterboxd

When everybody's favorite junior boy detective drops by, its usually good for a twist of a certain tail, and our Square-Jawed hero kind of enjoys that, kind of like a mean kid who pulls the wings off flies. But even a bird-dog job courtesy of the Gentleman Detective is tough to smile at when it comes wrapped in... Hush Money!

To say that Jack and Trixie were surprised to get a call from Braithwaites, the biggest spit-and-polish detective agency in town, was putting it mildly. But to be invited to dine with the Gentleman Detective himself at his Club? That's just downright shocking - or at least very very suspicious. But if Big Larry Braithwaite thinks he can con Jack Justice into taking a train wreck of a case off his hands by stuffing our hero so full of prime rib that he can't see straight... well... yeah, that'll probably work.

Rennie Airth's gentleman detective John Madden investigates serial killer cases long before the phrase ‘serial killer' was ever coined, in a police procedural series that paints a riveting picture of a post war Britain in turmoil. Hi there I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and today Rennie talks about having lunch with his hero Graham Greene and why he learnt more from writing a bad book than a good one. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: How First World War family history influenced his work Why  1914 - 18 was the hinge to the modern era How he came to go to a baseball game with Fidel Castro And to lunch with his hero Graham Greene The writers he admires most What he'd do differently second time around Where to find Rennie Airth:  Website: http://www.rennieairth.net/ What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word, but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny: And now, here's Rennie. .  Hello there Rennie and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us. Rennie: It's very nice to be talking with you Jenny. Jenny:  Beginning at the beginning - was there a “Once Upon A Time” moment when you decided you wanted to write fiction?  And if there was a catalyst, what was it? Rennie Airth - Mystery author Rennie: That's an interesting question. Well I actually always wanted to write fiction. When I was at school, I always thought of myself as one day being a writer, but I hadn't got anything to write about. So I went into journalism. I had actually, a very interesting first career. I worked in various parts of the world, but it was when I got to Vietnam - I was working there for Reuters, and I'd done a stint there - it was a matter of either staying with Reuters, and going to some other possibly interesting place or looking for a job in a newspaper. Or, doing what I actually wanted to do now for some years; write fiction. So I quit Reuters and went to Crete where I had some sort of connection, I thought I'd write a book there and see how it went. So that's how it started. The book I wrote there was no good; it was never actually published. I actually learnt a lot from writing a bad book I think, even more so than writing one that was successful. But that's what actually got me into writing. Jenny: Was it anything to do with your post in Vietnam that made you think, I want to do this now? Rennie: Not at all. You know, I'd had some very interesting stuff to cover. I'd been in Cuba and met Castro and all those sorts of things. Vietnam was a big story. I'd just wondered if I hadn't actually had that time, and done the best kinds of stories there were, did I want to hang on or was this a moment to break out and write fiction? But it wasn't anything that happened to me in Vietnam, no. Jenny: And why choose historical crime thrillers - or as one critic has described them -  ‘meticulously detailed procedural mysteries' – as your genre? Are you comfortable being described as a “genre” writer in fact? Rennie: No, I don't mind being called a genre writer. I didn't actually sit down with the idea of saying "I'm going to be a genre writer". I got very interested in the First World War and read a lot about it. I just got the idea - it actually came as a two pronged idea. One: to actually write a story set around that time, involving a man who'd been in a war and come out of it. The other- you know serial killers have been very popular in fiction- I thought, how about doing a story about a serial killer before that term was actually coined? People didn't really understand it. So Madden and his superior Chief Inspector have to figure out what is going on. I thought it was a nice challenge to take on. River of Darkness - Rennie Airth Jenny:  On your website you mention that a scrapbook you saw about your uncle, a soldier killed in World War I, inspired River of Darkness . . .
