Long Story Short - Der Buch-Podcast mit Karla Paul und Günter Keil
In dieser Folge wird es familiär und wie immer literarisch vielschichtig. Karla und Günter stellen euch vier Bücher vor, die zeigen, wie schnell Fassaden bröckeln: in der Vorstadt, in der eigenen Familiengeschichte, in der Welt der Vermögenden – und das über mehrere Generationen hinweg.Madeline Cash: „Verlorene Schäfchen“: Die Familie Flynn ist ein schräges, chaotisches Vorstadt-System: drei Töchter, die überall anecken und Eltern in der Midlife-Crisis. Madeline Cash erzählt ihren Debüt-Roman mit Tempo, Witz und einer Wärme, die selbst die dunkelsten Momente überraschend menschlich macht. Anja Jonuleit: „Wo der Wind die Namen trägt“: Mit 85 bekommt Inge Sundermann Post aus der Heimat – und mit ihr kehren Erinnerungen zurück, die sie jahrzehntelang weggesperrt hat. Der Roman erzählt in Rückblicken von einer Kindheit, in der ein Verbrechen und sein Verschweigen einen ganzen Ort bis heute prägen. Ohne Romantisierung, aber mit Sogwirkung und eindrucksvoller Recherche.Florian Scheibe: „Die Verluste“: Ein Patriarch will Millionen in einen privaten Luxusbunker stecken – und plötzlich bricht in der privilegierten Familie Werner alles auf, was lange unter der Oberfläche brodelte. Erbe, Status, alte Kränkungen und Lebenslügen treffen aufeinander, bis eine unausweichliche Konfrontation näher rückt.Mithu Sanyal: „Antichristie“: London 2022: Durga soll Hercule Poirot für eine antirassistische Neuverfilmung adaptieren – und landet dann buchstäblich in einer anderen Zeit. Zwischen 1906, indischen Revolutionären und einem ziemlich entzauberten Gandhi jongliert Sanyal mit Genres und Perspektiven – absurd, klug, politisch und dabei extrem unterhaltsam.Alle Titel dieser Folge:Madeline Cash: "Verlorene Schäfchen" (Penguin)Anja Jonuleit: "Wo der Wind die Namen trägt" (C.Bertelsmann)Florian Scheibe: "Die Verluste" (btb)Mithu Sanyal: "Antichristie" (btb)+++Viel Spaß mit dieser Folge.

Willkommen bei Filmweise! In dieser Woche haben sich Holger, Michael und Rüdiger drei Filme angeschaut, die allerdings einen Serien-Hintergrund haben. Und für "The Mandalorian & Grogu" (29:01) haben sie sogar ihr Sofa verlassen und auf dem Weg zum Kino die Sonne gesehen. Kann der Film den Charme der ersten Staffel von "The Mandalorian" zurückbringen und nach jahrelanger Pause das "Star Wars"-Moratorium im Kino erfolgreich beenden? Den Schritt ins Kino hat sich Prime Video mit "Jack Ryan: Ghost War" (1:03:12) nicht getraut, aber der Film von und mit John Krasinski soll Tom Clancy's Figur drei Jahre nach der letzten Staffel wieder zum Actionhelden machen. Eine gute Wahl? Auch Jon Bernthal legte bei "Punisher: One Last Kill" (49:13) selber Hand an und schrieb das Drehbuch für die Special Presentation bei Netflix. Eine ganze Seite hat er dabei vollgekritzelt, denn 70 Prozent der 50 Minuten bestehen nur aus Actionszenen. Damit aber auch Serienfreunde auf ihre Kosten kommen, haben wir uns die Netflix-Serie "The Boroughs" (3:24) vorgenommen. Die von den Duffer-Brüdern produzierte Serie mit Alfred Molina, Geena Davis und Alfre Woodard wird bereits jetzt gerne als Pensionärs-"Stranger Things" bezeichnet. Aber stimmt das wirklich? Und wäre das etwas Schlechtes? Darüber gibt es zwischen den drei Podcastern deutliche Meinungsdifferenzen. Cold-Open-Frage: "Wen sollte die BBC als neuen Hercule Poirot besetzen?"
Wer war die Frau im Kimono? Wie viel Dreck hatte Cassetti (noch) am stecken? Und wen glaubt Mrs. Hubbard in ihrem Abteil gesehen zu haben? Im unserem dritten Teil von Agatha Christies Mord im Orient-Express geht es richtig zur Sache. Während Hercule Poirot eine lange Reihe von Befragungen vornimmt, bekommen wir eigentlich mehr neue Fragen als Antworten. Wir sind gespannt, wie es weitergeht, und wünschen euch wie immer viel Spaß! --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir weiter in Agatha Christies Mord im Orient-Express (Murder on the Orient Express), und zwar bis einschließlich Teil 2, Kapitel 9 (Das Zeugnis des Mr. Hardman). Das Kapitel endet mit „Eine Beschreibung, die auf niemanden in diesem Zug passt", sagte Poirot.“ Hier findet ihr eine kostenlose, digitale Ausgabe auf Deutsch: https://de.scribd.com/document/712103935/Mord-Im-Orientexpress Und hier geht's zum englischen Original: https://fatimekerimli.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/agatha_christie-murder_on_the_orient_express.pdf --- Unterstütz uns auf Steady für noch mehr Content abseits der Literatur
Our month-long salute to mystery writing legends continues with the queen of crime herself - Agatha Christie. She wrote over sixty novels, dozens of short stories, and created two of the genre's most beloved sleuths - Hercule Poirot, the fastidious and brilliant Belgian detective, and Miss Marple, the kindly amateur investigator. We'll hear four of Dame Agatha's tales recreated for radio: "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" with Orson Welles as Poirot from The Campbell Playhouse (originally aired on CBS on November 12, 1939); "The Tragedy of Marsdon Manner" from Murder Clinic (originally aired on Mutual on October 6, 1942); and "The ABC Murders" and "Where There's a Will" from Suspense (originally aired on CBS on May 18, 1943 and February 24, 1949).
Kaum hat Hercule Poirot endlich seine eigene Kabine im Orient-Express bezogen, da kündigt sich schon Ärger an. Wildes Glockengeläut, Trubel auf dem Gang und ein Schmerzensschrei in der Nacht. Am nächsten Morgen stellt sich heraus: Hercule Poirots Kabinennachbar, der böse aussehende Mister Ratchett, wurde mit zwölf Messerstichen brutal ermordet. Von wegen „Bin nur hingefallen“... Was für ein Glück, dass Monsieur Bouc mit Poirot genau den richtigen Ermittlungsleiter an Bord hat, den er sogleich mit der Lösung des Mysteriums beauftragt. Die Investigation beginnt mit der Leiche am Tatort. --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir weiter in Agatha Christies Mord im Orient-Express (Murder on the Orient Express), und zwar von Teil 1, Kapitel 8 (Der Entführungsfall Armstrong) bis einschließlich Teil 2, Kapitel 4 (Das Zeugnis der Dame aus Amerika).

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met schrijver en podcastmaker Chris Bajema. Na De mosterdmoorden komt Bajema met een nieuw boek: Het moordcollege. Bajema laat hierin de geschiedenis zien van het misdaadverhaal. Hoe het genre zich de afgelopen twee eeuwen heeft ontwikkeld, van de eerste locked-room-misdaadvertelling van Edgar Allan Poe via de klassieke detective-personages Sherlock Homes en Hercule Poirot naar de vele thrillergenres anno nu. Chris Bajema is schrijver, prijswinnend podcastmaker en theatermaker. Voor zijn podcast Man met de microfoon maakte hij eerder een serie over het misdaadverhaal.
Nous retrouvons dans cet épisode Hercule Poirot pour une nouvelle enquête a postériori dans Mrs McGinty est morte.Mrs McGinty, une vieille femme sans histoire, est retrouvée assassinée. Tout désigne comme coupable James Bentley, son peu sympathique locataire et celui-ci est rapidement condamné. Cependant, le commissaire Spence chargé de l'enquête, reste troublé par l'affaire même après le verdict condamnant à mort Bentley. Il décide donc de faire appel à son ami Hercule Poirot pour s'assurer qu'aucune erreur n'a été commise. Et, comme souvent sous le regard de Poirot, ce qui semblait évident se fissure peu à peu, révélant un village plein de secrets. C'est Mélody qui nous tient compagnie et vous pourrez retrouver sa douce voix ici mais aussi sur Instagram ou encore en doublage de reportages sur Arte.Toutes nos informations sur le linktree d'Agatha Chrimstie Agatha Crimstie est un podcast du label Podcut.

Au cours de l'histoire de l'art, le nu artistique s'est fait le reflet des mœurs de chaque époque. Qu'il soit adulé, censuré ou provocateur, la perception du nu change au fil des siècles. S'il est admiré pendant l'Antiquité, il sera censuré à cause de la pensée chrétienne au Moyen-Age, puis revalorisé pendant la Renaissance. La nudité dans l'art inspirera tous les courants suivants, du maniérisme au naturalisme, et, plus qu'un thème, il deviendra un genre à partir du XVIIIe siècle. Le nu est-il est un motif récurrent dans l'histoire de l'art ? Comment la société influence-t-elle les représentations ? Le nu est-il encore censuré aujourd'hui ?

Si le chanteur le plus célèbre de l'histoire a été relié à de nombreuses rumeurs, celle de la réalité de son existence est à voir sous différents angles. Dans cet épisode, on revient sur cette folle rumeur. Si cette question peut faire sourire certains, elle n'est pas juste à prendre au pied de la lettre. La question a d'ailleurs été traitée en long et en large par Amélie Dalmazzo dans son livre Michael Jackson n'a jamais existé. Que l'on parle de l'homme, du chanteur ou de la légende qu'il représente, il en reste un personnage mystérieux, qui a alimenté de nombreux articles, tant pour son univers unique, pour son talent, mais aussi pour les nombreux faits divers qui l'ont concerné. Pourquoi peut-on dire que Michael Jackson, l'homme, n'a jamais existé ? Pourquoi la légende a-t-elle tué l'homme qu'il était ? Même après sa mort, pourquoi parle-t-on encore d'une légende plus que d'un homme ? Ecoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture".

Agatha Christie har trollbundit världen med sina smarta pusseldeckare, ikoniska karaktärer och sitt eget liv. Hon var en av 1900-talets mest lästa författare och skaparen av tidlösa figurer som Hercule Poirot och Miss Marple. Vi följer Agatha Christies väg från en fantasifull barndom till en hyllad och världsberömd deckardrottning. Vi får höra om hennes succéer, livskriser och det mystiska försvinnandet som fascinerat i generationer. Programmet är en bearbetad version av "Agatha Christie - deckardrottning" från 2025.
Egypt 1937. Master detective Hercule Poirot embarks on a luxurious Nile cruise and uses his incomparable powers of observation and combination to solve the ice-cold murder of the rich heiress Linnet Ridgeway. The classic film is a feast for the senses thanks to the star cast, the setting in Egypt, the clever dialogue and the Oscar-winning costumes. - Ägypten 1937. Meisterdetektiv Hercule Poirot begibt sich auf eine luxuriöse Nilkreuzfahrt und setzt dort seine unvergleichliche Beobachtungs- und Kombniergabe ein, um den eiskalten Mord an der reichen Erbin Linnet Ridgeway aufzuklären. Der Filmklassiker ist ein Fest für die Sinne durch die Starbesetzung, das Setting in Ägypten, die cleveren Dialoge und die Oscar-prämierten Kostüme.
In February 1923, Howard Carter unearthed the tomb of Tutankhamun and fed the '20s zeitgeist an abundance of ancient-world dopamine hits. One writer who picked up on this wave was Agatha Christie, who would return to Egypt five more times in her famous stories. Here, however, she pits Hercule Poirot against a series of sudden deaths at the excavation site of Men-her-Ra's tomb in the Valley of the Kings. As tensions mount and another life hangs in the balance, Poirot must separate myth and whispers of a Pharoah's curse from human greed and murderous methodology. LTP sinks its feet into the soft, deceptive sands of Christie's pocket-size prose in this short episode. Summary@5:00; PIPES@23:00
Eine kalte Winternacht im Dezember 1926. Dichter Nebel liegt über den Hügeln von Surrey, als am Rand von Newlands Corner ein verlassenes Auto entdeckt wird. Die Scheinwerfer aus, im Inneren Mantel und persönliche Gegenstände – doch von der Fahrerin fehlt jede Spur: Agatha Christie. Die Frau, die wie keine andere das Verbrechen literarisch beherrscht. Die Erfinderin von Hercule Poirot und Miss Marple. Die meistverkaufte Krimiautorin aller Zeiten – mit über zwei Milliarden verkauften Büchern, übertroffen nur von Bibel und Shakespeare. Und jetzt ist sie selbst Teil eines realen Kriminalfalls. In dieser Folge BRITPOD CRIME sprechen Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling über eines der rätselhaftesten Kapitel der britischen Kulturgeschichte. Innerhalb weniger Stunden wird aus einem privaten Drama ein nationales Ereignis: Zeitungen überschlagen sich, tausende Menschen suchen nach Christie, Scotland Yard ermittelt. Ein Fall, der wirkt wie aus einem ihrer eigenen Romane. Auch die größten Krimiautoren werden selbst zu Ermittlern: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, der Schöpfer von Sherlock Holmes, sucht mithilfe eines Mediums nach Hinweisen. Der geniale Edgar Wallace entwickelt eigene Theorien zum Verbleib von Christie und auch Dorothy L. Sayers analysiert den Fall. Drei der schärfsten kriminalistischen Köpfe ihrer Zeit stehen vor einem Rätsel, das sie nicht lösen können. Gleichzeitig führt der Fall tief in Christies persönliches Leben. Auf dem Höhepunkt ihres Erfolgs – ihr Roman The Murder of Roger Ackroyd revolutioniert gerade das Genre – zerbricht ihre private Welt: der Tod ihrer Mutter, die Affäre ihres Mannes Archibald Christie, eine Ehe am Abgrund. Elf Tage lang bleibt Agatha Christie verschwunden. Dann taucht sie wieder auf – in einem Kurhotel im nordenglischen Harrogate. Unter falschem Namen. Unauffindbar für eine der größten Suchaktionen der britischen Geschichte. War es ein Nervenzusammenbruch? Flucht? Oder eine Inszenierung, so raffiniert wie ihre eigenen Geschichten? Warum wählt sie ausgerechnet den Namen der Geliebten ihres Mannes? Und wie kann ein realer Kriminalfall selbst die größten Meister des Genres derart ratlos zurücklassen? Ein Rätsel, das bis heute nicht vollständig gelöst ist. BRITPOD CRIME – Englands Mystery Crime Stories! WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken!

Brian Parry is a veteran Chicago-area actor with several decades of experience, currently retired but staying active in the performing arts through his long-standing membership with Redtwist Theater on the city's north side. He was drawn to play Hercule Poirot in Deerfield Theater's production of Murder on the Orient Express because it represented a rare, bucket-list opportunity, a role he felt uniquely suited for given his naturally deep, distinctive voice and age. Brian shared highlights from his career, including standout performances as Willie Loman in Death of a Salesman, Richard Nixon in Frost/Nixon (which moved a Watergate attorney to sympathize with Nixon), and his role in The Cripple of Inishmaan. He also recalled the joy of watching his young son perform in Les Misérables on Broadway. He expressed optimism about live theater's future in the face of AI, arguing that the irreplaceable human tension of a live performance — the possibility that something could go wrong — is something no AI can replicate.Performances at Caruso Auditorium, 1801 Montgomery Rd., Deerfield on:* Thursday, April 9 at 7:30pm* Fridays, April 3 and 10 at 7:30pm* Saturdays, April 4 and 11 at 2:00pm and 7:30pm* Sunday, April 12 at 2:00pmDeerfield TheaterPurchase TicketsWe're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make our upcoming shows a success!

In einem alten Haus in London lebt der kapriziöse Millionär Benedict Farley, berühmt und berüchtigt für seine exzentrischen Eigenheiten. Jede Nacht hat er einen Traum von solcher Intensität und Klarheit, dass er sich genötigt fühlt, Hercule Poirot zu konsultieren.

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.

Sie hat diese wunderbaren und schrulligen Figuren erfunden, die längst zum literarischen Welterbe gehören: Miss Marple und Hercule Poirot. Mehr als zwei Milliarden verkaufte Bücher, damit ist Agatha Christie die erfolgreichste Kriminalschriftstellerin der Literaturgeschichte. Vor 50 Jahren ist sie gestorben, deshalb geht es im SWR Forum um diese selbstbewusste Frau, die gern die Welt bereiste, und deren Bücher bis heute überall auf der Welt gelesen werden, obwohl sie ziemlich weit weg von unserer Gegenwart spielen, fast immer vor viktorianischer Landhauskulisse und in gelangweilten Adelskreisen. Wie also erklärt sich Agatha Christies Erfolg? Und wie schaffen es Poirot und Co, sich auf dem riesigen Krimi-Markt zu behaupten? Gregor Papsch diskutiert mit Dr. Paul Ingendaay –Literaturkritiker; Barbara Sichtermann – Publizistin; Dr. Hans von Trotha – Historiker und Gartenspezialist

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).

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.

Britain serves up a triple shot of absurdity.First, the beloved Mr Men and Little Miss characters join forces with the estate of Agatha Christie to launch a new children's mystery series — turning Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple into cartoon detectives. Is it clever cultural cross-pollination, or simply literary heresy in pastel colours? Then, King Charles III travels to the Vatican to meet Pope Leo XIV, marking the first public prayer between an English monarch and a pontiff in half a millennium. Is it genuine reconciliation or royal diplomacy with incense? Finally, a London woman is fined £150 for pouring her coffee down a street drain — proving once again that Britain can turn caffeine into a crime scene faster than you can say “flat white.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.Supporters get updates on new projects and hot takes on the latest news plus Mark and Pete Extra in depth commentary episodes and Mark and Pete vs AI comedy episodes.

Aladin, Shéhérazade, Ali Baba, Sinbad le Marin… Ces personnages font partie de l'imaginaire collectif. Tous, sont issus des contes des Mille et Une Nuits, ces récits inventés par la reine Shéhérazade durant mille et une nuits pour captiver son mari, le roi Shahryar, qui avait la fâcheuse habitude de tuer ses épouses après leur nuit de noces. Chaque matin, elle interrompt son histoire. Le roi doit donc patienter jusqu'à la nuit suivante pour connaître la suite. Grâce à ce procédé, Shéhérazade sauve sa vie et celle d'autres femmes, et invente au passage le principe de cliffhanger. Palais somptueux, tapis volants, trésors vertigineux, autant d'images d'un monde arabe fantasmé. Et pour cause, les Mille et Une Nuits que l'on connaît tous, n'ont peut-être pas les origines que l'on croit. Quelles sont les véritables origines ? Comment les histoires sont-elles arrivées jusqu'à nous ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant, vous savez - Culture". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Jonathan Aupart.

"The real magic lies at the intersection between eating, moving, and sleeping. If you can do all three well, it will improve your daily energy and your odds of living a long, healthy life," That's a quote from Tom Rath, author of Eat Move Sleep. The three most important factors in you becoming more productive, focused and motivated each day.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Don't skip the basics. For me, this was a hard lesson to learn. I used to stay up late to finish work or watch TV. I'd skip my exercise or allow myself to get involved in meetings I didn't really need to attend—just to feel a part of something. And I would eat rubbish—cereal for breakfast, sandwiches and rice or fries for lunch and pizza for dinner. And I felt it. I was tired, unproductive, and did not know where I was going. My weight kept going up and up, and every day felt like a drudge. I would wake up, feel horrible, go to work, come home, collapse onto the sofa, turn on the TV, and escape the real world. It was easy to blame everyone else. My boss, my colleagues, my customers, the weather, where I lived, the company, etc. Yet, it wasn't anyone else's fault. It was mine. I had allowed myself to wallow in self-pity. That was a choice. I cannot say there was a particular moment that changed me. It was more a gradual change. What I learned, though, was that creating an enjoyable, exciting, and fulfilling life started with getting the basics right. And that is what this week' question is all about. What are the basics, and why do they matter? So, with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Ali. Ali asks, hi Carl, my life's a mess. I stay up all night watching TV or YouTube videos, and then wake up late and have to rush to get to work. Then at work I feel tired and unmotivated all day. What can I do to have some better habits? Hi Ali, thank you for your question. The first step would be to read James Clear's Atomic Habits. It's a brilliant book, that explains how habits work, how to create your own and does all that in a simple step by step approach. The next step is to understand some time tested basics. One of the many reasons why anyone would feel demotivated about the day is they are not clear on what is important to them. Not everyone wants to be supremely fit and sporty and that's fine. You don't have to be. But it's equally true no one wants to die prematurely. As Steve Jobs said in his famous commencement address in 2006 "No one wants to die... even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there" To find your purpose, or simply the motivation to jump out of bed each morning go through the Areas of Focus workbook. It's free and you can download it from my website. This will give you the eight areas of life that should be in balance. Those eight are: Family and relationships Career or business Health and fitness Finance Lifestyle and life experiences Self development Spirituality Life's purpose Now, when I say in balance, it means defining what each one means to you. For example, for your finances area of focus could be something as simple as “I live within my means and not over spend on trivial things” or your lifestyle and life experiences could be “I live in a clean and tidy home”. Getting these eight basics of life in balance will give you some purpose each day. Living in a clean and tidy home may mean that before you leave to go to work, you make your bed and wash the dishes. To keep your finances in check, you may decide to do a weekly or monthly budget to track how you are spending your money. That becomes a habit. It's a must-do. None of these takes a lot of time, but they help to keep your areas of focus in balance. Now onto another important factor. One of the things I've noticed about highly motivated and successful people is they have some structure in their lives. They wake up at the same time each day, they follow a morning routine and have some structure for the rest of the day. That could be exercising at the same time each day or just going for a walk at the end of the day to decompress. Apple's Tim Cook, for example, starts his day with an extremely early wake-up, around 3:45 AM, to read emails from customers and employees before heading to the gym for an hour of exercise. He eats a healthy breakfast, gets coffee, and then begins his workday. I recently wrote about Hercule Poirot, the Agatha Christie detective in many of her novels in my weekly newsletter. Poirot was obsessive, it's true. He was immaculately turned out at all times. Yet he had structure to his days. Breakfast was at the same time each day and he had his famous tisane (a kind of herbal drink) served in the same glass. What draws me to Poirot is that fastidiousness. Nothing was rushed. The only things that ever bothered him was if his routines were interrupted. Perhaps not a good thing, but it did enable him to have a purpose each day. If he was taking a holiday, he refused to entertain any work. He was resting his “little grey cells” and that was the purpose of the holiday. When he was working he was engaged completely. He actions were methodical and deliberate. I know Poirot is a fictional character, but in fictional characters there's always a grain of truth somewhere. Perhaps Poirot's obsessiveness for order and structure, was motivated by someone somewhere. The one thing I've learned is if you're not getting the basics right, then everything else falls apart. The basics are your daily routines. Your sleep schedule, what and when you eat and stepping away from screens and moving. They are not difficult to do, but without one essential ingredient, you won't do them. That ingredient is self-discipline. You need discipline to get out of bed on a cold, wet morning. You need discipline to say no to that plate of unhealthy food, and you need discipline to turn off the TV and go to bed at the right time. I often shy away from advising people to develop their self-discipline because it's hard to do. And these days I find many people have simply given up and just tell themselves they have no self-discipline and that they never have had. They will look back in their lives to find examples and use that to prove it to themselves. Ignoring the fact that there will also have been examples of them being disciplined. It's complete rubbish for anyone to say they lack self-discipline. It's innate and inside all of us. But, like a muscle, if you don't use it, it will weaken. But never disappear entirely. Strengthening your self-discipline isn't particularly difficult. As Admiral McRaven said in his Texas University Commencement address—begin the day by making your bed. Is that so difficult? It's one thing, but it's the start of strengthening your self discipline. Now you mentioned that you want better habits. What would you consider to be “better habits”? That would be the place to start. I've never been a good sleeper—as a consequence I fell into the trap of believing it was “just the way I was wired”. Of course, that's not true. In January I made a commitment to myself I would be in bed no later than midnight. It was a struggle, but I persisted. Now, nine months later, I'm in bed consistently at midnight and my sleep is better than ever. It took a bit of self-discipline for the first week or two, but soon it was a habit. Changing your sleep habit is straight forward. Calculate how much sleep you need, then decide what time you want to wake up, and work backwards. So, if you discover that you need seven hours sleep and you want to wake up at 7:00 am, then you need to be in bed by 11:30 pm. (It's not like we instantly fall asleep when we get into bed) Another thing you mentioned, Ali, is you lack motivation at work. That may be a bigger issue. If work is demotivating you, it's also draining you of purpose. That's where I would spend some time analysing. When your purpose is drained, that has a big effect on your mental energy. What is it about your work that is demotivating? If it's just a stage—we all go through that at times—what can you do to find some purpose. Perhaps you could set yourself a target. Sell X amount of products, solve a particularly difficult problem for your team or do something to improve your own workflows and processes. If it's bigger than that and it's about the job itself, then it may be time to begin looking at alternative jobs. It doesn't mean you have to quit your current job, what it means is you begin looking at alternatives. What kind of work would motivate you? It's perfectly okay to accept that you made a mistake in your choice of career. That does not mean you are stuck with that mistake. You can change careers at any time. I've been a hotel manager, car salesperson, a lawyer and teacher. The hardest part for me was accepting that the legal profession was not for me. I'd spent six years in school and training, but after graduating and working in a law office, I soon found myself hating it. I felt I was in a day release prison. I had to sign in at 9:00 each morning and was not allowed to leave until 5:30 pm. During that time it felt I was chained to a desk only being allowed to move to go to the bathroom. It was hard to accept I had made a monumental mistake. But the thought spending the next twenty-five years stuck behind a desk was terrifying. I had to change my career. That was when I came to Korea—I told myself it would be for one year and during that time I would think about my future. I was lucky, I fell in love with teaching, loved the way of life in Korea and met some amazing people. At the end of the first year, there was no way I was going to go back to the UK. So, when my employer in Korea asked if I wanted to sign an extension to my contract, I ask, where's the pen? Twenty three years later, I'm still here. Doing what I love day in day out. Sometimes, we have to do the unthinkable. I remember my friends telling me I was mad to give up a career in law to become a teacher in a foreign land. But I knew deep down I was not cut out to be a lawyer. So, Ali, take a step back. Ask yourself what needs to change. Do you have the basics right? Are you getting enough sleep, moving enough and eating right? If not, focus your attention there. Build some habits around those three areas. Then look at your career. Are you happy? If not, what alternatives could you look at. Remember, you do not have to quit your job to do this. Perhaps you decide to go back to school and learn a new skill, or simply to change the way you work—you processes and workflows. I should add, you do not have to rush this. Just getting the basics right will bring you better focus and energy. From there you can decide what to do next that will bring some purpose back into your life. I hope that has helped, Ali. Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.

During an archeological expedition to Egypt, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is called upon to investigate the ominous deaths surrounding the opening of a newly discovered tomb. As Poirot, along with his faithful companion, Capt. Hastings, unravels the enigma, he encounters a cast of characters, each with their own motives and secrets. The sixth 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.

Book Vs. Movie: Death on the NileThe 1937 Agatha Christie Novel Vs the 2022 Kenneth Branagh film. Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile has long been a fan favorite, combining romance, betrayal, and murder aboard a glamorous steamer cruising the Nile River. In 2022, director Kenneth Branagh brought the classic mystery back to the big screen with an all-star cast and a modern flair. But how faithful is this adaptation to the original 1937 novel?Branagh (who returns as Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot) updates the cast of characters from the source material and discusses the racial politics of the time more. The director also adds to Poirot's backstory, including his facial hair and past romances, which are not in the book. Between the original novel and the film — did we prefer one over the other? Have a listen to find out!In this episode, the Margos discuss:Agatha Christie & her character of Poirot The differences between the book and the movieThe cast includes: Tom Bateman (Bouc,) Annette Bening (Euphemia Bouc,) Kenneth Branagh (Poirot,) Michael Rouse (Private Laurin,) Alaa Safi (Corporal) Letitia Wright (Rosalie Otterbourne,) Sophie Okonedo (Salome Otterbourne,) Gal Gadot (Linnet Ridgeway,) Jennifer Saunders (Marie Van Schuyler,) Dawn French (Bowers,) and Susannah Fielding as Katharine.

Book Vs. Movie: Evil Under the SunThe Agatha Christie Novel Vs the 1982 FilmAgatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun (1941) is a masterclass in misdirection and suspense. The 1982 film adaptation, directed by Guy Hamilton and featuring Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot, transforms the story into a glamorous whodunit set in a sun-soaked Mediterranean locale. Both versions center around the murder of actress Arlena Stuart at a resort, with Poirot reluctantly drawn into the investigation, uncovering secrets among the guests, each with a motive. While the book is set on a secluded Devon island during World War II, featuring a more introspective tone, the film opts for colorful costumes and picturesque settings, filmed in Mallorca. Poirot in the book is sharp and formal, while Ustinov's portrayal is warmer and more humorous, appealing to some fans for its charm and theatricality.Between the original novel and the film — did we prefer one over the other?
