APHRODITE PART TWO: yes everyone, we're bringing Season Three back with a double episode bang (pun intended)In Part Two, we revisit our little teaser snippet on MythsBaby, and take you on a deep dive of one of the most famous and quoted statues ever, even though she's lost to the depths of history herself – the Aphrodite of Knidos! We take you through the statue and her legacy. Mainly, though, we talk about how she was modelled on a woman. A REAL WOMAN. With dates and everything. Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you Phryne. YOU'RE WELCOME. The fun facts we drop here are some of our favourite, and they'll soon be some of yours too.The androgyny of Aphrodite and the fluidity of sexuality that she represents are our favourite things about the goddess, and they're both aspects of her that are now almost forgotten or, more accurately, specifically been pushed aside in favour of heteronormative sexuality. We leave you with the way in which the classical Greek world eventually managed to reconcile these two aspects of Aphrodite within their rapidly cementing structured misogynistic society, paving the way for the hyper-sexualisation of Aphrodite and her co-option as a symbol for heterosexual love.*shakes fist at thousands of years of repressed patriarchy of (supposedly) yesteryear*

The ladies dig into season 2 of Ms. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries, including whether Peregrine Fisher lives up to her famous aunt Phryne, and what exactly this show is doing with the romance at its center.

Chatting With Sherri welcomes our Miss Fisher Fan Panel! This is a fun chat about all things Phryne we talk about the characters, the clothes, the actors and a the great job of casting that they did on series. We also chat about the scripts and how the fans really miss Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries, We also chat about the movie; Miss Fisher and The Crypt of Tears, how much fun it was and how we love the development of the characters our hopes for a new movie. We also chat about the new spin off Ms. Fisher Moderny Mysteries which is coming back this year! I also have a few surprises that I will let you know about as we get closer to the show! Even the panelists don't know about them!  Also one of the panelists couldn't make so she leaves a message for us and the other fans. I think it will be great fun!      

Sign me up for the MasterClass where Miss Fisher teaches astrolabe reading! And, perhaps camels? While we’re not sure who’s giving those camels rubdowns after the sacking of the cameleer, we have no complaints about the movie physics that result in Phryne launching out of quicksand onto Jack’s shirtless chest. Plus, of course, a somewhat … Continue reading "Bonus: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (Part 2)"

At long last, we tackle THE MISS FISHER MOVIE. In true Every Lady Needs a Hobby fashion, this episode includes a scene-by-scene recap of the first half of the movie, with exactly the right amount of digression into hastily Googled facts, tangential personal anecdotes, and discussion of how plausible Phryne’s madcap adventures are (not very, … Continue reading "Bonus: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (Part 1)(!)"

Did an ancient Greek party girl get off on a capital charge because she flashed the judge? Or was this story just an excuse for artists to get away with painting bare breasts? This week, we dig into trial records, archeological evidence, and ancient gossip to try to get a sense of the woman behind the legend. Content note: This episode is about a historical figure who may or may not have been a sex worker. Some of the sources we quote from translate her profession as “prostitute”–academic translations tend to lag a bit behind commonly accepted language. Show notes and sources at this link (HEADS UP, the images in this are not safe for work)

Leigh chats with Essie Davis, star of Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears, about keeping busy in isolation, the challenges of filming in Phryne's fabulous outfits and what makes the lady detective so popular with fans.

If you thought Phryne being able to speak Polish was the skill of the week on this one, you’d be wrong! While we think there should be altogether more ghosts in this episode, there’s just exactly the right amount of Aunt Prudence at her irate best. You know when an elderly relative dishes on your … Continue reading "S3E6: Death at the Grand"

Don’t you hate it when your house is overrun with women with nervous troubles? You let one in and the next thing you know you have a whole sanitarium on your hands. We’re joined by guest host Sarah and discuss the need for another episode where Phryne goes undercover at the rodeo and we get … Continue reading "S3E5: Death and Hysteria"

Full disclosure: we recorded this episode a few weeks/a thousand years ago before we were all in self-isolation because of COVID-19. Stay safe and healthy, friends. Wash your hands. Stay home. And listen along as Phryne achieves such feats as staying up all night, drinking a Bloody Mary with breakfast, and remaining sharp and functional … Continue reading "S3E4: Blood and Money"

What’s more ludicrous than a marinara boot print? Allowing yourself to be seduced by an Italian restaurateur without getting a meal out of it first. We learn that Phryne listens to Joni Mitchell and Concetta listens to Cher (obviously), and make apology for many Italian accent impersonations, food innuendos, and a couple non-Miss Fisher related … Continue reading "S3E3: Murder & Mozzarella"

New episode out now! We watched season 1, episode 8 of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and discussed just how awesome the Honorable Miss Phryne Fisher truly is. We cover the beautiful and dynamic costume design, the obvious and delightful tension between Phryne and DI Jack Robinson, how toxic masculinity ruins everything, have a sidebar about feeling connected to fictional characters, and discover that war is bad. Katy is a Miss Fisher Earrings Expert, Carrie channels her inner Frasier, Maddy slides in an Amanda Bynes reference, and Mack made a boob joke that was unfortunately funny. We also discuss how the show covered hot button feminist topics in a surprising way, decide which character would vape, try to name dog detectives, and attempt harmonizing our gasps. Dot deserves everything and Phyrne can have as many men strewn about her boudoir as she wants. Only one of us does an Australian accent (sorry Australia) but TWO become jowly men! Originally recorded September 2019. TW: Suicide, undiagnosed postpartum depression, toxic masculinity

Recently I ventured south-side to Cheltenham on a mission to drink beer and talk books. I spoke with Craig Blackmore, head brewer at Bad Shepherd Brewing Co, and amongst other delicious beers, managed to taste something I never thought possible ... a Unicorn Beer! The beers and the books: Victoria Pale Ale - crisp, easy, historic Melbourne yeast Cocaine Blues by Kerry Greenwood is the first of the Phryne (rhymes with my-knee) Fisher series set in 1920's Melbourne. It is obviously historic, but also a lovely easy read with a sharp-shooting, straight-talking, high-flying lady detective solving murders and taking lovers like it's no one's business! Everywhere I Look by Helen Garner is a collection of short works, vignettes really, by the well-loved Australian novelist. These reflections are dry, relaxed, elegant and easy to read, even when they are devastating observations of humanity at its worst. Unicorn Beer - Peach Brut IPA - fantastical, dry, badass, drinkable Uprooted by Naomi Novik is a truly fantastical, magical story, but it's not the one you think you're getting. It is high fantasy at its best, told beautifully, as the main character learns and grows and faces the corrupting threat of the 'big bad'. Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir has been described as 'lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space' and honestly, that's all you need to know about this bone-dry, crazy, amazing, unicorn of a book! Hazelnut Brown - toasty, malty, smooth, nutty, rich, dry, clean Rivers of London is the first novel in the series of the same name. Part BBC police procedural, part magical academy this story of a young police officer who, after seeing a ghost, becomes the first apprentice wizard in over seventy years, learning magic and solving supernatural crimes. A smooth, toasty, completely nutty story which is addictive! To Say Nothing Of The Dog by Connie Willis is comic science fiction featuring time-travelling historians ... a very dry, English style of nuttiness is on show here with smooth, clean writing that will keep you entertained throughout.

Join Natalie Haynes and guests for half an hour of comedy and the Classics from the BBC Radio Theatre in London. Natalie is a recovering comedian who is a little bit obsessive about Ancient Greece and Rome. Each week she takes a different figure from the Ancient World and tells their story through a mix of stand-up comedy and conversation. Today she stands up in the name of Phryne, the Greek courtesan famed for her extraordinary wit and beauty. Glossy of skin and a model for statues of the goddess Aphrodite, Phryne was as clever as they come and minted to boot. Outrage, outrageousness and as always, a lot of gossip from a couple of thousand years ago. With special guests comedian Katy Brand and classicist Professor Edith Hall. Producer...Mary Ward-Lowery.

Ancient Greece is notorious for keeping women silent, veiled, and firmly fixed at the loom. But was life for women in places like Athens really so restrictive? What did they get up to behind those veils and shaded screens? After exploring their houses, rights and duties in Part 1, we're going to talk about life as a matron: childbirth, Athenian nightlife (including the famous escorts who rule it), ritual and festivals. We'll even hop over to ancient Sparta to see what those hardcore ladies get up to. To check out the show notes, go here.

Ancient Greece is notorious for keeping women silent, veiled, and firmly fixed beside the loom. But was life for the ladies in places like Athens really so restrictive?

This week, the ladies drink some sinfully sour Prayers of Saints chardonnay while chatting about glamor, Minnesotan culture, and Greek mythology! Kelley starts off by covering the legendary singer Peggy Lee who used a low, quiet voice to draw her audience in. (Did we mention she was in Lady & the Tramp??) Then, Emily covers the legendary courtesan Phryne who was entirely too sexy for people to handle and weaponized her beauty against the haters!

“Good luck with those bird calls, she’s mine!” With some minor diversions into the history of radio broadcasting (let us know if you’d prefer we switch topics permanently), we discuss Undercover Jack, just how close Phryne and Jack’s faces get, and of course, bird call impersonators who get a little too fresh.

Lady racecar drivers, Undercover Dot, and more than you needed to know about MacKenzie and Genevieve’s respective senior pranks. We’re very suspicious about how frequently Jack and Phryne seem to play checkers together, while Phryne seems intent on plowing through Jack’s emotional distress. Plus, all you need to know (basically) about carburetors.

This week’s podcast is hosted by none other than the MURDERER HERSELF! Just kidding, though we do make some contingency plans in case Genevieve does end up behind bars for being a jewel thief. This week’s episode also features Jack letting Phryne do all the work and simply enjoying the sizzling sexual tension during a … Continue reading "S2E5: Murder a la Mode"

It was an honor and a delight to interview Ruby Rees at Miss Fisher Con 2018. Ruby, who plays Phryne's adopted daughter Jane, proved to be a wealth of information and insight into the show,...

In this week's episode, we discuss Phryne, the ancient Greek courtesan and intellectual who was infamously aquitted during her trial for heresy by baring her incredible breasts to the jury, and Dr. Barry, who was born female but lived life as a male in order to achieve incredible medical goals, such as performing the first successful c-section birth. Wow. Just, wow, betches.

In this episode, we discuss Greek love and sexuality by examining the formal social institution known as pederasty; the various theories of love as described by Plato (through various speakers) in his treatise, the Symposium; the various methods in which Athenian males (and non-citizen women) were able to have sex; the depiction of nudity and genitalia in art and masturbation; the various types of female and male prostitutes; pictorial and medical evidence for the daily life of prostitutes and philosophical and comedic representation of prostitution; and the lives of several famous hetairai (Rhodopis, Thargelia, Aspasia, Phryne, and Neaira) Show Notes: http://www.thehistoryofancientgreece.com/2018/03/071-love-sex-and-prostitution.html   Intro by Neil of the Ancient Blogger Podcast Website: http://www.ancientblogger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ancientblogger Twitter: https://twitter.com/ancientblogger

Jay tells Alex about Φρύνη, or Phryne (Phrýnē), a courtesan from Classical Greece who happens to be the model/inspiration for some of the most famous works of art in history.

With Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) back at the helm, the ladies dive into the story of Phryne, infamously powerful courtesan during the ancient Greek Empire. They also detail the shift in Grecian society that streamlined all sex workers and essentially morphed Athens into the Walmart of prostitution. The girls then tackle the issue of women being sexy vs. strong. Does our society still view female sensuality as a mystical, destabilizing force that strips men of all self control? Why in the world would a chick force her friends to take off their makeup at a sleepover?? What kind of a discount does Wendi (@wendistarling) give for being a cool dude?!? They also breakdown the current stripper strike in NYC which addresses the very important question… what in the actual fuck is a ‘STARtender'?!?   ***   Brought to you by Velvet Swing. Velvet swing is a cannabis-enhanced lubricant known to enhance pleasure. THC dilates the smallest capillaries, which increases blood flow, heightens sensitivity, and can lead to longer, stronger orgasms. The product was meticulously researched by sexual icon Mistress Matisse and delivers a unique levels of sexual satisfaction for men, women & couples.    *** Jacque the Stripper   EMAIL US theoldestprofessionpodcast@gmail.com   FOLLOW THE SHOW Twitter: @theoldpropodcast Instagram: @theoldpropodcast   FOLLOW KAYTLIN Twitter: @kaytlinbailey Instagram: @kaytlinbailey   FOLLOW WENDI Twitter: @wendistarling Instagram: @wendibird82   ***   Produced by Mary Kelly Funky One Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

It's the Movie Making episode, where Phryne is suddenly a film investor. There's precious little banter, the American accents are a little dubious, but we do enjoy the exploration of filmmaking in the '20s. Chandler talks about the origins...

The Awkward Episode. We've decided this is also the AU (Alternate Universe) episode. Phryne and Jack are not quite themselves, and everything's just a little off. Plus, the plot is extra ridiculous—which is saying something!...

The car race episode! We see the depth of Jack's feelings for Phryne right off the bat, and we cringe the rest of the episode as they are completely out of sync. Dot goes undercover,...

We get lots of Hugh (yay), lots of Phryne's harlequin coat (boo), and hit on a few themes in this one—Melbourne's gang scene, boxing, and how the Aboriginal population is treated by society at that time. We love that Hugh...

CASE FILE: Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, episode 4It’s the last Phryne case and there are two plots that don’t even intersect! Crazy! Mystery of the Week is finally back after a hiatus because Regan is a dummy.Theme Music: ‘In THE Crowd’ by The YearsFeedback? Questions? Goofs?

Phryne Fisher Murder Mysteries - She’s smoothly sensual, a sharp dresser, and has a wicked uppercut. We travel to the Antipodes to visit with Phryne Fisher, the protagonist of a series of 20 murder mystery books and three seasons of an adaptation to television. We like the cut of her jib and the stab of her knife. If you’d like to prep before listening, we read three of the books: Cocaine Blues, our introduction to the cast, which grows and grows; Murder in Montparnasse, which fleshes out her backstory; and Murder in the Dark, which takes place on a rambly country estate and features a sex cult. We fire off the spoiler horn after our initial background discussion. Host Glenn Fleishman with Jean MacDonald, Katie Lane, Shannon Sudderth and Suzi Steffen.

CASE FILE: Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, episode 1It’s the roaring ‘20s in Melbourne, and Phryne Fisher is the best damn detective we have met to date. Plot points: Why is Regan not playing Phryne, how do you even pronounce Phryne, why can we not get anyone’s names right?Theme Music: ‘In THE Crowd’ by The YearsFeedback? Questions? Goofs?

We finally get some quality Mac time in this episode! It's off to the factory we go to investigate the gruesome death of Mac's lover, Daisy. Phryne misses some very obvious clues that her best friend is distraught. Hugh...

Poor, poor Miss Lavender. According to Phryne, she was “cold as a halibut on ice”—and that's when she was still alive! We talk about cyanotypes, the hidden agenda in women's magazines in the '20s, Phryne...

Quick, call Phryne! There's a ghost in the theatre! Oh, yeah—and murder and stuff. Dot's crush gets crushed. Hugh does some very important personal research. Jack shows a sudden new interest in theatre. And Phryne “makes...
