While we were discussing Connie Willis's 1999 Hugo winning novel To Say Nothing of the Dog, our memory card went kaput. We hope that you enjoy this somewhat disjointed discussion with an awkward break in the middle, because when we thought we'd lost the whole discussion, we almost abandoned ship! It must've been the net causing slippage. Lori is DM. Transcript Library  Music by Pets of Belonging

This week, Isaac Butler and Dan Kois fill in for Stephen and Dana, joining to chat about Netflix's new series, Wednesday. Then, they talk about the documentary, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed. Finally, they discuss what our Spotify Wrapped results tell us about ourselves.  In Slate Plus, the panel shares a fun follow-up on one of Julia's recent endorsements.  Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements Dan: I'm endorsing a delightful book called What Artists Wear by Charlie Porter. It is exactly what it sounds like. This book really reminded me that art is work and it demands respect as a result of that, but it also reminds you that artists are often total, delightful weirdos.  Julia: Somehow I didn't yet share the song that I liked best in 2022. It's a song I considered submitting for Summer Strut. Frankly, I'm a little bit embarrassed because it's a song about having breasts and really enjoying having breasts. It's “Coconuts” by Kim Petras. It's very funny and very peppy.  Isaac: I'm endorsing Connie Willis' wonderful novel, To Say Nothing of the Dog. It is incredibly funny. The Victorian era gets satirized brilliantly. It's just a soup-to-nuts delight. If you're looking to have a really fun week of reading on your hands, this book is a great bet.  Podcast production by Cameron Drews. Production assistance by Yesica Balderrama. Outro music is "Pike Place Market" by Rockin' For Decades. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.

In This Episode The Book Evangelists discuss Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie Morning Chatter #NaNoPrep has begun. We discuss the new NaNoWriMo stuff, which Lissa already has! "These are the traditions in my house, you order it the first day it's announced, and you use it all as soon as it comes. It's like a kid on Christmas but it happens right after Labor Day every year and it's beautiful." -Lissa "Every year before NaNoWriMo starts, I pre-order the winners tshirt because notoriously I won't wear it unless I win and make 50,000 words because I'm ethical, but I'm also cheap, and I don't want to have spent the money on something I can never wear. So this causes me to succeed every year, just for the tshirt." Marian explaining "The Marian Rakestraw challenge" Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie is described at goodreads.com: What more can a mystery addict desire than a much-loathed murder victim found aboard the luxurious Orient Express with multiple stab wounds, thirteen likely suspects, an incomparably brilliant detective in Hercule Poirot, and the most ingenious crime ever conceived? This blog post is spoiler-free. On the podcast, we discuss Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie in detail and our discussion in the podcast is filled with minor and major spoilers. This book is famous enough to have been made into at least 3 movies and has more than 19,000 Goodreads ratings. If you are listening to the audiobook, you should know THERE IS A MAP OF THE TRAIN CAR in the print book. Also, you can easily find many online resources about the real train The Orient Express now and historically. What cheats are allowed in detective novels? • We aren't sure yet. But we enjoy discussing it. Also, spoilers. • Which elements are the clues? • What does the author gift herself? • What does the author gift the reader? To further study cozy mystery novels for comparison, Marian is rereading Dorothy L. Sayers' Whose Body? Old Book Problems "I'm from a hometown that has something called the "Italian Fest" and stabbing with knives has never been part of that culture that they celebrated...and I've never heard that Italians might stab people with knives. So I was glad that if that was going to be part of how the detectives were making their decisions that they explained the stereotypes to me." - Lissa "Everybody in this book is described by racial characteristics, or religious ones, or class ones." -Marian More Books We Discussed Lissa's knowledge of Agatha Christie mostly has come from repeatedly reading To Say Nothing of the Dog; or, How We Found the Bishop's Bird Stump At Last by Connie Willis, and we both highly recommend it. Although you should read Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome first. Marian is looking for a good beat sheet for outlining a mystery novel. She has tried Writing and Selling Your Mystery Novel by Hallie Ephron and the "Whydunit" section of Save the Cat. Coming Up Next episode: Marian is reading Packing for Mars by Mary Roach and Lissa is reading Heartland by Sarah Smarsh and A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson.
