Podcasts about whodunnits

On our latest  podcast, we take a look at the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 3rd and the 5th February (Episodes #11,483 - 11,488). Although Corrie had to tie up the 'What happened to Amy?' thread and of course throw in a few Carla scenes to appease the hungry fans, the vast majority of the action centred around the fire at the Platts' house this week. If you enjoyed last year's Whodunnits centred around Lauren and Joel, you're in luck because Corrie has dipped into the same well again this week by presenting a number of suspects for the arson - did Abi torch the house to cover her tracks? Leanne to get revenge on her boyfriend-stealing sister? David to claim on the insurance? Or maybe the culprit is a character we may not be supposed to suspect at this point - someone who hasn't yet had the chance to explain their movements in the minutes before that match was tossed through the letterbox...  After exhausting our thoughts and theories about the week's episodes, we take a trip to The Kabin, where we celebrate Corrie's win at the Broadcast Awards, then we hear some listeners' thoughts on the fire in the feedback section.  Street Talk - 00:22:27 The Kabin - 02:42:43 Feedback - 02:51:58

Today's episode focuses on two novels where the characters are grappling with the natural elements – and with mysterious deaths. First, NPR's Mary Louise speaks with Alex Michaelides about The Fury, a murder mystery in which a famous actress and her friends are trapped on a remote Greek island by the ferocious Mediterranean wind. Then, NPR's Scott Simon asks Sarah-Jane Collins about Radiant Heat, which follows a young woman who survives an Australian wildfire, only to emerge from her house and find a dead woman she's never met – clutching a piece of paper with her name and address.

First off, season's greetings and thank you to our announcer Bill Heywatt, our engineer, Joe Paulino, our booth assistant Kenny Durgis, and Succotash musical director Scott Carvey, and of course, our co-host Tyson Saner with whom it is my esteemed pleasure to share the every-other-weekly hosting duties on this here soundcast. We couldn't do it without our talented, hard-working crew – all working for peanuts. Literally, peanuts. That's all we can afford since we have no paying sponsors. (You can Venmo us a donation, if you like. For whatever amount you'd like. One dollar. Two. FIVE bucks? More? It's totally up to you, but if you Venmo it to me, Marc Hershon, @Hershco – h-e-r-s-h-c-o – it will be used for offsetting our production and hosting costs. I can also kick Tyson a few bucks. So we won't say no to Venmo!) I mentioned Tyson Saner and if you happened to miss last week's Epi333, he was in rare form. Fresh off some well-earned vacation time over Thanksgiving, he served up a quartet of clips from such shows as Tough Drafts; The Crazy Life; Barnes, Brenner & Fitzgerald, and The Bitter Sound with old pal of the show Davian Dent. You can still grab yourself a big handful of Succotash Episode 333 wherever finer soundcasts are streamed and/or downloaded, including Apple & Google Podcasts, Spotify, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Audible, iHeart Radio, YouTube, Amazon Music, PodBay, Podchaser, and at our SuccotashShow.com homesite, where we have that episodes and all of the other ones dating back almost 12 year in the Succotash archives. As for this week, my “Season's Clippings!” episode, I'm featuring a fivesome of fine feathered clips from the soundcasts Hey, Riddle, Riddle; Jordan Klepper Fingers the Conspiracy, Man Thinkers, our old friends over at The Salty Language Podcast AND an old friend with a new show, Fandom! The Podcast! In addition, we're putting aside those freebie spots from Henderson's Pants this week, to bring you word about something truly new, unique, and wonderful. It's our own Bill Heywatt offering his master class…on running master classes. CLIPS Fandom! The PodcastI had pretty much pulled all the clips together for this episode and was getting ready to record when I happened to have a text exchange with a couple of old friends of mine from my sketch comedy days in North Hollywood with a group called Fries On The Side. Kenny Stevenson and Dorien Davies have been special guests on Succotash WAY back in Episode 20(!) Anyway, we were texting about something or another and Kenny mentioned that he and another old chum, Alex Enriquez, had just started a new soundcast. Kenny used to co-host a sports soundcast called Knuckle Sanwich – great title – but that had been down for a while. So he and Alex have started a new show – right up my alley as they cover a lot of super-nerdy pop culture territory – and I just got this clip in under the wire for this episode. Their show is called Fandom! The Podcast, from the Fan Controlled Network, and their most recent episode talks a lot about the new Willow streaming show on Disney+. Jordan Klepper Fingers the ConspiracyOne of the best forces for pseudo-journalism goodness has got to be Jordan Klepper, who's been a fixture on Comedy Central's The Daily Show for years. He's got a six-episode limited-run soundcast under the Comedy Central banner called Jordan Klepper Fingers The Conspiracy, where he digs deep into some of the wildest MAGA theories he's heard and, according to the show's description, “traces their origins with journalists, experts, and anyone who might have a lead on when JFK Jr. is coming back. The soundcast offers an opportunity to better understand some of the most extravagant stories Americans tell themselves.” In Epi5 of the series, Jordan wades deep into the history and mystery that is “Hunter Biden's Laptop.” We have a sample… Hey Riddle RiddleI'll be the first to admit this, but some soundcasts get past me. Maybe I'm not paying attention or maybe it's because there are a couple hundred THOUSAND of them out there now. But I'm really ashamed to ‘fess up to missing Hey Riddle Riddle, mainly because it's hosted by a trio of improv and sketch performers and those are MY people. Adal Rifai, Erin Keif, and John Patrick Coan are Chicago-based and they've been doing Hey Riddle Riddle for at least 4 years now. Out of the Headgum Studios, their homesite only has shows through their 4th anniversary show, which dropped this past August 27th. But there are still fresh installments coming out, available on Apple Podcasts, etc. What is Hey Riddle Riddle, for those of you who are like me and in the dark? Their show's description on Apple Podcasts reads, “Riddles! Puzzles! WhoDunnits! Adal Rifai, Erin Keif and John Patrick Coan, three of Chicago's most overrated improvisers, are on the case to solve every riddle, puzzle, brainteaser, and head-scratcher known to humanity. Some riddles are almost impossible, some are absolutely improbable, and some simply have not aged well. And if you don't like riddles, don't worry! This podcast is barely about them!” I bring you a pull from their 4th season finale episode where they get into guessing movie title mashups. The Salty Language PodcastIf you've been a listener to this soundcast for any appreciable length of time, you know that both Tyson and I do have our favorites out there in Soundcastland. So we occasionally show them a bit more love than some of the other shows we feature. Tyson just played a bit last episode from our chum Davian Dent from England. I often talk with Jabs AKA Jason McNamara in Australia. And other folks like Hunter Block from Anti Social Show, Ethan Dettenmeier of Combat Radio, Ed Wallick from the hiatus'ed Don't Quit Your Daycast, and Travis Clark from, originally, Tiny Odd Conversations. A few shows retweet OUR tweets religiously – like The Jock Doc Podcast and I Shake My Head with Lisa and Sam. So I want to do them a solid and recognize their place in our Soundcast Society, too, which is why we're featuring a clip from a recent installment of The Salty Language Podcast. Hosted by Tony and Bryan, this show has been around probably as long as Succotash. Sluggin' out the episodes one after the other. The show's simple description on their homesite reads, “A soundcast about pop culture, living life, and anything else in our tiny brains.” This clip is about one of the guys having made it to his first in-person medical checkup since COVID started. Man ThinkersIt's hard to tell if the attitude of the hardcore male chauvinist is on the run or just biding its time. I'd like to think that kind of backwards attitude that men have towards women is being eclipsed by something more forward-thinking. Whatever the case, it's a way of thinking that soundcasters are having fun ripping on in a variety of ways. One of those is an iHeart Radio production, a show called Man Thinkers, featuring George Collins and Dan Finklestein. Here is how the show is described over on Apple Podcasts: “Man Thinkers is a podcast where the facts...are up for debate. For decades, the lamestream media has prevented real men from sharing their knowledge. On Man Thinkers, there are no degrees and no rules. The hosts aren't impressed by run-of-the-mill ‘experts.' Man Thinkers is a new space populated by iconoclastic thinkers, academic renegades, and media personalities that sound unlike anything else. Cable news is for the old and social media has become too toxic to trust. George and Dan courageously have the tough conversations that mainstream media won't touch. Man Thinkers is a safe space from safe spaces, nothing is off limits.” In a recent episode that dropped back on November 24th of this year, George and Dan had two women on the show: Liz Plank and Monica Padman. Lis is a Canadian journalist, author, and soundcast host. Monica is an actor, podcast producer and co-host – you've heard her on here before when we've clipped Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. The Man Thinkers had them on to talk about women freezing their eggs. Here's how part of the conversation went… That's it for the clips this week. If you've got a comedy soundcast and you'd like us to feature a clip, you don't have to wait for us to wade through those hundreds of thousands of shows to find you – you can make your own 3-5 minute clip and upload it directly to us at http://hightail.com/u/Succotash! That's gonna do it for Epi334 but if you want to hear what's coming up next, just hang arounds this feed until next week when Tyson Saner shows up with Episode 335 and lays it on you. Tyson's next episode is our Christmas present to you, as a matter of fact. And MY next show will be that after-Christmas great buy you get immediately after. Have yourself a fantastic holiday season. And remember, if som jolly fat guy in a red suit with white trim should happen to pop up next to your bed one night soon and whisper into your ear, “Have you heard anything good lately?”, it just might be Santa Claus wanting to find something decent to listen to on his way back to the North Pole, so won't you please pass him some milk, cookies, and Succotash? — Marc Hershon

Nick and Foxx are back this week and reviewing the latest whodunnit film: Death on the Nile. In a follow up to 2017's Murder on the Orient Express, Kenneth Branagh returns to star and direct in this latest murder mystery. Whodunnits are beloved for their misdirections and big reveals, but Death on the Nile is more focused on the storyline and exposition. It is a new take on a whodunnit, but falls flat do to the lack of "ah ha" moments. Still, it serves its purpose and is well shot.

Die typische Leserin des klassischen englischen Whodunnit ist, so kann man annehmen, im Rentenalter. Das macht Sinn, und diese Formulierung exakt so auch, denn es geht um englische Whodunnits und es heißt in der Ursprungssprache nun mal nicht "this has sense". Ok, das macht also Sinn, weil die Beantwortung der Frage "Wer war's" ein zerebrale Tätigkeit ist und das ab einem bestimmten Alter eine der wenigen, die man noch ohne Schmerzen ausüben kann. Zudem braucht das Eliminieren von nie unter einem Dutzend Verdächtigen, um dem Täter auf die Spur zu kommen, eine gehörige Portion Menschenkenntnis, die man sich auf einem langen Lebensweg ganz nebenbei aneignete, genau wie den einen oder anderen special skill, den der talentierte Autor in seiner murder mystery gewinnbringend integrieren sollte.Da man mit zunehmenden Alter der eigenen Gebrechlichkeit gewahr wird, neigt man im Allgemeinen dazu, all diejenigen, denen diese Erfahrung noch bevor steht, zu verabscheuen. "Diese Jugend!" stößt man asthmatisch dem BMX-Fahrer in der Fußgängerzone hinterher, auch wenn der das gar nicht hört, weil er einen Walkman auf hat. Am allerwenigsten will man also von "Dieser Jugend!" lesen, wenn man es denn zurück in den sicheren Ohrensessel geschafft hat und so ist Sherlock Holmes angenehme sechzig Jahre alt und Miss Marple wird einfach nur als "an old lady" beschrieben, man kann ihr als Leser also selbst ein kindersicheres Alter von 50 bis 90 geben. Clever.Erträgt man den Anblick von hyperaktiven, jüngeren Menschen gar nicht mehr, zieht man sich als Rentner mit Gleichgesinnten in ein Altersheim zurück, welches von eben diesen hyperaktiven jüngeren Menschen in Funk und Film immer nur als palliativer Limbo dargestellt wird, mit einem Röhrenfernseher im Gemeinschaftsraum auf dem "Richterin Barbara Salesch" in Dauerschleife läuft, bis das Bingo beginnt.Was aber, wenn das ein ganz falsches Bild ist, wenn man überraschend sieht, dass die geriatrischen Jungs und Mädels eine Menge fun haben? Wie soll das denn gehen? Zum Beispiel wie in Staffel drei, Episode zwei von Inspektor Barnaby, ja, der Rezensent fängt die britische Midsomer Murders Serie nochmal von vorn an, ja, das ist popkulturelle Weiterbildung, keine altersbedingte und winterinduzierte Melancholie. In besagter Folge also, mit dem Titel "Blue Herrings", sind die Bewohner des recht noblen Altersheims rüstige, hellwache, charmante, wunderliche und regelrecht fröhliche siebzig-, achtzig- und neunzigjährige, die, leider, den serientitelgebenden Morden zum Opfer fallen. Aber mit welcher starrsinnigen Lakonie sie das Verschwinden ihrer Mitbewohnerinnen und Mitbewohner zur Kenntnis nehmen und ihrem Tagwerk nachgehen, namentlich Boules, Gin-Tonic und sich gegenseitig verdächtigen, ringt Respekt ab. Wie machen die das, fragen nicht nur wir Zuschauenden uns seit 1999, denn die Serie läuft so lange schon in Dauerschleife in aller Welt, und einer, von dem ich mir sicher bin, dass er sich genau diese Frage beim Anschauen eben dieser Folge gefragt hat, kann ich konkret benennen: Richard Osman.Osman ist Brite und im dortigen TV eine ständige Präsenz. Er ist der Co-Host einer täglichen Quizshow von korrektem Niveau und strahlt dort eine britische middle class Freundlichkeit aus, wie sie im realen Leben nicht existiert. Ein klassischer Schwiegermutterliebling, gross gewachsen, fröhlich, allwissend und - natürlich - kann er auch noch den perfekten britischen Whodunnit in direkter Fortsetzung von Miss Marple, Detective Poirot und Inspector Barnaby schreiben. Es ist zum Haareraufen. Dass die seinen perfekt, dicht und ohne jede Spur von grau sind, mit seinen 51 Jahren, versteht sich.Was sich nicht versteht ist, wie er seinen ersten Roman mit dem Titel "The Thursday Murder Club" nicht nur strukturell perfekt hinbekommen hat, sondern auch noch in einem nachdenklichen Optimismus, dass er es spontan auf die Liste der "Top Ten gemütlichsten Kriminalromane" der Literaturbeilage des Guardian schaffen konnte, von den üblichen Bestsellerlisten von Times bis Spiegel gar nicht zu reden.Der titelgebende Thursday Murder Club tagt im ziemlich poshen Altersheim "Coopers Chase". Wie es sich für einen Whodunnit aus dem Kulturkreis des Whodunnit gehört, ist in diesem Buch nur wenig dem Zufall überlassen und Tradition wird großgeschrieben. So gibt es zunächst den Kommissar, hier zeitgemäß und dennoch beruhigend ein Team, bestehend aus einem alten weißen Mann (ok, fünfzig, hüstel) und einer jungen schwarzen Polizistin, die sich aus Liebeskummer aus dem roughen Süden von London nach Kent in eine Kleinstadt nicht weit von der Kanalküste hat versetzen lassen.Jedoch sind diese nur wichtige Nebendarsteller, das Spotlight im Buch gehört natürlich dem titelgebenden, alldonnerstäglich tagenden Murder Club. Der besteht aus Ron, einem ordentlich tätowierten ehemaligen Gewerkschaftsführer, was in England nichts mit schnauzbärtigen Anzugträgern mit unaussprechlichen Namen zu tun hat, die in der Tagesschau von Kompromissen träumen. Wer in den Siebzigern in England streikte, teilte mindestens so viel Hiebe aus wie er einsteckte. Zweiter im Bunde ist Ibrahim, ein Psychotherapeut im Ruhestand, in den Sechzigern aus Kairo eingewandert und Elizabeth, die inoffizielle Anführerin der Bande, denn sie ist die mit Abstand cleverste, hintertriebendste und skrupelloseste des Quartetts, in das soeben Joyce aufgenommen wurde, weil sie die Frage, wie lange man mit einer Stichwunde in der Brust überleben kann, kompetent beantwortete und die dazugehörigen bluttriefenden Tatortfotos mit enthusiastischem Interesse betrachtete - die Mindestanforderung um in den Club zu kommen. Das Foto stammt aus dem Nachlass von Penny, Joyces Vorgängerin im Club, die im Berufsleben Polizistin war und bei ihrem Ausscheiden aus dem Dienst, mehr oder weniger illegal, Akten von ungelösten Fällen hatte mitgehen lassen. Das passt zum modus operandi des Thursday Murder Club, dessen Mitglieder ob ihrer Herkunft und fortgeschrittenen Alters keinerlei s**t mehr geben. Was für die Lösung eines Falles an Mitteln angezeigt erscheint wird gemacht. Hier wird vorher nicht gefragt und sich hinterher nicht entschuldigt, dafür ist das Leben zu kurz und ohne ein bisschen Action außerdem zu langweilig.Dieses Setting sorgt nicht nur für ausgelassenen britischen Humor, es befreit den Autor auch vom drögen Konflikt zwischen Mittelwahl und Zweckheiligung den klassische englische Kommissare wie Inspektor Lewis oder DCI Thursday seitenweise ausleben müssen. Und natürlich haben Kenner des Genres schon beim Wochentag im Titel des hier besprochenen Buches die Verbindung zum alternden Ziehvater von Inspector Morse, besagtem DCI Thursday, geschlossen, was auf mehreren Ebenen kein Zufall ist. Die Namenswahl ist natürlich literarische Reminiszenz, aber die lebensweisen Mitglieder des Thursday Murder Club spielen, clever geschrieben, immer auch die Rolle des Mentors für unser ermittelndes Team, so wie DCI Thursday das für den späteren berühmten Kommissar Morse war.Das reizvolle an einer geriatrischen Krimiserie ist, dass man sich intelligent nicht nur von vielen Klischees des Genres lösen kann, man kann auch mit den Vorurteilen Schluss machen, dass alte Leute nur rumsitzen und schlafen oder Kreuzworträtsel lösen. Das machen sie natürlich in Mengen, auch im Buch, aber a) sind deshalb gleich vier alte Leute im Team und eine ist immer munter und b) hat nunmal jedes Alter so wie jeder Beruf, der mal ausgeübt wurde, jedes Hobby dem man gefrönt hat, jeder Schicksalsschlag, den man überlebt hat, das Potential für die Lösung eines Kriminalfalls entscheidend zu sein.Und genau aus dieser Philosophie macht Osman aus einem simplen Zeitvertreib, einem Whodunnit, ein Buch, welches einem nicht die Zeit verschwendet. Es sollte in der Anlage sicher kein Moralitätenstück werden - ist es aber immer ein wenig. Wir lernen im Buch, wie man mit Verlusten lebt, mit körperlichen Einschränkungen und dass man ein langes Leben nicht ohne den einen oder anderen moralischen Fehltritt übersteht. Und da wir hier kein dreitausend-Seiten-Werk eines norwegischen Möchtegernintellektuellen lesen, dessen Titel aus nur einem bedeutungsschweren Wort besteht, sondern einen Krimi von perfekter Länge, eines unerträglich talentierten Briten, steht auf dessen Buchcover "Der Millionenerfolg aus England" und gibt sich der deutsche Verlag überhaupt keine Mühe mehr, weil selbst der spektakulär krude übersetzte Titel "Der Donnerstagsmordclub", Club mit C geschrieben, es ist ein Wahnsinn, sich zu recht auch so verkauft.Jeder, der die mittlerweile zwei Bände gelesen hat wird sie, wie ich, begeistert jung und alt weiterempfehlen, schenken und kann sogar entspannt davon erzählen, denn, wie es sich gehört, sind englische Krimis unspoilerbar. Zuviele rote Heringe, unauffällige Bibliothekarinnen, hochverdächtige Priester und total normale Gärtner produzieren eine Wendung nach der anderen, dass man zehn Minuten nach dem Zuklappen des Buches nicht mehr weiß, wer der Mörder eigentlich war.Und selbst wenn das beginnende Demenz sein sollte, hat man nach dem Lesen von The Thursday Murder Club ein bisschen weniger Angst davor. So ein brillantes, wärmendes, kluges Buch ist das. Danke Richard Osman und bis zum nächsten Band.In der nächsten Woche widmet sich Anne Findeisen der deutschen Erzählkunst und bespricht Benedict Wells‘ Roman „Vom Ende der Einsamkeit“.

Patrick schwitzte in dieser Woche eine ganze Karaffe sprichwörtliches Blut und Wasser, hatte er doch für den neuesten Filmschnack mit Daniel einen seiner absoluten Lieblingsfilme im Gepäck. Aber würde er am Ende der Nacht alleine dastehen mit seiner Meinung, dass es sich bei Rosso - Farbe des Todes (Profondo Rosso, 1975) um den mutmaßlichen Höhepunkt im Schaffen Dario Argentos handelt? Ob Herr Gramsch gnädig mit dem Giallo-Klassiker ins Gericht geht oder er der grimmig-pittoresken Mörderjagd so gar nichts abgewinnen kann, hört ihr in dieser Episode. Und da zwei Whodunnits besser sind als eines, geht die Suche nach dem Täter mit der Brettspiel-Verfilmung Alle Mörder sind schon da (Clue, 1985) gleich weiter. Und diese hat zwar wenig Spannung, dafür aber eine ganze Bande hervorragender Komödiant*innen zu bieten.

William Gargan couldn't cut it as a private detective in real life, but he was terrific at playing a gumshoe on screen and on radio. We'll hear him in three old time radio mysteries.

Whether you love genre fiction already, or wonder why you never pick it up, this episode is an informative and eye-opening delve into crime fiction (and other genre fiction generally). We talk about the “genre wars” (what is that?) and also hear from Tracy about her amazingly disciplined approach to getting the job done. Tracy talks about her process, her mentors, and how she learned to write crime, and she leaves listeners with some inspiring words of encouragement for their own writing.

Oxford graduate students discuss Criminology, and the societal affects of real-life crime documentaries. In the final months of 2014, the most downloaded podcast on iTunes wasn't on politics or on current affairs, it was no grand historical narrative, and it certainly wasn't a comedy. The podcast was called 'Serial', by now downloaded over 80 million times, and it told, over the course of twelve long episodes, in intimate detail, the investigations of reporter Sarah Koenig into the murder of a single teenage girl, in Baltimore, 15 years previously. Whodunnits have been a feature of popular fiction for over 150 years: extremely popular fiction indeed, with Agatha Christie battling only William Shakespeare as the most popular author of fiction of all time. Yet, such detailed serialisations of real-life murder cases are a much newer phenomenon, and, from a certain perspective at least, a rather morbid one. Why do we as human beings seem to find these distressing stories so fascinating? Could podcasts such as Serial warp our perceptions of the realities of criminal justice? What responsibilities should such documentary makers have when presenting these cases.? And is even the very act -- the act of making the lives of such vulnerable people prime-time entertainment -- can that ever be ethically justified? The success of programmes such as Serial, and also Netflix's endlessly controversial 'Making a Murdurer', poses many questions to the professional scholar of the public's relationship with the criminal justice system -- the criminologist.

In this episode Lee and Eddie talk Practical Magic, speculate about What She Knew, and ask themselves how easy to guess is too easy to guess when reading mystery? Eddie geeks out about her favourite bird-like dinosaur and Lee reminisces about the good old days (like ten episodes ago), when they were reading Crime Time's favourite trashy author.
