The Labours of Hercules by Agatha Christie (Part 1 of X)

Hello out there Sandwich Artists! Quick announcement here from Amanda at Poirot Pod. We are delighted to see that people are still following us after our long hiatus! We wanted to let you know the book we are reading next is“They Came to Baghdad,” in case you want to read it along with us before we release that episode,  which we anticipate to be somewhere between 3 and 53 weeks from now.  (I just started it and am really enjoying it! ) Shout out to the request for the next book announcement from Selçuk in 2023. You ask, and 2 years later, PoirotPod, sort of, delivers. We do hope to remember to announce the next book at the end of each episode as well as remember to complete the Portia scale, but no promises, as you see how minimally functional we have become in the middle of the night recording these days. Relatedly, you’ll be able to rely on continued butchered pronunciation, Selçuk, which I do hope I’m not doing terribly badly at this moment to your name. Special sandwich artist shout out to Trey, Selçuk, Alejandro, Chawna, Kat, Science Teacher, Aisha, and the various scammy porn bot accounts that have reached out to our email. We diligently check that account every 9 to 24 months, and are legit so happy to see your emails! Side note, I am desperately missing the original royalty free intro music we used, so if anyone out there is fluent in Riverside, which is the new app where the corporate monsters have moved us to these days, and knows how to fix it, please let us know! Yours in crime, PoirotPod! 

We're back! This excellent book includes so many siblings: Patrick and Julia, Pip and Emma, Lettie and Lottie... not to mention actual gays and a cat! Tune in to discover Amanda seems to have inexplicably grown up in the 30s while Portia grew up in the 80s.

Mostly about the Little Mermaid

Just your typical Agatha Christie discussion: "I did not realize there was titties in this story... I would have been way more interested!" Is "buttocks" a great word? Vote now at [email protected].

Labouuuuuuurs. The sleepy episode.

Recorded over 2 months, we finally finished this episode about classic Agatha Christie plot with a murder during a weekend at a country house, which Portia hated and Amanda thinks Agatha changed her mind about the victim halfway through writing it.

Cop-dar?

Choose your own tagline: (1) Seven degrees of pronunciation (2) Nofret goes to Hooters (3) Egyptians: they're just like us! (4) Possibly Agatha Christie's best book? (5) Believe it or not this episode was longer and more offensive before editing

F*ck around and I'll give you a rond de jambe...
