Words Dunnit

Ep 44: Words Dunnit (Live at the Dublin Podcast Festival)

Last year Caroline Crampton (of Shedunnit) and I teamed up to create a joint live show, called Words Dunnit: a 200-year history of detective fiction in an hour. We performed the show live at the Dublin Podcast Festival in November 2019, and then again at Pod UK, in Birmingham, in Feb of this year. We had a lot of fun making and performing it and now you can listen to it in full. Enjoy!
