“To say that I love this podcast (et Poirot, bien-sûr!) would be an understatement. The Labours of Hercule is more than a pod - it’s a community! Frankie and Adam are delightful to listen to: fun, witty, and genuine in their love and respect for Christie’s work and David Suchet’s undisputed genius. One of the many things I treasure *most* about Frankie and Adam’s approach to this grand-œuvre is their unflinching (and humorous) honesty about the aspects of Christie’s work (and its ITV dramatisation) which are historically problematic, i.e., “d@mned offensive”. Frankie and Adam don’t shy away from these weaknesses in Christie’s work, but instead place the proper context around those weaknesses by explaining the history of the casual racism, xenophobia, internalized sexism, classism, etc.; and they respectfully celebrate the brilliance of Christie without letting her off the hook. In this way, Frankie and Adam act as trusted guides for us listeners around the world - young and old-, as we, too, look for ways to hold onto the enduring brilliance of Christie, whilst also holding her to account. Frankie and Adam allow us to hold two truths together at the same time: we can love Christie’s brilliant work while also recognizing how it could be better. All that to say, thank you, Frankie and Adam, for creating a community where we can ALL enjoy Christie’s work in a space that is safe for and includes everyone. Keep going! We love you.”

I used to watch the show haphazardly in whatever order and channel I could find them. Then 2 yrs ago, I got Britbox and started to re-watch the show. But it wasn’t until I...”Read full review »
