    Reference to phone taps, plastic surgery, voice recognition . . . pretty sophisticated for 1928!

    Loved the narration! as always the guest narrators are awesome! I really look forward to your commentary as well. Indeed looking back through our current world view lens makes things look "uglier" than they were probably intended to be but they can also show how inspiring and pivotal the roles our forebears played in shaping our world really is. Thanks again for an awesome episode.

    I enjoy a Dorothy Sayers story. Sadly, I personally find the narrator's voice grating to my ears and brain; and cannot continue listening. Thanks, Tony, for the effort of finding a reader and posting the story.

      I agree. I like this narrator, but not in this story. I need Tony's voice to listen to a long story. I was very excited until I realized Tony wasn't reading. There's no problem with the accent, so I don't understand why.

      I think it is the speed. 0.75 is too slow, but much better than at full speed.

    Thanks Tony.
    I struggle to get through a detective story, but I enjoyed this one.
    I loved the tech' in this, and the fact that it was explained. Well done Mrs S.
    In our house we only watch "cozy crime", there is a strict "No Graphic Violence" code to telly watching, so this meets with the code.
    Sadly there is still a pronounced discrepency in female wages to male, the whole world over.
    I hope that too will change soon.
    Thanks Matthew.

    Well read, however, the 'f' instead of 'th' makes me cringe.
    Like yourself, I taught languages and you're right; it sounds odd but you get a deeper meaning into words (like their history and how the Latin words are often understood more easily. For example 'hard' as an adjective. 'difficult' is often far easier for students)
    Thanks as always for your waffle 😊
