    Episode 79 – Agatha Twistie
    Nov 12 2025
    SPOILER WARNING

    This podcast contains a spoiler for Agatha Christie’s 1926 classic The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. If miraculously, you have just ordered this from Amazon and don’t want to know who the killer is, it’s best to listen to this episode after reading the book.
    Similarly, if you’ve also somehow managed to avoid spoilers for the original Star Wars trilogy and The Sixth Sense and would like to one day experience those unspoiled, it’s best to come back to this podcast after watching those movies.
    Furthermore, if you worry that by simply being told there’s a twist, it will spoil your experience of a movie, there’s a potential spoiler for another movie – which I will refrain from mentioning here for obvious reasons.
    There’s also some discussion about the plot of the videogame Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse, so maybe play that first too.
    Finally, if this is how you found out that that the Carlton AFL team won a football game that you had recorded and were going to watch later, Nobody offers her sincere apologies.
    You know what, it’s probably best to consume every piece of literature, film, videogames, sports and any other major entertainment event in history before listening to this show. For those who still insist on pressing onward, you have been warned!
