Yes

Two thoughtful people podcasting about Nero Wolfe and Archie Griffin. Very well done. I will listen again (and probably again.)

Pot commentary

Rena sucks. Sorry, but she’s trying to-I don’t know-critique the works from a 2000’s perspective when the books were written 80-45 years ago. She needs to keep her smug opinions to herself and approach the books from the perspective from which they were written. The male host -whose name I’ve forgotten, sorry-does a much better job of meeting the stories on their own reality. Rena is incredibly annoying. I also think they’re way overanalyzing the books. They’re wringing all the fun out of them.
