Welcome to all about Agatha the podcast dedicated to reading and drinking every single mystery

novel written by the Queen of Crime Dame Agatha Christie. I'm Kemper Donovan. I'm Catherine Brova. the not going to be discussing a novel but instead a short story or today we're not

going to be discussing a story at all but doing a very special interview but

today we're doing something even more special because we are not going to be discussing

anything whatsoever or even doing all that much talking. You, dear

listeners, are going to be doing the talking on this episode. Right, when we asked you months ago, I feel as though perhaps some of you have long forgotten because, of course, the year 2020 has been, you know, 20 years long.

Hello, Catherine and Camper, azero here, Dr. Aizro responding to your really prescient, important question about

stuck in its time. I would just say as a black woman whose relationship with Agatha Christie books have changed over the years that yes some of the second its time points it depends on the book obviously do really present a problem as it
