Every Lady Needs a HobbyMiss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (Part 2)Sign me up for the MasterClass where Miss Fisher teaches astrolabe reading! And, perhaps camels? While we're not sure who's giving those camels rubdowns after the sacking of the cameleer, we have no complaints about the movie physics that result in Phryne launching out of quicksand onto Jack's shirtless chest. Plus, of course, a somewhat dizzying murder recap and our ratings.
While this concludes (for now), our Miss Fisher recaps, we're accepting ideas of where to take the podcast next. Female-driven narratives, wackiness, and handsome police inspectors accepted.2020-10-1851 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyMiss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (Part 1)(!)At long last, we tackle THE MISS FISHER MOVIE. In true Every Lady Needs a Hobby fashion, this episode includes a scene-by-scene recap of the first half of the movie, with exactly the right amount of digression into hastily Googled facts, tangential personal anecdotes, and discussion of how plausible Phryne's madcap adventures are (not very, but we love every second). We're a bit out of practice, but we still manage to fit in multiple Harry Potter and Downton Abbey references, and come up with several spin off ideas (Shirin Abbas: Justice in Palestine, anyone?).
Links to some...2020-09-281h 12Every Lady Needs a HobbyDeath Do Us PartWe've come at last to the FINAL EPISODE. And while that kiss does wait until literally the last minute, some might argue (Genevieve) that that's exactly perfect for a show with a permanent, sizzling undertone of unending sexual tension, some (MacKenzie) point out that they could have kissed HUNDREDS of times before the event finally takes place. Thank goodness there's a movie now! We manage to get a Harry Potter reference in, and of course, so many CLUES. There's not one but two convoluted murder plots, and a series-finale level number of insane coincidences.

Every Lady Needs a HobbyGame, Set & MurderAt long last, we've come to The Spider Episode. Not only does this episode feature a 10/10 murder method, it features A Very Healthy Amount of sexual tension. We're left wondering: is Stanley Burrows an old friend of Aunt Prudence's or an Old Friend? Plus, did tennis stars in the 1920s travel with a personal supply of bootleg whiskey?
We don't answer these questions in the podcast so don't get your hopes up on that front, but we do deliver on a much-needed tangent about Jane Austen, as well as some "breaking news".2020-05-1100 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyDeath at the GrandIf you thought Phryne being able to speak Polish was the skill of the week on this one, you'd be wrong! While we think there should be altogether more ghosts in this episode, there's just exactly the right amount of Aunt Prudence at her irate best. You know when an elderly relative dishes on your parents' past? And when they say that thing that everyone else is thinking out loud in front of everyone? Aunt Prudence delivers. Plus Dot gets some sexual tension and we don't hate it.2020-04-2700 minEvery Lady Needs a HobbyDeath and HysteriaDon't you hate it when your house is overrun with women with nervous troubles? You let one in and the next thing you know you have a whole sanitarium on your hands. We're joined by guest host Sarah and discuss the need for another episode where Phryne goes undercover at the rodeo and we get to meet Rinaldo in the flesh. We also discuss the inordinate amount of clues strewn about the multiple crime scenes. You'd think with the high cost of consumer goods in the 1920's people wouldn't be so careless with their collar pins, but sure does...2020-04-1300 minEvery Lady Needs a HobbyBlood and MoneyFull disclosure: we recorded this episode a few weeks/a thousand years ago before we were all in self-isolation because of COVID-19. Stay safe and healthy, friends. Wash your hands. Stay home. And listen along as Phryne achieves such feats as staying up all night, drinking a Bloody Mary with breakfast, and remaining sharp and functional all day long. (I had a beer at lunch once and couldn't coherently write an email, much less solve a murder. Good on ya, Phryne.) Dot achieves the arguably even more impressive feat of sewing a sweater in what appears to be 24 hours...2020-03-3000 minEvery Lady Needs a Hobby#LivingRoomPremieresMiss Fisher Fans!

Every Lady Needs a HobbyMurder & MozzarellaWhat's more ludicrous than a marinara boot print? Allowing yourself to be seduced by an Italian restaurateur without getting a meal out of it first! We learn that Phryne listens to Joni Mitchell and Concetta listens to Cher (obviously), and make apology for many Italian accent impersonations, food innuendos, and a couple non-Miss Fisher related tangents. 2020-03-1600 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyMurder and the MaidenWe're joined by guest host Dan for this episode to get a manly perspective on Miss Fisher. He thinks that Miss Fisher should track down the real killer: the tobacco industry (or, is it actually someone we've never suspected but has been right in front of us the whole time?). And, Bert has a love interest who's "hemming his trousers" *wink wink*, and we discuss even more Miss Fisher/Harry Potter crossover possibilities. Warning: contains more than a few communist jokes and puns (a "Red" herring anyone?). 2020-03-0200 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyDeath Defying FeatsWe're back, baby, we're back for Season 3- and once again, it's murder, folks. Dot is MVP this episode (give that woman a raise!), but the Baron's nerve tonic comes in a close second by teeing up that classic speech from Jack about liberal-minded men. While we have some questions about why you would ruin Cognac with sludge-like nerve tonic, and whether the real murderer is the really the ventriloquist's dummy, it doesn't keep us from loving this episode, which is SECRETLY about climate change. 2020-02-1600 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyMurder Under the MistletoeFor this Christmas special, we've created an extra special podcast! This episode will only make sense if you watch along while you listen.

Every Lady Needs a HobbyInterview with Greg J. Walker at Miss Fisher Con 2019We're going back in time to Miss Fisher Con, where we talked to Greg Walker, composer for Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and for Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears! We talk music (including some music themed murder plot line ideas), our shared love of Agatha Christie, but sadly no movie spoilers. PLUS, Greg shares some music that didn't make it into the film, and will definitely make you eager to hear what did. 2019-12-1600 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyMs. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries E4: Seasoned Murder"Dip another pretzel into that martini and let's get down to business. We don't have time to fight over a man!" We lament the end of MOD while joined once again by guest host Maddie. Topics discussed include not only "Seasoned Murder" but the Bachelorette, Britney Spears' Instagram account, and how Genevieve thinks there's far too much infidelity on TV. 2019-12-0900 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyBonus Pod LIVE EPISODE: Miss Fisher ConIn case you missed us at Miss Fisher Con, you can still catch the recording of our session right here! In this special episode we finally disclose the results of the listener poll, challenge audience members to Miss Fisher trivia, and interview Lynn Reed, Associate Producer for Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears! 2019-09-3000 min

Every Lady Needs a HobbyBonus: Miss Fisher Con Recap with the Miss Fisher Philes!In a truly epic meeting of the microphones, we joined forces with the Miss Fisher Philes podcast and recorded a recap at the end of Miss Fisher Con! Meeting Mary and JoJo was a highlight of Con for us, but there were a bunch of others too! If you weren't able to join at the Con, it will almost be like you were there- more bonus content coming your way over the next couple of weeks. 2019-08-1000 minEvery Lady Needs a HobbyBonus: Ms. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries E3...OR Ms Fisher's Modern X-Files.... In this "genre-bending" episode we discuss whether perhaps all helicopters we've ever seen were really UFOs. We also learn that tel-ex machines are perhaps even better than cell phones. Also, since it's 2019, we think there should be coffee cabana-boys in our offices since there were tea ladies in both the 20s and 60s. 2019-07-2200 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyUnnatural HabitsWe had to get the sexual tension meter repaired after the first watch-through of this episode. After a trip to Home Depot for parts and some re-calibration, the rating was STILL off the charts. Not only do we get an almost-kiss for the ages, but Mr. Shiny Suit Sidney Fletcher and Corrupt Cop Sanderson get their come-comeuppance after some day- and night- time boat snooping by Phryne. 2019-07-1500 minEvery Lady Needs a HobbyMs. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries E2: Dead Beat
We follow Dead Air on MFMM with Dead Beat on Modern, both featuring murders on air and double murders (RIP Oswald I and II). Guest host Maddie joins us once again as we discuss Modern Mysteries E2 and tells us about surfing as well as indoor surf fitness classes (apparently a thing!). There's an abundance of CLUES in this episode, and just the right amount of leather on Birdie.2019-07-0100 minEvery Lady Needs a HobbyBonus: Listener Poll!Listener poll is live at everyladyneedsahobby.com/poll! Whether you're joining us in July at Miss Fisher Con (and we really hope you are!) or not, we want to hear from YOU! As you know, every episode, we do ratings at the end for best and worst outfit, murder method, sexual tension, and more. Rather than keep hearing the two of us drone on, we wanted to ask YOU what you think. We'll reveal the results during our live show at Con.2019-06-2900 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyDead Air"Good luck with those bird calls, she's mine!" With some minor diversions into the history of radio broadcasting (let us know if you'd prefer we switch topics permanently), we discuss Undercover Jack, just how close Phryne and Jack's faces get, and of course, bird call impersonators who get a little too fresh.2019-06-1700 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyMs. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries E1: Just MurderedJoin us, along with special correspondent Maddie, as we discuss Just Murdered, the very first episode of the very first Miss Fisher spin off! We're pretty excited about Peregrine's matching crop top pajama sets, Phryne's new car, and of course the handsome James Steed (even if he'll never hold a candle to Jack Robinson). The 60's setting inspired even more spin off ideas during this episode, including Miss Fisher in Space: Murder on the Moon. 2019-06-0200 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyDeath on the VinePour yourself another glass of wine, because this is the grape stompin' episode. We discuss at length Phryne getting lured into a vat of grapes, but also whether that snake is real, CGI, or animatronic. Mackenzie gives Jack a middle initial and Genevieve discovers that she has a murderer's name (again!). 2019-05-2000 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyFramed for MurderThis may not be our favorite episode, but we'd still rather watch it than any Marvel movie. Dot and Hugh add to their resume skills sections by continuing to develop trash searching and torn up paper reassembling abilities, plus Bert gets assigned several jobs requiring Outfits that he is Annoyed about. Bonus spinoff idea: CSI but as a silent film. We'll make millions! 2019-05-0400 minEvery Lady Needs a HobbyBONUS POD: Preview of Miss Fisher Con 2019Join us for a conversation with Jennifer Aldrich of the Adventuresses' Club of the Americas about Miss Fisher Con 2019, her travels to Australia to be an extra in the Miss Fisher movie, plus (of course) some of her favorite moments (and outfits) from all of Miss Fisher. We're EVEN MORE excited for Miss Fisher Con than we were before (and we were pretty excited) so tune in.2019-04-1700 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS2E8: The Blood of Juana the MadJust as many Mike Pence references as Harry Potter references for some reason, but don't worry, we promise it won't happen again. We also discuss how Every Lady Needs a Velvet Jacket (new podcast title?) and how we would be terrible spies. Plus, Jack and Phryne have some DTR talks and Dr. Mac gets well deserved screen time during this investigation at a college with highly suspect faculty that leaves far too many dangerous weapons lying about in the open. 2019-03-2800 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS2E7: Blood at the WheelLady racecar drivers, Undercover Dot, and more than you needed to know about MacKenzie and Genevieve's respective senior pranks. We're very suspicious about how frequently Jack and Phryne seem to play checkers together, while Phryne seems intent on plowing through Jack's emotional distress. Plus, all you need to know (basically) about carburetors. 2019-03-1100 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS2E6: Marked for MurderIt's always murder, and this time, hairy-butt Harry Harper the Hangman is definitely dead. And as Miss Fisher would put it, what's awkward compared to dying naked in the shower with the opposition's scarf around your throat? Tune in as we discuss how necessary the subtitles are, learn that "footie" is rugby in Australia, and wildly guess at what a fullback is. We may not know sports very well, but we DO know sexual tension when we see it. 2019-02-2700 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS2E5: Murder a la ModeThis week's podcast is hosted by none other than the MURDERER HERSELF! Just kidding, though we do make some contingency plans in case Genevieve does end up behind bars for being a jewel thief. This week's episode also features Jack letting Phryne do all the work and simply enjoying the sizzling sexual tension during a picnic stakeout in the hall closet. 2019-02-1100 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS2E4: DeadweightNot only does Phryne get the job done, as always, on the murder investigation front, she also flirts expertly, eats ice cream suggestively for the second week in a row, PLUS achieves everyone's teenage fantasy: riding a roller coaster with your crush! Gang leader Freckles may not have any freckles, but he does have some great tough boy get-ups, plus we get to see Hugh out of that constable's uniform and in the boxing ring. 2019-01-2800 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS2E3: Dead Man's Chest
"Away, away with rum, by gum!" Who could the murderer be in this episode? Could it be the man with the baggiest pants? Lots of sly grog antics, plus some of our favorite scenes that may or may not be recreated during this week's podcast.2019-01-2100 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS2E2: Death Comes KnockingThe private detecting heads to the bedroom (wink wink), Jack gets invited to a seance just so he can hold Phryne's hand, and more discussion of Batman than you would think in the week's episode of Every Lady Needs a Hobby! Plus, MacKenzie shakes up the sexual tension scale by introducing a innovative, never before seen Adam's Apple rating system. 2019-01-1400 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS2E1: Murder Most ScandalousIt’s fan dance time! We’re back for season 2, so start off 2019 with some Undercover Phryne as she goes straight from a fan dance to some hard hitting questions. We also have some ideas for how Jack could employ fan dancing for his investigations, and what Imperial Club owner Madame Leon would be like on Facebook.

Every Lady Needs a HobbyS1E13: King Memses CurseFoyled again! We'll never know if Murdoch Foyle really was the reincarnation of King Memses, (more popularly known these days as King Memes) because as usual, a meddling lady detective got in his way and ruined everything. No complaints from us though because we get more screen time for Disheveled Jack.2018-12-1700 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS1E12: Murder in the Dark
If you love disheveled Jack as much as we do (and we bet you do!), don't miss S1E12 Murder in the Dark, aka the BEST episode of Season 1. In addition to a thorough treatment of the steamiest scene on TV, you'll get the lengthy discussion of caramel/toffee apples you never knew you needed, and some words of warning from MacKenzie on the dangers of biking in a flapper costume.2018-12-1000 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS1E11: Blood and CircusesUndercover Phryne very obviously investigates a murder, the strong-man Samson stays far too clothed and performs far too few feats of strength for our liking, and Miss Fisher lurks in a VERY flirtatious manner. MacKenzie manages to work in more Harry Potter references than you might think possible, and there is much contention in the rankings for best outfit, worst outfit, and murder method at the end of this week's pod.2018-12-0200 minEvery Lady Needs a HobbyS1E10: Death by Miss AdventureIn which Aunt P exercises her scolding skills, and we discuss the logistics of texting via telegram: "Tap tap tap tap... U Up?". Undercover Dot has a lucky job search and the factory foreman engages in skulking and other duties as assigned.2018-11-1900 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS1E9: Queen of the FlowersMore like Queen of the Teen Angst. "Pyro" and "Klepto" probably shop at Hot Topic and Jack drinks some sediment-laced whiskey, all in the line of duty. Plus, we discuss our own angst-ridden teenage years for some bonus personal content.2018-11-1200 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS1E8: Away with the FairiesIn which Mrs. Opie AND the building's pipes get worked on..... Also, due to multiple instances of lingering hand contact, up and down glances, and faces being 2 inches apart, the sexual tension breaks the rating scale this week. You might not act so blasé if two of your coworkers/employees were killed on the job, but don't let that keep you from enjoying Jealous Jack and Miss Fisher's hand-to-hand combat in this week's episode.2018-11-0500 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS1E6: Ruddy GoreWhen a man has been a naughty baronet.... he'll get cursed by a witch! Ruddy Gore may not have been a very popular operetta, but we can't get enough of Jack and Phryne in this episode. Heavy breathing and wood grasping ensues, plus Dot gets an autograph from "Gwilderoy Lockhart-Evans". We never get to the bottom of that flower smell, but we do discuss at length the escalating sexual tension between DI Robinson and the Hon. Miss Phryne Fisher.2018-10-2200 minEvery Lady Needs a HobbyS1E5: Raisins and AlmondsThis is the one where we talk about trail mix. Cec and Bert need to talk about their feelings, and the bodies are piling up again. Also, Miss Fisher puts her black beret on, so we know there' going to be some action!2018-10-1500 minEvery Lady Needs a HobbyS1 E4: Death at Victoria DockIt's long folks, but don't worry, we have plenty of jokes about afternoon delight plus some light historical context on the Siege of Sidney Street. If you're reading this on our website, did you know you can also subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or Google Play Music? Please do :)2018-10-0800 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS1 E3: The Green Mill MurderOpen wide listeners, here comes the sexy airplane! In this week's episode, we wonder why the bad part of town is always so smoky? And will being 'hopped up on jazz' stand up in court? And finally, how close is the dancing at the fireman's and policeman's ball? We need answers!2018-10-0101 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS1 E2: Murder on the Ballarat TrainThe *smartest* criminals commit crimes in striped jackets, Miss Fisher is selective in her lustful compromise, and Eunice learns a lesson about being a useless woman. MacKenzie and Genevieve discuss these important issues and more in episode 2 of Every Lady Needs a Hobby.2018-09-2401 minEvery Lady Needs a HobbyIntroducing: Every Lady Needs a Hobbycheck out this short introduction to our new podcast: Every Lady Needs a Hobby.2018-09-1602 min
Every Lady Needs a HobbyS1E1: Cocaine BluesWhat’s the going rate for an illegal botched abortion in 1920s Melbourne? And how easy is it really to steal someone’s earrings right off their ears? Tune in to our discussion of this episode to hear the answers to these questions and more, including our best and worst dressed of the week.2018-09-1159 min
