A Life in ChaptersChapter Eleven: Why Cosy British Mysteries Feel So Comforting — Even When They’re About MurderIn this episode, I’m sharing five detective series I’ve loved recently and reflecting on what draws us back to this genre again and again. From the quiet tension of village secrets to the slow unfurling of a case, these books offer more than clever plots — they feel like coming home.I also talk about the emotional roots of crime fiction for me personally, including a few thoughts on my mum, which I first shared in Chapter 4 (Why Books Can Be a Time Machine).Whether you’re a lifelong mystery reader or just curious about wh...2025-08-0616 min
Curated by ChanceInvites Close ListeningEPISODE 48: Invites Close Listening
This week’s prompts: Opal, Calendar, 1796
In this episode, Lauren and Neal dive into illuminated manuscripts, chaotic filmmaking, and the sounds that make your palms sweat.
First up: Lauren unpacks The Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, one of the most important medieval manuscripts ever created. We explore why it's a masterpiece of Christian devotion, seasonal symbolism, and early art history—featuring astrological charts, noble feasts, a pregnant grape-picker (!), and even some cheeky peasant butts.

First up, Neal shares a behind-the-scenes deep dive into Working Girl (1988).

SidedoorPoison and PoisonabilityWhen we think of serial killers, we tend to think of men—Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Jack the Ripper. But in the 1800s, the deadliest killers often wore corsets. In fact, so many women were arrested for serial poisoning that the era became known as the “Golden Age of Arsenic.” Journey back in time to trace the crimes of Lydia Sherman, a Victorian Era femme fatale who left a trail of bodies in her wake. How did she — and women like her — evade capture for so long? And how did their murders help give rise to modern criminal forensics?Guest...2025-03-0535 min
