Madame Magenta: Sonos Mystica

Greetings, Bernard here! And today Magenta and I would like to introduce you to another wonderful show from the Fable & Folly podcast network.

It's called Sorry About The Murder - or rather "SAWRY ABOOT THE MRRDRR EH!"

Alright, I won't do any more Canadian accents from now on.

Anyway, Sorry About The Murder is a very Canadian murder mystery podcast, set in the perfect little town of Beavermont Ontario.

That's really all you need to know - it's a wonderful cosy black comedy of a show, with lovely writing and a colourful cast of characters. 

It's a sort of Garrison Keillor-ish Murder She Wrote. What a joy. 

And given that a lot of it takes place in an ice rink, because, you know, Canada, It's also full of brilliant kitsch organ music which greatly appeals to me.

And for Brits like us, it's a very interesting insight into what these small Canadian towns are like. I mean, minus the murder. Presumably. I don't know, actually. I get the impression it's not that common.

Anyway, Season 1 is complete and out now, and it's very short - 8 episodes, 10-15 minutes long - so you could kill the whole thing in one sitting over a delicious poutine and a bottle of Stubbies beer. 

Sorry About The Murder is available wherever you get your podcasts. And here is episode 1, entitled BONJOUR, BEAVERMOUNT.
