  • Excellent podcasts on the golden age of whodunnits

    I came across this podcast through a link on Martin Edward’s’ own website. It is excellent. Intelligent discussions with very high quality guests discussing aspects of the detective novels and short stories of the golden age, generally ~ 1920 to 1940. Topics range across reprints, festivals, plot devices and snippets of the private lives of authors of this period, many of whom were women - in fact it is perhaps one of the niche areas of literature where women could be said to have led the field.... more

  • A “must listen” for “Golden Age Detective” readers/fans

    In GAD we trust is that rare thing - an intellectually curious, very listenable but fun podcast among friends of golden age detective fiction.

    The breadth of the subjects ranges from the most well know authors such as Agatha Christie to more niche and out of print works.

    The style ranges from a discussion among friends on a particular novel to an exploration of tropes, themes and ideas within them.

    How a podcast should be done.

  • Wonderful!

    If you’re a fan of Golden Age detective mysteries, then you won’t find a better podcast than this one. Each episode offers a fascinating insight into the mystery genre with discussions by hugely knowledgeable experts and aficionados in the field. No matter how widely read you are, you will find here perspectives you haven’t considered and authors you haven’t heard of. Fun, clever and full of surprises.

    A word of warning: your “to be read” list is going to explode with books recommended and disc... more

  • An Excellent Podcast About the Golden Age of the Detective Fiction

    Like Caroline Crampton's excellent podcast Shedunnit, Jim Noy's podcast In GAD We Trust is an excellent look at the themes, authors, and mystery novels of the Golden Age of Detection Fiction...for anybody wanting to read Golden Age detective fiction but not knowing where to begin listening to Mr. Noy and his guests discussion is a good place to discover mystery writers from the period between the World Wars whether they are the obvious such as Agatha Christie or newly re-discovered authors li... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

In GAD We Trust – Episode 34: Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife (2025) and The (Expanded) Golden Age of Murder (2025) by Martin Edwards [w’ Martin Edwards]
Q: So how would you describe it?
The book centers on a group of six strangers invited to Midwinter to play a detective game, with puzzles presented to both the characters and the reader in a way that balances challenge with entertainment.
In GAD We Trust – Episode 37: Universe Building with a Light Touch via The Beanstalk Murder (2024) and The Big Bad Wolf Murder (2025) by P.G. Bell [w’ P.G. Bell]
Q: How do you balance world-building with moving the plot forward for a younger audience?
I treat the world as a background layer that informs the plot and clues, but I avoid long expository sections. The rules of magic are established through scenes and character actions, so readers learn as the story unfolds without feeling bogged down by lore.
In GAD We Trust – Episode 37: Universe Building with a Light Touch via The Beanstalk Murder (2024) and The Big Bad Wolf Murder (2025) by P.G. Bell [w’ P.G. Bell]
Q: How did you arrive at the core concept for The Beanstalk Murder?
It grew from a casual idea about what to do with Jack and the Beanstalk after the fairy tale ends, expanding into a world where two young witches solve a murder in a giant's kingdom, using their unique magical skills and a tight focus on world-building rather than just magic.
In GAD We Trust – Episode 35: The Murder Game: Play, Puzzles and the Golden Age (2025) by John Curran [w’ John Curran]
Q: Would you be willing to attempt to pre-see what the book is about for the people who are unaware of it?
The book argues that detective fiction is a dialogue between writer and reader, with numerous variations, and that the structure is built to engage readers in a fair game where clues and misdirections must be interpreted together.
