Fawx & Stallion

Today, we're doing something a little different! Ian and Lauren recently recorded an interview with the Baker Street Regulars podcast—they are weekly deep dive into adaptations of Sherlock Holmes stories through a queer lens. They cover everything from the Jeremy Brett Granada series (a personal favorite), the Frogwares game series, BBC Sherlock, plays like Chris Walsh’s Miss Holmes, and even Veggie Tales. We’re so excited to share with you our interview with Ian and Evan about Fawx & Stallion where we discuss adaptation for audio, writing mysteries, and a bit about season 2. If you like this episode, go check out their amazing back catalog--and Lauren's upcoming guest episode covering BBC Sherlock... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hello detectives--something different today! To celebrate our crowdfund, we decided to run what we call a Solve-A-Thon–we ran a series of five polls on our social media accounts over the weekend so that you, the listeners, could help us craft a mystery–we asked you to select a client, a crime, a location, an object, and a clue, which you so generously did. Then, on Sunday and Monday, we wrote this mini-mystery, and last night, Tuesday, we recorded it with the fantastic Jeremy Thompson (Hampton Fawx). Today, it arrives to you, hand crafted by the listeners, for the listeners, the result of a marathon of deduction! Support our crowdfund at the link HERE. Written by Ian Geers and Lauren Grace Thompson Performed by Jeremy Thompson (Hampton Fawx) Theme by Baldemar. Transcript here.

Hello detectives! We are past the halfway point of our recordings for season 2 of Fawx & Stallion, and can’t wait to share this brand new mystery later this year! In the meantime, though, we wanted to share another show on our network, Fable & Folly, with you—today, we’re happy to showcase the first episode of Sorry About the Murder. The show is a murder mystery fiction podcast set in the nice little Canadian town of Beavermount, Ontario. Every day in the nice little Canadian town of Beavermount, Ontario, a Zamboni driver must solve a grisly murder to clear his name…and ready the ice for that night’s hockey game. It feels a bit like Murder She Wrote meets Death By Dying, wrapped up in an incredibly fun mystery. So today, we hope you enjoy episode one of Sorry about the Murder!

Hello detectives! We are about to wrap recordings on season 2--in fact, we invite you to join us on September 28th as we take over the Fable and Folly Instagram account and take you inside our final recording of the season! In the meantime, however, we want to invite you to check out a fantastic show called Divorce Ranch! Not only is Divorce Ranch a full cast, grand-scale whodunit, and not only is it a show that toes the line between comedy and drama, and not only is it a contained, under-3-hour story with a second season soon to come—it also takes an irreverent look at history that is both authentic and fresh, with new, modern perspectives on a the past about the people who get left in the margins of history. For listeners of Fawx & Stallion that like any and all of those things in our show, we think you will love Divorce Ranch. In fact, we’re so sure of it that we’re sharing their first episode on the feed today. From our detectives to theirs, we hope you enjoy.  Find more information on their website, and find them wherever you listen to podcasts! Learn more about your ad choices.

Listeners on the tour discover art both real and imagined, experience an array of strange encounters, and gain insights into the life of the Estate’s enigmatic, eponymous founder.

One year into investigating her sister’s murder, Quinn finds her first major lead — reigniting bitter feuds with the media, law enforcement, and an unhinged group of conspiracy theorists.
