At Home With Shedunnit

The third anniversary of the "She Done It" podcast marks a retrospective on the evolution of the show and the creator's deep engagement with detective fiction. The project originated from a desire to bridge niche academic interest in Golden Age mysteries with mass appeal, inspired by the work of Martin Edwards. Extensive study of the genre reveals that committing the "perfect murder" is an impossibility, as the host notes that detective fiction consistently highlights the inevitability of detection. The conversation addresses the scarcity of out-of-print Golden Age texts, the transformative role of digital accessibility in book collecting, and the shifting public perception of classic crime fiction through modern adaptations. By balancing personal favorites like Harriet Vane with the logistical realities of producing a show from a home wardrobe, the discussion underscores the community-driven nature of the podcast’s success.
