1h 27m · It's A Clue · 29 Feb 10:00

In Episode 61, we talk all about Nancy Drew & The Mystery of the 99 Steps!

Let’s head off to France with the Clue Crew to explore 400 chateaux, count 2,000 steps, evade one Mr. 9, and have run ins with at least 5 Auberts. Carson disingenuously offers to share his fee with Nancy, George gets yoinked by the throat, Bess continues to demonstrate sound judgement, and Ned probably cried and cried because HENRI!

In other news, we talk about cartoons with tasting menu recommendations, Karen is going to punk up an AG and discovers she likes a “big bad”, Kelly is going to a cryptid festival and needs a subterranean alchemical lair IRL, and we need those Super Sleuth recs from our listeners!

Episode 65: Nancy Drew & the D(u)ress Code

In episode 65 of It's A Clue, we discover our new favorite book, Nancy Drew & the Invisible Intruder! Helen is BACK, and The Clue Crew teams up with a pack of married couples to investigate, like, five different hauntings and sea-shell thefts. Rita has ESP, Bess loves Dave, George has amazing illustrated hair, Ned is the most kidnappable boy ever, and Nancy adds some soft skills to her resume. Plus, ring-around-the diplodocus skeleton is a thing that occurs.

Episode 64: Nancy Drew Goes On Safari!

In Episode 64, we talk about Nancy Drew and the Spider Sapphire Mystery! But first: Karen is moving into her hammock, Kelly is off to the Space Needle, and we learn a new vocab word: ossicones! Giraffes aside, Ned and George get 'napped, Gwen gets reformed and needs her own book, the Emerson guys get in a "dust-em-up" and lose horribly, and Nancy sings the amnesia right outta' someone. We both want to go to Africa after reading this book, which you probably will too - caveat being, you've gotta do it Nancy Style with full amenities.

Rated 8.5 / 12 deadly suitcases

Episode 63: Flavia de Luce

In this Super Sleuth episode, we talk about “The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie” - aka, the first in the series about our second favorite girl detective of all time, Flavia de Luce. Karen gives us some great background on author Alan Bradley and how this book came to be. Then we dig into poison lipstick, the love of libraries, priceless stamps, the need for a Clue Crew, and how Nancy and Flavia overlap (and don’t) in the Venn Diagram of Sleuths.

In other news, Karen wants a tertiary understanding of everything in the universe, Kelly wants to visit The Poison Garden, and Karen’s mind is blown by a burning question. Don’t forget - kick ‘em in the Casanovas!

Episode 62: Nancy Drew Digs Up A National Landmark

In episode 62, we "dig" (get it?) into Nancy Drew & The Clue in the Crossword Cipher. First, we discuss extreme weather events IRL, read a letter from Eloise, talk about raver dolls and cryptid fests, and get a thorough history lesson about the Nazca Lines! Then, we go along with the Clue Crew on a Succession-worthy all-expenses paid trip to South America where Nancy & Co:

  • almost get sucked from an airplane
  • dig up a very important archaeological site
  • find a mummy and a treasure
  • and do lots of judo!

Rated 6.5 out of 12 Parachutists
