Episode 63: Flavia de Luce
March 28, 2024 09:00 - 1 hour - 47 MBIn 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 un...
Episode 62: Nancy Drew Digs Up A National Landmark
March 14, 2024 09:00 - 1 hour - 42.6 MBIn 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 l...
Episode 61: Nancy Drew Does The Chatootsie
February 29, 2024 10:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBIn 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...
Episode 60: Nancy Drew & The Knockout Juice
February 01, 2024 10:00 - 55 minutes - 37.8 MBThis week, we’re (begrudgingly and against our better judgement) talking about Nancy Drew and The Phantom of Pine Hill. Kelly would solve the mystery with a Chapter 2 slumber party, Karen would have passed on this case entirely, and Fifi-the-Cat joins the pod. Nancy and Ned engage in some real intense PDA, Dave gets stuck in a chimney, Bess is the hero we’ve always needed, Nancy gets concussed (again), and Ned is a real Dad-jokes kinda’ poet. 6 out of 12 padlocked libraries. Recommend...
Episode 59: Nancy Drew & Everything's Jake
January 18, 2024 10:00 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBIn this episode, let’s investigate The Clue of the Whistling Bagpipes so we can go to Scotland with the Clue Crew! But first, Karen is a baby lamb toucher, did you know Kelly was in Brigadoon?, and our friend Bingo makes a special guest appearance (no spoilers!). Sheep rustling is a whole thing, Nancy is a bag pipetress, vehicular incidents are at an all-time high, and we talk about Outlander an upsetting amount. Rated 9 out of 12 Baby Lambs (redundancy intended) Recommendations: Netfli...
Episode 58: Baby-sitters’ Haunted House
December 14, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 52.7 MBIn this Super Sleuth episode, we talk about our first-ever Baby-sitter’s Club Book - Super Mystery #1. Karen is a Mary Anne / Dawn / Karen Brewer hybrid, and Kelly is a Kristy (shocker). Kelly gets a brand, Karen made it through roller derby, and we want to watch Elf while reading a book and taking a nap. Karen gets the hiccups, Georgio is ILLEGAL, and we learn how to drop a dime. The Venn diagram overlap with the Nancy-verse and the BSC is substantial, and we’re here for it! Rated 12 ou...
Episode 57: The Hardy Bros
November 30, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 54.9 MBIn Episode 57, let’s talk about our very first Hardy Boys book - The Tower Treasure! (Spoiler alert, we both friggin’ love the Hardy Boys now!). But first, Kelly loves an earmuff, Karen has a brain meld with Will Shortz, the word “panopticon” is used for the first time on this show, and Aileen’s gonna hook us up with proof of robotic puppets. Over in . . . Bayside? Baywatch? Bayport?….we have our first perishing, there’s lots of reckless driving, and Joe & Frank get paid even though they pro...
Episode 56: Nancy Drew & A Mouthful of Tuna Salad
November 16, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 55.7 MBLet’s dig into Nancy Drew & the Moonstone Castle Mystery! But first, we’re in the chute to the holidays, Kelly’s crowd sourcing a cookie recipe, and Karen had a full-on mail mystery. Meanwhile, George and Bess are full-on BEEFING, the entire Clue Crew finally gets arrested, we’re missing a people talker to tell us about the random castle in the middle of Indiana, Nancy fears being a friendship pusher but is an #influencer, and moats are swum (ew). A group of Corvettes is a cascade, Mrs. Hems...
Episode 55: Nancy Drew & A Healthy Fear of Electricity
November 02, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBIn Episode 55, we discuss Nancy Drew & The Clue of the Dancing Puppet. First though, Kelly tells us about The Soupening, Karen is in “snuggalump mode”, and we get to see each other this week IRL! Tammy puts the A in “Amateur” but needed more villainous agency, Nancy receives a gratuitous number of head injuries, and some California-based slippery operators slap a giant puppet on a non-existent problem, which seems like a bad idea. In other news, we left in some outtakes, Kelly references a r...
Episode 54: Nancy Drew & The Rogue's Gallery
October 19, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 46.7 MBLet's go to Hong Kong with Nancy Drew in "The Mystery of the Fire Dragon"! It is well nigh Halloween, Karen has been going all around but found time to update her eyeballs, and Kelly has read so many vampire books she's terrified after sundown. This book is a solid "meh" on the Nancy-o-Meter, but on the plus side: there's a stop in NYC before a trip to Hong Kong, and a bookstore smuggling front that is giving "Joe-from-You Bookstore Lair" vibes. Everyone gets individually kidnapped, we belie...
Episode 53: Nancy Drew & the Vacation Boyfriends
September 28, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBLet's go to Adult Summer Camp & investigate "The Clue in the Old Stagecoach" with the Clue Crew! Karen wants to know which side of the tree lichen grows on, and Kelly wants to flirt around a campfire in a uniform. Then on to one of our favorite light-hearted, laugh-out-loud funny capers yet! Nancy solves the mystery of Sally the Bear, the gals are hilarious water ballet-ers, Rick demonstrates Kenergy, and we get a valuable PSA about the importance of dead tree removal. Don't forget to Googer...
Episode 52: Nancy Drew & 24 Regular Scorps
September 14, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 42.4 MBIn Episode 52, the Clue Crew heads to Hawaii to investigate The Secret of the Golden Pavillion! Karen loved the horror elements of this book, but not the gratuitous Mr. Rogers-ing. Nancy almost gets taken down by tripping off a volcano, and she probably irons her underwear. Kelly rebrands magnifying glasses and can’t remember Gilligan’s Island. Togo is a prize winner and is rewarded in scritches and helicopters. And the boyfriends survive a near-miss and help take down a bunch of scorps. All...

May 11, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBIn this Super Sleuth episode, we delve into the genius brain of Encyclopedia Brown: Boy Detective, following which we have a few mysteries of our own to solve such as: The Mystery of the Missing Golf Ball The Clue of the Burlesque Racing Snake The Secret Behind Corporate Jargon Kelly apologizes in advance for turning pages directly into her microphone, we verbally generate an Encyclopedia / Nancy Venn Diagram, and Karen yada yadas through a watermelon robbery.

Episode 48: Nancy Drew & the Peacock Stilts
April 27, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 49.7 MBLet's chat about Nancy Drew & the Hidden Window Mystery! Are you superstitious, neutralstitious or substitious? Karen encounters a loose dog, Kelly is distracted by a decimated tailbone, Nancy sinks a canoe for old time's sake, Bess steals the show yet again, Luke and Annette fake date, and phones get un-invented. This book is filled with unnecessary double peacockery which may or may not be a good thing. Rated 8 out of 12 screaming peacocks. (Did we mention peacocks?) Nancy Drew Acti...
Episode 47: Nancy Drew & A Sack of Donuts

Episode 46: Nancy Drew & Too Many Centrovians
March 30, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 48.8 MBIn this episode of It’s A Clue, we delve into Nancy Drew & the Scarlet Slipper Mystery. Spoiler Alert: we hated it. In Karen’s words, “a swing and a miss”. In some positive news, we learn that Karen doesn’t rob bookstores, Kelly’s joining bookclubs, and Nancy has perfected her fall-downs. Written by Shark Shooter McGee, and sponsored by heavy sighing.

December 22, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 57.1 MBIn this episode, we discuss "The Final Gambit", the third book in the Inheritance Games trilogy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.

October 13, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBIn this episode, the chimneys lean, the pottery is forged, and we dip a toe into the forensics pool. You guessed it - this week, it's all about Nancy Drew & the Clue of the Leaning Chimney! In addition to a very complex plot rife with intrigue, thievery, and kidnappings, we get jealous boyfriends, fake Helens, bouquet dodging, and yet another unsatisfactory gift in exchange for Nancy's hard work.

Kelly & Karen realize they're guppies, not sharks (in the swimming sense, and not a reflection of internalized self-worth). Karen tells us about a near-miss, Kelly apparently has a beef with Lamb Chop, and we share a listener email that may bring a tear to your eye.

The sequel to the Inheritance Games, this book doubles down on the puzzles, teen drama, and thrillery goodness we have all come to cherish. Karen does an impromptu William Blake poetry recitation and Kelly blows it out of the water with her theories for the conclusion of the trilogy.

Episode 24: Nancy Drew & 24 Too Many Cats
September 16, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 54.8 MBWhelp, it finally happened. We mistakenly read different versions of "The Clue of the Tapping Heels". Regardless of the (many and insane) divergences, both feature garage-fulls of titian-furred cats, midnight tapping, tap dancing, morse code taps, and a Tony-Award winning off-off -off Broadway production of "The Tapping Heels". Join us as we discuss the two different iterations of this book, recap how chickens work, reveal how not to dismantle a bomb, and reminisce about our long-lost love ...
Episode 23: Tuna of the Sky
September 09, 2021 08:00 - 53 minutes - 36.7 MBIn Episode 23, we didn't want to read anything because it's hot out, so instead, we heated up our kitchens for 90 minutes and cooked a classic Nancy Drew / Hannah Gruen 1930s recipe: creamed (canned) chicken on burned (canned) bread. (Note: We added the burning all on our own.). In this poorly-done, unintentional ASMR episode, we burn our fingers, sister-splain measuring spoons, and play "What's that taste?" with a new-to-us pantry staple, tinned bread. For reference, this dish is serve...

August 19, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBThis week we chat about "Nancy Drew and the Haunted Bridge" which, spoiler alert, is completely not haunted even a little bit. Karen ruins her life by seeking out haunted bridge tales, and Kelly wants a kidney-shaped pool in her survival bunker. We bemoan the ungodly amount of golf in this book, decide that our loyalty to Ned is about to be recalled, and watch in awe as George wins the entire book by "achieving the prize boo boo." ***Trigger warning for discussions of hauntings and racial...
