Dying Message: The Detective Anime Mystery Podcast

A beach trip leads us to an underwater locked room in Detective Academy Q: Episode 15 with mystery guest Katie Gansler. It's your typical anime beach episode with lots of scuba diving and murder sprinkled in. Mike's on hand to tell us about beach episodes, while mystery guest and diver Katie explores the plausibility of this scuba-centric murder. Podcast cover art by Myriam Bloom. Music excerpted from "Solve the Damn Mystery!" by Jesse Spillane. Thank you to our mystery guest Katie Gansler.

A "jewel summoner" is the weirdest thing we've encountered yet in Detective Academy Q: Episode 35 with mystery guest Derek Hayes When the world's least successful cult leader plants a bomb in an empty department store, Kyu is determined to protect the institution of retail. (Please, no one tell him about Amazon!) Plus: a Pokemon mystery, and a review of Supermarket Sweep. Podcast cover art by Myriam Bloom.

We buckle down to it and ride a roller coaster in Detective Conan (Case Closed) Episode 1 with our mystery guest -- Katie Cwirko, our podcast's fantastic pilot person. It's the pilot episode that launched 1000 further episodes. That's right! This week, we tackle the 1000-episode murder mystery behemoth that is Detective Conan and fulfill the promise in our preview episode to explain what it's all about. Along the way, we stop at a theme park that is not up to code, and make some very personally invasive deductions. Podcast cover art by Myriam Bloom.

We spoil one of the most unexpected endings of any mystery novel, and find out who will be crowned "Detective Champion" on Part 2 of Dying Message Challenge. This is the gameshow/bookclub two-part spin-off conclusion you have been waiting for! It's an all out (and very courteous brawl) as we finally get some time to dive into all the secrets in this book. Warning: We are utterly spoiling the ending of the murder mystery Murder in the Crooked House by Sojia Shimada. If you haven't listened to Part 1, you'll want to start there (It was episode 13 of the podcast). Spin-off podcast cover art by Myriam Bloom. Music excerpted from "Face Punch" by Jesse Spillane.
