Back in November of 2018, Jo Jo and Mary were extras in the ballroom scene on “Crypt of Tears.” That night we recorded our experiences from the very long and exhilarating day we had on…

In this episode we discuss the costumes (obviously), the maddening “I suddenly need to fly my father to the other side of the globe” plotline, the mystifying “that’s because you’re not a telescope” comment, the…
Miss Fisher Con 2019 was a whirlwind of stunning garments, fascinating panels, catching up with fandom friends, and making new ones. One of the highlights for us this year was getting to meet MacKenzie and…
At long last, it’s Mary’s favorite episode!!! And there’s SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT. So many delicious scenes. So many great costumes. We talk about the revelation of Phryne’s Achilles heel and the Australian tolerance…
We can’t wait to be rid of “The Baron of Rich,” but he’s back and causing no end of trouble for Phryne and friends. We talk about the tension between Phryne and her father and how…
All kinds of hijinks ensue when Aunt P lets her doctor turn Rippon Lea into a sanatorium! We’ve got tactical stripping, incest, and Jack and Phryne basically fused together at the waist. Miss Fisher enlightens Jack…
Street urchins being used for scientific experiments is pretty bleak. However, we do manage to find some pleasant things to talk about—like how delightfully handsy Jack is in this episode. In other news, Hugh is…
What a treat it was to lunch with Kerry Greenwood! She had great tales to share, including why she created Phryne and how Phryne helped her avoid calamity. Her lovely partner David was with us…
No more dour anarchists. This time we’re thrust into the world of Italian families in Melbourne who have been rivals for generations. We talk about the influx of Italian immigrants to Australia, the increased tension…
Dear Jack and Hugh, We are extremely disappointed in you. You are acting like pubescent boys and need to dial that male entitlement way back if you’re going to be worthy of the women you…
It’s been a month since Miss Fisher Con 2018, and we are really missing the Phandom! It was such a delight to be in the company of so many intelligent, capable, and kind people who…
It was an honor and a delight to interview Ruby Rees at Miss Fisher Con 2018. Ruby, who plays Phryne’s adopted daughter Jane, proved to be a wealth of information and insight into the show,…
Welcome to Season 3! The fabulous Jo Jo Stiletto joins us once again to discuss the new season, Jealous Jack, polyamory, strong feelings about fonts, the creepy art at SeaTac airport (see image below) and…
Merry Christmas—in June! Chandler is so excited to finally get to talk about the Christmas special! Joining us is Erik Hanberg, special friend of the show: In addition to being Mary’s husband (and the main…
Welcome to the #metoo episode. This one’s a toughie, chock-a-block with emotional triggers. But it’s sooooo good. We talk about how deftly this episode handles difficult subject matter—Magdalene Laundries, rape, human trafficking—while also doing a…
Have we got a show for you! Join us for an amazing chat with Deb Cox and Fiona Eagger of Every Cloud Productions, the team behind Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. We talked about why they…

Kickstarter! Hooray for the news of Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears!!! Go to Kickstarter to pledge, if you haven’t already. The clock is winding down, but there’s still time! And now, welcome to Brown…
It’s the Movie Making episode, where Phryne is suddenly a film investor. There’s precious little banter, the American accents are a little dubious, but we do enjoy the exploration of filmmaking in the ’20s. Chandler talks about the origins…
The Awkward Episode. We’ve decided this is also the AU (Alternate Universe) episode. Phryne and Jack are not quite themselves, and everything’s just a little off. Plus, the plot is extra ridiculous—which is saying something!…
We had such a wonderful time at Miss Fisher Con! We wanted to do a recap for those of you who couldn’t make it so you had a sense of what it was like—and, honestly,…
We just returned from Miss Fisher Con in Las Vegas where we had the great pleasure to sit down with Travis McMahon (Bert) and Anthony Sharpe (Cec) and talk about the show, their process, various on-set…
The car race episode! We see the depth of Jack’s feelings for Phryne right off the bat, and we cringe the rest of the episode as they are completely out of sync. Dot goes undercover,…
Ahhh, the Sports Ball episode. Don’t worry—we talk very, very little about Sports Ball. Instead, we talk tons of menswear and art and design. We also learn about Chandler’s secret collection and the TV shows…
It’s here!!! Chandler’s favorite episode!!! We had SO MUCH FUN with this one (as you can tell by the length). We talk haute couture vs. pret a porter, commiserate with Dot’s clothing battles, discuss belly buzzers, the…
We get lots of Hugh (yay), lots of Phryne’s harlequin coat (boo), and hit on a few themes in this one—Melbourne’s gang scene, boxing, and how the Aboriginal population is treated by society at that time. We love that Hugh…
Welcome to our first-ever Special Edition MFP Podcast! We had such a great time at friend-of-the-show Jo Jo Stiletto’s “Miss Fishnet’s Stripper Mysteries” burlesque show that we just HAD to share it with you. Our play-by-play takes…
Pack your bags! It’s off to the seashore for us as we head to Queenscliff for a bit of R&R. You will definitely want to pack your flask for this one because we hear the McNaster…
Soooo, yeah. It’s been a while. Sorry about that. We recorded this about 10 days after the punch-to-the-gut that was the U.S. election. Things were still pretty fresh and there was no way we could avoid the…
Welcome to Season Two! A whole new season of characters, costumes and Phrack to obsess over. And to start things off with a bang, we invited the delightful JoJo Stiletto to join us on the show. JoJo is…
Pull up a chair and get comfy, folks, because this is a long one! Rather than try to separate the two-part season finale (“Murder in the Dark” and “King Memses Curse”), we combined them into one mega-episode….
Hurry! Hurry! Step right up! Hear a tale that will shock and amaze you! Learn the secrets of the ancient Romans! Hear the fascinating history of that showgirl costume! Find out who plays the fortune teller!…
We finally get some quality Mac time in this episode! It’s off to the factory we go to investigate the gruesome death of Mac’s lover, Daisy. Phryne misses some very obvious clues that her best friend is distraught. Hugh…
Lots to talk about in this episode, including the seeming pointlessness of proper etiquette for these young women, historic bathing huts, the duplicity of men, the situation with Jane’s mother. And the Judo scene. How we…
Poor, poor Miss Lavender. According to Phryne, she was “cold as a halibut on ice”—and that’s when she was still alive! We talk about cyanotypes, the hidden agenda in women’s magazines in the ’20s, Phryne…
So, I think we ALL know the big deal about this episode. We try so incredibly hard to discuss everything we can think of—bad accents, Post War Phryne, art—while all we really want to talk about is That Scene….
Quick, call Phryne! There’s a ghost in the theatre! Oh, yeah—and murder and stuff. Dot’s crush gets crushed. Hugh does some very important personal research. Jack shows a sudden new interest in theatre. And Phryne “makes…
Hurray! We’re happy to be back to (slightly) happier times with “Raisins and Almonds.” Join us as we talk about kitchen items useful for writing secret messages, the importance of pockets in our clothing, the enigmatic Miss…
We’re not going to lie—this one was tough. War flashbacks, Latvian anarchists, the dockworkers’ strike, a missing young woman, dubious methods for getting Phryne’s attention—just UGH. Thank goodness for names that begin with the letter “A.” 🙂 Your Hosts…
Jazz, blackmail, mugshots, and gratin. We talk about our love/hate relationship with flappers, that amazing dress, themes of “otherness,” the adorableness of Dot and Hugh, and the growing partnership between Phryne and Jack. Your Hosts Chandler O’Leary Mary Holste…
The plot thickens! More wonderful characters are added (Mr. Butler! Jane! the Hispano-Suiza!), we meet a couple bros in silly suits, we experience traveling by rail in the ’20s—and did we detect a bit of…
Welcome to the first episode of The Miss Fisher Philes! We are going to work our way through every episode of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries together, and we hope you will come along for the…
