All About The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie (Spoiler-Free!)

Perhaps it was inevitable that an episode about the
longest-running play in history would be the longest episode ever
produced on this podcast.... And yet there's nary a spoiler in
it; so tuck in, safe in the knowledge that the secret of The
Mousetrap remains safely locked in my heart.


Nibble nibble. Squeak squeak.


Special thanks to my guests Phil O'Neill and Scott Ratner, and to
Nick Cardillo and Christopher Diehl for their invaluable
contributions.
