Arsène Lupin: The Gentleman

from Fictional

The story of Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief, begins with him sending a letter to a baron with the exact date and time he will rob the man. The baron immediately contacts the best detective in France. ...oh and Arsène Lupin is actually in prison so the armed guards, locked gates, and flooded tunnels seem like overkill. But...this is Arsène Lupin, so, of course, the poor Baron doesn't even stand a chance. -- Three fun announcements: 1. We have a new show!

X Man: The Elon Musk Origin Story Pushkin Industries and BBC Radio 4 The story of Elon Musk, the way it's often told, makes him sound like a fictional character, a comic-book superhero – or, especially lately, a supervillain. As the world's richest man, the US President’s right-hand man, and the owner of X, he’s possibly the world’s most powerful man. Musk wants to build robots and colonise Mars and appears to be dismantling sizable parts of the US government. His vision of the future seems to stem from the science fiction that has fueled his imagination since he was a boy. But what's the real story, the true history, behind Musk’s sense of destiny? Back in 2021 Harvard history professor and New Yorker writer Jill Lepore became fascinated by this question. So she made a podcast that tried to explain Musk through the science fiction he grew up with. A lot has happened in the four years since. So she’s gone back in to bring the story up to date.“X Man: The Elon Musk Origin Story” is a production of the BBC and distributed by Pushkin Industries. 108.9 The Hawk with Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock 108.9 The Hawk is a classic-rock radio station broadcasting from Val Verde, the strangest city in America.

New episodes every Friday.<b Agatha Christie BBC Dramatisations Fourble BBC radio have produced over 70 full cast adaptations of Agatha Christie’s beloved crime stories, including Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.Hercule Poirot is one of the most famous fictional characters of all time, known for his Belgian accent, waxed moustaches, perfectionism and “little grey cells”. Poirot would be the first to call himself a great man – he has never been known for his modesty – but with such success in his career, it is difficult to argue with him.Miss Marple doesn’t look like a detective. But looks can be deceiving… this apparently unassuming woman from the small village of St Mary Mead is surprisingly worldly and uses the fact people underestimate her to full advantage when investigating.
