Episodes

  1. Bonus: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (Part 2)

    Sign me up for the MasterClass where Miss Fisher teaches astrolabe reading! And, perhaps camels? While we're not sure who's giving those camels rubdowns after the sacking of the cameleer, we have no complaints about the movie physics that result in Phryne launching out of quicksand onto Jack's...

  2. Bonus: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (Part 1)(!)

    At long last, we tackle THE MISS FISHER MOVIE. In true Every Lady Needs a Hobby fashion, this episode includes a scene-by-scene recap of the first half of the movie, with exactly the right amount of digression into hastily Googled facts, tangential personal anecdotes, and discussion of how...

  3. S3E8: Death Do Us Part

    We've come at last to the FINAL EPISODE. And while that kiss does wait until literally the last minute, some might argue (Genevieve) that that's exactly perfect for a show with a permanent, sizzling undertone of unending sexual tension, some (MacKenzie) point out that they could have kissed...

  4. S3E7: Game, Set & Murder

    At long last, we've come to The Spider Episode. Not only does this episode feature a 10/10 murder method, it features A Very Healthy Amount of sexual tension. We're left wondering: is Stanley Burrows an old friend of Aunt Prudence's or an Old Friend? Plus, did tennis stars in the 1920s travel…

    more
  5. S3E6: Death at the Grand

    If you thought Phryne being able to speak Polish was the skill of the week on this one, you'd be wrong! While we think there should be altogether more ghosts in this episode, there's just exactly the right amount of Aunt Prudence at her irate best. You know when an elderly relative dishes on your...

  6. S3E5: Death and Hysteria

    Don't you hate it when your house is overrun with women with nervous troubles? You let one in and the next thing you know you have a whole sanitarium on your hands. We're joined by guest host Sarah and discuss the need for another episode where Phryne goes undercover at the rodeo and we get to…

    more
  7. S3E4: Blood and Money

    Full disclosure: we recorded this episode a few weeks/a thousand years ago before we were all in self-isolation because of COVID-19. Stay safe and healthy, friends. Wash your hands. Stay home. And listen along as Phryne achieves such feats as staying up all night, drinking a Bloody Mary with...

  8. Bonus: #LivingRoomPremieres

    Miss Fisher Fans! Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears will be available for streaming TOMORROW, Monday, March 23. Let's all make it a huge deal, even though we're stuck at home. Dress up, stream on Acorn TV, and post on social media with #LivingRoomPremieres to be in on the action. We saw it in...

  9. S3E3: Murder & Mozzarella

    What's more ludicrous than a marinara boot print? Allowing yourself to be seduced by an Italian restaurateur without getting a meal out of it first! We learn that Phryne listens to Joni Mitchell and Concetta listens to Cher (obviously), and make apology for many Italian accent impersonations…

    more
  10. S3E2: Murder and the Maiden

    We're joined by guest host Dan for this episode to get a manly perspective on Miss Fisher. He thinks that Miss Fisher should track down the real killer: the tobacco industry (or, is it actually someone we've never suspected but has been right in front of us the whole time?). And, Bert has a love...

  11. S3E1: Death Defying Feats

    We're back, baby, we're back for Season 3- and once again, it's murder, folks. Dot is MVP this episode (give that woman a raise!), but the Baron's nerve tonic comes in a close second by teeing up that classic speech from Jack about liberal-minded men. While we have some questions about why you...

  12. S2E13: Murder Under the Mistletoe

    For this Christmas special, we've created an extra special podcast! This episode will only make sense if you watch along while you listen. PLUS, there's a drinking game to play while you watch. Queue up the episode, download the podcast, and pour yourself a drink. Here are the rules: drink every...

  13. Bonus: Interview with Greg J. Walker

    We're going back in time to Miss Fisher Con, where we talked to Greg Walker, composer for Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and for Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears! We talk music (including some music themed murder plot line ideas), our shared love of Agatha Christie, but sadly no movie spoilers....

  14. Bonus: Ms. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries E4

    "Dip another pretzel into that martini and let's get down to business. We don't have time to fight over a man!" We lament the end of MOD while joined once again by guest host Maddie. Topics discussed include not only "Seasoned Murder" but the Bachelorette, Britney Spears' Instagram account, and…

    more
  15. Bonus Pod LIVE EPISODE: Miss Fisher Con

    In case you missed us at Miss Fisher Con, you can still catch the recording of our session right here! In this special episode we finally disclose the results of the listener poll, challenge audience members to Miss Fisher trivia, and interview Lynn Reed, Associate Producer for Miss Fisher and…

    more
  16. Bonus: Miss Fisher Con Recap with the Miss Fisher Philes!

    In a truly epic meeting of the microphones, we joined forces with the Miss Fisher Philes podcast and recorded a recap at the end of Miss Fisher Con! Meeting Mary and JoJo was a highlight of Con for us, but there were a bunch of others too! If you weren't able to join at the Con, it will almost be...

  17. Bonus: Ms. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries E3

    ...OR Ms Fisher's Modern X-Files.... In this "genre-bending" episode we discuss whether perhaps all helicopters we've ever seen were really UFOs. We also learn that tel-ex machines are perhaps even better than cell phones. Also, since it's 2019, we think there should be coffee cabana-boys in our...

  18. S2E12: Unnatural Habits

    We had to get the sexual tension meter repaired after the first watch-through of this episode. After a trip to Home Depot for parts and some re-calibration, the rating was STILL off the charts. Not only do we get an almost-kiss for the ages, but Mr. Shiny Suit Sidney Fletcher and Corrupt Cop...

  19. Bonus: Ms. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries E2

    We follow Dead Air on MFMM with Dead Beat on Modern, both featuring murders on air and double murders (RIP Oswald I and II). Guest host Maddie joins us once again as we discuss Modern Mysteries E2 and tells us about surfing as well as indoor surf fitness classes (apparently a thing!). There's an...

  20. Bonus: Listener Poll!

    Listener poll is live at everyladyneedsahobby.com/poll! Whether you're joining us in July at Miss Fisher Con (and we really hope you are!) or not, we want to hear from YOU! As you know, every episode, we do ratings at the end for best and worst outfit, murder method, sexual tension, and more....

  21. S2E11: Dead Air

    "Good luck with those bird calls, she's mine!" With some minor diversions into the history of radio broadcasting (let us know if you'd prefer we switch topics permanently), we discuss Undercover Jack, just how close Phryne and Jack's faces get, and of course, bird call impersonators who get a...

  22. Bonus: Ms. Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries E1

    Join us, along with special correspondent Maddie, as we discuss Just Murdered, the very first episode of the very first Miss Fisher spin off! We're pretty excited about Peregrine's matching crop top pajama sets, Phryne's new car, and of course the handsome James Steed (even if he'll never hold a...

  23. S2E10: Death on the Vine

    Pour yourself another glass of wine, because this is the grape stompin' episode. We discuss at length Phryne getting lured into a vat of grapes, but also whether that snake is real, CGI, or animatronic. Mackenzie gives Jack a middle initial and Genevieve discovers that she has a murderer's name...

  24. S2E9: Framed for Murder

    This may not be our favorite episode, but we'd still rather watch it than any Marvel movie. Dot and Hugh add to their resume skills sections by continuing to develop trash searching and torn up paper reassembling abilities, plus Bert gets assigned several jobs requiring Outfits that he is Annoyed...

  25. BONUS POD: Preview of Miss Fisher Con 2019

    Join us for a conversation with Jennifer Aldrich of the Adventuresses' Club of the Americas about Miss Fisher Con 2019, her travels to Australia to be an extra in the Miss Fisher movie, plus (of course) some of her favorite moments (and outfits) from all of Miss Fisher. We're EVEN MORE excited…

    more
  26. S2E8: The Blood of Juana the Mad

    Just as many Mike Pence references as Harry Potter references for some reason, but don't worry, we promise it won't happen again. We also discuss how Every Lady Needs a Velvet Jacket (new podcast title?) and how we would be terrible spies. Plus, Jack and Phryne have some DTR talks and Dr. Mac…

    more
  27. S2E7: Blood at the Wheel

    Lady racecar drivers, Undercover Dot, and more than you needed to know about MacKenzie and Genevieve's respective senior pranks. We're very suspicious about how frequently Jack and Phryne seem to play checkers together, while Phryne seems intent on plowing through Jack's emotional distress. Plus,...

  28. S2E6: Marked for Murder

    It's always murder, and this time, hairy-butt Harry Harper the Hangman is definitely dead. And as Miss Fisher would put it, what's awkward compared to dying naked in the shower with the opposition's scarf around your throat? Tune in as we discuss how necessary the subtitles are, learn that…

    more
  29. S2E5: Murder a la Mode

    This week's podcast is hosted by none other than the MURDERER HERSELF! Just kidding, though we do make some contingency plans in case Genevieve does end up behind bars for being a jewel thief. This week's episode also features Jack letting Phryne do all the work and simply enjoying the sizzling...

  30. S2E4: Deadweight

    Not only does Phryne get the job done, as always, on the murder investigation front, she also flirts expertly, eats ice cream suggestively for the second week in a row, PLUS achieves everyone's teenage fantasy: riding a roller coaster with your crush! Gang leader Freckles may not have any…

    more
  31. S2E3: Dead Man's Chest

    "Away, away with rum, by gum!" Who could the murderer be in this episode? Could it be the man with the baggiest pants? Lots of sly grog antics, plus some of our favorite scenes that may or may not be recreated during this week's podcast.

  32. S2E2: Death Comes Knocking

    The private detecting heads to the bedroom (wink wink), Jack gets invited to a seance just so he can hold Phryne's hand, and more discussion of Batman than you would think in the week's episode of Every Lady Needs a Hobby! Plus, MacKenzie shakes up the sexual tension scale by introducing a...

  33. S2E1: Murder Most Scandalous

    It’s fan dance time! We’re back for season 2, so start off 2019 with some Undercover Phryne as she goes straight from a fan dance to some hard hitting questions. We also have some ideas for how Jack could employ fan dancing for his investigations, and what Imperial Club owner Madame Leon would be...

  34. S1E13: King Memses Curse

    Foyled again! We'll never know if Murdoch Foyle really was the reincarnation of King Memses, (more popularly known these days as King Memes) because as usual, a meddling lady detective got in his way and ruined everything. No complaints from us though because we get more screen time for…

    more
  35. S1E12: Murder in the Dark

    If you love disheveled Jack as much as we do (and we bet you do!), don't miss S1E12 Murder in the Dark, aka the BEST episode of Season 1. In addition to a thorough treatment of the steamiest scene on TV, you'll get the lengthy discussion of caramel/toffee apples you never knew you needed, and…

    more
  36. S1E11: Blood and Circuses

    Undercover Phryne very obviously investigates a murder, the strong-man Samson stays far too clothed and performs far too few feats of strength for our liking, and Miss Fisher lurks in a VERY flirtatious manner. MacKenzie manages to work in more Harry Potter references than you might think…

    more
  37. S1E10: Death by Miss Adventure

    In which Aunt P exercises her scolding skills, and we discuss the logistics of texting via telegram: "Tap tap tap tap... U Up?". Undercover Dot has a lucky job search and the factory foreman engages in skulking and other duties as assigned.

  38. S1E9: Queen of the Flowers

    More like Queen of the Teen Angst. "Pyro" and "Klepto" probably shop at Hot Topic and Jack drinks some sediment-laced whiskey, all in the line of duty. Plus, we discuss our own angst-ridden teenage years for some bonus personal content.

  39. S1E8: Away with the Fairies

    In which Mrs. Opie AND the building's pipes get worked on..... Also, due to multiple instances of lingering hand contact, up and down glances, and faces being 2 inches apart, the sexual tension breaks the rating scale this week. You might not act so blasé if two of your coworkers/employees were...

  40. S1E7: Murder in Montparnasse

    Yes, it's THAT episode! Don't worry, we discuss a certain scene at length, but also cover how once again the local clods are useless, and ponder what Dot's priest would say about posing nude for a French artist.

  41. S1E6: Ruddy Gore

    When a man has been a naughty baronet.... he'll get cursed by a witch! Ruddy Gore may not have been a very popular operetta, but we can't get enough of Jack and Phryne in this episode. Heavy breathing and wood grasping ensues, plus Dot gets an autograph from "Gwilderoy Lockhart-Evans". We never…

    more
  42. S1E5: Raisins and Almonds

    This is the one where we talk about trail mix. Cec and Bert need to talk about their feelings, and the bodies are piling up again. Also, Miss Fisher puts her black beret on, so we know there' going to be some action!

  43. S1 E4: Death at Victoria Dock

    It's long folks, but don't worry, we have plenty of jokes about afternoon delight plus some light historical context on the Siege of Sidney Street. If you're reading this on our website, did you know you can also subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or Google Play Music? Please do :)

  44. S1 E3: The Green Mill Murder

    Open wide listeners, here comes the sexy airplane! In this week's episode, we wonder why the bad part of town is always so smoky? And will being 'hopped up on jazz' stand up in court? And finally, how close is the dancing at the fireman's and policeman's ball? We need answers!

  45. S1 E2: Murder on the Ballarat Train

    The *smartest* criminals commit crimes in striped jackets, Miss Fisher is selective in her lustful compromise, and Eunice learns a lesson about being a useless woman. MacKenzie and Genevieve discuss these important issues and more in episode 2 of Every Lady Needs a Hobby.

  46. Introducing: Every Lady Needs a Hobby

    check out this short introduction to our new podcast: Every Lady Needs a Hobby.

  47. S1E1: Cocaine Blues

    What’s the going rate for an illegal botched abortion in 1920s Melbourne? And how easy is it really to steal someone’s earrings right off their ears? Tune in to our discussion of this episode to hear the answers to these questions and more, including our best and worst dressed of the week.
