Professor Kim Holst, of Arizona State University, shares strategies for addressing social justice issues in her Advocacy classes.

It was a dream come true to finally get to meet Marion Boyce, costume designer for Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. Her fabulous pieces on the show add depth to the characters and visual harmony to the sets, making us feel like we were having our cake and eating it too. In February 2020, Mary got to sit down with Marion in her fabulous Melbourne stu…

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 set. Now that the movie is out, we can FINALLY share this recording with you! Please be advised: we were sooooo loopy from a 15-hour filming day, so this recording i…

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 Genevieve, the fabulous women behind the Every Lady Needs a Hobby podcast. We love hearing how other fans nerd out about this show, and it was e…

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 of spiders, the awfulness that is Fredrick Burn, gratuitous pinning, and the implausibility of Constance’s situation. We also talk abou…

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 that brings out a new side of her relationship with Jack. We swoon over the hotel and that amazing staircase, and we talk about the delightful costumes like the “Pebble C…

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 on some, erm, delicate matters, and Dot schools the sexist constable. We also talk about the history of “Hysteria,” Freud, and the orig…

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 being a jerk and Jack is being obtuse. Your Hosts Chandler O’Leary Mary Holste Check out our merch! The Miss Fisher Philes Etsy Shop Miss …

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 as well and proved to be a “darling man,” as Kerry puts it. It was such an honor to speak with the woman who created the Phryne Universe, and we are very gra…

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 between Phryne and Jack now that Concetta has entered the scene, and why it’s only fair that Phryne gets her Bond Girl. Mentioned in …

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 love. Hugh, no more trying to restrict Dot to “womanly” duties (e.g. wedding planning). She’s good at her job and has much help to offer you, if you’ll only let he…

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 also geek out over Miss Fisher! This episode is a loose rundown of highlights of the Con. We tried to capture the feel of the weekend for those of you who couldn’t be th…

Ruby Rees 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, her role, and what it was like to work with her fellow Miss Fisher cast members. She also discussed other projects, like the recent Picnic at Hanging …

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 the origin of her “look” for the Con, which can be summed up with this equation: Carrie Bradshaw + Fraggle Bag Lady + Phryne Fisher = Phryne Frag…

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 reason she started podcasting), he is also the author of several mysteries and enjoys talking plot. Speaking of—this episode has a bizarre one! …

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 good job of fleshing out each character a bit more. Did we know Mr. Butler owned an arsenal? Nope. Ha…

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 created the show, what they want to accomplish with the movie, and how it feels to work on a show with such a devoted fan base. Some favorite moments from the inte…

The Miss Fisher Philes are headed to Australia!!! We’re making the journey to Oz in July of 2018 to be extras in Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears, and we are beyond excited! We’ll be reporting on our adventures on both this podcast and our new travel podcast, Miss Adventure. (If you haven’t checked it out yet, give it a listen!) Do you live in th…

Hello, fellow Miss Fisher Philes! As our MFMM episode recaps near the end of Season 2, a question we’ve heard from listeners… “what will you do when you reach the end of the show?”… has been looming larger. The truth is we love podcasting and really enjoy conversations with each other, so we have also been wondering what the next step should be. Th…

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 Town. We needed to add some color to this otherwise very brown show, so we invited back the always-fabulous JoJo Stiletto to help us dissect this …

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 of the “talkie,” Mary questions the singular use of the b-word, we applaud Phryne’s ability to win over a film…

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! What is the point of the Book of Hours in this show? WE HAVE NO IDEA. But Chandler explains their original function in eccles…

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, so we could just continue the post-Con glow. We tried to recap that entire weekend to the best of our ability, but we realized later that we forgot to mention the panel right before our…

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 shenanigans, and other interesting tidbits. We hope you enjoy listening to “a couple of Aussie blokes who like to hang shit on each other.” We sure …

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, and Phryne takes the wheel to save the day. Also—that last scene. Ded. Your Hosts Chandler O’Leary Mary Holste由Chandler O'Leary and Mary Holste

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 MFMM has ruined for Mary. Other stuff that comes up: Les Passementaries Horribles by Edward Gorey Photos of the original work at the Edward Go…

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 trials of adolescence, sad irons, and geek out over the costumes (as usual). Other stuff that comes up: #thedress: is it blue and b…

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 gets to shine in this one, and we get to see Dot stand up to a gang leader in order to defend her man—resulting in one of our fa…

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 you through each set where we nerd out over the concept and costumes. It felt a bit like trying to narrate a figure sk…

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 bar cart is sadly lacking. But don’t worry—the banter will keep you warm As usual, we talk costumes, characters, and themes in the show. But also as usual, there is plenty …

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 topic. So fair warning—the first part of this podcast is very political. If you don’t want to hear our political talk, I would suggest you skip…

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 a burlesque performer and producer, and her specialty is creating burlesque shows that blend feminism and pop culture, such as the Burl-X-Files, a s…

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. And, as you would expect, we go down some serious rabbit holes in this one (Egyptology, Agatha Christie, international trade and how it affec…
