We were late this week, so you lucky listeners get an extra long episode. Kalinda and Ivy faff about for 20 minutes talking about Johnathan Creek, Pretty Derby, and all the other television we've been watching lately. (If you want to skip to the Murdoch goods, it starts at 21:45. Don't worry, I won't tell.) We also discuss concussions, the Pinkertons, union busters, precipitin tests, blood type personality theory, and a whole lot more! So buckle up for this breakdown of Murdoch Mysteries Season 1 Episode 6: Let Loose the Dogs.
