Episode Notes
This week, host June Thomas talks to Suk Pannu, creator and writer of Mrs. Sidhu Investigates, a British radio drama that became a TV series that’s now available on Acorn TV. In the interview, Suk explains why he wanted to tell the story of a middle-aged Indian auntie who becomes an amateur sleuth. He also talks about the different creative demands of radio and TV and the slightly surrealist nature of amateur sleuth mystery stories.
After the interview, June and co-host Isaac Butler discuss why it’s important to hold onto old ideas that still have potential. They also talk about the importance of radio drama in the UK, and June mentions the BBC’s radio drama resources for aspiring writers.
In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Suk shares some of his favorite mystery TV shows.
