1. Sex

It's the first full episode of The Swinging Christies! And Mark and Gray are discussing hot topics around sex and the 1960s. How does Agatha Christie write about gender, queerness, feminism, and how often? The answer is: very insightfully, and a lot more than you might think!

The Swinging Christies is a Christie Time project by Mark Aldridge and Gray Robert Brown.
