Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! This episode tackles another iconic and influential detective: Father Brown! We chat about this scrungly little priest who has heard all the deepest darkest secrets from criminals, and now puts that knowledge to use to catch them. And sometimes befriend them! (We all become huge fans of Flambeau basically right away.) As we make our way through the first six stories in this collection, we chat about lapsed Catholics, Amelia Bedelia, beating up police officers on Christmas (as all good socialists would), and how Father Brown always takes note of the service staff when others don't. And yes, we talk about the CLOCKWORK AUTOMATONS.
NEXT TIME: The second half of G.K. Chesterton's "The Innocence of Father Brown"
