Let's spend some time with G.K. Chesterton, the first president of the Detection Club.

I am running an audience survey for the podcast at the moment to find out more about who my listeners are and what they like and don't like about the show. If you'd like to help me make the podcast better, please head to shedunnitshow.com/survey to fill it out —  it only takes a couple of minutes, and while you're there there'll be a chance to enter a raffle to win a second hand detective novel too.
