Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine Mystery Podcasts

EQMM Podcasts, listed by author and linked.

Updated with recent podcasts, August 2022.

Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, 81 years and counting, is the premium venue for short mystery fiction. They maintain a podcast with a Murderer's Row of murder-minded authors, now up to 152 entries. Each episode is a reading of a quality mystery story that has appeared on their pages. On their podcast webpage they present the stories by most recent entry. I have presented them below, sorted by author's last name. 

Although many of the authors are award-winners, I mentioned awards only for those tied to the specific story in question. In a complementary post, the podcasts from Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine are similarly indexed and linked. I hope to update that link soon.
