The Columbo Confab Podcast

Accountant Oliver Brandt (Theodore Bikel) is threatened with exposure by his business partner for embezzling funds from their clients.  Brandt executes a Rube Goldberg-esque murder scheme to murder his colleague at the home of the Sigma Society, a club for individuals with remarkably high I.Q.'s.  Brandt soon finds out he may not be the smartest man in the room when Columbo is assigned to the case.  Is this episode as smart as a tack?  Or is it as dumb as a post?

When affluent restaurant critic Paul Gerard (Louis Jourdan) finds himself in a pickle of a disagreement with the owner of a successful Italian restaurant, he kills the main by poisoning a bottle of wine.  Columbo is hot on the case, and he's pretty sure Gerard is his murderer, but he can't figure out how the poison got into the bottle.  Is this one a Michelin three star?  Or is it as palatable as a gas station burrito?  Listen in and find out what Steve and Sean think!

Electronics engineer Harold van Wyke (Oskar Werner) murders his mother-in-law to retain his role in the family business and to cover up his extramarital affairs.  When Columbo stumbles upon the crime scene, however, Van Wyke soon realizes that it's going to take more than just some fancy videotape equipment to outsmart the policeman.  Is this one worthy of the top shelf at Blockbuster?  Or will you find it in the bargain bin at Target?  Listen in and find out what Steve and Sean think!
