A Hercule Poirot Amuse-Bouche: The Affair at the Victory Ball by Agatha Christie

How have we not covered Christie's first published Poirot short story yet?! Consider this a master class in some of the fundamental tropes she would go on to use many, many times. Actors, costumes, a temporal deception, even the harlequinade! Add to that a real-world, "ripped-from-the-headlines" analogue, and what more could two Christie podcasters want? (Well, we could always use more Miss Lemon in the Suchet adaptation, but we can't have everything.)
