A Study in Scarlett CD coverThis week’s podcast continues where we left off last week.  A Study in Scarlett is separated into two different parts.  Last week, we looked at part one.  This week, we look at part two. We start with the passages which outline the events which take place in America and affect the London events which we looked at last week.  Then we begin listening to some of Holmes’ descriptions of his deductions.  Join us for some amazing descriptions of the American western landscape and some exciting events.  There is also a couple bits of trivia about books and reading.

#60-Meet Mr. Holmes & Dr. Watson

A Study in Scarlett CD coverThis week’s podcast is the first of two which samples from my latest in the Narration by George Classics series: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet.  Not only does this story introduce us to Holmes and Watson, but we learn how they met and came to team together.  We also get a look at the process by which Holmes brings his deductive process to the science of crime detection.  This mystery takes us from the streets of London to the desert and mountains of the American West.  Join me for the beginning of the journey!

#58-ReCast: An Interview with Ebeneezer Scrooge

ACC 1-Scrooge DescriptionsThis week features the last of the recasts.  We look back to a very early podcast with a lot of imagination.  How about an interview with Ebeneezer Scrooge?  You remember Scrooge!  He’s the curmudgeon whose greed and avarice hardened his heard against all mankind.  But, he’s visited by three spirits who change his heart and, thus, his actions.  What if you could hear from him now?  I take a stab at this possibility by imagining an interview with the reformed Scrooge!

Yes, this podcast was originally a “Christmas season” episode. However, this story is really not about Christmas; it is about redemption.  And redemption is a universal theme good at any time of the year.  So, my production of A Christmas Carol is available for sale year ’round.  Go to my page for the book and listen to some samples.

#54-An Interview with Michael Miller

Michael Miller lobe & matterI interview author Michael Miller in this week’s podcast. Michael is the author of The Sixth Lobe and Born to Matter, books we looked at on podcasts #51 & #52.  Michael’s writing is detailed and exciting, with the action jumping off the page into your imagination.  His characters are varied and interesting.  And his subject matter is unique.  Imagine a boy and, later, a man with the ability to read your subconscious thoughts.  Or a space traveler assumed to be dead, returning to earth through a “fold” in space.  Or that same traveler bringing aliens with him.  How about more Biblical documents like the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Such is the imagination of Michael Miller.  Join me for a fascinating interview!
