Episode 03 - Mike Berdan

In this episode, we sit down for a chat with Mike Berdan, BSI to discuss his article "The Adventure of the Dead Detective" in the Spring 2007 Baker Street Journal. Mike tells us about:

• How he came to be interested in Holmes
  
• His origins with Sherlock Holmes societies
• Some of his previous 12 published articles in the Journal
• The life of a freelance writer
  
• His inspiration behind the current article
• Response to Mike's thesis in his article
• Advice for aspiring Sherlockian scholars looking to be published
• A surprising revelation
  

It's worth noting that this episode was actually our first recording session; the audio, while not ideal, is leveled better than the previous interview. We hope that you'll be able to listen to it without any difficulty.
