And Ashley Polasek, BSI ("Singlestick") took on the role of Executive Director of the Ken Ludwig Company in 2022.</p><p>Together, the two join us to talk about Ken's latest Sherlockian play, Moriarty, which premiered at the Cleveland Playhouse in April and May of 2023. But the discussion goes well beyond that to include Ken's other works, how Covid affected the play, how the creative process works, how Ashley's unique background and expertise are perfectly suited to her role, and more.</p><p>Learn how this dynamic duo play off of each other's strengths to help make everything Ken Ludwig does even more successful. Whether you're a fan of the theater, the creative process, just interested in how a Sherlock Holmes piece comes to life, this is a discussion you won't want to miss. And make sure you listen in for Ken's next Sherlock Holmes play, which he mentions here.</p><p>The <b>Canonical Couplet</b> is here for a chance to win! We can't offer tickets to Ken's play, but we can give you a piece of theatrical Sherlockiana from the IHOSE Vaults.</p><p>Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by June 14, 2023 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

In fact, the last time it happened was at the turn of the century. But this January, Dan Andriacco, BSI ("St. Saviour’s, Near King’s Cross") was announced as the newest editor of the BSJ.</p><p>Dan assumes the seat that Steve Rothman, BSI, 2s. ("The Valley of Fear") has aptly occupied for 23 years (hear our interview with Steve in Episode 221), but he is not alone. Dan has brought not only a cadre of people to fill various roles, but he has also brought a lifetime of writing and editing.</p><p>What are Dan's priorities for the <i>Journal</i>? How will its pages change and possibly appeal to a wider audience? What can we expect in the next issue? And most importantly, what is the Christmas Annual about this year? The answers await. </p><p>The <b>Canonical Couplet</b> is here for a chance to win BIG! If you submit a correct answer and we choose your name randomly chosen, you'll get a copy of Dan's very first issue of the BSJ.</p><p>Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by May 29, 2023 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

That's the premise of the books brought to us by author Arye Dworken and illustrator Mike Weinreb.</p><p>Eleanor and Alistair Holmes are lucky enough to have Sherlock Holmes for a father, but Holmes isn't quite as sure of himself at home as he is at work. This is the recurring theme that Dworken first explored in <i>Sherlock Holmes and the Dinnertime Mystery</i> and examines from another angle in <i>Sherlock Holmes and a Father's Time</i>.</p><p>Arye Dworken joins us to discuss his enduring love of Sherlock Holmes and how he expresses it in these delightful children's books, examining issues that haunt all parents, from work-life balance to the day-in and day-out routine of meal preparation. </p><p>In this discussion about children's literature, we talk about authors we love and methods they've used, together with Dworken's inspiration, his choice of illustrator, and where the series goes next.</p><p>The <b>Canonical Couplet</b> should be an easy one. Don't miss this chance! If you submit a correct answer and we choose your name randomly chosen, you'll get a copy of one of Arye's books.</p><p>Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by May 14, 2023 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

You're told at the start that Moriarty may have sent you a case as a trap, but if you turn down too many, or you get too many deductions wrong, you might go out of business as a consulting detective. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/41IP2Tr" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2285" data-original-width="1600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk2e7Wo1WAWj92CJHMNIRced1b5Wnw5s9Wkhqw7DpDaQ1hD9aRR9PAveSdAz1WCuoF1aIZOiedozMTucOJ9-0PACc7NiOoCfz9c719e8Slmp5z170rt_7UV5U2ZogwTbqftuTOO50xwQxUDdBa2uZ0v9MvMmfd4ucTRvWfz-p4ieUaTz3vgDod-nj0hA/w140-h200/Can%20You%20Survive.jpg" width="140" /></a></div>Of course, if you've read the stories (and it's a rare Sherlock Holmes fan who isn't familiar with those two), you have a great advantage here. Even so, it's fun to see how choices — and alternate endings — have been inserted into these familiar tales. You might solve the case, or you may fail, or you or your client might even die! <p></p><p>The publisher recommends this book (and others in the series, including ones for <i><a href="https://amzn.to/3oyK4d9" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dracula</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/41uuxtd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Wizard of Oz</a></i>, and <i><a href="https://amzn.to/41u7LSj" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Call of the Wild</a></i>) for ages 9-13, and that seems about right. It would be fun to read this through with a child, argue about which choices to make, and then talk about how these versions compare to the original stories. </p><p><i><a href="https://amzn.to/41IP2Tr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><br />Can You Survive the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes?</a></i> by Arthur Conan Doyle, Ryan Jacobson, and Deb Mercier, published by Lake 7 Creative, October 2022</p><p><br /></p>

But Holmes's actions—and later his words—tell us differently.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One of the universal similarities in many religions and in philosophy is the cyclical structure of things:  nature and human nature are repetitive and predictable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Ice ages follow eons of warmth, only to be followed by warming once again. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Volcanoes rise from the ocean depths, creating islands that later teem with life. But reactivated lava can snuff out that life and build more land mass.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">On Ash Wednesday, the Christian religion reminds us that "you are from dust and unto dust you shall return." The Hindu religion has a belief in the cyclical and self-renewing nature of all things. It’s called <i>saṃsāra</i>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In the Victorian era in which Holmes and Watson lived, a sense of order and predictability was prized above all else. This is why clients sought the help of Sherlock Holmes: he used his logic and knowledge of past crimes to help make sense of the uneasy present.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In fact, he recommended to Inspector MacDonald to study the history of crime, indicating that he would find trends to help guide him in future crimes: </div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“Mr. Mac, the most practical thing that you ever did in your life would be to shut yourself up for three months and read twelve hours a day at the annals of crime. Everything comes in circles—even Professor Moriarty. Jonathan Wild was the hidden force of the London criminals, to whom he sold his brains and his organization on a fifteen per cent commission. <b>The old wheel turns, and the same spoke comes up. It’s all been done before, and will be again</b>. I’ll tell you one or two things about Moriarty which may interest you.” (<i>The Valley of Fear</i>)</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Was Holmes ignorant of philosophy? Perhaps in the traditional sense of studying particular philosophers. But in practical terms, Sherlock Holmes understood and embraced some of the lessons that philosophy teaches. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">By having an institutional memory and a broader understanding of human nature from plenty of reading, he prepared — just as we can — for what might come next.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Such wisdom is less like a map and more like a compass: it provides a sense of direction to avoid getting lost.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The decisions we make will be based on the terrain in front of us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And like Holmes, when we recognize patterns, it means sure footing.</div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Of course, it's never sure footing at Baker Street Elementary...</div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9BUu8XO4-1AJs99tkWV6_vS_YL1J9xsK0MqTYIWfsb4bPZ7BF4BpaFhFOsXj2kPA1-Gj2BTlM9BdGm7YPdEUPfzqgCJA2aIYdM-tZqgaTa7E23IX_6mrRoi-65vaVN2n46ExuCTHY8So2sXsjHYga0cezQhA78btN0sVCO9Q2NUkBfDF9nPDVyRSZ4A/s768/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20150.2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9BUu8XO4-1AJs99tkWV6_vS_YL1J9xsK0MqTYIWfsb4bPZ7BF4BpaFhFOsXj2kPA1-Gj2BTlM9BdGm7YPdEUPfzqgCJA2aIYdM-tZqgaTa7E23IX_6mrRoi-65vaVN2n46ExuCTHY8So2sXsjHYga0cezQhA78btN0sVCO9Q2NUkBfDF9nPDVyRSZ4A/w640-h480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20150.2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi1bYZbVtNH9c5qkkEwGJyFYw5cGmw_EV4HN57v7SyX0FdqiJniLkEOxRgODgbQP7sk84uyzsNXUv7mhSBRgMl3rpiL5gE5cldvbbTOVdS3pbxdxzQ1bQhNUIGPBX5vEiSmsdif7Nw5nNFmrVqjTvfASIw-SpYIRgO7lqjR9c1vMWYezfNJuDArkkGLQ/s768/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20150.3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi1bYZbVtNH9c5qkkEwGJyFYw5cGmw_EV4HN57v7SyX0FdqiJniLkEOxRgODgbQP7sk84uyzsNXUv7mhSBRgMl3rpiL5gE5cldvbbTOVdS3pbxdxzQ1bQhNUIGPBX5vEiSmsdif7Nw5nNFmrVqjTvfASIw-SpYIRgO7lqjR9c1vMWYezfNJuDArkkGLQ/w640-h480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20150.3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdw62T_xbdx-2ed56scQvzcdVffP0tSxO_3KGTL0JXfd8BQ3SYk6ZmOJpx0hYwTx7PFqeOLGeX4VYU-0zxsyjWTAh3J3kbwMCPyXzcuL7cqJh1PCUFGqVrhINNPoZrZmoFNyVBGaNOWKvPm1JYsf4OwYIYvMyg501YUBMHX9-WaIBnf4yH6xGKGj_UxQ/s768/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20150.4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdw62T_xbdx-2ed56scQvzcdVffP0tSxO_3KGTL0JXfd8BQ3SYk6ZmOJpx0hYwTx7PFqeOLGeX4VYU-0zxsyjWTAh3J3kbwMCPyXzcuL7cqJh1PCUFGqVrhINNPoZrZmoFNyVBGaNOWKvPm1JYsf4OwYIYvMyg501YUBMHX9-WaIBnf4yH6xGKGj_UxQ/w640-h480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20150.4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><i>Baker Street Elementary</i></b><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> follows the original adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, as they and their friends work through the issues of elementary school in Victorian London.
