Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Yiddish Sherlock Holmes with Mikhl Yashinsky
Q: Will Spitzkopf ever find a second life on stage or screen?
Yes, I'd love to see these stories adapted theatrically or cinematically; the distinctive setting, characters, and a built-in musical component could translate well into live performance or film.
Yiddish Sherlock Holmes with Mikhl Yashinsky
Q: What do you think makes Spitzkopf similar, but different from Sherlock Holmes?
A key similarity is the Watson-like assistant, Hermann Fuchs, and the duo's close bond; what sets Spitzkopf apart is the brisk, 32-page, action-forward storytelling that prioritizes rapid investigation and real-world peril over leisurely deduction.
Yiddish Sherlock Holmes with Mikhl Yashinsky
Q: So Mikhl, which is your favorite of the stories as you become, you know, very familiar with them? Is there one that stands out for you?
I really like the Flesh Peddler, Der Medchenhändler, because it confronts dark themes like human trafficking and shows how the detective navigates grim circumstances with a mix of investigation and empathy, highlighting the historical realities faced by Jewish communities.
Craft and Hobby Mysteries (part 2) with Reagan Davis
Q: Can you walk us through your process for naming a Knitorious book and how that ties into the plot?
I start with a title and cover before writing, often spinning puns into the backbone of the story, and I keep a spreadsheet of potential titles that sometimes become taglines or a yarn in the book.
Christie for Kids
Q: Will you do more Christie adaptations after the Nancy Drew project?
Yes, I'd love to continue with Hercule Poirot and Hastings the Mouse in future entries, and possibly expand to other Christie stories if the rights and timing align, keeping the 32-page, kid-friendly format.
