Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paranormal Mysteries
Q: Do you enjoy mysteries with ghosts or psychic sleuths, or do you prefer a more traditional detective story?
The hosts express a preference for balancing atmosphere and mystery, enjoying paranormal elements when they heighten tension and curiosity without taking away the logical problem-solving core of the sleuth, and they highlight favorites that maintain fair play and agency for the main character.
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.
