Dynamics of a Podcast

Along the way, we talk about the uncomfortable parallels with our modern day, and what lessons we all can learn from the story. Then we dig into some of the adaptations (don't worry, we absolutely talk about 'Muppet Christmas Carol'!).

We have a new episode right in time for Christmas! This time, we're looking at 'A Christmas Carol' through the perspective of getting to know Scrooge as a villain. (Yes, of COURSE, we still compare him to Moriarty.)

Btw, if you've noticed some of us saying "that's your one!" after a bad pun or such... I don't think this panel is where it STARTED, but it is definitely where it started picking up steam. This panel was recorded 9-10pm on a Friday night, and we were all at least a little bit silly!

Note: Much thanks to David Harnois for editing this one into a decent listen! There was a lot of audience participation, and none of us were using mics. 😅

Episode 38: Live & Local — Taking Down the Bad Guys Note: Please mind the explicit tag. “Villains get all the good press — in real life! They’re cool, they’re awesome, they’re — no, wait, they’re not, they’re actu…

Episode 32: Sherlock Holmes @ 50 Recap It’s finally time for a belated recap of the Sherlock Holmes @ 50 Conference this past summer in Minneapolis! Ashley Polasek returns to help us walk you through everything scheduled and unsch…

It's a New Year's miracle! We have a NEW EPISODE. 😁

@sherlockphd.bsky.social joins us to recap the Sherlock Holmes @ 50 conference in Minneapolis this past summer. Check it out at dynamicsofapodcast.com/2024/12/31/e...

(Aside from more of Dixie and less of Madeline's giggle — that's a given!) Please let us know — we'd love to hear more from our listeners!

See you in April!

So, please, let us know what you'd like to see more of on the show! Our interview and guest episodes regularly get the most downloads, and our discussion episodes... don't fare too well, honestly. So is there anything you would like to hear in our discussion episodes that you haven't so far?

2. The good news is that AFTER we get back from hiatus, we are going to do our best to be a Regularly-Scheduled podcast! Well, okay, we probably won't hit the same drop date every month, but we want to be able to drop a new episode every month. We're on season 4 now, and it's time! 😁

Mostly this is so that Madeline can get her feet back under her after over-committing (oops).

Hello, hello! We have a couple of things to share with you today:

1. While we have always been an irregularly-scheduled podcast, we would like you to know that we are officially on a Little Hiatus (not a Great one) for a couple of months, until 221B Con in April.

Episode 28: BSI Birthday Weekend 2024 Happy nights at Rosie Dunn’s in midtown Manhattan (plus a hazy view of the “Vote for Moriarty” button). It’s episode one of season four, and we’ve got a great epi…

NEW EPISODE! It’s episode 1 of season FOUR! Monica Schmidt is here to help us recap this year’s BSI Birthday Weekend in New York City, and talk about what it’s like to participate in what amounts to the world’s biggest Sherlockian family reunion.

dynamicsofapodcast.com/2024/02/08/e...

What makes this show worth watching, and what would we love to see from a reboot that we’ll probably never get?

All this and more from our vaguely Christmassy episode! Happy Holidays!

It’s our second-ever adaptation discussion, and we go all in, talking about Holmes getting a second lease on life, the crazy ethics of the 22nd century, Detective Inspector Beth Lestrade, and, of course, the clone James Moriarty.

New episode! Claire Daines returns as a guest host to talk with us about a wacky little cartoon from the late Nineties: Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century! (Cue the theme song.)
