"Wiggins Has Just Been Up to Report" [SIGN]

Are you at all curious about the Baker Street Irregulars? Have you perhaps heard of the organization but don't really know what it does? Or maybe you're an old regular (or Irregular) at the BSI Weekend festivities every January in New York.

In any case, you'll be interested to know that the latest episode of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere, the audio program for Sherlock Holmes devotees is now available. On Episode 14, you'll hear Burt Wolder and me interview Michael Whelan, the current Wiggins of the BSI.

In this first part of a truly excellent two-part series, you'll hear Mike tell about his origins with Sherlock Holmes, how he got involved in Sherlock Holmes societies and the BSI, his ascent to head the organization, and how he has steered it in his decade at the helm.

Stay tuned for Part 2 in another week or so - including a contest that will require reader/listener particiaption - plus another key episode toward the end of December, as the countdown to January 10, 2008 continues...
