The next episode is about how much we love the brown suit. Oftentimes, brown suits are unfairly maligned and cast over in favor of navy and grey suits. A brown suit's rustic nature and lack of ubiquity give them an inherent charm that can be leveraged by any menswear enthusiast. Brown suits aren't necessarily corporate nor are they overly bold, but they are versatile, being able to be worn in any way we see fit. No Brown in Town couldn't be more wrong!

Henry Dreyfuss was a leader of the first generation of industrial designers. He and his team were responsible for the design of some of most ubiquitous and iconic products of the mid-twentieth century: the Bell Model 500 telephone, the Honeywell Round thermostat, and the Polaroid Automatic 100 Land Camera, among many other products and services.Similar to how George Washington established precedents for the American presidency, Dreyfuss was a founding father of American industrial design. He defined expectations for the role of designer and their relationship to engineering and marketing; the balance between commercial objectives and human needs; and the philosophy of design not as a stylistic afterthought, but as an integral part of creating “classic” products that stand the test of time.In his book, The Man in the Brown Suit, Russell Flinchum draws on a wealth of primary sources to explore how Dreyfuss transitioned from a theater designer in the 1920s to one of the “big four” industrial designers during the so-called golden age of industrial design. This monograph (a detailed study on a specialized subject) accompanied a 1997 exhibition of Dreyfuss's work at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, where Flinchum was a fellow. From the 1920s through the 60s, Flinchum covers how Dreyfuss's work evolved and his influence grew while staying committed to the Five Points that outlined his design philosophy: safety and convenience of use, ease of maintenance, cost, appeal, and appearance — importantly, in that order.Referred to as both the “dean” and the “conscience” of the field, he was considered by his friends, family, and colleagues, above all, a person of integrity. As a user experience designer working on enterprise software products today, I think we can learn from how Dreyfuss championed human values during a period of tremendous technological advancement. At the time, it was unprecedented for a designer and his team to have such a widespread impact on the public consumer. He took a principled, considered approach to design that we apparently had to relearn in the twenty-first century with the advent of the internet and the digital age. I first read this book about ten years ago, and as I've gone back through it, taking copious notes and capturing inspiring quotes, I've regained an appreciation for some of the practical insights and creative mindsets that have influenced me over the years, and reconsidered how I can apply Dreyfuss's knowledge, experience, and spirit to my own work.Outline* Role of the designer (3:56)* Philosophy (16:55)* Commercialism (30:00)* Takeaways (43:14)References* Henry Dreyfuss, Industrial Designer: The Man in the Brown Suit (Goodreads)* Classic Honeywell Round Thermostat Teardown (YouTube)* K&L Trainz NYC 20th Century Limited Promo (YouTube)* Founders #264 The Story of Edwin Land and Polaroid (Simplecast) This is a public episode.

Novelist Christopher Bollen has been writing twisty thrillers with emotional depth for over a decade. His latest, The Lost Americans, takes readers to Cairo for a deftly-plotted murder mystery set in the high-stakes world of arms traders and Egypt's authoritarian government. As with his writing, so with his book choices: we get intrigue and suspense in London during the Blitz, courtesy of Graham Greene's 1943 espionage thriller, The Ministry of Fear, and a criminal mastermind in Agatha Christie's The Man in the Brown Suit, an early novel that helped establish the reputation of the Queen of Crime.

In this edition of Short Story Skirmish we feature a classic of American gothic in Edgar Allen Poe's “The Masque of Red Death”, and what is perhaps one of Vladimir Nabokov's lesser known but by no means less thought-provoking stories, “A Guide to Berlin”. One considers the inevitability of death, the other considers the beauty in everyday life. Not only do both therefore complement each other, but both remain as prescient today as when they were written. Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include: “A Guide to Berlin” by Vladimir Nabokov "The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allen Poe “The Man in the Brown Suit” by Agatha Christie “The Echo Maker" Richard Powers Additional segments throughout the podcast include: Inner Shelf Fact or fiction What are you reading?

Born in Torquay in 1890, Agatha Christie became, and remains, the best-selling novelist of all time. She is best known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, as well as the world's longest-running play – The Mousetrap. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and a billion in translation. She was homeschooled by her father, an American, and taught herself to read by the age of 5. During the first World War, she worked in a hospital dispensary in Torquay. She completed the examination of the Society of Apothecaries, which is where she got her extensive knowledge of poisons. During this time there were many Belgian refugees along the British countryside. Agatha thought that a Belgian refugee, who used to be a famous Belgian policeman, would make an excellent detective. She was right. And now, Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan, by Agatha Christie.

He's American, and has many similarities with Sherlock Holmes. He isn't a policeman, but he works with them on occasion, he's happy to be “hands on”, and he summarizes his deductions once the case is solved. Jacques Futrelle wrote over 40 short stories featuring The Thinking Machine. He died aboard the Titanic, after forcing his wife into a lifeboat. And now, The Superfluous Finger, by Jacques Futrelle.

You can read about it at classictalesaudiobooks.com/blog and bjharrisonnarrator.com/blog. It's time once again for September Sleuths. We'll be highlighting detective stories in September, and who better to start with than Sherlock Holmes? Today's story also features Sherlock's brother, Mycroft.

Tonight, we'll read “The Cheap Flat”, a short story written by Agatha Christie and published in 1924 as part of her “Poirot Investigates” series. In this story, Captain Hastings meets a couple at a party who have just rented a flat in a fashionable district for an implausibly cheap price. Poirot becomes intrigued and sets out to investigate. If you enjoy this episode, be sure to listen to our first Poirot story, “The Western Star” which aired on June 8, 2022.

Henry James O'Brian Bedford-Jones was a Canadian-American writer of adventure fantasy, science fiction, crime and Westerns in the golden age of pulp magazines. Enormously prolific, he wrote nearly 200 novels, 400 novelettes, and 800 short stories. He used so many pseudonyms that a perfect accounting of all of his works is impossible. While many writers cranked out reams of adventure stories for the pulps in this period, this story is a standout for several reasons. It's firstly a story of pirates who have dark pasts, and are trying to go straight. There's a plucky woman on board, who is anything but a damsel in distress. And the focus on character progression over sensational plot devices is a breath of fresh air. But rest assured, there's plenty of action. This is a pirate story, after all!

"Raising the BAAR" in Art, Culture, and Society - Diversity Edit
"Helping other artists is part of my artistic practice." Harold Smith During this episode, Jewell Sparks talks to artist Harold Smith while he is sitting in his studio in Kansas City. They discuss Harold's art journey and career transformation. Harold first started selling his art on ebay back in the day. He recently retired from teaching after 35 years of being a computer science teacher. Throughout his dual career as a self taught artist and a teacher, he wanted to transition to teaching art, but that was not an option due to the shortage of computer science teachers within the public school system. Since his retirement, Harold has been granted a 3 year residency by Studios Inc,and a cash grant from a Charlotte Street Foundation. According to Harold, his work addresses the black male experience, and encounters he has had throughout his own life. Harold is a member of the African American Artists Collective, and enjoys mentoring other artists on a regular basis. Harold reflects on the lives of some of his childhood buddies and expresses that childhood experiences can teach one to be less judgemental of others. Harold's art has been collected across the globe. Most recently, the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art added a piece of his art to their collection, and Harold Smith's paintings are easy to spot in the TV show "Bel - Air." You can also purchase some of Harold's work on Artsy and other platforms. Cover Art: Harold Smith, Black Man, Brown Suit, 2021, Acrylic on Canvas 48 x 36in.

Im gleichen Monat wie "The Man in the Brown Suit" erscheint die Kurzgeschichte "The Mystery of the Second Cucumber" (später "Mr. Eastwood's Adventure" genannt). Keine Kurzgeschichte, sondern das haarsträubende Erlebnis eines Autors mit einer Schreibblockade. Agatha in Höchstform!
Der Titel verrät nichts davon: Der vierte Roman Agathas ist eine wilde Mischung aus Kriminalroman, Thriller, Abenteuerroman, Liebesroman und einer Prise Entwicklungsroman, alles humorvoll und geistreich verrührt. Ein Lesegenuss, wenn auch mit womöglich veralteten Ansichten über Frauen und Männer und einer leider zeitgenössischen Vernachlässigung der Tatsache, dass in Südafrika nicht nur weiße Menschen lebten.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode Four, Judith Hale talks about how her parents' words and actions contributed to developing guiding principles. Judy consults with organizations across all industries. Much of her current work focuses on assessment for qualifying people. Judy earned her Ph.D. from Purdue University and has various certifications. You can find her full bio on her website at the link below. 00:06 Prologue: Behind the Curtain When you meet Judy Hale for the first time, you might underestimate who she is and what she has to offer. Anyone involved in performance consulting, international standards, a corporate training function, or school administration should get to know Judy. I might be so bold to suggest that when you look up stewardship in a dictionary, the definition should include Judy Hale. 02:33 Part 1: Innovation is the New Currency Companies need a brown suit in the room. Why? Judy's father explained to her how the brown suit at a company symbolized the openness to divergency. 04:54 Part 2: Is it Lip Service or Genuine Commitment? Like her mom, when Judy observes discrepancies between what is said and what is done, she speaks up. Doing so is part of Judy's character. A word of caution: there's an art to calling out incongruent behaviors while not antagonizing. 12:13 Part 3: Raising Our Awareness about Opportunities Opportunities are around us, but we mostly don't see them. It's like walking down a long corridor full of doors that are locked, unlocked, cracked open, or fully open. Yet, we don't see them until something happens in your life. Judy has advice for finding opportunities. _________________________________ How You Can Support the Show Unlabeled Leadership is a free service for people to learn about leadership.

Notes:The Verbivore referenced a quote from an article on mystery that says that “Writing a mystery story is like playing a game of chess with a thousand unknown opponents”. The author was George Dyer and here are the links to these articles:Vintage WD: Murder for Profit, Mystery Story Techniques Part 1 - https://www.writersdigest.com/be-inspired/vintage-wd-murder-for-profit-mystery-story-techniques-part-1 Vintage WD: Murder for Profit, Mystery Story Techniques Part 2 - https://www.writersdigest.com/be-inspired/vintage-wd-murder-for-profit-mystery-story-techniques-part-2 The Verbivore mentions a trick to have two outlines to manage your mystery and another to manage all of the clues (real clues, false clues, pivotal clues) and what your suspects are up to at any given point in the novel. There are several resources that mentioned this practice, but the YouTube video “NANOWRIMO / How to Write a Murder Mystery” by Rae Sterling was the most helpful and concise. The Verbivore talks about a quote from Crooked House that describes each family member as having different kinds of ruthlessness. Here is that full quote:“There's a lot of ruthlessness in us - and - different kinds of ruthlessness. That's what's so disturbing. The different kinds”The Verbivore references Sherlock’s quote about it being lucky that he did not have criminal tendencies. That quote is here:“It is fortunate for this community that I am not a criminal” - The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington PlansThe Verbivore references Rian Johnson’s subversion of the mystery genre in his movie Knives Out by purposefully adding in thriller elements and beats into his story. She doesn’t reference details to keep from spoiling the movie, but there are several great YouTube videos that explore this melding of these story elements. Here are the links [Spoiler Alert]:Behind the Curtain’s “How I Wrote Knives Out — Writing Advice from Rian Johnson” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd4XUCIqoFU Just Write’s “How Knives Out Switches Genres (Twice)” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfF7-vJJBNY Books Mentioned:Crooked House by Agatha ChristieThe Man in the Brown Suit by Agatha Christie The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Movies Mentioned:Crooked House - Directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner, Screenplay by Julian FellowesKnives Out - Written and Directed by Rian Johnson Music from: https://filmmusic.io’Friendly day’ by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Commonplace Quotes: To know God therefore as He is, is to frame the most beautiful idea in all worlds. He delighteth in our happiness more than we, and is of all others the most lovely object. Thomas Traherne And often my father would read us things that he loved, without a single word of ‘explanation’. Of these the Ancient Mariner stands out beyond the rest. O happy living things! Why do people murder them by explanations? M. V. Hughes The mere fact that a story is a work of fiction, however, does not prevent its having a deep and significant truth of its own. We find, then, that the distinction between true stories and works of pure imagination, though convenient, is not quite essential. For fiction may be just as true, in the higher sense of the word, as history, or travel or any other record of actual experience. George Lyman Kittredge I Remember, I Remember by Thomas Hood I remember, I remember, The house where I was born, The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn; He never came a wink too soon, Nor brought too long a day, But now, I often wish the night Had borne my breath away! I remember, I remember, The roses, red and white, The vi’lets, and the lily-cups, Those flowers made of light! The lilacs where the robin built, And where my brother set The laburnum on his birthday,— The tree is living yet! I remember, I remember, Where I was used to swing, And thought the air must rush as fresh To swallows on the wing; My spirit flew in feathers then, That is so heavy now, And summer pools could hardly cool The fever on my brow! I remember, I remember, The fir trees dark and high; I used to think their slender tops Were close against the sky: It was a childish ignorance, But now ’tis little joy To know I’m farther off from heav’n Than when I was a boy.

A serial killer is on the loose… or *is* he (or she for that matter)? Come deep-dive with us--into the depths of this unusual Christie novel, in which our analysis gets granular enough to identify not one but two points of intersection between this novel and podcast favorite The Man in the Brown Suit. (I know; we were surprised too… surprised, and delighted.) Does Christie pull off everything she's trying to achieve here? Perhaps not, but we enjoyed the ride nonetheless.

Are you a reader who loved "The Man in the Brown Suit" but found it sorely lacking in English country homes? Well, fear not, because this week's episode tackles a Christie novel overflowing with rose gardens, secret passageways, and... chimneys. Does the novel also bear a somewhat suspicious similarity to the plot of our last novel? It does! Join us as we explore this similarity, as well as the intricacies of fictional Balkan geopolitics, diamond thievery, and... chimneys... in this, Superintendent Battle's first case.
This is about as close as an Agatha Christie novel gets to an episode of "The Love Boat," and in some ways it gets kind of close! Climb aboard as we journey from England to South Africa with our plucky heroine Anne Beddingfeld, getting embroiled in murder, diamonds, espionage, and of course romance along the way.... Are there all sorts of troubling implications in this rollicking adventure of both the gender and race relations variety? Of course! Let's try untangling it together.
You're going to hear hints of a new format this week on bwtb more in 315 but in the meantime enjoy the conclussion of the Man in the Brown Suit.
