Hace ya más de 170 años que nació el personaje del detective más conocido de la historia, Sherlock Holmes, en una historia del médico Arthur Conan Doyle, publicada en 1887 e ilustrada por su propio padre, que había sido trasladado de un centro de recuperación de alcohólicos a una residencia psiquiátrica. Es en este libro, "Estudio en Escarlata", que Holmes dice que "el cerebro de un hombre al principio es como un pequeño desván vacío que cada cual va amueblando como elige". La habilidad consiste en "no guardar más que los útiles que puedan ayudarle a hacer su trabajo". Nacido en una familia católica de origen irlandés, Doyle (1859-1930) se cría en Edimburgo. Su padre trabajaba de funcionario en la oficina escocesa de obras públicas, a la vez que hacía ilustraciones de libros -entre ellos el famoso "Progreso del Peregrino" del predicador bautista John Bunyan o "La vida y sorprendentes aventuras de Robinson Crusoe" del presbiteriano Daniel Defoe-, para mantener a sus nueve hijos. Cuando aumentan los problemas del padre con el alcohol, Doyle es mandado interno a un colegio. El último año lo hace en una escuela jesuita de Austria, donde renuncia a su fe católica. Doyle estudió medicina en Edimburgo con el famoso doctor Bell, autor de un manual de operaciones quirúrgicas, pero también inspirador de Holmes. Dice que "sabía más del paciente con unas cuantas miradas rápidas, que con cualquier pregunta". Tras servir como médico en un ballenero, navega a África, donde conoce la brutalidad del tráfico de esclavos en el Congo, que luego denunciaría. Al regresar a Inglaterra, tiene su primer contacto con la teosofía, poco antes de casarse con una viuda que era paciente suya. Tras el nacimiento de su primera hija, Doyle se traslada con su familia a Londres para trabajar de oculista, pero enseguida se dedica profesionalmente a la literatura. En este programa de radio, "Al Trasluz", escuchamos fragmentos de su libro más conocido, "El sabueso de los Baskerville" (1902), leído por Eugenio Barona y algunas escenas de la película de la Hammer por Terence Fisher en 1959, que convierte a Peter Cushing en la figura canónica del detective en el cine. Los comentarios de José de Segovia son sobre el fondo la banda sonora original de la versión televisiva por Michael J. Lewis en 1983. La composición de la cantautora británica nacida en Alemania de madre malaya y padre de Fiyi, Tanita Tikaram (Twist In My Sobriety 1988) aparece en la reciente adaptación que hizo para la BBC, Benedict Cumberbatch. Y el tema de la pelirroja canadiense de ascendencia escocesa e irlandesa, Loreena McKennitt (The Mummer Dance 1997) está en la película "Fotografiando hadas" (1987), que escuchamos una escena en la que aparece Doyle. El diseño sonoro y la dirección técnica es de Daniel Panduro.
Behold – the late, great Edward Lionheart, a Shakespearean actor whose performances in Julius Caesar, Troilus and Cressida, Othello, Cymbeline, and others left him the laughingstock of London theatre critics, is dead. And yet somehow, someone is knocking off said critics one at a time in truly Shakespearean fashion… albeit with slight alterations to the text. Shylock may have wanted his pound his flesh – this killer takes the heart. Joan of Arc might have burned at the stake – this killer fries his victims in a hair salon. Peregrine Devlin, head of the London Critics Circle, is baffled, as are the police. And yet – the order of the killings bear a striking resemblance to Lionheart's last repertory season. What's going on with the Thames-side meths drinkers that have taken up residence in the crumbling Burbage Theatre? And what might Edward's daughter, Edwina, have to do with everything? Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend us your ears – for herein lies the tale of the deceased actor who set out to exact revenge, and succeeded, and the rest – is silence.

If you stepped outside in New Orleans yesterday morning, you likely noticed a thick fog cascading over the city. But in addition to being unpleasant and foul-smelling, the fog is also dangerous, and led to a multi-car pileup on I-55 that killed at least 7 people and injured at least 25. Alex Lubben, a reporter for The Times-Picayune/The Advocate, joins us to talk about what caused the fog – and its impacts. Across the country, educators are bracing for artificial intelligence in classrooms. While some are concerned that AI might enable students to cheat or slack on their work, others are excited about the educational opportunities the new technology might bring. Louisiana State University's College of Humanities and Social Sciences is aiming to offer AI-engaged courses as early as next semester. Susan Weinstein, chair of the university's English department, and Rachel Howatt, a professor in the department, tell us how they plan to use AI in their classrooms this spring. “Theatre of Blood,” a British cult horror film, is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a Halloween screening at the Prytania Theatre in New Orleans. Michael J. Lewis, the composer who scored the film, will be in attendance, performing some of his works at the event. He joins us to talk about the legacy of the horror movie – and how it will be celebrated 50 years after its release. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Diane Mack.

“The importance of a drawing is immense, because it's the architect's language,” said the architect Louis Kahn to his masterclass in 1967. While most studies of Kahn focus on his built works or theory and use drawings mainly to illustrate these, this publication chooses to focus on Kahn's drawings as primary sources of insight into his architectural intelligence and imagination. Lavishly illustrated with over 900 high-quality reproductions of work by Kahn and his associates, incisively presented by a group of acclaimed architectural experts, The Importance of a Drawing is a deep immersion into Kahn's work and his design process. A testament to Kahn's masterly craft, this volume also makes a provocative primer on architectural representation by posing timely questions on how architects use drawings to see, learn, conjecture and reveal. Destined to become a standard reference on Kahn, this book is an essential addition to the libraries of established designers as well as students of architecture. The result of years of extensive research, The Importance of a Drawing contains original contributions and historical texts from Michael Merrill, Michael Benedikt, Michael B. Cadwell, Louis I. Kahn, Nathaniel Kahn, Sue Ann Kahn, David Leatherbarrow, Michael J. Lewis, Robert McCarter, Marshall D. Meyers, Jane Murphy, Harriet Pattison, Gina Pollara, Colin Rowe, David Van Zanten, Richard Wesley and William Whitaker. Bryan Toepfer, AIA, NCARB, CAPM is the Principal Architect for TOEPFER Architecture, PLLC, an Architecture firm specializing in Residential Architecture and Virtual Reality.
