A Few Details About Upcoming Episodes on the Magic Detective Podcast and More!

 

As I quickly approach 70,000 downloads (less than 180 away) on my podcast, I'm exciting by some of the episodes coming up. I mentioned earlier in the year that I had the entire season planned out, which was true. But as usual, I have fallen behind schedule. I moved the Bessie Houdini podcast up to episode 115. As of the moment, I am not sure which will be next. All the images here have Episode #s on them, but they are subject to change. I may start front loading the non Houdini episodes, so that later in the season as we get closer to October 31st, I can have more Houdini podcasts.

More than likely the next episode will be the Life of Doug Henning. I already have several episodes about Doug's Specials on my podcast: #13, 20 & 107. But this time I will cover the LIFE of Doug Henning. I also have an episode on my friend Steve Baker, the controversial Escape Artist. His story has never been told really, other than on his old webpage, which I actually ran. He had a crazy career, truly second only to Houdini. 

Then I have an episode on Alexander Herrmann, which is actually the first of several Herrmann related episodes. I will eventually do Compars, Adelaide, Leon, and maybe even Felix. But only Alexander this season. 

BTW, quickly, I want to thank everyone who has posted reviews on Apple Podcasts and/or sent me comments about the podcast. I really am grateful that you enjoy the podcast and am so thankful for YOU as listeners. Each episode takes hours and hours research. I do not use ai. I rely upon my vast library, and AskAlexander, and a handful of the magic history related sites. It's a lot to comb through. Though technology does make it a bit easier. I can't imagine doing this without computers, meaning databases. Maybe one day ai will be helpful, but honestly, they get so much incorrect. I have my way of doing things, and though it might take a bit longer, it will be correct (unless the source info is wrong lol)

And I have an announcement coming up in a few days. Something new for the site and podcast. Plus I will have a new print available on my art site, shortly. So much to look forward to!!!

UPDATE: Thank you to all my listeners. We broke the 70,000 downloads!!!! That is just mind boggling to me! I am so grateful!

The Magic Detective Podcast for 2026 Upcoming Episodes

 

Well, this is a first. I just put together my entire season 8 list of episodes. They're not written yet or recorded. That will take all year. But episode 114 is done, almost. It's written. And, it's going to have a really cool ending, IF I can get permission from the publishing company to use something that was written in a particular book. I don't want to divulge what that is yet. I hope to hear back from them this week. The moment I do, I will be recording the episode.

Here is a sample of what you can look forward to in 2026. BTW, not a complete list. I may add to it, or alter it slightly. But these are the episodes I plan to kick out: 114-Harry Anderson, 115 Harry Jansen , 116 Doug Henning, 117  Houdini Movies, 118  Herrmann The Great, 119 Steve Baker, 120 Bess Houdini, 121 Ricky Jay, 122 Theo Hardeen, 123 Richard Potter.    

This is more than I had during Season 7. And it's possible there will be more to the list. Also possible I'll switch some of the numbers around, in other words they may come out in a slightly different order. But these are the ones I intend to do this year. 

Remember, all my podcast episodes are written, narrated , recorded, and edited by ME. There is no artificial intelligence used.
