    Sherlock Holmes: A Year in Review
    Dec 30 2024
    “a combination of events” [3STU] Keeping track of everything going on in the Sherlockian world is no easy task. And yet, every year without fail, Ross Davies, BSI ("The Temple") oversees a team at The Baker Street Almanac that does exactly that. We first spoke to Ross about the enterprise on Episode 219, but this time our conversation less about the mechanics and features than it is about some of the worthwhile items of note for Sherlockians in 2024. Ross chooses his top items and neatly divides things into categories: events, societies, publishing, and media. Burt and Scott add in a few points of interest as well. We also have Madeline Quiñones' latest installment of "A Chance of Listening," her review of Sherlockian podcasts. And wind up the year with another Canonical Couplet quiz for you to test your Sherlockian knowledge. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive something from the IHOSE vaults. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by January 14, 2025 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

  • Sherlock Holmes: Leviathan

    Sherlock Holmes: Leviathan
    Dec 16 2024
    “the preparation for submarine attack” [LAST] Good storytellers transport us to other places and times by virtue of their ability to create interesting characters and pull us along as the plot unfolds. Sherlock Holmes: Leviathan begins with two already interesting characters who are concerned with justice, and through Mike Baron's skillful storytelling that we find ourselves following the two as they unravel a global criminal conspiracy. Illustrated by artist Richard Bonk, it represents what may be the greatest work of both of their professional careers. As an Eisner Award-winning author, Baron has crowdfunded a number of his works before, and is continuing in that tradition with this book. Interested readers can support it at any of the links below. We also have the Sherlockian News and some listener comments, Madeline Quiñones gives us her thirteenth installment of "A Chance of Listening," her review of Sherlockian podcasts. And of course we have a Canonical Couplet quiz for you to test your Sherlockian knowledge. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a copy of Sherlock Holmes: Leviathan.

    Sherlock & Co.'s Sherlock
    Nov 30 2024
    “Holmes’ triumphant expression and the ring of his voice” [STUD] Regular listeners know that when we have an opportunity to speak with other individuals involved in audio productions, we jump at the chance. For our 300th episode, we thought it was appropriate to speak to none other than an audio Sherlock Holmes. In this case, that means in the form of the detective from the Sherlock & Co. podcast, as portrayed by Harry Attwell. While we previously spoke to writer Joel Emery about the show on Episode 275 (link in the notes below), the podcast has taken on an even greater life with each successive episode over the last year. To hear Harry talk about his background, motivations, and inspiration in this episode provides even greater insight into this remarkable production. Harry shares tales from his early days in the theater, describes a tattoo he received as a live art installment, discusses his interpretation of Sherlock Holmes (and reveals the role that inspired it), comments on one of his signature phrases, and much, much more. Madeline Quiñones is back with another installment of "A Chance of Listening," her review of Sherlockian podcasts. And of course we have a Canonical Couplet quiz for you to test your Sherlockian knowledge. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a prize from our vaults.

  • Interrogating Sherlock Holmes

    Interrogating Sherlock Holmes
    Nov 16 2024

    “I listen to their story, they listen to my comments” [STUD]

    Trial lawyers are supposed to be experts in conducting interviews and interrogating witnesses. Yet Stephen Chahn Lee discovered that such skills were hardly universal.

    Yet there was one shining example he could point to for questioning witnesses and getting to the truth. As you've already guessed, it is Sherlock Holmes.

    But then Lee turned his analysis and research to an eyewitness who he claims misled us—a central character whom we've always regarded as trustworthy and incorruptible. And it led him to discover the silent contest.

    Don't miss your chance to participate in the Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a prize from our vaults. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by November 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT. All listeners are eligible to play.

    Monsters & Ghosts
    Oct 30 2024
    “no ghosts need apply” [SUSS] 'Tis the season! The season for monsters and ghosts, that is. And who better to treat us with a discussion of monsters, ghosts, and various biblioventures designed to make our skin crawl than Ed Pettit from The Rosenbach? It's not just the ghosts of Charles Dickens and the monsters of Robert Louis Stevenson, though. Ed also does a deep dive with us on Bram Stoker's Dracula and the wonderful connection between him and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. We also bring you the Sherlockian news, Madeline Quinones’ latest in her "A Chance of Listening" series, and the Canonical Couplet quiz.

  • Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul

    Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul
    Oct 15 2024
    “the summit of St. Paul’s” [SIGN] After one episode, we find ourselves back in Minnesota — this time, talking with longtime author Larry Millett about his latest Shadwell Rafferty book, Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul. Those who have followed the nine previous books will have a good sense of this 1890s-era saloon owner who perished in the ninth book (no spoiler there, as it was titled Shadwell Rafferty's Last Case). This latest volume gathers three novellas, casting back to Rafferty’s beginnings to recount a trio of intriguing cases that honed his skills before he joined forces with Sherlock Holmes. In addition, we take a side-tour to talk about architecture (if that's your kind of thing), and the good old days of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. We also bring you the Sherlockian news, a trifling podcast review in Madeline Quinones’ "A Chance of Listening," and the Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a copy of Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul.

  • Spy Hunter

    Spy Hunter
    Oct 1 2024
    “You are here as a spy” [ILLU] In Spy Hunter, it’s 1914 and Sherlock Holmes has been murdered. Nobody knows who did it, but Wiggins, former Baker Street Irregular and Holmes' protégée, suspects a German spy. This is where H.B. Lyle's fourth installment in his Irregular series picks up. Ben joined us to share his journey as a writer focused on historical fiction, and how easily the ringleader of Holmes's street urchins turned to spycraft. The early days of MI5 and MI6 hold particular interest, and we learn about an inspiration by George MacDonald Fraser along the way. We also bring you the Sherlockian news, another podcast review in Madeline Quinones' "A Chance of Listening," and the Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a copy of Spy Hunter. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by October 14, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.

  • Holmes Poirot

    Holmes Poirot
    Sep 15 2024
    “two tickets for the theatre” [BRUC] Jeffrey Hatcher, BSI ("The Five Orange Pips") and Steve Hendrickson have teamed up for a new Sherlock Holmes play in which we find one mystery, separated by 25 years. Holmes has the first crack at it, followed by Hercule Poirot decades later. Appropriately enough, it is called Holmes Poirot. And it premieres in St. Paul, Minnesota in October 2024. Hatcher is known to Sherlockians for his screenplay for Mr. Holmes as well as two other Sherlockian plays. Hendrickson has played Sherlock Holmes on stage numerous times before with Bob Davis as his Watson. The two of them swap roles in the second act of this play, with Hendrickson assuming the role of Captain Hastings and Davis as Poirot. We talk with Jeff and Steve about their experience creating this innovative new play, about their early starts with Sherlock Holmes, and much more. We have the latest podcast entries in Madeline Quinones' "A Chance of Listening," and another Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a surprise item from the IHOSE Vaults. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by September 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.
