Celebrating the Anniversary of the Oldest Sherlock Holmes Podcast

Celebrating the Anniversary of the Oldest Sherlock Holmes Podcast
“seventeen years of age” [SIGN] Mycroft Holmes spoke for all of us in "The Greek Interpreter" when he greeted Dr. Watson with the fateful line: “I hear of Sherlock everywhere since you became his chronicler.” And yes, in our minds, we'll always hear that line in the voice of the inimitable Charles Gray in the Granada series — a sound clip that serves as the opening for our podcast introduction. Little did we know when we began the podcast on June 14, 2007 — exactly 17 years ago today — that we'd have this kind of longevity. That is like a young animal trying to walk immediately after being born: awkward, unsteady, and far from refined. Cringy, even. But it set the stage for what was to come, not only in nearly , but in our companion show and in numerous other Sherlock Holmes podcasts started by other passionate Sherlockians. In Episode 289 of IHOSE, our special correspondent Madeline Quiñones will begin a segment called "A Chance of Listening," a series of short assessments of many of these Sherlock Holmes podcasts that have sprouted up since those early days of 2007. It was inspired by her presentation at the Dayton conference. We hope you'll give it a listen. As a reminder, I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere is an interview show that's something like a cross between and for Sherlockians. It airs on the 15th and 30th of every month and you can find . We're now in our 18th season and don't see an end in sight. We'd be interested in hearing from you, in a comment below, in an email to comment @ ihearofsherlock [DOT] com, or text us at 5-1895-221B-5 (or 518-952-2125). And if there are Sherlock Holmes fans who still haven't discovered us, please share this with them. And until next time... the game's afoot!

Clutches of a Fiend

Clutches of a Fiend
“do but get into the clutches” [BOSC] We've held off a bit on the traditional interview with the editor of the BSI Manuscript Series this season — not for any lack of interest, but simply for scheduling reasons — but we hope it's worth the wait. Steve Doyle, BSI ("The Western Morning News") is the editor of Clutches of a Fiend, the BSI Manuscript entry for "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client," and he joined us to talk about this book. It's something personal for Steve, as he has a connection to the story via his local Sherlock Holmes society, The Illustrious Clients of Indianapolis. We talk about what makes this story (which was a favorite of Conan Doyle's) so different from others, about the ownership of the manuscript, and the striking visuals. We have Sherlockian news, a new segment, and of course the Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a piece of Sherlockian memorabilia.

Legends of the BSJ: Edgar W. Smith

Legends of the BSJ: Edgar W. Smith
“I wanted to speak with Mr. Smith” [SIGN] This is the third in our series on Legends of the Baker Street Journal; we've previously explored publisher Ben Abramson (Episode 269) and BSI founder Christopher Morley (Episode 272). This time, we'll be looking at wordsmith and able administrator, Edgar W. Smith. It was Smith who deftly managed the operations of the Baker Street Irregulars and whose own interest in Sherlockian scholarship (his own and others) caused him to promote books and eventually found The Baker Street Journal. We follow Edgar's Sherlockian journey from his early correspondence with Vincent Starrett and Christopher Morley, to the 1940 dinner that brought the BSI roaring back to life, the Trilogy Dinner where three significant Sherlockian books were launched, the founding of the BSJ, and the addition of the Christmas Annual tradition. We have Sherlockian news, a special announcement, and of course the Canonical Couplet quiz. We thought last episode's was easy, but it looks like we tripped some people up. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive one of the Old Series BSJs from the 1940s. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by May 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.

The Autistic Sleuth
“That was the curious incident” [SILV] From time to time, we see analysis and debate about whether Sherlock Holmes was autistic, had , or is in some other way on the spectrum. As neurodiversity becomes more understood and accepted in the 21st century, it seems natural to explore this not only with Holmes, but with other characters in the genre as well. In The Autistic Sleuth, Christopher Chan and Patricia Meyer Chan, Ph.D., test the question: Is the entertainment industry celebrating neurodiversity or is it reinforcing stereotypes? They analyze how two dozen characters appearing in filmed productions from around the globe who are presented as atypical minds. We have Sherlockian news, as well as another round of the Canonical Couplet quiz. It's a super-easy one this time.

Hounds of the Hollywood Baskervilles
“I am one of the hounds” [STUD] The golden age of Hollywood brought us stars like William Powell and Myrna Loy, and of course Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. In Elizabeth Crowens' new novel Hounds of the Hollywood Baskervilles, we find them (and Dashiell Hammett) intervowen in a story that begins with the disappearance of Asta from The Thin Man movies, and Rathbone's own lost pup. Young private detectives Babs Norman and Guy Brandt team up with him to dig up the reasons behind these canine crimes. Elizabeth joined us to talk about her Sherlockian and historical fiction writing amid her busy book launch schedule. It's a fascinating and fun conversation.

The 17 essays (a Canonically-appropriate number) are each a window into the interests, passion, and knowledge that the authors bring to their subjects, which range from some early Sherlockian scholarship to some latter-day must-haves.

A History of the Woman
“to Sherlock Holmes, she is always the woman” [SCAN] This is a fascinating episode that brings us closer to the inside story of "The Woman" — an honor bestowed every year by the Baker Street Irregulars — and a bit of personal history from one of those very women. Beverly Wolov is a longtime Sherlockian and is well-known by the Sherlockian community as a longtime companion of Peter Blau, BSI ("Black Peter"). You've heard from Peter on four episodes previously (links to those below), but now you have an opportunity to hear about Bev's role — in particular how her journey is bookended by Michael Kean, "Wiggins" of the BSI. Bev does a wonderful job of bringing us back in time and helping us understand how The Woman is selected, what has happened at their dinners and how the proceedings have evolved, and even shares a bit of the tradition with us. We have the Canonical Couplet quiz again. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will win a copy of the 2022 Baker Street Journal Christmas Annual: Women on the Periphery of teh BSI, 1940–1960.

The Lantern's Dance
“a most complete and remarkable woman” [LION] It's odd to think that the Mary Russell series predates this show, yet we've never spoken with Laurie R. King, BSI ("The Red Circle") specifically about her most acclaimed series. The 18th book in the Mary Russell series, The Lantern's Dance, is available on February 14, and Ms. King joined us to talk about her creation. Her familiarity with Sherlock Holmes is far from typical, and this unusual pairing of Ms. Russell and Mr. Holmes, which began with The Beekeeper's Apprentice in 1994, is as fresh and resilient as ever. We talk about the development of the Sherlock Holmes character in her series, the impact of India, how fandom has responded and grown, and discover at which major events Laurie will be appearing this year.

The Classified Dossier of Sherlock Holmes
“you have a good dossier there” [LAST] There were supernatural elements in the original Sherlock Holmes stories. Elements of gothic intrigue like voodoo, a possible vampire, a family curse, and a spectral hound come to mind. So when Christian Klaver looked at the intersection of his interests in sci-fi, fantasy, Sherlock Holmes, and writing, it was only natural to find some existing and contemporary examples and bring them to life. Thus was born series from Titan Books. Christian shares stories of these passions with us, bringing us from his childhood inspiration to the Universal monsters, Cthulhu, and more. And we find ourselves back in 1890s London with Oscar Wilde and Conan Doyle for the third entry in the Dossier: . We even got Christian to spill his plans for his next series of books, so you'll want to tune in to hear about that. And if you are chosen as a winner of this Canonical Couplet quiz, you'll get a copy of Christian's new book! Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by January 14, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

His passion for Sherlock Holmes began uncommonly — in a way we can't ever recall hearing from a guest before. But that passion fueled the founding and direction of Belanger Books, which focuses on traditional Sherlock Holmes pastiches as well as the Solar Pons stories. Many of the titles on Belanger Books began as Kickstarter efforts, and the latest volume, Steel True, Blade Straight is an annual journal of Sherlock Holmes- and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle-inspired stories, poems, and scholarship and is endorsed by the ACD Society.

The Worlds of Sherlock Holmes

The Worlds of Sherlock Holmes
“How came you there?” [BLAC] Questing was Sherlock Holmes's business. He took in the world around him and tried (and succeeded most often) to make sense of it — as did his creator Arthur Conan Doyle. In his efforts to connect the dots in his latest book, , Andrew Lycett goes questing, just as many of his previous biographical subjects did.

Close to Holmes

Close to Holmes
“The table was set out ready for me, and Mr. Duncan” [REDH] The wonder and magic of the Sherlock Holmes stories is that they were set, for their contemporary audience, in a city and its surroundings that were very familiar and very real. Alistair Duncan set out to capture that in his book Close to Holmes, taking us on many journeys by foot and other conveyances, with wonderful photographs supported by vivid descriptions. Even though we weren't alive when the stories were written, we can feel as if we were there. We discuss the impetus for this book, as well as Alistair's four other Sherlockian books — the first of which was the impetus for MX Publishing to focus on Sherlock Holmes. We have news from the Sherlockian world and another easy-peasy Canonical Couplet. Did you win last time? Will you win this time? The winner will receive a copy of one of Alistair's books.

Legends of the BSJ - Christopher Morley
“For three hours we strolled about together” [RESI] As we continue our look at some of the early Baker Street Irregulars associated with The Baker Street Journal (we began with its publisher Ben Abramson in Episode 269), we turn to Christopher Morley. Morley was the right man at the right time with the right attitude, and Steven Rothman, BSI, 2s. ("The Valley of Fear") is the foremost expert on this legend of the BSJ. We look at Morley's early life, his influences, his literary works, and his popularity leading up to and through the time of the establishment of Sherlockian societies. There are Sherlockian news headlines and the ever-present Canonical Couplet. Did you win last time? Will you win this time? The winner will receive something Morley-esque.

CrimeReads with Olivia Rutigliano
“read twelve hours a day at the annals of crime” [VALL] We all come to Sherlock Holmes in our own way. And Olivia Rutigliano is the first on this program to discover the detective in one particular fashion. We won't spoil it (you have to listen to find out), but suffice it to say it was enough to propel her not only into the world of detective fiction but an education and career in writing. Olivia is Associate Editor of CrimeReads, a vertical of LitHub and she is pursuing her doctorate at Columbia University, where her dissertation is "The Performing Detective: Investigation, Audience, and Acting in Victorian Entertainment." As if that isn't enough to talk about, we also discuss the trajectory of crime fiction, the overlap of film (she studied film as an undergrad), and how there is a need for more intermingling of the worlds of academia and popular culture. We also bring back the Sherlockian news and have our usual Canonical Couplet. Did you win last time? Will you win this time? A prize awaits.

Ben Abramson Speaks
“my strange old book-collector” [EMPT] Ben Abramson with Vincent Starrett at a signing event for ‘Books Alive’ Circa 1940. Location Unknown / Photographer Unknown (Source: ) There are some Sherlockians we wish we could have interviewed for this program — individuals long gone but fondly remembered — whose unique perspectives would be a boon to our listeners. Unfortunately, most of them are beyond our reach. In this case however, we have one who is available to us but comes to us in a prepackaged interview. Ben Abramson, BSI ("The Beryl Coronet") was a bookseller and the first publisher of The Baker Street Journal. And he sat for an interview on the radio in 1954. We share Ben's background, his early days as a bookseller, his move from Chicago to New York City, his association with some of the Sherlockian greats such as Vincent Starrett, Edgar W. Smith, and Peter Blau, and trace the rise and tragic fall of the BSJ and of Ben himself. The winner of the previous episode's Canonical Couplet is revealed and we share yet another couplet for your identification. The winner will receive a copy of an Old Series BSJ as published by Ben.

A Study in Sherlock - Watson's Notebook
“Out came the official notebook” [WIST] As we know from experience with Jonas Oldacre, when a builder puts his mind to something, he can really go far. In the case of Raymond Farney though, it concerns something that began as a personal project but ended up becoming a book — a reference book of more than 600 pages: A Study in Sherlock - Watson's Notebook. This unique tome is a wonderful companion to anyone who's reading the Sherlock Holmes canon, either for pleasure or for research purposes. We highlight some uses, ponder with Ray over the amount of time Watson spent at 221B Baker Street, and consider the possibilities of a follow-up work. We announce the winner of last episode's Canonical Couplet (a LEGO figure and book are headed their way) and introduce another one. Some material from the bulging vaults at IHOSE headquarters will go to the winner of yet another couplet we share in this episode.

Sherlock Holmes Re-Imagined

Sherlock Holmes Re-Imagined
“a cascade of children's bricks” [TWIS] Sherlock Holmes has been given form thanks to artists like Sidney Paget, Frederic Dorr Steele, Howard Elcock, Frank Wiles, and Arthur Twidle. He has sprung to life from the stage and screen through the magic of William Gillette, Eille Norwood, Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, Jeremy Brett, and Benedict Cumberbatch. But James Macaluso has made a world where Sherlock Holmes is universally relatable: through the Re-Imagined Sherlock Holmes in LEGO building bricks. His imagination and ingenuity have combined to transform some of Sidney Paget's iconic illustrations into LEGO scenes that are remarkably faithful to the original. How did he do it? Where did he find the pieces? James tells us his story and takes us through his creations which include works inspired by Edward Gorey, other non-Sherlockian stories that he has similarly illustrated, and what we might expect next. We have a straightforward Canonical Couplet this time. You ought to play, because the winner, who'll be randomly chosen from all correct responses, will receive not only a copy of one of James's books, but also a Sherlockian LEGO figure.

But this January, Dan Andriacco, BSI ("St. Saviour’s, Near King’s Cross") was announced as the newest editor of the BSJ. Dan assumes the seat that Steve Rothman, BSI, 2s.

Dan has brought not only a cadre of people to fill various roles, but he has also brought a lifetime of writing and editing. What are Dan's priorities for the Journal?

Sherlock Holmes: A Father's Time
“Children, my dear boy, children.” [GREE] Parenting is a mystery to everyone — even to Sherlock Holmes. That's the premise of the books brought to us by author Arye Dworken and illustrator Mike Weinreb. Eleanor and Alistair Holmes are lucky enough to have Sherlock Holmes for a father, but Holmes isn't quite as sure of himself at home as he is at work. This is the recurring theme that Dworken first explored in Sherlock Holmes and the Dinnertime Mystery and examines from another angle in Sherlock Holmes and a Father's Time. Arye Dworken joins us to discuss his enduring love of Sherlock Holmes and how he expresses it in these delightful children's books, examining issues that haunt all parents, from work-life balance to the day-in and day-out routine of meal preparation. In this discussion about children's literature, we talk about authors we love and methods they've used, together with Dworken's inspiration, his choice of illustrator, and where the series goes next. The Canonical Couplet should be an easy one. Don't miss this chance! If you submit a correct answer and we choose your name randomly chosen, you'll get a copy of one of Arye's books.

Stimulating Medicine
“there is nothing more stimulating” [HOUN] The latest entry in the BSI Press Professions series is a sequel: Stimulating Medicine: More Nerve and Knowledge: Doctors, Medicine, and the Sherlockian Canon. What makes it even more interesting is that it was developed during the pandemic.
