I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere

“some interest to finish” [DANC]   We live in an age when Sherlock Holmes audio productions are more prolific than ever. For listeners of a show like I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere, that is excellent news indeed. And for fans of Big Finish Productions, there are plenty of stories from which to choose, both new and old. Big Finish executive producer, writer, composer, and actor Nicholas Briggs and writer Jonathan Barnes join us to talk about the creative process and output there. We cover dramatizations of some of David Stuart Davies' works, Conan Doyle's original stories, newly-written mysteries, and even a Doctor Who crossover — all of these and more are part of the Sherlock Holmes range of stories at Big Finish. Don't forget about the Canonical Couplet quiz: two lines of poetry and it's up to you to guess which story we're referring to. One winner chosen at random from all correct entries will receive a mystery prize from the IHOSE vaults. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by September 14, 2022 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

“One of the most precious public possessions of the empire” [BERY]   At the end of July 2022, the Baker Street Irregulars held a conference in upstate titled "Sherlock Holmes and the British Empire." That itself isn't news (although we did promote the original date of the event), but what is news is the breadth and depth of presentations that were given there. Half of our intrepid reporting team attended the event and captured commentary from some of the esteemed presenters to give a flavor of the event to IHOSE listeners who were unable to attend. The Canonical Couplet quiz awaits if you can make it through the episode; we have a lovely prize for you: a souvenir package from the British Empire conference if you correctly guess the story we're referring to and we choose your name.

“Now, then, listen to this” [SIGN]   Earlier this month, Audible and Treefort Media released a ten-part podcast, Moriarty: The Devil’s Game, written by Charles Kindinger and starring Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Phil Lamarr, Adam Godley, and Lindsay Whisler, with a special appearance by Curtis Armstrong. The story takes what we know from the traditional Holmes-Moriarty archrivalry and turns it on its head, getting us to familiar territory by taking a very different route indeed. Charles Kindinger joined us for an interview to talk about the inner workings of this Audible Original production, what inspired him to write it, and how he managed to tread the fine line of not alienating traditional Holmes fans while presenting a new theory. The Canonical Couplet quiz is available to test your wits just after the interview; if you correctly guess the story we're referring to, you'll be eligible for a drawing for some choice items from the IHOSE vaults.

“Maybe you collect yourself” [EMPT]   Many Sherlockians are collectors. Most of those collect books or related written material. But collectors are an interesting breed, as widely varied as the general population. Peter Eckrich and Rob Nunn discovered this fact as they set out to put together The Finest Assorted Collection: Essays on Collecting Sherlock Holmes. In essays written by 27 Sherlockians, they take us on a journey of collecting that highlights the eccentricities of the collections and collectors alike. It's a book that's all about passion, as our interview makes abundantly clear. The Canonical Couplet follows the interview; try matching wits with our poetical representation of a Sherlock Holmes story. If you correctly guess the story we're referring to, you'll be eligible for a drawing for a copy of The Finest Assorted Collection.

“I may be on the trail in this matter” [BERY]   There are a number of Sherlock Holmes tours one can take in and around London. But for the true fan, tracking Holmes's steps by foot is incomparable. Stephen Browning has written On the Trail of Sherlock Holmes to take us on seven separate walks around London and an eighth outside the city. But the book goes far beyond simply being a set of maps and tours. Listen to hear about Steve's approach to organizing the book, telling stories about Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes, and squeezing every last drop out of the storytelling potential that such a volume affords him. After the interview, try your hand at the Canonical Couplet: see if you can guess the story we're referring to, and you'll have a chance to win a copy of Steve's book!

“How did you word your inquiries?” [STUD]   Sherlock Holmes has lived a rich life beyond the 60 stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A much fuller life, in fact. When Michelle Birkby chose to write about the world of Sherlock Holmes, she took a different approach: what if, she wondered, we were to experience Victorian London through the eyes of two very capable women — two women deeply connected with Holmes and Watson. And that is how the Baker Street Inquiry series began: through the eyes of Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Watson. Enter a cavalcade of favorite (and in many cases, lesser-known) characters in All Roads Lead to Whitechapel, followed by No One Notices the Boys (Felony & Mayhem Press). Together, we have a new and different look at Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Victorian women. Where will it head next in the series? Well,  The Canonical Couplet gives you a chance to test your creativity and knowledge with ours. If you properly guess the story we're referring to, you'll have a chance to win one of Michelle's books. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by June 14, 2022 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

“a turn which neither of us could have anticipated” [REIG]   D. Martin Dakin’s A Sherlock Holmes Commentary is one of the more important contributions to Sherlockian scholarship. In it, he discussed the entirety of the Sherlock Holmes canon, plus two apocryphal tales. But Dakin also acknowledged that he was probably missing the discovery of scholarship that had happened prior to his time. Bruce Harris, in his Anticipations in D. Martin Dakin’s A Sherlock Holmes Commentary, digs deeper into the older scholarship and has found earlier commentary on the points that interested Dakin. This is a fine companion volume to a cornerstone of Sherlockian scholarship. And Bruce's journey there is a fascinating one. The Canonical Couplet follows the interview: we give you two lines of poetry, and you need to identify which Sherlock Holmes story they represent. The winner will receive a copy of Bruce's book.

“this comic interlude” [3GAB]   Sherlock Holmes has appeared in comic strips for nearly a century and in comic books for almost as long. And the comics industry is a multi-billion dollar enterprise, having spawned movies, television shows, and large-scale conventions. So isn't it time that someone chronicled Sherlock Holmes's appearance in comics? Johanna Draper Carlson has done just that with her new site Sherlock Holmes in Comics. We chat with her about her early Sherlock Holmes influence (a surprisingly advanced one for a beginner), her work experience with DC Comics, her legacy in writing about comics for the last quarter century, and more. The Canonical Couplet follows the interview: we give you two lines of poetry, and you need to identify which Sherlock Holmes story they represent.

“on referring to my notes” [REIG]   Long-time students of Sherlock Holmes might think that Guy Warrack covered all there was to say in his 1947 classic Sherlock Holmes and Music. But longtime listeners of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere know that there’s always something more to be discovered or said. Alexander Katz, BSI (“Sarasate”) and Karen Wilson, BSI (“Bartholomew Wilson”) have edited the latest volume in the BSI Press Professions series that focuses on music.

“the Order of the Legion” [GOLD]   What's an active Sherlockian to do when the world goes into lockdown mode and all regular Sherlockian society meetings are canceled? Pretty much what most of us did in the first two years of the pandemic: go virtual! When Covid caused us to shelter in place, Sherlockians—a gregarious type of people—weren't about to be kept away from each other. So many societies began to have virtual meetings: video calls (invariably hosted on Zoom). Rich Krisciunas, Steve Mason, and Edith Pounden were among scores of other Sherlockians who flitted from society to society, making use of technology to allow them to go places and see people they wouldn't have otherwise seen. They are three of the founding officers of the Legion of Zoom: the newest Sherlockian society for people who attend a certain number of virtual meetings. What is the Legion all about, how can you join, and where can you find out about more online Sherlockian group meetings? The answers await in this episode of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere. The Canonical Couplet follows the interview: we give you two lines of poetry, and you need to identify which Sherlock Holmes story they represent.

“the feted hero” [VALL]   David MacGregor's Sherlock Holmes: The Hero With a Thousand Faces takes on the task of explaining the continued popularity of Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective over the course of three centuries.  In plays, films, TV shows, and other media, one generation after another has reimagined Holmes as a romantic hero, action hero, gentleman hero, recovering drug addict, weeping social crusader, high-functioning sociopath, and so on. In essence, Sherlock Holmes has become the blank slate upon which we write the heroic formula that best suits our time and place. David joined us to discuss the inspiration for this ambitious work, plus the debut of his latest play, Sherlock Holmes and the Ghost Machine, featuring Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. He has made a generous offer to listeners of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere who would like to see the play. The Canonical Couplet follows the interview: two lines of poetry, and you need to identify which Sherlock Holmes story they represent. The winner receives one of David's books (your choice!). Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by March 14, 2022 at 11:59 a.m. EST. The winner will be chosen at random from among all the correct answers. All listeners are eligible to play.

“put forward with such a quiet air of mastery” [STOC]  As regular readers and listeners know, Michael F. Whelan, BSI ("Wiggins") passed away in October of 2021. His contribution to the Sherlockian game was more than any one person could adequately describe. To honor his memory, we gathered a number of Baker Street Irregulars to remember Mike beyond his Sherlockian self — people who knew him well and could comment on his interests, his personality, and his character. These were: Peter Blau, Ross Davies, Steven Doyle, Les Klinger, Hartley Nathan, Otto Penzler, and Steve Rothman. We hope you can appreciate the man Mike Whelan was, what he did for the Sherlockian community, and the kind of leadership he represented. There is no Canonical Couplet quiz in this episode; the lines are still open for answers from the previous episode, which are due by January 14, 2022 at 11:59 a.m. EDT. Become a Patron!

Transcript - I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere Episode 231: A Quiet Air of Mastery--

“It was a masterpiece of villainy, and he carried it out like a master” [NORW]   January brought another entry in the Manuscript Series from the BSI Press. This time, it's the manuscript of "The Adventure of the Norwood Builder," and it was edited by Ross Davies, BSI ("The Temple"). He and Ira Matetsky, BSI ("The Final Problem") join us for this episode. We learn about where this manuscript is held and the heroics that Ira had to take to ensure its availability for the project, as well as how Ross managed to select a group of people beyond lawyers to produce what is one of the most fascinating collections of essays in the Manuscript Series yet. (And we're not just saying that because our own Burt Wolder has an entry.)  Here's a great chance to get a superb prize! So significant that we can't mention it here. The Canonical Couplet returns with two lines of poetry for you; all that remains is for you to determine which Sherlock Holmes story they represent. And it's an easy one this week. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by February 27, 2022 at 11:59 a.m. EST. The winner will be chosen at random from among all the correct answers. All listeners are eligible to play.
