I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere

"many excellent qualities" [MISS]  One of the latest books in the BSI Manuscript Series from the BSI Press is The Staunton Tragedy, the manuscript for "The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter." Edited by Wiggins emeritus Michael F. Whelan, the book brought together Sherlockians of all stripes for a wide variety of essays about and related to the story. The story itself was fairly thin and didn't present anything in the way of crime-solving on Sherlock Holmes's part, but the essays in The Staunton Tragedy make up for that. Series production manager John Bergquist, BSI ("The King of Scandinavia") and transcriptionist-cum-annotator Phil Bergem ("Birdy Edwards") join I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere to talk about this book and their collaboration on manuscripts that spans 10 books. If you are chosen as the lucky Canonical Couplet quiz winner, we have a wonderful collection of Sherlock Holmes puzzle and quiz books. Answers are due by June 14, 2021 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.

"It is with a heavy heart" [FINA] Jon Lellenberg with Dan Stashower (courtesy of Dan Stashower) The worlds of Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle enthusiasts have lost a giant. Jon Lellenberg, invested in the Baker Street Irregulars as "Rodger Prescott of Evil Memory" in 1974, passed away on April 24, 2021 after a short illness. Jon's contribution to our hobby was almost too immense for words. He was a confidant and representative of the Conan Doyle Estate for many years, extending back to a close relationship with Dame Jean Conan Doyle. As an author and editor, he contributed to a number of books on Conan Doyle's life, including A Life in Letters and Dangerous Work, both co-edited with Dan Stashower, BSI ("Thurston").  Jon's knowledge of early Irregularity and the times in which those Irregulars lived and worked was unrivaled, which made him the perfect person to tackle the BSI Archival History Series. During that time, he was known as the Thucydides of the Baker Street Irregulars. With four appearances on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere, Jon gave us so much material with which to work, so we pulled some clips from previous episodes to pepper our memories of him. If you have memories, please share them in a comment below and see the links for more information. Plus, we have an announcement about a very rare piece of Sherlockian/Irregular history related to Jon Lellenberg that is available for auction.  The Canonical Couplet quiz winner this time will win a copy of Jon Lellenberg's The Quest for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: Thirteen Biographers in Search of a Life. Answers are due by May 29, 2021 at 11:59 a.m. Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below.Become a Patron!

"In glancing over my notes of the seventy odd cases" [SPEC]  One of the most well-known societies in the Sherlockian / Holmesian world is The Sherlock Holmes Society of London. Originally founded in 1934, the society lost steam for a few years and was permanently re-incorporated in 1951. Nicholas Utechin, BSI ("The Ancient British Barrow") joins I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere to discuss the society's remarkable history, including its founding, exciting events and expeditions, and its commitment to remaining a membership-based organization. You won't want to miss Nick's announcement of something very special coming up for members on May 15. The Canonical Couplet quiz winner this time will win a copy of This August and Scholarly Body: The Society at 70.  Answers are due by May 14, 2021 at 11:59 a.m. Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below.Become a Patron!

"magnetism which drew good humour from all around him" [VALL]  It's not often that we talk bout the topic of humor on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere. Regular listeners may strain to find humor in Burt and Scott's banter, but we're fans of humor here at IHOSE. It's strange, then, that we find ourselves more than 200 episodes into this production without a nod toward Sherlockian parody. Episode 214 corrects that as we speak to Bill Peschel, who has collected more than 40 years' worth of Sherlockian parodies. In The 223B Casebook Series, Bill takes us on that journey, from the early parodies in Punch by such notables as R.C. Lehmann and P.G. Wodehouse, to two volumes of Edwardian parodies including some by Mark Twain and John Kendrick Bangs, through two volumes each of the Great War and of the Jazz Age, as well as others. Why 223B? Because they're directly next door to the 221B stories, that's why! The Canonical Couplet quiz winner this time will win their choice of a book from the series.  Answers are due by April 29, 2021 at 11:59 a.m. Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below.Become a Patron!

"a fair balance of military power." [SECO]  The BSI Professions Series marches on, this time in military time. The latest volume in the series is Corporals, Colonels, and Commissionaires: Military and the Sherlockian Canon, edited by Michael Quigley, BSI ("A Large, Brass-Bound Safe") and Marsha Pollak, BSI ("A Small But Select Library"). Together, they tell us the story behind the book: the curious case of the new editor, a unique and helpful structure for the chapters, the classification of the military as a profession, and how Watson's central role in the Sherlock Holmes stories was also rooted in the military. Marsha's and Michael's backgrounds served them well in their editorial roles, and the book is a must-have for anyone interested in the Canon and the military.

"he does not care for general practice, which distracts him from his literary work" [MISS] Letter from Conan Doyle to H. Greenough Smith, c. 1901 (Special Collections Toronto Public Libraries - Flickr) There must be something in the water. Or the air. Have you noticed an uptick of interest in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lately? We spoke with Mark Jones of the Doings of Doyle podcast last season. Since then, a new society has met, another has been formed, and an academic journal has begun its path. To help us understand the impetus behind this movement, we invited three well-informed and energetic individuals who are responsible for some of it: Ross Davies, BSI ("The Temple"), Cliff Goldfarb ("Fordham the Horsham Lawyer"), and Ashley Polasek, BSI ("Singlestick"). Each of them plays a unique but essential role in the development of these public-facing entities, and they each help us understand how it all fits together.  The Canonical Couplet quiz winner this time will receive the official lapel pin of The Literary Agents (seen below).  Answers are due by March 29, 2021 at 11:59 a.m.Image credit: Charles Prepolec (Facebook) Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below.Become a Patron!

"you must acknowledge, my dear Holmes" [HOUN]  When you hear about Richard Ryan's writing projects, you might make an exclamation much like Watson did in the presence of Sherlock Holmes. The self-described "pantser" already had five books to his name on MX Publishing (The Vatican Cameos, The Stone of Destiny, The Druid of Death, The Merchant of Menace, Through a Glass Starkly) and is at work on his sixth, Three May Keep a Secret. In addition, he is also completing an anthology series for Belanger Books called 1881, has authored a children's book B Is For Baker Street, and is an editor with the Dear Holmes project, where subscribers receive actually letters by mail that challenge them to solve mysteries. What inspires this former newspaperman and how does it do it? Join us as we uncover the secrets of his Sherlockian success.

"Unique, perfectly unique" [BRUC] When Vincent Starrett set out to write his cornerstone pastiche in 1920, it wasn't intended for an audience of Sherlock Holmes fans. For one, he didn't know of any others who were as fixated on Holmes as he was. Fortunately, Richard Sveum, BSI ("Dr. Hill Barton") is well connected in the Sherlockian world and was able to tap the talents of other Starrett experts and enthusiasts to assist him in creating the 2020 Baker Street Journal Christmas Annual: The 100-Year Adventure of The Unique Hamlet. This look at Vincent Starrett's classic work will bring you new understanding of the man and his contribution to the world of book collectors and Sherlock Holmes.

  "What sort of a game is that—eh?" [DYIN] While it's customary for us to utter "the game's afoot!" at the end of each episode, in this case it's more appropriate to say it as we commence. We're joined by Dave Neale, researcher in play and psychology, writer and game designer. Dave is responsible for the the game Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Baker Street Irregulars. In our wide-ranging conversation, we talk about the series of Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective games, how one goes about creating a game, the difference between playing games as a child and as an adult, the common psychology behind storytelling and game design, and much more. We have a special announcement about our Patreon/Paypal supporter community and we discuss what's ahead. You'll want to see if you can test your knowledge with the Canonical Couplet: we give you two lines of poetry that describe one of stories, and you name it.

 "striking illustration of those powers for which my friend was famous" [SOLI]  The name Frederic Dorr Steele is legendary among Sherlockians. Even for those who don't know his name, his iconic rendering of Sherlock Holmes (as partly inspired by William Gillette) has left us with distinctive imagery. Sadly, Steele was buried in an unmarked grave in his family plot at the Albany Rural Cemetery in Menands, NY. But the Frederic Dorr Steele Memorial Committee was assembled to solve that. Our own Burt Wolder administers the group, and he asked fellow committee members Andrew Malec, BSI (""), Harrison "Terry" Hunt, BSI ("") and Linda Hunt to join us to talk about those efforts as well as the life of artist Frederic Dorr Steele.

"a group of people who seemed to be intensely amused" [BLAN]Image credit: The BSI Trust Once upon a time, a man invited a group of his friends to join him for lunch and conversation about his favorite literary figure. Eighty-seven years later, the Baker Street Irregulars continues, but what about that early set of people? Thanks to the incredible research skills of Linda and Terry Hunt, we know more about these 60+ people than we have in quite a while. Terry Hunt, BSI ("The Something Hunt") joined us to talk about the inspiration for Aboriginals, the book in which he and Linda outlined the lives of these people, from the insiders to the irregular Irregulars. These were fascinating people in a half-remembered, half-forgotten time, and a window into their worlds make ours that much richer. The Canonical Couplet quiz takes on a new form this time around.

"I picked up a magazine from the table" [STUD] It's not common thinking that a print publication would be needed in 2020, but Sherlock Holmes Magazine seems to have come along at just the right time. Founder/editor Adrian Braddy joins us to talk about the inspiration for this well-produced and successful magazine that he launched earlier this year. It was a mixture of his background and experience, and his nearly life-long love of Sherlock Holmes. It also helps that he lives in close proximity to the location where Conan Doyle spent his first honeymoon—a location with an eerie occurrence that may have led to the selection of the Great Detective's name. You'll want to see if you can test your knowledge with the Canonical Couplet: we give you two lines of poetry that describe one of the stories, and you name it. The winner will receive a copy of Sherlock Holmes Magazine. Entries are due by 11:59 pm EDT on December 28, 2020.

We have a new structure for 2021, with support on a monthly (rather than per-episode) basis, and a community just for our supporters!

 "You are a collector, this set has come your way" [ILLU] In our previous episode, we talked about some of the items in our collection, so we thought this time, we'd give you a glimpse into the collection of another Sherlockian as we launch Season 15 of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere. Charles Prepolec, BSI ("The Man with the Twisted Lip") is a Sherlockian whose collecting bug has run the gamut before settling on the Strand Magazine. In particular, bound volumes. He takes us on his collecting journey, from comic books to pastiches, Doc Savage to Dan & David Day, and original appearances to entertainment. We learn what motivated him to focus on the Strand and where his collecting bug will take him next.  Our new tiers are up on Patreon, including access to our exclusive community for supporters. Be sure to check that out - including exclusive photos from Charles' collection. The Canonical Couplet quiz is back, plus a new direction for the year. Answers for this episode are due by 11:59 pm EST on January 28. Our winner will receive a copy of the DVD of the documentary The Many Faces of Sherlock Holmes.

 "Maybe you collect yourself, sir" [EMPT] It's the end of 2020, and we thought it would be fun to interview each other about some of the favorite items in our collection. Even better: we thought we'd do it on live video. In addition to pulling out some items that may make your raise your eyebrows (either at the value of the items or our mental state upon purchasing them), we talked about the nature of collecting, the intrinsic value and feeling that some items bring, and gave a few tips on what collectors might think about. But mostly, we enjoyed connecting with our listeners and viewers, who were kind enough to tune in and pepper us with comments throughout the show. We also discussed a new structure for our Patreon and PayPal supporters, including a forthcoming community we're building for them on Discord. Stay tuned for more on this in future posts and episodes. We announced the final winner of this year's Canonical Couplet where we give you two lines of poetry that describe one of the stories, and you name it. We'll resume the quiz in Season 15.

"that strange wireless by which such people collect the news" [LION]  Moving from the definitive Sherlock Holmes on radio in our last episode to the definitive Sherlock Holmes of television, we're joined by Gus and Luke Holwerda, the fraternal team responsible for The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes Podcast. This duo is as enthusiastic about the Granada series as we are (perhaps more!) and they bring their professional backgrounds of audio and film production to the microphone as they demonstrate that enthusiasm. We talk about a range of topics, from locations to wardrobe, favorite episodes and more. Plus, we talk about their newly-available offering of Sherlockian Relics and how you can get their version of Granada props. It's the perfect collision of Sherlock Holmes podcasts in one episode. You'll want to see if you can test your knowledge with the Canonical Couplet: we give you two lines of poetry that describe one of stories, and you name it. The winner something from our vaults—it's a mystery! Entries are due by 11:59 pm EDT on November 14, 2020. Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below.
