Remembering Mike Whelan, BSI's "Wiggins"

Baker Street Irregulars

Did you know that there are over 400 Sherlock Holmes societies around the world? We take you to a few of them.

Sherlock Holmes Societies

Interviews on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere, the first podcast for Sherlock Holmes fans. It's like Fresh Air for Sherlockians.

Interviews

BSI Press

“put forward with such a quiet air of mastery” [STOC]

As regular 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.

A Quiet Air of Mastery

We do another interview show, this time when we have a conversation with longtime Baker Street Irregular Peter Blau ("Black Peter"). Peter is one of the center points of the Sherlockian hub and has plenty of great stories to tell. Add to that an audio comment from a listener, and we've got a show that should not be missed.

Episode 6: Peter Blau (Part 1)

The chatfest with Peter Blau continues as we enjoy more conversation in an even more interesting vein, if you can imagine. From the early days of the BSI to radio connections, professional societies, collecting and traditions, and even Sherlock Holmes in a far-flung place, Peter gives his unique perspective.

Episode 7: Peter Blau (Part 2)

Scott and Burt interview Bob Thomalen, BSI to learn more about his involvement with the Sherlockian world, including his claim to fame, Autumn in Baker Street (aka “The Great Sherlockian Sleepover"). Join us as we learn more about this veteran drummer, guitarist, magician, chessman, and corporate presenter. Bob will also share his insights as to how to start a Sherlock Holmes society or event .

Episode 11: Bob Thomalen (Part 1)

We pick up where we left off in Episode 11, talking with Bob Thomalen, BSI ("The Three Garridebs") about how he was able to make his events so successful so early on, how he went about selecting speakers, what it was like to work with Tom Stix, and a wonderful legacy left to us by Bob's closest Sherlockian friend.

Episode 12: Bob Thomalen (Part 2)

In this episode we begin our interview the head of the Baker Street Irregulars - the internationally renowned literary society that remains at the forefront of the study of Sherlock Holmes. 

Michael Whelan has been "Wiggins" of the BSI for the last decade, and here he shares some thoughts on his own personal history, the organization, the annual gathering known as the BSI Weekend, and more.

Michael Whelan (Part 1)

In the previous episode of the show, you heard us get into some pretty interesting topics with Mike Whelan, head of the Baker Street Irregulars. We continue in this vein in Part 2, talking about the BSI Trust, the BSI Weekend in much greater detail, the Dr. Watson Fund, and a very exciting contest that you can participate in!

Michael Whelan (Part 2)

A visit to a venerable scion society, the Sons of the Copper Beeches, in October 2007. Headmastiff Gideon Hill describes the group's history, assisted by Scott Bond, who then offers remarks about his 25 years as the Baker Street Journal's cartoonist. We close with an Editor's Gas Lamp from July, 1959 featuring Edgar Smith's thoughts "On the Forms of Address."

Episode 18: Sons of the Copper Beeches

Our 50th episode is a fitting one. As you know, a 50th anniversary is typically celebrated with gold. Because we appreciate our listeners so much, we would settle for nothing less than the same.

But our gold comes in the form of a scintillating conversation with the two editors of the Baker Street Irregulars' eighth entry in their Manuscript Series, The Wrong Passage, which is a look at the manuscript of "The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez." Co-editors Andrew Solberg, BSI ("Professor Coram") and Robert Katz, MD, BSI ("Dr. Ainstree") joined us to discuss just what it is that goes into creating a significant piece of scholarship such as we've come to expect from BSI publications of late.

Episode 50: A Golden Passage

The Baker Street Irregulars are widely known as a literary society dedicated to the study of Sherlock Holmes. Since 1934 the group has been gathering in New York City for its annual dinner and weekend festivities and has embarked on a significant publishing effort centered around its own history, international Sherlockian societies' scholarship, and analysis of extant manuscripts of the Canon.

Episode 53: For the Sake of the Trust

Our 62nd podcast episode looks at what went on during the BSI Weekend, particularly through the sounds of new Baker Street Irregulars.

Episode 62: Inside the BSI Weekend

An interview with Bob Katz, BSI and Andy Solberg, BSI - co-editors of Irregular Stain, the latest entry in the BSI Manuscript Series.

Episode 63: Irregular Stain

It's been seven years since Mike Whelan, "Wiggins" of the BSI, sat down with us. Much has changed in the organization since that time, and now, 17 years into the job, Mike gives his take on the direction of this august literary society dedicated to Sherlock Holmes. (Recorded in 2014)

A Conversation with the Head of the BSI

Listen as we capture the sounds of the #BSIWeekend and discuss what happened at one of the most enjoyable gatherings of Sherlockians of the year.

Episode 74: BSI Weekend 2015

"she loved the Prince" [SHOS]

For our diamond jubilee episode - our 75th - we're pleased to welcome Sonia Fetherston, BSI ("The Solitary Cyclist"), author of the latest entry in the Baker Street Irregulars Biography Series, Prince of the Realm: The Most Irregular James Bliss Austin.

Bliss Austin, BSI ("The Engineer's Thumb") was among the first class that was given titular investitures to the Baker Street Irregulars. But he was more than that, as we discovered. He was an accomplished researcher and industrialist who rose to the executive ranks of U.S. Steel; he was a collector of and expert on Japanese art; he was a Sherlockian who was most generous with his time and collection; he was a family man.

Sonia does a fine job of describing the influences on Bliss's life and the many lives that Bliss influenced as well. From budding collectors and Sherlockians to veteran scholars - including the aprocryphal Helene Yuhasova story. She also shared Bliss Austin's firsthand experience with a female interloper at an all-male Sherlockian group.

Discover how Bliss's collection, originally bequeathed to Lehigh University, made its way to the market. Listen to how a collector of Bliss's stature acquires original manuscripts in Arthur Conan Doyle's own hand:&nbsp;The Valley of Fear&nbsp;and "The Red Circle." And learn about how you can read a Bliss Austin paper - given at an early BSI dinner - that has never before appeared in print.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Mental Exaltation
We introduce a new feature to I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere listeners with this episode. It's a quiz that we call "Mental Exaltation," inspired by NPR's Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me!& and written by IHOSE quizmaster Nick Martorelli. Find our how you can qualify to win.

"My mind," he said, "rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation.

This week, Sonia plays for listener Mary Miller of Indianapolis, Indiana.

We wrap up with our regular Gas-Lamp reading, this time taken from an issue of the BSJ that contained Bliss Austin's first contribution. "An Age Passes" and "Sonnet: From Sherlock Holmes to Mycroft Holmes" are taken from Vol. 1, No. 4 (OS) of the Baker Street Journal.

Episode 75: Prince of the Sherlockian Realm

"a tremendous abyss" [FINA]

The BSI Manuscript series continues to churn out remarkable books on an annual basis. In 2015, we're pleased to see the manuscript for "The Empty House" printed, analyzed and opined in Out of the Abyss, edited by Robert Katz, Steven Rothman and Andrew Solberg, who join us on the show. Also, our quiz show "Mental Exaltations" and all the Sherlockian news we can muster.

Episode 76: Out of the Abyss

"He has nerve and he has knowledge." [SPEC]
&nbsp;
If you're a regular listener of our show, you may remember that in Episode 76: Out of the Abyss, we chatted with Steve Rothman, BSI ("The Valley of Fear"), Bob Katz, BSI ("Dr. Ainstree") and Andy Solberg, BSI ("Professor Coram") about the BSI Manuscript Series entry about "The Empty House." During that conversation, Bob and Andy excitedly told us about their next project &mdash; a then-unnamed book about medicine in the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Well, this January their book made its debut: the BSI Press unveiled Nerve and Knowledge: Doctors, Medicine and the Sherlockian Canon. Naturally, we invited Bob and Andy to join us on IHOSE for a fourth time to talk about their remarkable experiences putting such a book together. [Previous episodes include episodes 50, 63 and 76.]
&nbsp;
As any good editor would, both Bob and Andy proudly discuss just about every article in their work (try as we might to make them choose a favorite), but Andy made a valid point in mentioning that many of these bear rereading and they hold up well time after time. Every one of the essays in the book is original, and the duo does a fine job of sourcing them and stitching them all together.
&nbsp;
What's more is our show gets into backstories, give-and-takes, and perhaps even a little gossip about Sherlockians and the book publishing process. There may be a surprise or two in store if you listen in...

I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere

Special Episode: Remembering Bob Thomalen

“a certain quiet primness of dress” [MUSG]&nbsp; For the last 26 years, Beau Ties Ltd. has been a Vermont-based U.S. manufacturer of bow ties. And sometimes we see glimpses of Sherlock Holmes coming through. Because we're bow tie fanciers and astute observers of things, we decided to chat with an executive from Beau Ties Ltd. to understand their thinking. So we sat down with Cy Tall, President of Beau Ties Ltd. From her choice of college major to her consulting career, Cy's decisions eventually led her to this fascinating industry. She tells us about how the team gets its inspiration for tie names, how clubs can work with Beau Ties to get their own custom ties, how the conversion service (convert your neck tie to a bow tie) came about, how the company has accommodated more than just men with its products, and more. We also have a special Beau Ties Ltd. discount for IHOSE listeners: just use the code&nbsp;HOLMES15&nbsp;at checkout from January 15-30, 2020 and you'll enjoy 15 percent off your order.

Tying One On with Sherlock Holmes

"pursuing some laborious researches" [3STU] The name William S. Baring-Gould is one of a hallowed few in the pantheon of Sherlockian scholars. He is one of the handful of chronologists who has attempted to put the stories in a particular order, using a number of research techniques. He also wrote the first unofficial "biography" of Sherlock Holmes with his&nbsp;Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street: A Life of the World's First Consulting Detective. And his name is synonymous with his magnum opus from 1967,&nbsp;The Annotated Sherlock Holmes. The 2019&nbsp;Baker Street Journal Christmas Annual&nbsp;looks at all of these things and more, making this legend come to life as a fully-formed and high achieving individual. Julie McKuras, Tim Johnson, Richard Sveum, and Gary Thaden joined forces to bring us this well-deserved biography of this hero of so many Sherlockians. We spoke to Julie and Tim to hear what went into writing this book and special discoveries they made about Baring-Gould along the way. While you can't buy a copy of the Christmas Annual (it comes bundled with every annual BSJ subscription), we are giving you a chance to get a copy: the prize we're giving away for this episode's&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;is a copy of the Baring-Gould Christmas Annual.

William S. Baring-Gould

“your wide experience of turf matters” [SILV]&nbsp; The sport of kings horse racing is part of the Sherlock Holmes lore. It's also part of a tradition in Sherlockian events going back some 70 years. The BSI Press has issued a new book,&nbsp;, that is a comprehensive look at horse racing in the Canon, Victorian England, and the Baker Street Irregulars, as well as associated topics such as gambling, drugs (quite an associated set of vices!), the law, art, and history. Candace J. Lewis, BSI ("A Little Art Jargon") and Ira Brad Matetsky ("The Final Problem"), together with Roger Donway, edited this volume related to horses and horse racing. Candy and Ira join us to talk about the inspiration behind the volume and our own Burt Wolder describes his contribution to the scholarship. The&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;is back, and the prize for this episode is a copy of the BSI Press booklet&nbsp;Commissionaire: Julian Wolff and his Baker Street Irregulars&nbsp;by Sonia Fetherston. This booklet was distributed to attendees of the&nbsp;&nbsp;in November 2019 and is an advance publicity piece for Sonia's forthcoming biography of Julian.
