“they are pretty sure to ask questions anyhow, so it would be as well to have answers” [RETI]&nbsp;&nbsp; We're doing something a little different for this episode. There are certain elements about the Sherlock Holmes stories that are just too trifling out of which to create an entire episode. So we turned to you. We're answering questions that you have submitted, hopefully providing more clarity than less. If this works well, we'll do it again. It's just a Trifle.&nbsp;    Have you left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on&nbsp;&nbsp;yet?

Episode 12: Bob Thomalen (Part 2)

"Bring me the books" [BLUE]&nbsp;&nbsp;  Sherlock Holmes was a consultant—or more properly, a consulting detective—but he was a consultant, nonetheless. And consultants need clients, who in turn pay the bills.&nbsp; &nbsp; But have you ever stopped to think about how Holmes went about collecting his fees? We don't know anything about his fees, other than a handful of high profile cases with rewards, and that (he says) he didn't vary them save for when he remitted them altogether.&nbsp;  &nbsp; &nbsp; Have you&nbsp;left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on the podcast player of your choice yet?

"the smartest of the Scotland Yarders" [STUD]&nbsp; When you think of a Scotland Yard inspector in the Sherlock Holmes stories, odds are your thoughts immediately go to Inspector Lestrade. He makes the most appearances in stories and certainly gets the most name recognition, in part thanks to Dennis Hoey's portrayal of the bumbling but capable policeman. &nbsp; But what about good old Inspector Gregson, who appeared alongside Lestrade in the very first Sherlock Holmes story? He manages to make a number of appearances, but doesn't rise to the same level of household awareness. We look at his trifling (and non-trifling) appearances in the Sherlock Holmes stories.  &nbsp; &nbsp; Have you&nbsp;left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on the podcast player of your choice yet?

"the irregulars are useful sometimes" [RETI]&nbsp; &nbsp; Homeless children. A gossip columnist. A dog. What do all of these have in common? They're part of the underground network of helpers that Sherlock Holmes cobbled together.&nbsp; &nbsp; With these individuals and more, Holmes was able to fan out across the great metropolis and gather information that helped him solve his cases. And they're the subject of this week's Trifles episode.  &nbsp; &nbsp; Have you&nbsp;left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on the podcast player of your choice yet?

Sherlock Holmes's Underground Network

We fool ourselves into thinking that our time on this earth is unique. That every challenge we face is new and different, and that no one else can possibly understand the pressures we face. &nbsp; But the simple truth is there are numerous examples of similar circumstances throughout recorded history, whether analogous or identical. It just takes a bit of work to find them and understand the historical context that will prepare us for the future.&nbsp; &nbsp; In this episode, it's on to the second of the third sculptures at the National Archives as we determine what the future looks like. &nbsp; I'd be honored if you'd leave a rating or review for the show.

A Christmas Miracle by Deborah Lacy

"The game's afoot!" January 6th is the traditional date Sherlock Holmes' birthday is celebrated. To celebrate, Peter Kreten spoke with Peter Blau, Secretary of the Bakerstreet Irregulars, the very first Sherlock Holmes society in the United States. 
In the conversation, Peter discusses how the Baker Street Irregulars were first founded, why he loves all the stories, and how the character of Sherlock Holmes connects people from all different societies and backgrounds.

Peter Blau Podcast Interview on Sherlock Holmes

Life can be tough. We've all experienced a setback from time to time. And often, those setbacks can seem difficult to surmount. &nbsp; But imagine if you had traversed 1,500 miles over ice and snow, only to lose your race into the history books, and then realize that you wouldn't make it out alive, with only 11 miles to go. Would you still keep going? &nbsp; Keeping perspective and staying true to your mission are critical in times like this. &nbsp;  "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."&nbsp;  – Winston Churchill    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  Would you consider leaving a rating or review for the show on&nbsp;iTunes?

Episode 61: Resilience, Resoluteness, and Enthusiasm

“my heart jumped so with joy” [STUD]&nbsp; &nbsp; We commonly see clients who come to Sherlock Holmes riddled with despair and grief. But if we look closely enough, we can also find happiness and sheer joy in the Canon. The Sherlock Holmes stories contain the full range of human emotion, from anger to relief and from&nbsp; anguish to jubilance. The more we looked for the upbeat, the more we found.

"Unique, perfectly unique" [BRUC]&nbsp; 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:&nbsp;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.
