250th Episode

“a small but select library” [GLOR]&nbsp;  After covering the Shaw 100 in a previous episode and wondering what the future of Sherlockian libraries and collections might look like, we could think of no better guest to interview than Rebecca Romney, BSI ("That Gap on the Second Shelf"). You may remember her from a previous appearance (on Episode 101) or from her frequent drop-ins on Pawn Stars, or more recently in the documentary The Booksellers. We know her as a Sherlockian, co-author of Printer's Error, co-founder of the Honey &amp; Wax Book Collecting Prize, and co-founder of Type Punch Matrix. And yes, even as a collector herself. Our conversation with Rebecca was wide-ranging, during which she gave her prediction about future definitive lists of collectibles, defined who collectors are and how young people can begin their collecting journey, and astutely observed that a collection is "an autobiography in the form of a treasure hunt." And of course, we have another&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;to challenge your acuity. If you are chosen as a winner, you'll get a collectible or two from the IHOSE vaults.

Sherlockian Collecting

"I am one of a hundred" [ILLU]&nbsp;   Well, we managed to do it. And it only took us nine years, an 18-month hiatus, one lost episode and thousands of fans. &nbsp; That's right, it's our 100th episode. &nbsp; We asked you what you wanted to hear for the centenary of the first podcast for Sherlock Holmes devotees, and time and again, we heard from you, telling us to do a retrospective - a look back at our favorite moments from what we've accomplished. We also asked you what your favorite moments are and what you wanted to know from us. Well, we managed to deliver on both. &nbsp; Our 100th episode gave us a chance to reflect on exactly what turning 100 means, and to dive back into our murky and fuzzy origins. We try to answer some of your queries and we celebrate those who joined us previously before launching into our top memories of the show, as represented in audio clips. Our Gas-Lamp features two readings, including a new one created just for this episode. Finally, we wrap up with a couple of important announcements that you won't want to miss. &nbsp;  We thank Mary Miller for her ongoing and generous support of our program on Patreon. Perhaps you'd like to become a patron in honor of our 100th show. If ongoing support scares you, one-time PayPal contributions are welcome too.&nbsp; &nbsp; Additional Thanks We have so many of you to thank&nbsp;— from those of you who wrote in with feedback, to those who provided reviews, created something for us, provided financial support, and of course, those who appeared on the show. It's all been absolutely overwhelming. &nbsp; So, in no particular order, thanks to:&nbsp;Steve Doyle, Mark Gagen, Steve Rothman, Bob Katz, Andy Solberg, Jon Lellenberg, Dan Stashower, Mike Whelan, Peter Blau, Les Klinger, Bert Coules, Mike Berdan, Michael Dirda, Bob Thomalen, The Baker Street Babes, Otto Penzler, Maria Konnikova, Nicholas Meyer, Evelyn Herzog, Susan Rice, David Harnois, Steve Mason, Rob Nunn, Claire Strum, Peter Calamai, Nicholas Pidgeon, Nick Utechin, Ray Betzner, David Stuart Davies, David Ian Davies, Chris Redmond, Jamie Mahoney, Leah Guinn, Jerry Margolin, David Morrill, Sally Sugarman, Graham Moore, Henry Zecher, Tom Francis, Don Hobbs, Tom Richmond, Tim Johnson, Ken Ludwig, Glen Miranker, Zach Dundas, Bonnie MacBird, Bill Barnes, Roseane McNamara, Doug Elliott, Kerry Murphy, Christopher Sequeira, Erin O'Neill, and Robert Veld. &nbsp; And extra special thanks to our spouses &nbsp;Kathi and Mindi, who tolerate this silliness and allow us to interrupt the flow of home life more than we thought they would. Or certainly more than they'd prefer. &nbsp; &nbsp; Notes 1:37 Welcome and intro 2:25 Someone else is pretty excited 3:19 Other centenary celebrations in 2016 7:10 Milestones can be difficult to celebrate, featuring Dennis Wolfberg 9:32 Our humble beginnings 11:14 Spending time 11:55 I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere - by the numbers 15:49 Multiple IHOSE interview guests 18:10 Your kind reviews on iTunes 20:24 Wessex Press 21:40 You asked for it / your favorite moments 23:29 How it all began 34:24 Remembering our hiatus 41:00 Looking back at our favorite moments 42:25 Mike Berdan on getting involved with Sherlock Holmes&nbsp; 45:12 Christopher Morley on the reality of Sherlock Holmes 48:00 Peter Blau on Edgar Smith 51:38 Otto Penzler gets defensive about his literary doppelgänger 55:23 Fritz Weaver recalls Baker Street, the characterization of Sherlock Holmes, and the importance of Conan Doyle 57:54 Michael Dirda reads from On Conan Doyle 1:01:59 Lara Pulver reflects on her success 1:05:03 Bert Coules on the role of the writer with BBC Radio, the importance of his director David Johnson recognizing the major characters in The Hound of the Baskervilles 1:11:20 Bert Coules talks about casting Michael Williams as Dr. Watson, as opposed to Nigel Bruce 1:14:55 A comic interlude: a halfway decent Jack Benny impersonation 1:20:22 Lyndsay, Ashley and Ardy from the Baker Street Babes play...

Episode 100: A Sherlockian Centennial

"the professional enthusiasm which carried my companion" [SIGN]&nbsp; &nbsp; When your interview guest says that she was hooked on Sherlock Holmes based on the line "I confess that I covet your skull," you know it's going to be a fun and unusual discussion. Even more fun is the fact that Rebecca Romney is an extraordinarily well read and well informed Sherlockian, partially owing to the fact that she is also a rare book dealer. Professionally, she works with Honey and Wax Booksellers, but you may recall her from one of her appearances on Pawn Stars, where she was the rare books expert. Rebecca shares her journey, which goes from a youth filled with books to a degree in linguistics and classics, teaching English in Japan and launching Bauman Rare Books' Las Vegas gallery in 2007. Along the way, we discover other Sherlockians that Rebecca has met, the finer points of bookselling (and training to become one), and the magic of having conversations about books with people. The conversation ranges from Ronald A. Knox to Burgess Meredith, Christopher Morley to Richard Altick. Will it include the legendary Chumley? You'll have to listen in to find out. Rebecca and her husband J.P. Romney host the podcast Biblioclast and they have just completed&nbsp;a book called Printer's Error: Irreverent Stories from Book History, which will be published by Harper Collins in early 2017. And perhaps there's an Easter egg somewhere as well... &nbsp;     &nbsp; We thank Mary Miller for her ongoing and generous support of our program on&nbsp;Patreon. And we thank the many listeners to turned out to support us for our 100th show with one-time PayPal contributions. &nbsp; Notes 1:37 Welcome and intro 5:52 Sponsor: Wessex Press (The Sherlock Holmes Reference Library) 7:20 Welcoming Rebecca Romney 9:39 Getting Sherlock Holmes into her skull 12:23 Sibling battles led to the path of book collecting 17:05 How does one become a rare book dealer, anyway? 26:25 Meeting a Sherlockian for the first time 33:12 "The Skeptic's Guide to Sherlock Holmes" - from the Winter 2015 BSI 38:09 Sponsor: The Baker Street Journal (eBSJ) 40:16 Rebecca's podcast: Biblioclast 43:32 A new book:&nbsp;Printer's Error: Irreverent Stories from Book History 46:55 The most expensive Sherlockian book sold by Rebecca 50:22 Buyer's remorse in a Las Vegas bookshop 53:24 Collectors who view themselves as risky investors 58:24 Advice from a bookseller - channeling Christopher Morley 1:03:52 Sponsor: Sherlock Holmes Brand Rare Book Replicas 1:04:51 Wrap-up and announcements &nbsp;    Sponsors This episode includes our two longtime sponsors and we thank them.

Episode 101: Rebecca Romney

"a field for those peculiar qualities which my friend possessed" [FIVE]

Curtis Armstrong, BSI ("An Actor, and a Rare One") is known by many names. Miles Dalby, Charles De Mar, Herbert Viola, Scooter, Metatron, and of course, Booger. But around these parts, he is known as a keen Sherlockian who has been part of our little corner of the universe since his grade school days. His memoir Revenge of the Nerd: Or...the Singular Adventures of the Man Who Would Be Booger tells a series of tales that will be of interest to those who only know him through his remarkable career in show business. But we wanted to get behind all of that and delve into the intersection with his many other interests, such as Sherlock Holmes and P.G. Wodehouse, among others. From Detroit to Geneva and back again, from the stage to the big screen and small screen, we explore the intricacies of nerd culture — particularly when it comes to the Victorian misfit Sherlock Holmes. Early influences of Curtis still have an impact today, and he leaves us with lessons that should have every Sherlockian embracing their inner nerd.

Episode 125: Revenge of the Sherlockian Nerd

"fixed like a plum" [SIXN]

The casual reader wouldn't necessarily associate Sherlock Holmes with P.G. Wodehouse. Or P.G. Woodhouse with Sherlock Holmes. Fortunately, we're more of the formal types.&nbsp; &nbsp; And so are our guests!&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Three – count 'em, three – guests join us this time around. They are Curtis Armstrong, Elliot Milstein, and Ashley Polasek, and they are the two authors and editor of A Plum Assignment: Discourses on P.G. Wodehouse and His World. 

They are Wodehouse experts who also happen to (mostly) have more than a passing familiarity with Sherlock Holmes.  We spend some time with them looking at the intersection of Plum and Conan Doyle's works, and also look at why Wodehouse was so universally enjoyable and why we keep returning to his stories again and again. And how Sherlockians and Wodehousians are remarkably similar in their interactions.

“the artist had brought out the full effect of the lustrous black hair” [NOBL]

Frank Cho, BSI ("The Duke of Balmoral") is an artist known worldwide in the comic industry. From his early strips in college to his work with Marvel and D.C., he is an artist whose services are in high demand. Cho is also a Sherlockian, and has been one for quite some time. It's only recently though that his profession and his hobby have begun to find a common thread.&nbsp;  We chatted about the evolution of his talent and his career, as well as what the future hold in store for this very talented artist.
