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

Interviews

“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?

Your Questions, Answered

"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

“these characters convey a message” [DANC] &nbsp; It isn't every day that one has an opportunity to chat with someone who owns an intimate piece of clothing that belonged to "a certain gracious lady." Barbara Rusch, BSI ("The Mazarin Stone") is a collector of Victoriana and ephemera, and more importantly is the author of the play "The Crossing: or Three Authors in Search of a Character." &nbsp; In a barren antechamber three titans meet unexpectedly. Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, and Harry Houdini are not pleased to be spending the afterlife in each other's company, and a clash of egos is the result. A mystery interloper only seems to add fuel to the fire. Ultimately, the connection is revealed: they all have unresolved issues with Arthur Conan Doyle, and their mission at last becomes clear. The resolution is only achieved with the assistance of a surprising yet familiar figure. &nbsp; Barbara takes us on this fascinating journey to the afterlife and talks about her inspirations along the way. &nbsp; We also have another installment of "As We Go to Press" with Mattias Boström, co-editor of the Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle in the Newspapers series. Try your hand at the latest Canonical Couplet quiz, see if you can figure out the story we're referring to, and you might win a prize. &nbsp; Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below. &nbsp; Sponsors We're proud to feature Wessex Press as our lead sponsor.

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.

“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.

Upon the Turf

“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.

Upbeat Moments in the Canon

"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.
