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)

Editors Steven Rothman and Nicholas Utechin join us for a chat about a book they have co-edited: To Keep the Memory Green, some recollections from the life of Sherlockian/Doylean scholar and collector Richard Lancelyn Green. We also hear about their respective experiences as editors of the Baker Street Journal and the Sherlock Holmes Journal and the formation of the Quartering Press.

Episode 8: To Keep the Memory Green

This week, we take a break from our interview schedule to get back to the basics. We discuss the man who determined the foundations of a good Sherlockian collection and heap lavish praise on our favorite tomes related to the great detective.

Episode 9: Our Favorite Books

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 .

The new year usually brings resolutions and offers a new beginning. In our new podcast which begins in January 2017, we thought it was the ideal time to look at optimism in the Sherlock Holmes stories.  &nbsp;   Was there more hope or despair in the Canon? Certainly, many cases began with despair, but which ones ended in optimism?   &nbsp;   From "The Stockbroker's Clerk" to "The Copper Beeches," we have clients who were optimistically heading into new jobs. But all was not as it seemed... And what ends well for Sherlock Holmes does not always mean the same thing for his clients.   &nbsp;   &nbsp;  Links   Maria Konnikova on Episode 91 of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere, discussing The Confidence Game.

Optimism

The opening lines of A Study in Scarlet are rich with details about Dr. Watson's past. His medical degree, his army service, even his injury. He recalls how he came to London without knowing anyone in the city and proceeded to blow through his cash reserves.

Just how far could one get on 11s. 6p. per day in 1881? And how fortunate we are that Watson couldn't keep to his budget. For his cash situation is what required him to find a flatmate...

Sherlock Holmes: Trifles

Watson in the City

Dr. Watson tells us that he and Sherlock Holmes visited one London restaurant two times. And while the gustatory habits of the famed Baker Street duo are not entirely well-documented, we have a good sense as to what they must have eaten at the famed Simpson's in-the-Strand.

This is a case of fact meeting fiction, as Simpson's is very much a real establishment in London — one that was recently in danger of losing its identity. We bring you inside this gem that dates from the 1820s as a cigar and chess divan and explore what dining like Sherlock Holmes was like.

Simpson's

Sir Eustace Brackenstall met with a grisly, if appropriate end in "The Abbey Grange." Ultimately, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson let his killer go free. &nbsp; But was Captain Crocker solely responsible for Brackenstall's death? Other individuals were involved with the calm plotting of the aftermath of the death&nbsp;— but whose shoulders bear the ultimate brunt of the guilt in the end? &nbsp; Links &nbsp;  "The Abbey Grange" "The game's afoot" as found in King Henry's speech "Once more unto the breach" in Henry V.  &nbsp;

Guilt in The Abbey Grange

First Track  (edit)

Charles Augustus Milverton was considered by Sherlock Holmes to be "the worst man in London." Watson tried to shield the date of the case — not to protect Milverton, but to protect his victims. And Holmes and Watson went to extraordinary lengths to defeat the odious blackmailer, from burglary to destruction of property, and even a faux engagement by Holmes. While reputation was everything in Victorian times, did the pair go too far? Their willingness to break the law was in service of victims, but what about their own reputations and adherence to the law?

Moral Relativism in Charles Augustus Milverton

"there can be no question as to the authorship" [SIGN]&nbsp; &nbsp; "The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone" took place in July 1903 and it shares a distinction with one other Sherlock Holmes story: like "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane," this is the only other story that is told by a third person. We review some theories, summed up by Leslie Klinger, BSI ("The Abbey Grange") in his Daypark Press publication of a Baker Street Irregulars dinner memento in 2001. From Christopher Morley to O.F. Grazebrook, Gavin Brend, Martin Dakin and more, there are clever and preposterous suggestions as to whose pen was behind this story. Not to mention the question of the layout of 221B Baker Street, the mysterious bay window, the condition of the wax bust, and more. See which theory you side with in this episode of Trifles... &nbsp; Links  Please nominate us for a&nbsp;People's Choice Award&nbsp;or in the&nbsp;Arts&nbsp;category in the&nbsp;2017 Podcast Awards "The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone" Tim Greer on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere&nbsp;Episode 115: Sherlock Holmes in the Theater There was a connection between Charlie McCarthy / Edgar Bergen and Sherlock Holmes:   &nbsp; Music credits    Performers:&nbsp;Uncredited violinist, US Marine Chamber Orchestra&nbsp;   Publisher Info.:&nbsp;Washington, DC:&nbsp;United States Marine Band&nbsp;   Copyright:&nbsp;Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 &nbsp;

Who Wrote The Mazarin Stone

"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?

Where Are They Now? Inspector Gregson

"I shall run over to Camberwell and call upon Mrs. Cecil Forrester" [SIGN]&nbsp; &nbsp; We know what you're thinking:&nbsp;The Sign of Four&nbsp;wasn't an unpublished case. You, as a Trifles listener, are very astute. We should have expected nothing less. &nbsp; However, within&nbsp;The Sign of Four, we do have a glimpse of a number of unpublished cases: including one with Mrs. Cecil Forrester, with whom Mary Morstan lives in Camberwell. Could this be a connection to a later case mentioned in "The Adventure of the Five Orange Pips"?&nbsp;Or perhaps it's a reference to "the most winning woman" Holmes ever knew, who is also mentioned in&nbsp;The Sign of Four? &nbsp; These trifles await your consideration. &nbsp;  &nbsp; Have you&nbsp;left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on the podcast player of your choice yet?

Unpublished Cases: The Sign of Four

“the smartest of the Scotland Yarders” [SIGN]&nbsp; &nbsp; If you ask anyone familiar with the Sherlock Holmes stories to name a Scotland Yard inspector, they'll invariably answer, "Inspector Lestrade." &nbsp; But Sherlock Holmes had a healthy respect for a handful of other police inspectors, both from Scotland Yard and from the surrounding areas. Who were they, and in which stories did they appear?  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp; Have you left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on&nbsp;iTunes&nbsp;yet?

An Inspector Calls

Doris Dörries neues Buch ist vor allem eins: eine Einladung, über das eigene Leben nachzudenken und zu schreiben. Nicht unbedingt für andere, sondern einfach für sich selbst. Dörrie, die seit 20 Jahren Kreatives Schreiben unterrichtet,  teilt 50 Momentaufnahmen aus ihrem Alltag und verbindet sie mit konkreten Tipps, ins Schreiben zu kommen. Alles, was man dafür braucht, sind ein Stift, ein Blatt Papier und zehn Minuten Zeit.
Sie hat mir im Interview für das Magazin Emotion gesagt: "Ich bin überzeugt, dass es hilfreich ist, sich über sich selbst Gedanken zu machen. Man begreift die Einzigartigkeit des eigenen Lebens und erkennt, dass man einen Blick auf die Welt hat, den sonst niemand so hat. Gleichzeitig spürt man, wie stark man mit allem verbunden ist."

In dieser Folge lese ich euch einer ihrer Geschichten vor. Und sie kommt selbst auch zu Wort. Eines meiner Lieblingsbücher in diesem Jahr.

„Lesen Schreiben Atmen. Eine Einladung zum Schreiben“ von Doris Dörrie ist bei Diogenes erschienen und kostet 18 Euro.

Ich freue mich über Feedback. Und wenn euch „Feiste Bücher“ gefällt, wäre es toll, wenn ihr es weitersagt. Guckt gern auch mal bei Instagram unter Feiste.Buecher vorbei, da stelle ich gelegentlich weitere Bücher vor und in EMOTION sowieso.

16: Doris Dörrie "Leben Schreiben Atmen. Eine Einladung zum Schreiben"

Ant Wan - Kapitel 21 (Bonus Track)

“I had only one confidant—my brother Mycroft.” [EMPT]&nbsp; Why did Mycroft put himself in harm's way for Sherlock Holmes when the latter faced his arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty? Mycroft put Sherlock up for a night, drove the brougham that took Watson to Waterloo, and kept the rooms up at 221B during the hiatus that ensued.&nbsp; &nbsp; But why didn't Moriarty go after Mycroft? What made him think that "the British government" didn't know about his activities? We explore the role of Mycroft Holmes in "The Final Problem." It's more than a trifle.  &nbsp;    Have you left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on&nbsp;&nbsp;yet?

The Final Mycroft Problem

“It’s every man’s business to see justice done” [CROO]&nbsp; &nbsp; Everyone likes a neat ending. The case is solved, the criminal is caught, and justice is served. &nbsp; But what about those Sherlock Holmes stories where the criminals escape? When the final action happens off-page or off-screen? There's not the same resolution there as when a Scotland Yard inspector claps handcuffs on the accused. Or is there?&nbsp; It's just a Trifle. &nbsp;    Find Trifles wherever you listen to podcasts: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Have you left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on&nbsp;&nbsp;yet?

Justice, Part 1: Unresolved

“I do not feel justified in doing it” [HOUN]&nbsp; &nbsp; In the last episode, we talked about the uncertainty of justice at the conclusion of some stories. Did the perpetrators find justice raining down on them? In some cases, it was left up to the reader's imagination. &nbsp; This episode we're looking at some instances of justice that may not have been in proportion to the crime&nbsp;– or non crime, as the case may be.&nbsp; It's just a Trifle. &nbsp;    Find Trifles wherever you listen to podcasts: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Have you left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on&nbsp;&nbsp;yet?

Justice, Part 2: Disproportionate

“there never was a man who deserved punishment more” [IDEN]&nbsp; There are certain instances in the Sherlock Holmes stories where the villain is so foul, so deserving of punishment, that it's a relief to see them get theirs. It's justice served. &nbsp; We can think of a couple, off the tops of our heads. Perhaps you have others in mind? It's just a Trifle.    &nbsp;  &nbsp;    Find Trifles wherever you listen to podcasts:  &nbsp; &nbsp;  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Have you left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on&nbsp;&nbsp;yet?

“His life as been academic” [CREE]&nbsp; &nbsp;  Sherlock Holmes and academic affairs are, well, elementary. [Sorry] But have you considered those who hold the title "professor" when it comes to the stories? &nbsp; Of course you know Professor Moriarty. But there are only two others, which is a tad surprising, given the stories that involved the academy.

The Three Professors

“I can tell a Moriarty when I see one.” [VALL]&nbsp; &nbsp; Quick: in "The Final Problem," what is the name of Sherlock Holmes's arch-rival? Yes, we know it's Professor Moriarty, but what's his first name? If you said "James," you'd be wrong. &nbsp; Would you be surprised to learn that he has not only one, but two brothers, at least one of whom is also named James? It's a conundrum worthy of Moriarty himself. And it's just a Trifle.  &nbsp;  &nbsp;   &nbsp;    &nbsp; Find Trifles wherever you listen to podcasts: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Have you left us a&nbsp;rating&nbsp;and&nbsp;review&nbsp;on&nbsp;&nbsp;yet?
