  • John Watson, Unreliable Narrator

    John Watson, Unreliable Narrator
    Nov 7 2024

    “you have erred, perhaps” [COPP]

    We have John H. Watson, M.D. to thank for the Sherlock Holmes stories, and we typically take them at face value. That is, we trust that Watson was telling us the truth.

    While Sherlock Holmes complimented Watson for his choice of cases, he also had criticisms of Watson's writing, taking issue with his storytelling process. Does this mean Watson's accuracy might also be called into question? It's just a Trifle.

    “gone—stolen, vanished” [BRUC]

    A few episodes ago, we investigated various items that clients brought to Sherlock Holmes and items that acted as vital physical clues. It was something of a show-and-tell. This time, we're flipping the idea on its head and considering various stories where something—or someone—goes missing. What and who will be it? Tune in for this Trifle.

    “with a strength for which I should hardly have given him credit” [STUD]

    There were a number of individuals who exhibited strength in the Sherlock Holmes stories, to varying degrees. But which of them would you classify as the strongest? One of our listeners had an idea as to who it might be, so we surveyed the Canon and found a handful of others to make this a deeper discussion. Turns out it's just a Trifle.

Excellent my dear Watson

My favorite Sherlockian podcast. The world is a better place with Scott and Bert extolling the trifles of 1895 in Victorian England. A must listen podcast.

Enlightening, Entertaining, and Educational

This podcast is spectacular. Scott and Burt have great camaraderie, and their appreciation for the Sherlockian world is evident. If you're looking for a spectacular podcast, this, along with their "I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere," podcast is a fantastic show.
