    Sometimes I think the commentary on the Sherlock & Co podcast protects this podcast from listeners who would find "The Literary Agent's Ten Percent" an insult to Watson's literary agent. But this week's Sherlock & Co. was so on the money for "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton" that they might make it through. (Also, we're getting Sherlock Holmes's cousin before his brother? What?!?)

    Look kindly upon us, dear listener, as we attempt to do a podcast from the remains of 221B Con 2025 in Atlanta. One of our pups is missing, but we dragged in a host of other Sherlockians to chat about what went on, Sherlock & Co., and more. It's disorganized, produced on the fly, and either the worst or best episode in a while. Good luck!
