Project Audion 66 - The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Project Audion brings you "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," recreating an episode which has remained unheard for eighty years. There's no more famous detective, real or imagined, than Holmes. His creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, pretty much defined the mystery-detective story, and 138 years later Holmes and Watson are still part of popular culture. In 1945, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce portrayed them weekly on the Mutual Radio network. Our selected script (which aired only once, on January 15, 1945) "The Curse of Doctor Anselmo," carries its own mystery - the secret identity of the man who co-wrote it pseudonymously. Will you discover whodunnit? Will Holmes fall under Anselmo's curse? Will the Petri family take the time to bring you good wine? All will be revealed in this delightful half hour audio drama, faithful to the original series' sound and spirit.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 3, 2025 is: sleuth • SLOOTH • verb To sleuth is to carefully or methodically search for information, or to act as a detective. // We spent hours at the flea market sleuthing for 19th century paintings. See the entry > Examples: "To fill the market with vintage treasure, we called upon some of the industry's best dressed—Anok Yai, Emma Chamberlain, Hamish Bowles, Julia Sarr-Jamois, Kaia Gerber, Paloma Elsesser, Tabitha Simmons, Tonne Goodman, and Gigi Hadid—to sleuth through eBay and curate their must-haves." — Lilah Ramzi, Vogue, 6 March 2025 Did you know? "They were the footprints of a gigantic hound!" Those canine tracks in Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles set the great Sherlock Holmes sleuthing on the trail of a murderer. It was a case of art imitating etymology. When Middle English speakers first borrowed sleuth from the Old Norse word slōth, the term referred to the track of an animal or person. In Scotland, sleuth hund referred to a kind of bloodhound used to hunt game or track down fugitives from justice. In 19th-century U.S. English, sleuthhound, soon shortened to sleuth, began to be used for a detective. From there, sleuth slipped into verb use to apply to what a sleuth does.

“I would read as easily as I do the apocrypha” [VALL] The second in our series on the Apocrypha of Sherlock Holmes — stories that are not in the original Canonical 60 but that have some relevant interest. In this case, we have a story written by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1898 and set in 1892 involving the mysterious death of a passenger on a train. The murderer is nowhere to be found and the man has an unusual number of watches on his person. A "well-known criminal investigator" writes a letter to the press with an explanation. We briefly discuss the story and the many theories as to the authorship of those letters over the years by numerous Sherlockians.

Today we take a peek at the interesting life of author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man who invented the world's most famous and influential literary detective, Sherlock Holmes. However, Doyle was never really that interested in the fictional creation that made him famous. He was very interested, though, in spiritualism, and took part in hundreds of seances and wrote dozens of books, pamphlets, and newspaper articles attesting to a belief he saw as indisputable fact: that the dead surround us and we can speak with them. For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Small barks a laugh, and says that he emptied the gems into the river when he realised that they were going to catch him, and says that the only people with a right to the treasure and the men that make up "the Sign of the Four."Holmes then presses Small to start his story. He was born into a poor farmer family in Worcestershire. He joined the British army after getting into some trouble with a girl, and was sent to India. After leaving training, his leg was bitten off by a crocodile, and was forced to leave the forces. After recovering, his superior got him a job on a plantation looking over the workers. His boss was kind, but soon a revolt started in India, and the workers turned against the masters and Small was forced to flee to Agra. In Agra he joined a volunteer corps set up in an old fort. He served here as a guard, and had two Punjabi men under his command. One night, the two ambushed him, and told him to be either with or against them. When he agreed, they told him about the treasure, and told him that a man was coming that night to Agra. When the man arrived, they attacked the man with the chest, and hid both the body and the treasure after making a tally of the jewels inside. Sadly for the men, the body was soon found, and they were all arrested and sent to work camps, and after a while were sent to the Andaman Islands. Here, Small was given a bit more freedom, and became close to the doctor. He over heard the doctor and the army guards playing cards, and heard two of them slowly lose more and more money, Morstan, and Sholto.Small then told the two about the treasure, and said that if they could go and get the treasure and help the members of the Sign of the Four escape, then they could have their fair share of the treasure too. Sholto goes to collect the Treasure, and then doesn't return... Small knows that he has stolen the Agra Treasure, and vows to get his revenge. He soon came into contact with one of the Natives, and helped heal him back to health after being wounded. He soon told the man, Tonga, of the Treasure, and asked to help him escape in his canoe. The two escape, and after a long while, make their way to London. Small finds out about Sholto, and goes to investigate; Sholto passes away when he see's Small's face in the window. Small then employs a man inside the house to give him information about the Treasure. One day he hears that it was found, and he takes Tonga with him to take it back. They get the treasure, Sholto is taken out, and then Holmes' chase began.SEO stuff that I really don't want to have to do...Join me for another immersive narration of this classic detective story from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Tonight, we'll read the full, Snoozecast-adapted version “A Case of Identity”, a story from “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”, written by Arthur Conan Doyle and first published in 1892. Snoozecast has aired this story in two sections previously. In general, the stories in Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. In this story, a wealthy woman's fiancé disappears and she hires the detective to help find him. This tale stands out among the Holmes stories for the quiet, almost domestic nature of its mystery. Rather than a murder or theft, the puzzle at hand is one of manipulation and emotional deceit. Holmes must unravel a curious vanishing act that seems, at first glance, too mundane for criminal interest—but which conceals a twisted motive rooted in control and inheritance. Though not as famous as some of Holmes's more sensational cases, this one is a compact study in character and motive, and a fine example of how Doyle could draw drama from even the most seemingly ordinary circumstances. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Tonight, we'll read the full, Snoozecast-adapted version “A Case of Identity”, a story from “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”, written by Arthur Conan Doyle and first published in 1892. Snoozecast has aired this story in two sections previously. In general, the stories in Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. In this story, a wealthy woman's fiancé disappears and she hires the detective to help find him. This tale stands out among the Holmes stories for the quiet, almost domestic nature of its mystery.

He tells them that he wasn't the person to end the life of Bartholomew, but it was Tonga, the pigmy. Holmes says that he believes him, but that he will need to provide a full honest account of the Agra Treasure, and how he came to England, and how he came into Bartholomew's room. Small agrees, but curses the treasure, saying that it brings nothing but misery to those who possess it. Watson is dropped off at Vauxhall bridge with the Agra Treasure, and with a police guard, heads to Miss Morstan's home. She is happy to see Watson, but seems a little upset and aloof when receiving the treasure. Watson is likewise unhappy, and over does his excited performance when handing the chest over. He tells her about the boat chase, and she seems terrified at the danger she put Watson and Holmes into. Watson proceeds to open the chest, and when he lifts the lid, they find the crate empty. Watson lets out a "Thank God" and confesses his love to miss Morstan saying that the treasure would have separated them. She reciprocates his love.

Les sœurs Fox, Margaret et Kate, sont souvent considérées comme les fondatrices du spiritisme moderne. Pourtant, derrière leur célébrité et leur influence sur le mouvement spirituel du XIXᵉ siècle, se cache une gigantesque imposture qui a trompé des milliers de personnes pendant des décennies.Les débuts du phénomène spirituelEn 1848, Margaret (15 ans) et Kate Fox (11 ans) vivent à Hydesville, un petit village de l'État de New York, avec leurs parents. Un soir, elles prétendent entendre des bruits étranges dans leur maison : des coups frappés, qui semblent répondre à leurs questions. Elles déclarent qu'un esprit communique avec elles, affirmant être celui d'un colporteur assassiné dans la maison.Rapidement, la nouvelle se répand et attire la curiosité. Un système de communication est mis au point : une frappe pour "oui", deux frappes pour "non". La famille Fox et leurs voisins sont convaincus d'assister à un phénomène surnaturel. L'histoire prend de l'ampleur et bientôt, des séances de spiritisme sont organisées publiquement.L'essor du spiritisme et la célébrité des sœurs FoxEncouragées par leur sœur aînée Leah, qui voit une opportunité lucrative, les deux jeunes filles commencent à donner des démonstrations à New York et dans d'autres grandes villes. Elles deviennent de véritables stars du spiritisme, inspirant d'autres médiums et contribuant à la popularité croissante du mouvement.Dans les années 1850, le spiritisme devient un phénomène mondial, séduisant des millions de personnes, y compris des intellectuels et des écrivains célèbres comme Arthur Conan Doyle. Les Fox Sisters en sont les figures de proue, organisant des séances où elles entrent en contact avec les morts, sous les yeux de spectateurs fascinés.L'aveu de la supercherieMais en 1888, Margaret Fox fait une révélation fracassante : tout était faux. Lors d'une conférence publique, elle explique que les bruits étaient produits par un craquement des articulations de leurs orteils et de leurs genoux, un talent qu'elles avaient développé dès l'enfance. Pour prouver ses dires, elle réalise la démonstration devant des témoins, mettant fin au mystère.Cette confession choque leurs partisans et affaiblit le mouvement spirite. Mais malgré tout, le spiritisme perdure encore aujourd'hui, preuve de l'impact durable de leur supercherie.ConclusionLes sœurs Fox ont bâti une légende sur un trucage habile, donnant naissance à un mouvement qui a marqué le XIXᵉ siècle. Leur histoire est un exemple fascinant de la crédulité humaine et de la puissance du désir de croire en l'invisible. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
