Podcast appearances and mentions of Baker Street

What happens when a real estate deal refuses to follow the business plan? In this episode, I break down the full story of our six-unit Baker Street property in Plant City, Florida. We bought it with a straightforward plan: improve the property, sell it quickly, and generate a strong return for our partners. We were three days away from closing the sale when a car crashed into the building. From there, everything changed. The sale fell apart, the market shifted, our original financing was approaching maturity, and eventually we had to abandon the original exit strategy entirely and pursue a cash-out refinance. I walk through what went right, what went wrong, the decisions I still question, and how we ultimately refinanced the property, returned some capital to our partners, built up our reserves, and bought ourselves time. Because real estate investing isn't about having a business plan that works perfectly. It's about being able to adapt when it doesn't. Sometimes surviving long enough to reach the next opportunity is a win.

Our series of radio detectives played by multiple actors takes us today to Baker Street and four men who donned the deerstalker cap of Sherlock Holmes. First, Basil Rathbone is the great detective in "The Tankerville Club" (originally aired on Mutual on April 22, 1946). Next, Tom Conway steps in as Holmes in "The Adventure of the Horseless Carriage" (originally aired on ABC on February 24, 1947). Then, John Stanley stars in "The Adventure of Lady Waverly's Imitation Pearls" (originally aired on Mutual on April 4, 1948). Finally, John Gielgud is Sherlock in the syndicated episode "The Speckled Band."

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF A Scandal in Bohemia A Dramatic Reading by Carolyn Ossorio This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio trades police reports, crime scenes and courtroom testimony for gaslit streets, royal secrets and the fog-shrouded world of 221B Baker Street. Settle in for a special dramatic reading of “A Scandal in Bohemia,” Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Sherlock Holmes story and the unforgettable introduction of Irene Adler. When a mysterious masked visitor arrives at Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes finds himself drawn into an exceedingly delicate problem. A powerful European king is preparing to marry, but somewhere in London exists a photograph capable of destroying the match—and perhaps considerably more. The photograph belongs to Irene Adler, an American opera singer and former lover who has absolutely no intention of surrendering it. Holmes accepts the challenge with his customary confidence. There will be surveillance, disguises, deception and an elaborate trap designed to reveal exactly where Adler has hidden the evidence. There is only one problem. Irene Adler is playing the game, too. First published in 1891, “A Scandal in Bohemia” endures because Doyle does something remarkable with the Sherlock Holmes formula: he gives the world's most famous detective an adversary capable of seeing the board every bit as clearly as he does. This isn't a tale of grisly murder or elaborate violence. Its weapons are intelligence, observation, manipulation and the dangerous assumption that you've already figured out the person standing across from you. And for Holmes, Irene Adler will forever become simply: “The Woman.” Turn down the lights and join Carolyn for a journey into Victorian London and one of the most celebrated adventures in the Sherlock Holmes canon.

The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 15: A Retrospection — The Final Chapter, by Arthur Conan Doyle | A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A calming bedtime story to help you fall asleep — the fifteenth and final chapter of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, read slowly and softly for anyone lying awake in the small hours. The moor is behind us. It is the end of November, and Holmes and Watson are back where they began — either side of a blazing fire in the sitting room at Baker Street, on a raw and foggy London night. Over the course of one long evening, Holmes finally sets out the whole of it: who Stapleton really was, where he came from, how the hound was bought and hidden, and every quiet step of a plan that had been running long before anyone thought to look for one.

Gần 150 năm sau khi ra đời dưới ngòi bút của nhà văn Arthur Conan Doyle, thám tử Sherlock Holmes vẫn giữ nguyên sức cuốn hút mạnh mẽ. Ngoài là nguồn cảm hứng bất tận cho điện ảnh và truyền hình, nhân vật này còn trở thành một huyền thoại văn học. Tại Pháp, chỉ có các tác phẩm quan trọng hàng đầu mới được đưa vào bộ sưu tập La Bibliothèque de la Pléiade. Gần đây, nhà xuất bản Gallimard đã cho xuất bản trong tủ sách có uy tín của mình bộ toàn tập Sherlock Holmes. Tính tổng cộng là 2.500 trang chia thành 2 tập sách dày, bao gồm bốn cuốn tiểu thuyết và 60 truyện ngắn. Bộ toàn tập này được phát hành kèm với một quyển tiểu sử minh họa dày hơn 250 trang. Đây là lần đầu tiên, tủ sách La Pléiade của nhà xuất bản Gallimard dành một quyển « tiểu sử » đặc biệt, kể lại nguồn gốc của một nhân vật hư cấu cũng như những câu chuyện bên lề và tầm ảnh hưởng của Sherlock Holmes trong dòng văn hóa đại chúng. Điều mà Hercule Poirot và Miss Marple của nữ hoàn tiểu thuyết trinh thám Agatha Christie vẫn chưa thực hiện được. Tác giả quyển tiểu sử "Sherlock Holmes" là ông Baudouin Millet, giảng viên chuyên khoa Văn học Anh và Dịch thuật tại Đại học Lumière Lyon II. Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI ban tiếng Pháp, ông Baudouin Millet phác họa vài nét chính của thám tử Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes là một thiên tài có khả năng giải quyết các vấn đề trong vụ án một cách dễ dàng đến mức khó tin, thậm chí ông còn hay nói đùa, có thể làm bẽ mặt những viên thanh tra của Scotland Yard bằng những câu nói như : "Chuyện đơn giản thôi!" hoặc "Anh chẳng hiểu gì cả'', ''Bộ não của anh sao mà nhỏ bé thế''. Có người cho là Sherlock Holmes có một bộ óc xuất chúng, có tài suy luận mạch lạc sắc bén, dựa trên nền tảng logic chặt chẻ, chứ không phỏng đoán mơ hồ. Nhờ vậy, ông giải quyết được các manh mối phức tạp, phá án nhanh để tìm ra thủ phạm. Nhưng theo tôi, Sherlock Holmes có một tư tưởng cởi mở phóng khoáng thiên về nghệ thuật hơn là khoa học. Để phá án, nhân vật này không ngại phá vỡ một số quy tắc, thoát ra ngoài lối suy nghĩ cứng nhắc. Ngoài ra, lối tiếp cận của ông thường được so sánh với một nhà khoa học pháp y, vì những phương pháp giám định của ông đã báo trước các kỹ thuật hiện đại của giới cảnh sát điều tra sau này. Ngay tại căn nhà của ông ở số 221B phố Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes thường hay tiến hành thử nghiệm dùng phương pháp hóa học để đi tìm vết tích bằng chứng, nhưng đồng thời ông cũng phải biết suy luận chặt chẽ để vạch trần tâm lý kẻ phạm tội. Một thiên tài xuất chúng chưa chắc gì đã dễ sống chung. Ngay từ lần xuất hiện đầu tiên vào năm 1887 trong truyện "A Study in Scarlet" cho đến những chuyến phiêu lưu cuối cùng được xuất bản năm 1927, trong đó có vụ án nổi tiếng nhất của ông là "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1902), có thể nói Sherlock Holmes không phải là một người dễ mến với bà chủ nhà (Mrs Hudson) cũng như với người bạn và cộng sự của mình là bác sĩ John Watson. Trong truyện, Sherlock Holmes có tánh tình thay đổi khác thường. Theo tác giả Baudouin Millet, trong mắt của giới chuyên khoa tâm thần học thời nay, nhân vật tiểu thuyết này có triệu chứng của một người bị rối loạn lưỡng cực : Vâng, thuật ngữ rối loạn lưỡng cực chỉ mới được công nhận gần đây. Trước đó, giới bác sĩ từng nhắc đến chứng bệnh ''hưng trầm cảm'' cho đến những năm 1990. Dựa theo cách phân loại mới về các chứng bệnh tâm thần, các chuyên gia nói về triệu chứng rối loạn lưỡng cực khi những giai đoạn cực kỳ hưng phấn đột nhiên biến thành những khoảnh khắc vô cùng trầm cảm. Những đột biến nội tâm này thường không có dấu hiệu báo trước. Trong truyện Sherlock Holmes, câu chuyện được kể theo góc nhìn của bác sĩ Watson và dĩ nhiên ông Watson không dùng chữ rối loạn lưỡng cực vì thuật ngữ này chưa ra đời. Nhưng bác sĩ Watson lại mô tả một cách rõ ràng các triệu chứng hưng cảm rồi trầm cảm của Sherlock Holmes, đặc biệt là trong quyển sách ''The Sign of Four'' (1890). Cũng cần nói rõ, sinh thời nhà văn người Anh Arthur Conan Doyle ngoài đời là một bác sĩ và nhân vật Watson có nhiều nét giống tác giả. Không phải ngẫu nhiên mọi câu chuyện về Sherlock Holmes là do bác sĩ John Watson kể lại, nhân vậy này biết rõ các vấn đề y học. Xuyên qua các quyển tiểu thuyết, độc giả có thể thấy vị thám tử tài ba luôn phải tìm cách xoa dịu những mối dằn vặt trong nội tâm, kể cả dùng rượu mạnh hay ma túy, bất kể bác sĩ Watson có đồng ý hay không. Trong quyển tiểu sử minh họa do Gallimard xuất bản, độc giả vẫn có thể khám phá nhiều chi tiết mới trong cuộc đời của Sherlock Holmes. Nhân vật này sau mỗi lần phá án thường thốt lên câu nói : ''Elementary, my dear Watson" có nghĩa là ''Đơn giản thôi, anh bạn Watson ơi''. Nhưng theo ông Baudouin Millet, câu nói này không phải là của nhà văn Arthur Conan Doyle. Chuyên gia dịch thuật văn học Anh giải thích : Sự thật là trong các tác phẩm của Arthur Conan Doyle, thám tử Sherlock Holmes chưa từng nói câu "Elementary, my dear Watson" (Đơn giản thôi, anh bạn Watson ơi). Trong truyện, ông dùng nhiều lần chữ "elementary" (chuyện đơn giản thôi) để chọc tức viên thanh tra Lestrade của Scotland Yard. Đoạn đối thoại gần giống nhất nằm trong truyện ngắn "The Adventure of the Crooked Man" (1893). Sau khi kết thúc điều tra, bác sĩ Watson thốt lên một câu ngắn gọn  "Excellent!" (Tuyệt vời!), Sherlock Holmes liền đáp lại: "Elementary" (Đơn giản thôi). Vậy thì câu nói kinh điển ''Elementary, my dear Watson) từ đâu mà có ? Thực ra, câu thoại này xuất phát từ các bản phóng tác, chuyển thể tiểu thuyết gốc thành kịch hay phim. Vào năm 1915, nhà văn hài kịch người Anh P.G. Wodehouse lần đầu tiên viết chính xác câu nói này trong một quyển tiểu thuyết hài hước châm biếm (mang tựa đề Psmith, Journalist). Bộ phim có tiếng nói "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" (1929), do Clive Brook vào vai thám tử tài ba là tác phẩm đầu tiên chính thức cho thấy Sherlock Holmes dùng câu nói này trên màn ảnh lớn. Cũng nhờ vào sự thành công vượt bực của các tác phẩm điện ảnh vào những năm 1930–1940 sau đó (do Basil Rathbone đóng vai chính), câu nói này đã được gắn liền với nhân vật Sherlock Holmes cho đến tận bây giờ. Ngày nay, trong nhiều bản phóng tác truyền hình hay điện ảnh, khán giả luôn chờ đợi Sherlock Holmes thốt lên câu nói "Elementary, my dear Watson". Trong mắt công chúng, nó đã trở thành một biểu tượng chính thức cho dù tác giả Arthur Conan Doyle chưa bao giờ viết ra. Về đời sống cá nhân và quan hệ tình cảm, quyển tiểu sử cho biết tác giả Arthur Conan Doyle không tiết lộ gì nhiều về gia cảnh của Sherlock Holmes. Những chi tiết đời tư của vị thám tử, chủ yếu là do suy diễn hay bịa đặt thêm qua phim ảnh. Về mặt tình cảm, quyển tiểu sử có nhắc đến mối tình ngắn ngủi giữa Sherlock Holmes với một người phụ nữ Mỹ tên là Irene Adler, nhân vật này xuất hiện trong truyện ngắn "A Scandal in Bohemia" và từng được Sherlock yêu mến, quý trọng. Sherlock Holmes chỉ gặp Irene Adler một lần duy nhất, nhưng nhân vật này đã thay đổi cuộc đời của ông, hay ít ra cô ấy dã thay đổi quan niệm của Sherlock Holmess về phụ nữ nói chung. Trong một thời gian dài, Sherlock được mô tả như một người đàn ông ''ghét phụ nữ'' do ông sinh trưởng trong một xã hội trọng nam khinh nữ. Bác sĩ Watson không dùng từ ''ghét phụ nữ'', mà chủ yếu nói rằng Sherlock Holmes thường hay chế giễu người phụ nữ kém thông minh. Chỉ sau khi Sherlock gặp Irene Adler, ông mới bắt đầu coi trọng phụ nữ, xem họ có tài năng ngang hàng với mình, hoặc ít ra trong mắt ông, Irene Adler là một ''kỳ phùng địch thủ'' biết đi những nước cờ cao, biết dùng những chiêu bí hiểm. Tuy không công khai thừa nhận, nhưng Sherlock thầm yêu cô Irene và ông cảm thấy ghen tị với tình nhân cũ của cô là hoàng tử Bohemia. Có một điều thú vị, là nhân vật này tuy chỉ xuất hiện một lần trong truyện ngắn, nhưng sau đó lại đóng một vai trò quan trọng hơn rất nhiều, thông qua các bản phóng tác điện ảnh hay truyền hình. Thám tử Sherlock Holmes đã đem lại cho nhà văn Arthur Conan Doyle tiền tài và danh vọng, nhưng vì nhân vật này có một cái bóng quá lớn, cho nên đã che khuất phần còn lại trong sự nghiệp sáng tác của Conan Doyle. Với thời gian, Sherlock Holmes vượt ra ngoài tầm kiểm soát của tác giả, danh tiếng của vị thám tử này còn cao hơn cả người đã sinh ra mình. Có lần nhà văn Conan Doyle cho biết ông ghét Sherlock vì nhân vật này hạn chế việc phổ biến nhiều tiểu thuyết hay với những nhân vật khác, do vậy Conan Doyle  đã tìm cách ''giết'' nhân vật Sherlock trong truyện, nhưng ông lại bất thành. Quyển tiểu sử minh họa trong tủ sách Pléiade, quyển đầu tiên dành riêng cho một nhân vật hư cấu, đã thuật lại quan hệ khá phức tạp giữa Conan Doyle và Sherlock Holmes. Nhân vật huyền thoại này tiếp tục làm say mê nhiều thế hệ qua phim ảnh hay sách truyện. Đứa con tinh thần của nhà văn nổi tiếng từ lâu đã có cuộc sống riêng.

A woman comes to Baker Street with a hundred pounds a year, a typewriter, and a fiancé who has vanished into thin air as if he had never existed at all. Sherlock Holmes never leaves his chair but deduces its solution anyway. Somewhere in a plush sleeve, a torn glove, an ill-fitting boot, the truth is already sitting in plain sight — waiting only to be noticed by those who know how to think. "A Case of Identity" was first published in The Strand Magazine in September 1891, and later collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892). Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish writer and physician best known for creating Sherlock Holmes, one of the most enduring detectives in fiction. Beyond the Holmes canon, he wrote historical novels, science fiction, and non-fiction throughout his life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 6: Baskerville Hall by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A sleep story for anyone lying awake with a busy mind. Tonight, Books at Bedtime continues Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles with Chapter 6 — Baskerville Hall — read slowly and softly by Martin Hewlett, host of Calming Anxiety. Dr Watson leaves Baker Street behind and travels down into Devonshire with Sir Henry Baskerville and Dr Mortimer. Sherlock Holmes stays in London with his parting instruction: report the facts, and leave the theorising to him. The journey carries them past sunlit orchards and gabled houses, and then out onto the great brooding moor. There are armed guards at the little wayside station, a convict loose on Dartmoor, and a house of long shadows waiting at the end of the avenue — and in the dead of the night, Watson hears the sob of a woman somewhere inside Baskerville Hall. Let the words carry you. There is nothing to follow and nothing to remember — if you drift off before the end of the chapter, that is exactly what this recording is for. You can always come back to it tomorrow night. This is a classic audiobook reading for relaxation, insomnia relief and deep sleep — part of the Books at Bedtime and Coffee Break for the Soul series from Calming Anxiety, hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett. Take Calming Anxiety with you anywhere — download Anchored on iOS.

The story of Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" has it all: a troubled, ambivalent creator, an unforgettable sax riff whose ownership has spawned controversy for almost 50 years, and a mysterious, compelling lyric. One of Scotland's leading artistic lights, Rafferty, who started as partner to the beloved comedian Billy Connolly in The Humblebums, went on the wow the world with Stealer's Wheel's irresistible mega-hit "Stuck in the middle with you, before torpedoing that early success. He refused to tour, and after going solo, became increasingly withdrawn into an alcoholic death-spiral, which ended with his death at age 63.   Bill and Rich, The Splendid Bohemians relate the story as only they can - with reverence, tempered with their unique perspective. Take a walk with us down BAKER STREET. 

“Yacht rock” as a term dates to the early 2000s, but the music it describes lives squarely in the late 1970s and early 80s. We're talking the smooth sounds of summer, a little bit jazz, a touch of funk, a generous dollop of soulful crooning, all undercut by rock instrumentation by some of the grooviest white guys in the biz. You don't have to be on a boat to enjoy yacht rock. It's the perfect summer soundtrack no matter where you are. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate for one of our 2026 Summer Specials as we say ALL ABOARD and attempt to name the best Yacht Rock Song of all time.Songs discussed: “Africa” by TOTO, “Peg” by Steely Dan, “How Long” by Ace, “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross, “This Is It” by Kenny Loggins, “Steal Away” by Robbie Dupree, “Lido Shuffle” by Boz Scaggs, “All Out of Love” by Air Supply, “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers, “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” by Rupert Holmes, “Baker Street” by Gerry Rafferty, “Saturday in the Park” by Chicago, “Can't Fight This Feeling” by REO Speedwagon, “I Keep Forgettin'” by Michael McDonald, “You Make My Dreams (Come True)” by Hall & Oates, “Baby Come Back” by PlayerJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD Panelists Derek Mekita, Jonny Minogue, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the smoothest jazz-rock jams from the 70s and 80s.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional yacht-rock gems that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

Did it have to make the Top 40? Does it count if the song barely charted, but every classic rock station played it eight times a day? Does it count if the band had other hits, but your local station decided, “No thank you, we will only be playing the one with the riff”?Jason and Geoff dig into a playlist of “that song!” bands, the groups whose names you may not know, whose albums you may never have heard, but whose one immortal track has been following you around your whole life through movie trailers, sports arenas, local classic rock stations, beer commercials, jukeboxes, and dads' cars.Along the way, Jason and Geoff discuss Christian fuzz gospel death boogie, LA spirituality, Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe's Seinfeld cup, Mungo holes, proto-metal holes, Paul Carrick's voice, Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street legacy, Tarantino soundtrack brain, Leslie West making a Les Paul look tiny, Arthur Brown as a pre-KISS theatrical freak, Argent records that Geoff keeps buying and selling, KISS's “God Gave Rock and Roll to You II,” and whether Europe should legally be required to play “The Final Countdown” three times per set.This is Part One.

NIGHTMARE ON BAKER STREET - It's fair to say it had been a challenging few months for a certain Dr. John Watson of 221b Baker Street (that's me). Unfortunately may attempt to soften my trauma with very British behaviour of ignoring it entirely eventually allowed the trauma to manifest itself into nightmares. Never been a nightmare guy. Now I'm a nightmare guy. Not a huge fan. But it does at least mean I get to catch up with Sherlock Holmes during his preferred hours.

The snow fell thick over Baker Street, blanketing London in a rare, pristine white. Inside number 221B, a roaring fire crackled in the grate, casting long shadows across the room where Sherlock Holmes sat enveloped in a haze of blue tobacco smoke. It was Christmas Eve, a season of peace for most, but for my brilliant friend, a period of stagnant boredom.This episode includes AI-generated content.

"the affair which you have commemorated" [MUSG]  We welcome back Gus and Luke Holwerda, hosts of The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes Podcast, along with their producer, David Youell, to discuss Brettcon 2: The Return. Scheduled for September 19, 2026, at the Dancehouse Theatre in Manchester, this second conference in the series continues to celebrate the 40th anniversary of legendary Granada Television series and the incomparable Jeremy Brett.    Following the success of their first conference in 2025, they reflect on the extraordinary sense of community the event inspired, bringing together fans from around the world with actors and crew members who shared memories of Jeremy Brett — a brilliant actor, and an admired and generous human being whose presence still resonates.   We discuss Brettcon 2's star-studded lineup, which includes actor Michael Siberry, BAFTA-winning costume designer Esther Dean, actor and stuntman Kiran Shah, and an exclusive for IHOSE of a very special pair of guests. From screenings of classic episodes to displays of original, unseen costumes, it's a salute to the artistry and community that defined the Granada era.    Beyond the main event, Gus, Luke and David also discuss the weekend extravaganza that takes fans into the heart of the show's production history, including a Friday meal at the former Granada Studios back lot, the original site of Baker Street. And they highlight the charitable mission at the heart of Brettcon, with all proceeds benefiting the mental health charity MindUK, in honor of Jeremy's own journey.   And you'll want to make sure you listen to additional bonus material as our conversation continued.   Our "Learned Societies" segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities coming up in the second half of July. Then, it's a new edition of "Examining the Pictures," with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI, as he reviews a cult classic from the 1970s. Finally, the Canonical Couplet quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of something from the vaults for the winner.

En el restaurante Milano tiene lugar la última cena de El Club de los Viudos Negros. Una reunión final, como todas las anteriores: elegante, tranquila y peligrosamente inteligente. Esta vez, un invitado llega con un relato de ciencia ficción sobre un eclipse, pero sin trama. Solo una imagen, un destello, una intuición.

In honor of his May 6th birthday, we're saluting the great Orson Welles with a pair of radio performances set on Baker Street. First, he's the great detective himself in "The Immortal Sherlock Holmes" from The Mercury Theatre On the Air (originally aired on CBS on September 25, 1938). Then, he's Holmes' archnemesis Professor Moriarty - opposite John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson as Holmes and Watson - in a syndicated production of "The Final Problem."

Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 单词提示1.kidnapping 绑架原文Chapter 1: Sherlock Holmes has a VisitorWhen visitors came to see Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street, they often did surprising things.Sometimes,they put their heads in their hands and cried.Sometimes,they talked and talked and couldn't stop.And sometimes,they just sat there and didn't say a word.But nobody was more surprising than Dr Thorneycroft Huxtable.He was a large man, tall, well dressed, and important looking.He came into the room, walked to one of the big chairs, and suddenly fell into it.He sat there with his eyes closed, looking white and ill.I ran to get some water for him, then I got my Dr's bag and looked at him carefully."What is it, Watson?" said Holmes."He's all right, I think, " I said, "He's just very, very tired and probably hungry, too. "Holmes looked in the man's pockets and found a train ticket from Mackleton in the north of England."Mackleton? That's a long way," said Holmes, "it'snot 12 o'clock yet, so he probably left home before 5 o'clock this morning."After a minute or two, the man began to move and his eyes opened.A second later,he got quickly to his feet.His face was now red and unhappy."Mr.Holmes, I am so sorry I forgot to eat or drink anything this morning, that's why I felt ill.""When you feel better?" I began."I'm better now. Thank you," said our visitor, "and I want very much to talk to Mr. Holmes to ask him something. Please, Mr.Holmes, come back to Mackleton to with me by the next train.""I'm sorry, that's not possible," said Holmes, "I'm working on two important cases, the Ferris case and the Abergavenny case. I cannot leave London at the moment.""Important cases? "our visitor cried, "but this case is very important too. You know about the kidnapping of the son of the Duke of Holderness three days ago.""What? The government minister?""Yes, that's so you didn't know, it's not in the newspapers yet, that's true.""But Sherlock Holmes always hears news before other people."I thought.Holmes went to get one of his books and began to read the page about the Duke of Holderness."Holderness,6th Duke. Wife: Edith, daughter of Lord Grey. One child: Lord Arthur Saltire,houses in London, Lancashire and Wales. Government minister for this, for that, for the other. Well,well…" said Holmes, "he's one of the greatest men in the country.""One of the greatest and one of the richest," said Dr Huxtable, "I know, Mr.Holmes, that you don't work for money, but I must tell you this. The duke is offering 5000 pounds for news of his son and another 1000 pounds for the name of his kidnapper.""That,"said Holmes, "is a most interesting offer."He looked at me."Watson,I think we are going with Dr Huxtable back to the north of England this afternoon."Holmes then looked at Dr Huxtable."Now, sir, tell me everything, what happened, when did it happen, how did it happen, and why does Dr Thorneycroft Huxtable come to ask for my help three days later?"Our visitor drank some water and began his story.翻译第一章：夏洛克·福尔摩斯迎来访客当访客们来到贝克街看望夏洛克·福尔摩斯时，他们常常会做出一些令人惊讶的举动。有时，他们会双手抱头哭泣。有时，他们会不停地交谈，无法停止。还有时，他们只是静静地坐着，一言不发。但没有人比索恩克罗夫特·赫克斯特博士更令人惊讶了。他是个身材高大、衣着讲究、看上去很有身份的男人。他走进房间，走到一张大椅子前，突然就瘫坐在了椅子上。他闭着眼睛坐在那里，脸色苍白，看起来病恹恹的。我跑去给他拿来一些水，然后拿上我的医生包，仔细地打量着他。“怎么了，华生？”福尔摩斯问道。“我觉得他没事，”我说，“他只是非常非常疲惫，可能还饿了。”福尔摩斯查看了那个人的口袋，发现里面有一张从英格兰北部麦克勒顿出发的火车票。“麦克勒顿？那可远着呢，”福尔摩斯说，“现在才 12 点，所以他大概是在今天早上 5 点前就离开家的。”过了一两分钟，那个人开始动起来，眼睛也睁开了。片刻之后，他迅速站了起来。他的脸现在红了，显得很不高兴。“福尔摩斯先生，非常抱歉，我今天早上竟然什么都没吃也没喝，所以才身体不适。”“那你感觉好些了吗？”我问道。“现在好多了。谢谢你。”我们的访客说道，“我非常想和福尔摩斯先生谈谈，向他请教一些问题。拜托了，福尔摩斯先生，能和我一起乘坐下一班火车回到麦克勒顿吗？”“很抱歉，这不行。”福尔摩斯说道，“我目前正忙于处理两起重要的案件，费里斯案和阿伯加文尼案。此刻我无法离开伦敦。”“重要的案件？”访客惊呼道，“但这个案子也很重要。你知道三天前霍尔德伦斯公爵的儿子被绑架的事吧。”“什么？那位政府部长？”“是的，这样你就不知道这件事了，因为它还没有登报，这是真的。”“但夏洛克·福尔摩斯总是比其他人更早得知消息。”我想。福尔摩斯去拿了一本书，然后开始阅读有关霍尔德内斯公爵的那一章节。“霍尔德内斯，第六代公爵。妻子：伊迪丝，格雷勋爵的女儿。有一个孩子：亚瑟·萨特里勋爵，他在伦敦、兰开夏和威尔士都有房产。担任这个部门、那个部门、其他部门的政府部长。嗯，嗯……”福尔摩斯说道，“他是这个国家最杰出的人物之一。”“他是最杰出的，也是最富有的之一。”赫克斯特博士说道，“福尔摩斯先生，我知道您不为金钱工作，但我必须告诉您这件事。这位公爵出价 5000 英镑想要获取有关他儿子的消息，另外还出价 1000 英镑想要知道绑架他的凶手的名字。”“那，”福尔摩斯说道，“这是一个非常有趣的提议。”他看向我。“华生，我觉得今天下午我们会和赫克斯塔布尔医生一起回到英格兰北部。”然后霍姆斯看向赫克斯塔布尔医生。“现在，先生，请告诉我一切，发生了什么，什么时候发生的，是怎么发生的，还有为什么索恩克罗夫特·赫克斯特博士三天后会来向我求助？”我们的访客喝了些水，开始讲述他的故事。

"the hidden wickedness" [COPP]      Vincent Starrett eventually became the dean of American Sherlockians, widely recognized as the foremost expert and significant collector, in part due to his publication of The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes in 1933. This month's Morley-Montgomery Award episode comes to us from Starrett expert Ray Betzner, BSI ("The Agony Column") from Vol. 57, No. 3 of The Baker Street Journal.   But before that book made its way to the public, a chapter appeared in a rather unusual place. For Starrett, who was accustomed to his Jimmy Lavender series appearing in, shall we say, less than family-friendly places, his Sherlock Holmes material appearing there must have been just a Trifle.     If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your inquiry on the show, we'll send you a thank you gift.   There's a new "Trifling Trifles" episode out — short-form content that doesn't warrant a full episode.

"the celebrated Mr. Sherlock Holmes" [SCAN]    The Sherlock Holmes Society of London marks its 75th anniversary in 2026, and today we talk with coordinator Ashley Mayo about the year-long celebration, and his deep-rooted connection to the world of Baker Street. Ashley gives us a grand tour of the 2026 program, including Victorian-costumed pilgrimages in the Swiss Alps, a special event at Hammersmith's Riverside Studios, a weekend symposium at the University of Cambridge, and much more.   You'll also hear about his introduction to the Society at the landmark 1987 centenary dinner for A Study in Scarlet, and how his passion for Sherlockian scholarship led to the creation of "The Scrapbook," a digital archive that provides easy access to decades of articles from the Society's Journal, organized by case and theme.   Our "Learned Societies" segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities coming up in the first half of July. Then, it's a new edition of "Examining the Pictures," with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI, as he reviews Sherlock, Jr.    Finally, the Canonical Couplet quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a set of Sherlock Holmes Society of London coasters for the winner.

"through the courtesy of Mr. Moriarty" [FINA]     As a student and practitioner of the latest forensic sciences as they pertained to the world of crime, Sherlock Holmes was on the cutting edge. He even wrote a number of monographs on topics related to crime.   One might think that among them we might find "on the use of fingerprints to identify criminals." This is not the case. Why, we even had trouble finding trifling details about fingerprints in the entire Canon. Yet it's just a Trifle.    If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com.

In this Reel Insights interview, Sean Tajipour, the Mayor of Nerdtropolis, chats with Young Sherlock showrunner Matthew Parkhill and star Dónal Finn about the bold new mystery series that reimagines the early days of Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty.From director Guy Ritchie, Young Sherlock is an irreverent, action-packed origin story that follows a youthfully defiant Sherlock Holmes as he is pulled into his first murder investigation, one that threatens his freedom and uncovers a globe-trotting conspiracy. Set in a vibrant Victorian world, the series explores the early adventures that help shape the legendary detective long before Baker Street.During the conversation, Parkhill opens up about honoring the Sherlock Holmes canon while still finding room to reinvent the mythology in fresh and exciting ways. He also discusses the series' biggest swing by exploring a young Sherlock who is rough around the edges and a Moriarty who enters his life far earlier than fans may expect.Finn shares what drew him to playing Moriarty at such an early stage in the character's life, along with the challenge of portraying a man who has not yet become the infamous “Napoleon of Crime.” He talks about tracing Moriarty's emotional journey and the choices that could eventually shape him into one of literature's most legendary villains.Starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Dónal Finn, Zine Tseng, Max Irons, Natascha McElhone, Joseph Fiennes, and Colin Firth, Young Sherlock brings a fresh new energy to one of fiction's most iconic worlds.Visit Nerdtropolis.comFacebook.com/nerdtropolisInstagram.com/nerdtropolisTwitter.com/nerdtropolis

You may be familiar with the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but did you know that a crime-solving mouse is living in the walls of his Baker Street apartment? His name is Basil, but you may know him better as The Great Mouse Detective. In this Walt Disney animated film, Basil goes up against the evil Professor Ratigan (Vincent Price) to save London from his villainous plans.Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?

"I can't stand his lordship" [MAZA]   For hapless Americans, the titles used by peers in the Sherlock Holmes stories can be vexing indeed. One would think that Sherlock Holmes would be able to keep things straight.   Between his devil-may-care attitude toward the upper class and Conan Doyle's own lack of breeding, Damian Thompson found a decided gap in the way certain members of the peerage are titled. And it's just a Trifle.     If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com.

Rob, Pax, Jacob, and Michael are back on Baker Street, this time with Edward "The Equalizer" Woodward and John "Higgins" Hillerman as Holmes and Watson in the 1990 TV movie, Hands of a Murderer.

"It confirms my diagnosis, as you doctors express it." [SIGN]   Our latest Morley-Montgomery award episode features another dive into the medical world of Sherlock Holmes. But this time, it's about a diagnosis made by Dr. Watson.   In 2004, Costa Rossakis, MD, BSI ("St. Bartholomew's Hospital"), a trained cardiologist, investigated exactly what was going on with the nervous Thaddeus Sholto. His article (but not his diagnosis) is just a Trifle.     If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com.

Welcome back to the Video Store Podcast. It's Women's History Month, so today, we're honoring the life of Jane Baer, a trailblazer for women in animation. We lost Jane on February 16, 2026, and though you may not have known her name, you have seen her work. Her work has been so influential that we've already talked about a few of her films here on the Video Store Podcast. We've selected 4 films for the staff picks wall this week, highlighting her work. The Rescuers (1977)First up is the underrated Disney classic, The Rescuers from 1977. Bianca and Bernard are sent from the Rescue Aid Society to save Penny, an orphan girl held captive by the evil Madam Medusa, who is hunting for the Devil's Eye, an enormous diamond in a small cave that's only big enough for a small girl to get into. Can they save her? You'll have to watch The Rescuers to find out. Pete's Dragon (1977)Combining live-action with animated sequences, Pete's Dragon from 1977 made 5-year-old me believe that I could become friends with my favorite cartoon characters. Jane's work on this film carries over to another film that her own animation company helped produce in 1988, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The Great Mouse Detective (1986)A vastly underrated and unsung Disney classic from 1986, The Great Mouse Detective is an adaptation of the book series of the same name. Basil of Baker Street must stop the nefarious Professor Rattigan from taking out the Queen and becoming the royal consort of all mousedom. This film is notable for its gorgeous styling and performance from Vincent Price as Professor Rattigan. The Prince and the Pauper (1990)Finally, we look at a lesser-known Disney short, The Prince and the Pauper, based on the Mark Twain story of the same name. This short features Mickey as both the titular Prince and Pauper, and was produced with the aid of Jane's production company, Baer Animation. For these films, as well as many more, we lift our glasses and bowls of popcorn in honor of Jane Baer's life and work. Happy Women's History Month, and thanks for joining us here at the Video Store Podcast. Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! This post is public so feel free to share it. This is a public episode.

"we have had a close shave" [SIGN]  Holmes was always clean-shaven, Watson always had a mustache. This is the way of the world of Sherlock Holmes as we know it.   But they didn't arrive at that state naturally. Like any good Victorian gentleman who eschewed whiskers, they had to shave. As did others in the Canon. We explore a bit of the history of shaving and its applications. It's just a Trifle.     If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com.

"a bit of professional business between two gentlemen" [3GAR]   In this month's Mr. Sherlock Holmes the theorist, we turn again to a bit of British scholarship from the 1950s.     James Edward Holroyd's chapter "Dr. Watson and Mr. Wilde" in Baker Street By-Ways does an exemplary job of comparing the timelines of the great detective and the great wit, who each had a connection to a certain dinner with J.M. Stoddart of Lippincott's. It's just a Trifle.     If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com.

"some strange and inexplicable horror in the background" [CARD]   This Morley-Montgomery award-winning article is the only one written under a pseudonym (thus far). In "The Case of 'J': A Psychoanalytic Case Study with Particular Attention to `Marriage Neurosis', one D.K. Andrews provides a 1920s medical journal-like case study.   In it, Dr. Andrews presents the background of an individual every Sherlockian is familiar with, providing some Freudian analysis on decisions this individual has made.

Today on Word Balloon, I'm joined by two writers who know their way around both classic deduction and deep-cut science fiction as we talk about the Kickstarter for their new novel, Sherlock Holmes: The Southwark Stigmata. This is a project that leans hard into atmosphere, mystery, and character, re-examining Holmes through a darker, more psychologically charged lens, and the Kickstarter is giving readers a chance not just to support the book, but to be part of its launch in a meaningful way.My guests are Michael Jan Friedman and Christopher Abbott. Mike brings decades of storytelling experience and an encyclopedic command of Star Trek, shaped by his many Trek novels and his work on Star Trek: Voyager. Chris is equally steeped in Trek lore, having written thoughtful Star Trek essays for Film Threat, and together they share a genuine love for canon, continuity, and bold reinterpretation. We dig into the origins of The Southwark Stigmata, how their collaboration came together, and why Sherlock Holmes still has new stories worth telling today.

 "Important issues might hang upon our journey." [SIGN]    Join us as we speak to Steve Mason and Greg Ruby about their adventure this past summer — a whirlwind, five-day odyssey through the rugged landscapes of Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico, tracking down 39 locations with hidden ties to Baker Street. Decades after a simpler, four-stop Texas road trip set the precedent, our intrepid investigators clocked 2,414 miles in heat of the last week of August, all to prove that the Great Detective's influence knows no borders.  You'll hear how they bridged the gap between the dusty plains and the foggy streets of London, and found Holmesian echoes in the most unexpected places. It's all about imagination, and how their "Great Sherlockian Whimsical Tour II" transformed the American Southwest into a sprawling map of Victorian mystery. We also give you a glimpse of Sherlockian society activities, this time in the first half of February in "The Learned Societies" segment. Then we announce an exciting new segment launching in 2026, and the Canonical Couplet quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a prize from the IHOSE vaults for the winner.
