Listen Now to Future News 11.08.2022 NASA has never been one to not have a few good missions unfolding, not the least of which is the Artemis space ship and it’s trip to the moon next week.  And then there’s the Lunar Flashlight..On the moon, we must find…water!!  And what better to find it with than a special ‘flashlight.’   And then we have the first sonification of our planet’s massive magnetic field; where we can listen to the beautiful aurora borealis, solar flares hitting the field, and other Gaian electro-magnetic phenomena.  And since we are paying attention to the Earth, consider that COP 27 is happening this week, where the health of the planet is under scrutiny.  For the future of power, the race is heating up towards electrification of energy or the use of hydrogen, the most plentiful element in the universe. Much progress is being had in both building better batteries and in the use of hydrogen. A promising trajectory is not just Greeen Hydrogen from solar electrolysis,  but now Red Hydrogen, where high temperatures generated by the excess heat of nuclear reactors can cheaply create the gas from water. Wow, enjoy!

AF Cronicles incontra Redh e il suo produttore Byron, per fare due chiacchiere sul nuovo disco, riflessioni da quarantena e pillole di attualità. Il tutto condito da tante risate e momenti più introspettivi. Buon ascolto! 

“I have made a small study of tattoo marks” [REDH]  Tattoos. A rare topic in the Sherlock Holmes story, yet they're key in helping Sherlock Holmes to discern a little more about a few individuals.   How common were tattoos in Victorian England? Where did they originate? And who in the Canon had them? It's just a Trifle.     Find Trifles wherever you listen to podcasts: Listen to Sherlock Holmes: Trifles      Have you left us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts yet?

“the little man was much more favourable to me” [REDH]  In their 86-year history the Baker Street Irregulars have had six leaders. Of them, Julian Wolff, BSI ("The Red-Headed League) seems to have been the least likely.   As Malvolio says in Twelfth Night, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." Julian was in the third category, as there was a leadership vacuum following the unexpected death of Edgar W. Smith in 1960, after 20 years of leadership, and Julian's name was put forth to fill Edgar's considerable shoes.   The latest entry in the BSI Press Biography Series is  by Sonia Fetherston, BSI ("The Solitary Cyclist"). Sonia returns to I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere to explore Julian's life inside and outside of the BSI, the secrets behind some of the back room jockeying, and the dry humor and self-control that powered this well-respected leader who saved the BSI from near extinction.   Inside this episode you'll find a very special flashback segment from  with Evelyn Herzog, BSI ("The Daintiest Thing Under a Bonnet") and Susan Rice, BSI ("Beeswing") where the two stories intersect.   The Canonical Couplet is back, with fresh new entries (as we blew through the first 60!).

“a composer of no ordinary merit.” [REDH]  From the very beginning of the Sherlock Holmes stories, we know that Sherlock Holmes plays the violin. It's one of the personality traits he admits to Watson and that Watson later chronicles. In addition to Holmes's own performances, we come across a number of other composers and their works in the Canon. Who and what were they? It's just a Trifle.   Have you left us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts yet?

"off to violin-land, where all is sweetness and delicacy and harmony" [REDH]    One of the most off-hand but arresting comments that Sherlock Holmes made was that he owned a Stradivarius violin. That he had purchased for a mere 55 shillings!   What do we know of Stradivarius instruments, and about Holmes's own ability on the violin?    Have you left us a rating and review on the podcast player of your choice yet?

"no ordinary merit" [REDH]  In 2014, the Sherlockian world was taken by complete and utter surprise when William Gillette's 1916 film Sherlock Holmes was discovered. It was the closest thing we'd ever have to seeing Gillette on stage, and Russell Merritt, BSI ("The Trepoff Murder") was part of the team that restored it.   We carried the news on our site, but now we're pleased to share the backstory of how it came to be, thanks to an interview with Russell Merritt, a University of California Berkeley film professor and an expert on silent films. In this episode, Russell also discusses the impact of Eille Norwood and the whereabouts of his 45 movies, the recently rediscovered 1929 German film Der Hund von Baskerville, and how he is likely the last person to first read A Study in Scarlet in an original Beeton's.   And don't forget to try your hand at the latest Canonical Couplet and win a prize – you don't need to be a  – now every listener is eligible to participate!

"one of those boxes" [REDH]  At the start of the First World War, there was a mass outpouring of sympathy and charity for the men fighting for Britain. The Royal family were not immune to this and in October 1914, the young Princess Mary, inspired by her visits to hospitals for injured soldiers, wanted to show her support. So she publicly announced her intentions to provide a gift for ‘every sailor afloat and every soldier at the front’. Such decorative boxes were fine for enlisted men, but what about the spies? They couldn't be seen with readily identifiable hardware. Ross Davies, BSI ("The Temple") joined us to talk about just what these boxes were and how they may have included an item or two related to Sherlock Holmes. But digging a little deeper, he discovered the possibility that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and publisher George H. Doran may have been collaborating to provide propaganda to the troops.    This, as well as the next major BSI Excursion, our couplet competition, and more await in the latest episode of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere.   Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below.     And please do consider becoming a .

"Sarasate plays at St. James's Hall this afternoon" [REDH]  We know Sherlock Holmes enjoyed music. From his own violin playing to a few mentions of concerts he attended, he often escaped from the woes of the world and the problems he was trying to solve through music. In "The Adventure of the Red Headed League," he says "Sarasate plays at St. James's Hall this afternoon," and he and Watson make their way to the concert, where Holmes clearly enjoyed himself, "wrapped in the most perfect happiness, gently waving his long, thin fingers in time to the music." But what do we know about Sarasate? Who was this performer who was able to distract Holmes for a few hours?   Have you left us a rating and review on the podcast player of your choice yet?

"fondness for photography" [REDH]    During the earliest days of the Sherlock Holmes stories, photography was still in its infancy. And yet, we are greeted with a number of instances in which photography plays a central or partial role in the plot.   Who were the Canonical photographers and why did they pursue this hobby? And how did photographs play into Sherlock Holmes's ability to solve crimes?   We also have a follow-up item from Episode 37, thanks to some listener feedback.   Please leave us a rating and review on the podcast player of your choice, and consider supporting our efforts through Patreon or PayPal.   Links Stories mentioned in this episode:  "The Red Headed League" "The Copper Beeches" "A Scandal in Bohemia" "The Veiled Lodger" "The Three Garridebs" "The Lion's Mane" Arthur Conan Doyle, Photographer and the tale of "Chawles" - The British Journal of Photography Evidence of Holmes's studies: Sherlock Holmes at Oxford (2nd edition 1981) Fibber McGee and Molly Walter Paget   Music credits Performers: Uncredited violinist, US Marine Chamber Orchestra  Publisher Info.: Washington, DC: United States Marine Band  Copyright: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0   --

"have even contributed to the literature of the subject" [REDH]  We know that the field of writings about Sherlock Holmes has been plowed thoroughly for over 100 years. In fact, it began as far back as 1902, according to some research, being thrust into the limelight with the Oxford lectures of Fr. Ronald Knox. Publications like the Baker Street Journal and the Sherlock Holmes Journal have been cranking out their issues multiple times a year since the mid-20th century, and other regular periodicals as well as hundreds upon hundreds of books have dedicated themselves to the study of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works about Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes. Does it show any sign of abating? What can we learn about the next wave of our hobby, based on looking at the past? We look at some of the cornerstones and collected works to give a sense as to what we can expect from Sherlockian scholars of the 21st century.   Sponsors This episode includes our two longtime sponsors.
