Podcasts about Sherlock Holmes

March 1, 1932. East Amwell Township, New Jersey. 20-month old Charles Lindbergh Jr., the son of renowned aviator Charles Lindbergh, is abducted from his crib in the nursery of his home and a note is left behind demanding a $50,000 ransom for the baby's safe return. Even though the ransom is eventually paid out to an unidentified man at a cemetery in the Bronx, the child is not returned and his body is found in a wooded area located just over four miles from the Lindbergh residence. His cause of death is a fractured skull and it is believed that he was killed on the very same night he was kidnapped. Over two years later, a suspect named Bruno Richard Hauptmann is charged, convicted and executed for the child's murder. However, some people believe that Hauptmann was railroaded and even though nearly a century has passed, there is still a lot of controversy and debate surrounding one of the most famous cases of all time. To commemorate the milestone of our ten-year anniversary as a podcast, “The Trail Went Cold” will be presenting our very first special four-part episode and exploring the crime known as the “Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping”. This week, on Part Three, we explore a number of theories about the case which have been pushed forward over the years, including the possibility that Hauptmann committed the crime alongside some accomplices who got away with it, or that Charles Lindbergh himself staged the kidnapping in order to cover up his own complicity in his son's death. Our final chapter in the series, Part Four, will be released next week.

"Only one word of epilogue" [DANC]    Today we're joined by Bob Katz, BSI, the founder of The Epilogues of Sherlock Holmes, a scion society that spent over three decades exploring the world of 221B Baker Street. Bob named the group after the subhead of "His Last Bow," observing that an epilogue, after all, is something that follows — and for thirty years, the group followed the Great Detective through meetings dedicated to friendship and story discussions.  All of their meetings were held in the resonant walls of a Quaker meeting house, with the group soon adopting a two-story format, where discussions of two of Watson's cases were followed by unearthing the hidden links and echoes between them. Beyond the scholarly deep dives, the Epilogues were legendary for their informal, affordable atmosphere, fueled, in large part, by Peter McIntyre's celebrated homemade ice cream. Having now concluded their own Great Hiatus, the Epilogues will officially kick off a new chapter with their first online meeting later this year.  Join us as we discuss the group's history, the art of finding connections between stories, and their relaunch this coming May, when they invite a new generation of Sherlockians to join the conversation. And sign up to be notified. We kick off our "Learned Societies" segment with Sherlockian society activities in the first half of May. Then it's a new edition of "Examining the Pictures," with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI. This time, Christian explores Bill Condon's 2015 film, Mr. Holmes, with the script by Jeffrey Hatcher, BSI.  The Canonical Couplet quiz then tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of something from the IHOSE vaults for the winner.

Most people don't investigate. They react. In this episode, we break down the Inference Cycle, the psychological defence system elite investigators use to prevent confirmation bias, emotional reasoning, and premature certainty. From early inquisitorial systems to Joseph Bell (the real-life inspiration for Sherlock Holmes), we explore how structured reasoning replaced accusation, and why that matters now more than ever. You'll learn: • Why suspicion is not a verdict• How to build falsifiable hypotheses• The danger of narrative seduction• Why evidence must be designed before it's collected• How cognitive dissonance corrupts smart people• The psychological discipline Sherlock Holmes actually represents This is not about memorizing facts. It's about training your character to tolerate ambiguity. As Holmes said: “It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.” If you want sharper thinking, better judgment, and intellectual humility under pressure, this episode is for you.

"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.

In this thrilling episode of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson recounts an adventure that takes place on Guy Fawkes Day. The story begins with the historical significance of the day and transitions into a mysterious visit from Mr. James Stewart, who fears for his life due to threats from his cousin. As Holmes investigates, they uncover a plot involving gunpowder and a sinister plan to murder Mr. Stewart. The narrative unfolds with suspenseful twists, leading to a dramatic climax on the rooftops of London, where the true intentions of the characters are revealed. The episode concludes with reflections on the events and the enduring legacy of the Gunpowder Plot.Most mysteries stem from simple ideas—like a childhood joke or a familiar name. But what if that childhood prank spirals into a deadly, elaborate plot involving a tunnel, stolen dummies, and a century-old conspiracy? Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson unravel a twisted murder scheme that combines Guy Fawkes' historic gunpowder plot with modern-day danger—right on Guy Fawkes Day.In this gripping episode, you'll discover how a secret tunnel and staged disguises nearly turned into a catastrophe. Holmes leverages his legendary attention to detail, unpicking clues like a silk strip with a wire ring and a fake dummy to expose a murderer's carefully crafted revenge plot. We break down the deliberate use of historical symbolism, with ties to the 1605 gunpowder conspiracy, revealing how ancient plots influence contemporary crime.We explore Holmes' unique methods: turning disguises into investigative tools, utilizing the Baker Street Irregulars effectively, and decoding symbolic gestures—like Falconby's falconry-themed accessories—that unveil the truth. Dr. Watson offers insights into his own experience of the case, revealing how Holmes' deduction skills turn seemingly insignificant clues into life-saving revelations.Why does it matter? Neglecting the nuances of disguise, symbolism, and historical context leaves vital evidence undiscovered—making crimes easier for cunning villains to pull off. Holmes' approach demonstrates the importance of patience, knowledge, and a detective's instinct to see beyond the surface—transforming suspicion into certainty.Perfect for fans of clever mysteries, historical intrigue, and masterful deduction, this episode highlights why Holmes remains the ultimate detective. Whether you're a casual listener or a devoted sleuth, you'll walk away with tricks to sharpen your own investigative skills—and a new appreciation for the timeless art of deduction.Join us as Holmes exposes a deadly game where history repeats itself—reminding us that some treason and plots are never forgotten, only reshaped by those who dare to repeat them.

Veteran Italian officer Andrea Boggiatto, who now serves in Colorado pulls back the curtain on how culture, tools, and law shape policing on both sides of the Atlantic. From 400‑person academy classes and national public order units to mid-sized U.S. agencies built on names and faces, he walks us through the structural DNA that drives training, tactics, and trust.We get specific about the moments that decide outcomes: radio traffic under stress, the tempo of dialogue, and the rungs between words and force. In Italy, many officers carry a baton and a sidearm but lack tasers, OC spray, and even consistent access to ballistic vests. That narrowed toolkit pushes decisions toward sharper edges. Contrast that with American emphasis on layered force options and “act like you've been there” comms—habits that slow the clock when seconds matter. He admits he had to rewire instinct, shifting from “one, two, ten” to a steadier climb where patience is a trained skill, not just a personality trait.The legal terrain might be the starkest divide. He unpacks a Milan shooting involving a realistic replica and the intense scrutiny that followed, then lays out why Italian civilians face steep barriers to gun ownership and self-defense. Even victims who protect their families can be pulled into years of litigation. It's a sobering counterpoint to the U.S. “home as castle” mindset and a reminder that legitimacy rests as much on courts as on streets. Through it all runs a simple idea: the badge is an amplifier. Good character, sound training, and clear policy make better outcomes; weak links get louder, faster.If you care about practical reform—recruiting for temperament, building scenario-based judgment, tightening radio discipline, and giving officers lawful, effective options between baton and bullet—this conversation offers grounded, field-tested insight. Listen, share with a friend who has strong opinions about European vs. American policing, and leave a review with the one change you'd export across the Atlantic.send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.comPeregrine.io: Turn your worst detectives into Sherlock Holmes, head to Peregrine.io tell them Two Cops One Donut sent you or direct message me and I'll get you directly connected and skip the salesmen.Support the showPlease see our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoCopsOneDonut Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc *Send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.com

 Remembering Frank StaggLast week marked 50 years of the death of Frank Stagg on hunger strike in Wakefield Prison, in England.  Events, including a black flag vigil and a march and rally were organised to remember the Mayo man. Gerry Kelly who was on hunger strike in England in the 1970s for over 206 days, during which he was force fed 167 times, gave the main oration in Ballina and spoke of Frank's great courage and commitment.I was in Long Kesh when Frank died on 12 February 1976 after 62 days on hunger strike. Britain's intransigence and in particular the obduracy of the then Home Secretary Roy Jenkins, ensured that Frank's fourth hunger strike would result in his death. As we walked around the Cage or sat in our cells the talk from when Frank embarked on his fast, was about his resolve and strength of character as on his own he faced the brutality of a British system determined to break him.Two years earlier we had watched as Frank's friend and comrade Michael Gaughan, another Mayo man, had died on hunger strike. Holy SmokeI used to smoke. I was very addicted to it. I smoked everything that was legal. I smoked a pipe for years. I liked the pipe. There is a certain ritual attached to pipe smoking. Filling your pipe requires special skills. It takes time. And care. Fill it too loosely and it will not last long. Too tightly and it will not burn at all. Most pipe smokers had a number of pipes. But there was always a favourite one. My favourites were invariably Kapp and Petersons. Particularly the bendy ones, favoured by Sherlock Holmes. Kapp and Peterson still have  a shop in Dublin. Kapp and Peterson gets honourable mention in Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. In Belfast Miss Morans in Church Lane, which is still doing business, was a favoured supplier of pipes and good tobacco.Pipe tobacco is of course a matter of choice and taste. And addiction. I was inclined towards heavier brands like Condor. The I graduated to War Horse, particularly War Horse plug tobacco. The preparation of this type of pipe filler requires a pen knife for cutting off little slices of tobacco. These were then rubbed between your hands until they were reduced to the desired consistency. This added to the ritual. It was probably theraputic. If thats not a contradiction. Ditto  with the smell of pipe smoke. Back in the day pipe smokers were a fixed presence  in pubs and at most social gatherings. Many people, barely visible in the clouds of smoke, would declare how much they liked the smell. The death of Nora ComiskeyIt was with sadness that I heard of the death last week of Nora Comiskey. Many Dublin republicans and some of us from Belfast and other parts knew Nora over many years. She was a former president and long-time activist in the 1916-1921 Club. This was a unique institution founded in the 1940s whose aim was to try and bring together some of those who fought on the pro and anti- Treaty sides in the Civil War. Many did, including Nora who had been in Fianna Fáil. Its founding charter is the 1916 Proclamation and among its objectives are a commitment to honour those who fought for Irish Freedom and who work for its achievement. It also seeks to contribute to the cause of an Ireland — united, independent and sovereign

"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. 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.

In this episode of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson recounts an adventure involving Mycroft Holmes and a dangerous female spy. The story unfolds with a magician's act, leading to a murder mystery that Holmes and Watson must solve. As they investigate, they uncover the complexities of espionage and deception, ultimately revealing the true identity of the spy and the tragic fate of her twin sister.Most mysteries are solved with clues, but this case hinges on a brilliant illusion—and the one thing that could unravel the greatest magician in the world. Sherlock Holmes cracks the code behind a deadly stage trick that's more than just a gimmick—it's a potential spy hiding in plain sight. If you think you understand magic, think again—Holmes exposes the extraordinary deception that makes espionage possible on the stage.In The Great Gandolfo adventure, you'll discover how duplicate cabinets, twin actresses, and fingerprint analysis combine to reveal the identity of a dangerous spy. Holmes and Watson navigate a labyrinth of stage illusions, murder, and international secrets, revealing that even the most dazzling tricks can conceal deadly truths. You'll break down the scientific fingerprint comparison that cracks the case, witness Holmes's uncanny deduction skills applied to theatrical deception, and learn how spies exploit stagecraft to hide their identities.We break down: how Holmes uses fingerprint evidence to identify the assassin, the secret twin actresses behind the illusion, and the deadly rigged magic show that transforms into a murder scene. You'll hear how Holmes's keen eye uncovers the hidden clues in a stage act, turning illusion into incontrovertible evidence—showcasing his mastery of deduction and forensic investigation. This isn't just a story about magic; it's a lesson in how innovation and attention to detail can reveal truths others overlook.Ignoring these techniques means risking missed clues, wrongful accusations, or worse—failing to stop a killer who manipulates appearances to hide behind a curtain of deception. In a world where secrets can be hidden in plain sight, Holmes's methods offer a blueprint for thinking differently about clues, deception, and danger. This case proves that even in entertainment, truth is often stranger and more dangerous than fiction—and understanding this opens new avenues for solving complex mysteries.Perfect for true crime enthusiasts, magic fans, or anyone fascinated by detective ingenuity—this episode will change how you view illusions and secrets. Whether you're a Sherlock devotee or new to his mysteries, you'll walk away with a new appreciation for the art of deduction and forensic science. Tune in to unlock the secrets behind The Great Gandolfo, where stage tricks become deadly clues in the ultimate battle of wit versus deception.Sherlock Holmes, portrayed by Basil Rathbone, brings over a century of legend to life, utilizing his unrivaled powers of observation to expose the truth hidden beneath layers of illusion. This episode isn't just an adventure—it's a masterclass in detective thinking, perfect for believers in the extraordinary and those eager to see how science and sleight of hand collide to solve crimes. Make no mistake—what looks like magic is often just careful planning, and Holmes shows us how to see through the deception.TakeawaysSherlock Holmes often relies on his brother Mycroft for insights.The character of Mycroft is portrayed as both lazy and brilliant.The investigation revolves around a female spy linked to a magician.Holmes uses deductive reasoning to solve the case.The performance of The Great Gandolfo serves as a crucial plot point.Fingerprint analysis plays a key role in the investigation.Holmes's methods often clash with local law enforcement.The narrative emphasizes the importance of observation and deduction.Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes, mystery, detective, espionage, Gandolfo, adventure, crime, radio drama, classic stories

THE TROJAN HORSE - Ever get that feeling you're being watched? OK- take that feeling and times it by ten. That's what it's like living with Sherlock Holmes.

 "I cultivate a large number of friends" [WIST]  What does it take to build a legacy that lasts nearly a century? Today we're joined by Peter Eckrich and Rob Nunn to discuss their new book, On the Shoulders of Giants. It's a portrait gallery of twenty-one of the influential men and women who founded and fueled the Sherlock Holmes literary scene from its infancy in the 1930s.  We dive into the lives of these bookish, clubbable people, who were all as knowledgeable as they were sociable. Whether you're a lifelong Sherlockian or a newcomer to the Great Game, our conversation takes a fresh look at the "Giants" whose scholarship and camaraderie created the community we know today. Our "Learned Societies" segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities in the second half of April. Then it's a new edition of "Examining the Pictures," with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI. This time, Christian explores Disney's 1986 success, The Great Mouse Detective.  Then the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of On the Shoulders of Giants for the winner.

Ravens get a bad rap in western culture. They're an ominous symbol of death, considered “unclean” by the bible, and star in Edgar Allen Poe's haunting gothic poem, “The Raven.” A group of ravens is called an “unkindness.” What a burn. But host Nate Hegyi is on a mission to show that we should give the raven a bit more credit. It's one of the most intelligent creatures on earth — an animal that can use tools like a chimpanzee, speak like a parrot, do tricks like a dog, and investigate murders like Sherlock Holmes.  So today on the show, another edition of our ongoing series, Holy Scat: raven edition. Featuring Sophie Nilles and Will Geiger. Produced by Nate Hegyi. For a transcript and full list of credits, go to ⁠outsideinradio.org⁠.  SUPPORT Outside/In is made possible with listener support.
