  • Great shows

    This podcast’s title and feed seem a little off, somehow Boston Blackie is currently Gregory Hood, and was previously Sherlock Holmes. But I can’t seriously complain because these episodes are good quality.

  • Hello GW. Fabulous to find you here.

    aunty here. So thrilled I found your channel while browsing podcasts.

    In my membership with audible, I have had the joy of listening to many of the novels you have narrated.

    You actually tell the story and bring it to life, rather than simply read the book. Your Sherlock productions are brilliant. Thank you for your excellent work.
