  • Excellent subject matter

    The content is mostly excellent, as it is based on the Sherlock Holmes stories, read aloud. That said, it is amateurishly done. For instance, the first narrator fails to correctly pronounce common words, such as melancholy and determined. The series is rife with mispronunciations. The commentary is all over the place. In some cases, the stories are expanded upon and intelligently discussed. In others, misogyny is assumed and found, where little to none actually exists within the stories, e... more

  • Love this!

    This podcast is just what I was looking for after finishing All About Agatha. I also love that you can listen to each story and then listen to the two hosts discuss them. Very intelligent and entertaining—highly recommended!

  • Good but poor analysis

    I love Sherlock Holmes, and I do enjoy this podcast. Except when they bungle themes. For example, much of what they say about ACD’s statements about imperialism are oversimplified. They Ali talk about period typical racism like it’s a surprise. It’s nineteenth century literature, you expect some weird racism. This author is actually somewhat better about it than a lot of them, and all the villains are caricatures because that’s his entire writing style.

  • Amazing

    This podcast is exactly what I’ve wanted. While there are incredible and prolific feminine voices, men continue to dominate the Sherlock Holmes discourse. These two scholars are amazing and I can’t wait to see where this project goes!

  • treat for the (non-severed) ears

    This podcast is a delightful dive into the ACD canon and beyond. Im really enjoying Sarah and Marisa's insights into each story, especially what they reveal about the Doyle's perspectives and the time period. As a recent but enthusiastic Holmes fan, I am really appreciating how they pick it apart, while coming from a place of being fans themselves. Their insights challenge my own perceptions and have consistently given me a new insight into the stories. I'm also appreciating the case file eps an... more
