Latest Episodes

Johanna Draper Carlson joins the bull pup regulars to get into Mycroft Holmes's latest appearance and we liked the episode so much that there was even less to talk about in all the enjoyment.

This week, we have special guests Greg Sullivan and Naching Kassa joining us to discuss the original story of "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches" before we get into the final chapter of the Sherlock & Co. adaptation of same.

Content Warning: Someone is not having fun at the midpoint listening to Sherlock & Co's adaptation of "Copper Beeches." It might even be multiple someones. Positivity-requiring listeners are cautioned to listen to this one with care.

Our review of the first episode of Sherlock & Co.'s "Copper Beeches" adaptation brings questions: Do we love this story too much to be fair?

    It’s a great way to start every Monday morning. I enjoy Brad’s take on the most important person in the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Paul Thomas Miller is hilarious and his view of animals in the Canon shouldn’t be missed.
