Episode 02: Wessex Press

In this episode, we interview Steve Doyle and Mark Gagen, both members of the Baker Street Irregulars who run the very successful Wessex Press. You'll hear us speak with this very dedicated team about their publishing experience and how they go about planning and executing some very successful Sherlockian events. We also have our first audio comment from John Pforr, BSI (thanks, John!) and Burt reads a Gas Lamp from an old issue of the Baker Street Journal.
