In the previous episode of the show, you heard us get into some pretty interesting topics with Mike Whelan, head of the Baker Street Irregulars. We continue in this vein in Part 2, talking about the BSI Trust, the BSI Weekend in much greater detail, the Dr. Watson Fund, and a very exciting contest that you can participate in!

Always entertaining and informative. I just made a contribution through ChipIn. I hope other listeners will support your marvelous efforts.
Thanks also for the breaking news on your blog. Perhaps next year we can have giant rat instead of the usual Christmas goose. Yummy!
