“Holmes’ triumphant expression and the ring of his voice” [STUD]

Regular listeners know that when we have an opportunity to speak with other individuals involved in audio productions, we jump at the chance. For our 300th episode, we thought it was appropriate to speak to none other than an audio Sherlock Holmes.

In this case, that means in the form of the detective from the Sherlock & Co. podcast, as portrayed by Harry Attwell.

While we previously spoke to writer Joel Emery about the show on Episode 275 (link in the notes below), the podcast has taken on an even greater life with each successive episode over the last year. To hear Harry talk about his background, motivations, and inspiration in this episode provides even greater insight into this remarkable production.

Harry shares tales from his early days in the theater, describes a tattoo he received as a live art installment, discusses his interpretation of Sherlock Holmes (and reveals the role that inspired it), comments on one of his signature phrases, and much, much more.

Madeline Quiñones is back with another installment of "A Chance of Listening," her review of Sherlockian podcasts. And of course we have a Canonical Couplet quiz for you to test your Sherlockian knowledge. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a prize from our vaults. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by December 14, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT. All listeners are eligible to play.
