Decades after a simpler, four-stop Texas road trip set the precedent, our intrepid investigators clocked 2,414 miles in heat of the last week of August, all to prove that the Great Detective’s influence knows no borders. </p><p>You’ll hear how they bridged the gap between the dusty plains and the foggy streets of London, and found Holmesian echoes in the most unexpected places. It’s all about imagination, and how their “<b>Great Sherlockian Whimsical Tour II</b>” transformed the American Southwest into a sprawling map of Victorian mystery.</p><p>We also give you a glimpse of Sherlockian society activities, this time in the first half of February in "The Learned Societies" segment. Then we announce an exciting new segment launching in 2026, and the Canonical Couplet quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a prize from the IHOSE vaults for the winner.

It’s usually a comic, theatrical retelling of a fairy tale — like Cinderella or Aladdin — with slapstick for the kids, cheeky innuendo for the adults, and a cast that includes a campy "Dame" (a man in an over-the-top dress). </p><p>Now Holmes, Watson, and the world of 221B have been lovingly added to the panto tradition in <i><a href="https://www.birmingham-rep.co.uk/whats-on/sherlock-holmes-and-the-12-days-of-christmas/" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas</a></i>, playing through January 18, 2026, at England’s Birmingham Rep. The show is also a genuine whodunnit: West End stars are being murdered in mid performance. Can Sherlock Holmes solve the case?</p><p>It’s all the work of our guests <b>Humphrey Ker</b> and <b>David Reed</b>, writers and stars whose love of the Victorian Age, history, and classic literature has infused almost twenty years of collaboration. You’ll hear about their work creating radio plays for the BBC, stage shows for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and their adventures as two-thirds of the comedy troupe “The Penny Dreadfuls.” </p><p>You’ll also learn how <i><b>Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas</b></i> came about, and how it came to inspire new songs by <b>Tim Rice</b> and <b>Andrew Lloyd Webber</b> — creators of some of the most enduring musicals in history.</p><p>Then it’s on to our review of Sherlockian society activities in the second half of January in "The Learned Societies" segment. The remarkable Madeline Quinones caps her series of Holmesian podcast reviews with her final report in “A Chance of Listening,” with our thanks and admiration. And the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a prize from the IHOSE vaults for the winner.

Our conversation sheds light on what might be lost and gained when the world’s greatest detective steps into the shadows of Conan Doyle’s darker imagination — and why these stories continue to inspire new interpretations more than a century later.</p><p>Once again, we give you a glimpse of Sherlockian society activities, this time in the second half of December in "The Learned Societies" segment.

He's best known for his 1974 best-selling novel, <a href="https://amzn.to/4n1U6wc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>The Seven-Per-Cent Solution</em></strong></a>, which revitalized Sherlock Holmes for a new generation of readers. His other Holmes novels, including <a href="https://amzn.to/4n1U9Io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>The West End Horror</em></strong></a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/3HOA35y" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>The Canary Trainer</em></strong></a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/4oY6LC8" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>The Adventure of the Peculiar Protocols</em></strong></a>, and <a href="https://amzn.to/4oW8xUt" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>The Return of the Pharaoh</em></strong></a>, and <a href="https://amzn.to/4n6m8Xt" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong><em>Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram From Hell</em></strong></a> have cemented his place as a celebrated perpetuator of Watson’s reports. </p><p>Beyond his literary achievements, Nick is a prolific screenwriter and director, credited with directing the iconic films <i>Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan</i> and <i>Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country</i>. He also directed the landmark television movie <i>The Day After</i>, which remains one of the most-watched television films ever made.</p><p>Nick's latest novel is <i><b><a href="https://amzn.to/3UPBEej" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes and the Real Thing</a></b></i>. In the book, Holmes and Watson are drawn into a bizarre and deadly case set in the cutthroat world of art. The mystery begins with a seemingly mundane complaint from a landlady about her artist tenant, but quickly escalates as corpses begin to appear. The pair navigate a fascinating cast of characters — including an artist, his mistress, and his dealer — to discover what makes a work of art worth killing for. </p><p>Join our wide-ranging discussion, which touches, in this age of artificial intelligence, on what makes one work genuine and another just a clever forgery.</p><p>Then we look ahead to Sherlockian gatherings for the last half of October in "The Learned Societies" segment. Madeline Quiñones is back with "A Chance of Listening," bringing us an introduction to her own show, <i>Dynamics of a Podcast</i>, the only podcast dedicated to Professor James Moriarty, archnemesis of Sherlock Holmes. The Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of Nick's new book for the winner.

The world of Baker Street is fun, so much so that some adults still extend the Great Detective's career with their own stories. </p><p>Many adults also enjoy LEGO as a nostalgic, relaxing, and creative outlet. That’s why we were eager to talk to LEGO Group Design Master Antica Bracanov and Graphic Designer Crisy Dyment about their creation of the LEGO Sherlock Holmes Book Nook. </p><p>Joining us from LEGO’s offices in Billund, Denmark, Antica and Crisy take us through the concept, the process, and the community of designers, engineers, and model-makers who brought it to life. You’ll hear how the key moments and objects Sherlock Holmes fans will recognize were selected, and how they were adapted to fit LEGO’s style and humor. You’ll find there are some self-described “Sherlock Holmes nerds” on the LEGO team, too.</p><p>Speaking of Sherlockian nerds (guilty), we share upcoming events for the first half of September in our "<b>The Learned Societies</b>" segment.

They include stories and novels set in any era, any place, and any time. They all bring the Great Detective to new audiences — so how do you go about selecting (just) fifty-two to explore? Join our conversation with Paul Bishop as we explore his new book, <b><i><a href="https://amzn.to/3Ixva0x" target="_blank">52 Weeks | 52 Sherlock Holmes Stories</a></i></b>. Paul is the author of 15 novels and numerous TV and film scripts — and also a 35-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department.</p><p>Paul’s new book is a selection of Sherlockian pastiches chosen and recommended by the individual essay writers themselves. Beyond the plots and author bios, Paul’s writers give personal perspectives on why these stories were important to them, and the connection Sherlock Holmes has played in their lives. </p><p>Paul also discusses his writing career, which spans multiple genres including screenplays, westerns and other novels. He discusses his journey as an author, and how storytelling has shaped his life. We also talk about connecting with fellow writers, and the remarkable variety of people drawn to Sherlock Holmes.</p><p>Some of those remarkable people will be gathering in person and virtually in the weeks ahead, so you will want to hear about August events in “<b>The Learned Societies</b>” segment. Madeline Quiñones is back with “<b>A Chance of Listening</b>,” and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with <b>a copy of Paul's book </b>for the winner.

King six years to find a publisher for her first book, but it was worth the wait. She won the Edgar in 1994 for Best First Novel with <i>A Grave Talent</i>, which launched her Kate Martinelli series, set in San Francisco. That same year, <i>The Bee-Keeper’s Apprentice</i> introduced the impressive, young Mary Russell, who would meet and eventually marry the retired Sherlock Holmes — “the least marriageable man I knew,” according to Mary, in 1921.</p><p>Since then, Russell and Holmes have traveled the world in eighteen novels, finding mystery and adventure everywhere from the English countryside to Palestine to California. Along the way, Mary’s partnership with Holmes has evolved, usually in plots that mix real events with suspenseful intrigue. </p><p>Now <i>Knave of Diamonds</i>, the nineteenth book in the series, brings Mary a case not even Sherlock Holmes could solve: the very real theft of the Irish Crown Jewels from Dublin Castle years before. It comes with the sudden return of Mary’s unprincipled Uncle Jake, traveling on a cloud of fabrications and falsehoods.</p><p>Laurie R. King was named a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master in 2022. Join us for a conversation about the Irish Crown Jewels, Laurie’s approach to storytelling, Mary’s background and her conflicting loyalties, and much more.</p><p>So you can see what’s coming, we share the first half of August in “<b>The Learned Societies</b>” segment. Madeline Quiñones is back with “<b>A Chance of Listening</b>,” and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with <b>a signed copy of <i>Knave of Diamonds</i></b> for the winner.
