I Grok Sherlock

Until you hear us again for Hound of the Baskervilles, Happy Listening, Grokkers!

We pick up where Part 1 left off. Now we dive into pastiches and adaptations (and you all know what a difficult time Mike and Geordie have coming up with anything to say about film and TV!) More great stuff from our guests Peggy Perdue and Matt Burke. With a musical finale!

Here we go! Part 1 of what will surely a very long Reichenbach fall indeed! Thanks to our special guests Peggy Perdue and Matt Burke who bring welcome new voices to this, part one of the final episode of Season 2. Happy listening!

Mike presents his awesome “Sherlock Noir” pastiche to the Bootmakers of Toronto at their Feb. 24, 2018 meeting. Hear Holmes as you’ve never heard him before in this wonderful re-imagining complete with stoic self-sacrifice and peppery jive. Play it again, Sarasate.

It’s our first social distancing episode, recorded with Zoom so’s we don’t infect each other with the Tapanuli Fever. Is Percy Phelps worthy of the position he’s been given?

Consider yourselves lucky we didn’t […]

This month’s footnote is an early 2019 presentation to the Bootmakers of Toronto by Mimi Okabe, a PhD in Comparative Literature at the University of Alberta, where in 2017 she designed and taught her dream course, “Sherlock Holmes and the Transcultural Imagination.” The full title of Dr. Okabe’s paper is “From Wiggins and Beyond: Representations […]

Once more the game is a footnote. Hartley Nathan presents his paper – Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper – to the Bootmakers of Toronto at their April 13, 2019 meeting. The talk speaks for itself! Happy Grokking.

Whew! That’s a lotta grokking. Mike and Geordie hold forth on The Resident Patient. AND we edited out the parts that seemed to go long. Discussions of: The Who (in 2019), Nosferatu (1922), and Sir William Osler (1849-1919) are entirely optional, but you won’t know they’ve started until after it’s too late. You have been […]
