Hold onto your socks, lads, we're getting all intellectual. On this episode, Rachael and Ansel read the first part of How Sherlock Pulled the Trick by Brian McCuskey. The book is - among other things - an examination of how Doyle's spiritualist and pseudoscientific beliefs, far from being separate from Sherlock Holmes, are inextricably tied to him.
Join us for a rollicking discussion of Doyle's Spiritualist Stank™, late Victorian religious turmoil, and the Mean Girls of the early evolutionary theory debate scene.

Editor's Note: Oops the cat fountain was left on for the first 20 minutes of the recording before the hosts noticed, sorry if it makes you have to pee.
Ready for some horsing around? Because it's time for another Sherlock Says! This time, Rachael and Ansel are joined by Mick Sharpe to discuss The Adventure of Silver Blaze, a story that's shockingly not as racist as it could have been.
Topics include incorrect places to keep hobby knives, dog-inflicted injuries, and mysteriously disappearing wind. Also notch up the "Holmes Gremlin" counter by one, folks playing along at home.

Your Stormy Petrels of Podcasting fly home to roost once again! Rachael and Ansel are joined by special guest Brian to discuss The Adventure of the Reigate Squire. No sorry, I mean The Adventure of the Reigate Squires. Or..... uh.... The Adventure of the Reigate Puzzle? Which is it, Arthur???
Discussion topics include the care and handling of a delicate Holmes, the finest brandies to smoke while staring at your piles of weaponry, and proper names to call your servants (protip: try "you").
Editor's Note: Apologies for the rough audio on this one, a microphone setting got messed up during recording. I did what I could.
Check out Brian's stuff!

In this episode of Sherlock Says, Rachael and Ansel are joined by Katharin to discuss The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, better known as that one they pulled from print because it was too violent. And frankly, I am personally offended by the rough handling of a rented rowboat, so that reputation is entirely deserved. Oh, and the ear thing too I guess.
Also, I can't believe it!!!! He did it again!!!!!! It's a Brain Fever Hat Trick!!!!!! Hey Arthur, get a new job!!!!!!!

God this is a long one, like wow, sorry about this. There's just too much gay about The Sign of the Four and we can't help ourselves. Also this book sucks, unrelated to all that.
Take a shot because we said Homosocial again!

In this episode, Rachael and Ansel discuss the second entry in the Holmes canon and the second Holmes novel, The Sign of the Four. Spoiler alert: it's a bad book. It's a racist and misogynist book. But it's also the gayest book and that's a tune we can all dance to. So buckle up and try not to die of a sudden shock or bran fever or however these goddamn Victorians killed off ancillary characters to make mysteries harder to solve!
