    E92 Sherlock Says: [Salacious Trumpet Noise]

    Welcome back from a longer break than we, Sherlock Says, anticipated! Your hosts Ansel and Rachael return with a vengeance to play the Frogwares video game Sherlock Holmes: Year One, a video game mostly notable for an unnecessary open world, a dumb ghost companion, and the time you dress up a balloon as a sexy lady elephant in order to lure a different elephant into his execution by hanging. At least that's what I'll remember. Support the Twin Cities as we fight on the front line in the war against fascism! https://www.standwithminnesota.com/ Some links discussed in the opening of the episode: https://www.miracmn.com/ https://monarcamn.org/ https://haumc.org/social-justice/ https://www.powwowgrounds.com/contact https://sourcemn.org/get-involved/ Contact the pod!

    E91 Sherlok Says: Please, Mr. del Toro!

    Look out, Sherlock Says is going back to the Holmes at 3 AM for more Hound. This time, it's the Granada version with Our Boy Jeremy. Unfortunately, they didn't have the juice this time, but we have an idea who might... NOTE: Sherlock Says is going on a brief holiday break after this episode! We'll be back in mid-to-late January with an episode about the Frogwares game Sherlock Holmes: Year One. Contact the pod!

    E90 Sherlock Says: FREUD! (Part 2)

    Damn, we might have an all-new highest scorer on the HOUND scale, displacing the previous champion, the inimitable [DATA NOT FOUND].

    E89 Sherlock Says: FREUD! (Part 1)

    Hold your horses on those cocaine-bottles, folks, it's time for Sherlock Says! This week, your hosts Ansel and Rachael are joined by friend of the pod John Bode to discuss The Seven-Per-Cent Solution by Nicholas Meyer! It's the book brave enough to ask the big questions, like "what if the Final Problem was actually written as a cover for Holmes going into addiction therapy with Sigmund Freud?" which is more a long question than a big one, admittedly. It's a fun one though! Contact the pod! Linktree at: https://linktr.ee/sherlocksayspod?fbclid=PAAaalIOau9IFlX3ixKFo3lsvmq6U1pYn8m3cf7N6aOqkqUGCljCO0R00KZ3E

    Welcome back to Sherlock Says! This week, your hosts Rachael and Ansel read Roger Zelazny's novel, A Night in the Lonesome October, a delightfully Halloweeny tale of magical mystery narrated by [checks notes] Jack the Ripper's dog?

    E86 Sherlock Says: Our Irregular Programming

    Listen, you batch of street ruffians hanging out on the stoop across from this podcast. I'm going to blackmail you into a job: listening to this week's Sherlock Says. Rachael and Ansel are here discussing The Irregulars, or, what it would be like if the creative teams behind Disney's Descendants and that one horrible TV adaptation of Discworld's City Watch series did a fusion dance then started failing to write Sherlock Holmes fanfic.

    E85 Sherlock Says: Bones, My Dear Watson

    Your podcast addiction has gotten out of hand, listeners. Sherlock Says is here to be your designated sober companion. Your hosts Rachael and Ansel are joined by local thespian Taelin Gore to discuss season 1 of the CBS mystery series Elementary, the first show brave enough to ask the question "What if Watson was Lucy Liu?" Honestly, anything it does, Bones does better. Check out Taelin in Cabaret! https://www.facebook.com/OrthogonalProductions https://www.facebook.com/people/Thin-Air-Theatre/61550913847535/ Contact the pod!
