2.07: Mrs Sherlock Holmes (with David Hoffman Interview)
On this episode, we see some pretty different sides of the Time Team as they try to stop Rittenhouse from attacking the Suffragette movement. We discuss Wyatt's feelings over Lucy and Flynn, Rufus' fear of Jiya's visions, and Emma's backstory and turn helping the team for this episode.
Writer of the episode, David Hoffman, also stops by the pod to talk about how he came about writing this episode, how he was inspired to write Grace Humiston, Emma's backstory, and a whole lot more!
In the History Minute, Heather covers the history of Grace Humiston and Alice Paul.
NOTE: We had some pretty major difficulties recording this episode, so forgive us if things sound a little weird.

Customer Reviews
Would def recommend to fans!
If you like Timeless you will really like this pod. The hosts provide funny, relatable commentary, while also providing in depth thoughts. If you like history, they also have a segment talking about the true events each episode is based on. The audio isn’t great, but it isn’t un-listenable. Overall a fun, entertaining podcast! Looking forward to future episodes!
