The Love Life of Sherlock Holmes
“any emotion akin to love” [SCAN]
Sherlock Holmes doesn't seem to have a high opinion of women, although he does a fine job of understanding them when it comes to their expressions, reactions, and motivations. Irene Adler aside, what can we infer about the love life of Sherlock Holmes?
It's a question that Trevor Hall raised in Sherlock Holmes: Ten Literary Studies, and it's the last in a series of Masters Classes about his essays. It's just a Trifle.

Premonitions
“a feeling of vague expectancy” [LAST]
"Beware the Ides of March." So went the warning from the soothsayer to the title character in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
But when it comes to the Sherlock Holmes canon, where do we find feelings of foreboding? Who had premonitions and what happened as a result? It's just a Trifle.

Hobbies in the Canon
“that is my special hobby” [HOUN]
We all have hobbies. Indeed, our interest in Sherlock Holmes is a perfect example.
What do we know about hobbies and hobbyists in the Canon? There are those who have professional hobbies and personal hobbies, and then there's the story about how Sherlock Holmes's hobby led to his profession. It's just a Trifle.

Sleepless in Baker Street
“I found myself in dream-land” [SIGN]
Regular sleep patterns seem to be a rarity in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Watson dozed off while Holmes remained vigilant or was prevented from sleeping by something he saw; various clients described something disturbing their sleep.
Such instances of sleepless days and nights, rude awakenings, and other sleep-related issues give us plenty somnia interrupta examples to discuss in the Canon. It's just a Trifle.

Real Life Inspirations: A Scandal in Bohemia
“the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own” [SCAN]
We're treated to a variety of colorful characters in the Sherlock Holmes canon. Some are figments of Conan Doyle's imagination while others are dangerously close to historical figures.
We took a look at a few names in "A Scandal in Bohmeia" and made some educated guesses about who or what was behind people like the Atkinson brothers, the King of Bohemia, and yes, Irene Adler. It's just a Trifle.

The Erudition of Sherlock Holmes
“Your merits should be publicly recognized.” [STUD]
We continue with our monthly series of Masters Class episodes, going back to Trevor Hall's Sherlock Holmes: Ten Literary Studies.
In this case, we look at Sherlock Holmes's skill in his chosen line of work. What was he good at and how did he come by these talents. Certainly some were hereditary, but others required study. It's just a Trifle.

Customer Reviews
I thought I was the only one…
Seriously thought I was the only one who thought there should be a podcast devoted to the minutiae of Sherlock Holmes. Then I discovered this pod last month and it is perfect. And I have 5 YEARS of eps to enjoy. Started at the beginning and have listened to the first 18-19 eps. Have also caught the new eps (290-294). I cannot sing the praises of this show enough.
Love the podcast..even love their commercials!
Couldn't ask for more...well, yes I could.
For those that feel the same, check out their podcast, "I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere."
So excited to have found Trifles, after discovering IHOSE.
Thank you!! You both are the best!!
Fun!
What a fun way to immerse yourself in the Sherlock universe! I would call myself a casual fan of the books, but this podcast has really motivated me to keep diving deeper into more of the stories.
