Bill from Minnesota ,

Wonderful podcast

Hello Gentlemen. I stumbled upon your podcast by accident. I’m not even sure where I made the discovery, but I immediately searched for, found, and followed. I’ve only listened to the first two episodes, but thoroughly enjoy. I look forward to listening to all your episodes.

I have loved the Sherlock Holmes stories for decades. And I was introduced to the Granada series and Jeremy Brett on PBS many years ago. I’m happy to say I own the complete series on dvd.

Living on a Thin Line ,

Simply the Best

By far this is one of the best Sherlock Holmes podcasts available. Keep up the good works lads!

April L… ,

I’ve missed you sooo much!!!

Glad you are still here!
