My Interview on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere!

 My Interview on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere!

 

This past week, my mother and I were interviewed for the podcast I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere to discuss The Autistic Sleuth!  Please listen to it here– we had a great conversation with our excellent hosts, Scott Monty and Burt Wolder.  

 

I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere describes itself as follows:

 

I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere is the first and largest podcast for Sherlock Holems fans, beginning its 18th season in January 2024.

It’s an hour-long interview show, with news, discussion, and a listener-participation quiz — something like a cross between Fresh Air and Car Talk, but we speak with interesting people doing things in the world of Sherlock Holmes. Authors, editors, producers, playwrights, movie stars, and generally clubbable people.

We’re also a destination for news and information about Sherlock Holmes, published as a text-based newsletter. We’ve been publishing (ir)regularly since 2005.

New episodes air on the 15th and 30th of every month. And occasionally, we have bonus content for our paying subscribers.

 

And if you become a paying subscriber, you can gain access to an extra discussion with me!

 

There are just a few days left on The Autistic Sleuth Kickstarter– please take a look!
