Sherlock Says

This week on Sherlock Says, we gear up for a review of Murder by Decree (1979) by letting Rachael loose on the whole Jack the Ripper milieu for like two whole hours. There's a lot to be said, and now's as good a time as any to say it. We will be on a roughly month long hiatus after this episode because Ansel is getting married, so we'll see you lovely folks around Halloween! Content...

Welcome back to Sherlock Says! This week, your hosts Ansel and Rachael are joined by streamer and performer Eiledon to discuss The Adventure of the Six Napoleons , a well-known story that was in Doyle's personal top 10 for little discernible reason because it kinda sucks.

Well, we did the con and it was fun, but we failed to record the audio correctly (we tried!) so this was what we got. It's going up for archival and schedule keeping purposes, but it's borderline unlistenable so don't feel the need to push through if it makes your ears bleed. Speaking of schedules, the aforesaid con has upset schedules! We'll be pushing our next episode back a...
