Episode 344: The Lasting Impact of Sherlock

“thinking the business over, and trying to analyze my impressions” [YELL]


One of the wonders of our Sherlockian hobby is that we welcome people of all experiences and all ages. It's never too late to get involved, nor is there a single path to finding an interest in Sherlock Holmes.
