Our Editor's Take

The Sherlock Holmes podcast is an audio dramatization of books featuring the eponymous detective. Craig Hart wrote the adaptations. The voice actors include RJ Bayley as Holmes and A.W. Miller as Dr. Watson.

Sherlock Holmes superfans and new listeners can enjoy this fiction podcast. When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published A Study in Scarlet in 1887, he introduced the world to Holmes. A cocaine addict with terrible social skills, Holmes was also a genius. He used deduction, inference, and observation to solve impossible cases. His investigative flair often made police seem incompetent. Holmes had a friend in John Watson, a medical man and biographer. There have been dozens of screen adaptations of Doyle's short stories and books. These are a testament to the detective's popularity. Besides the four novels featuring Holmes, there are 56 short stories.

The podcast adapts two of Doyle's favorites to the audio format. In "The Speckled Band," Helen Stoner comes to Holmes with a strange story. She has recently lost a sister under mysterious circumstances. Doctors could never establish a cause of death, but it was sudden and unexpected. After Helen gets engaged, she worries that she will die before her wedding takes place. The tale features wild animals and a threatening stepfather.

In "A Royal Scandal," Holmes meets Irene Adler, one of the most intriguing characters in Sherlock Holmes. When they first meet, Adler is wearing no clothes. As a result, Holmes' deductive powers are useless. He has to use other tools in his arsenal to solve the mystery. Adler soon proves herself to be one of his greatest and most respected opponents.

Sherlock Holmes is a thrilling podcast for people who love the detective's stories. The production is excellent. The acting, sound effects, and music add to the mood of the stories. Listeners can appreciate Hart's work adapting the stories to the audio format. The show is a great way to introduce listeners to one of literature's favorite characters.
