The 1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle podcast retells memories and adventures. Host Jon Hagadorn narrates different tales each week from the prolific writer. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the iconic character of Sherlock Holmes in the 1880s. He wrote about Holmes' many escapades with his famous partner, Dr. Watson. Jon shares both The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Doyle's other works of fiction.
One episode is "THE WALDHAUSEN and THE FIELD BAZAAR STORIES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES". Graham Armitage, an English star of TV, film, and stage, stars as Holmes. Playing Watson is Kerry Jordan, a popular TV and radio actor from South Africa. Podcast listeners immediately hear a conversation between Holmes and Watson. They are investigating a snake that appears to be dead. Holmes mentions how snakes can lower their pulses during hibernation. He wants to discuss with Professor Waldhausen whether humans can do the same. An eerie theme tune then plays, followed by a narrator setting the scene for the story. What does this Sherlock Holmes mystery have to do with a hibernating snake? Will Holmes and Watson be able to solve it?
"THE SINGULAR AFFAIR OF THE BACONIAN CIPHER" is a tale of escape and suspense. In this podcast episode, Watson is sharing a story with a friend on a summer's evening. The account starts with an exhausted Holmes after a busy year of detective work. The pair decide to go on holiday, where they enjoy a night at the opera. Everything changes when a guest reveals the opera singer is a spy and under arrest. What starts as a relaxing getaway becomes another mystery for Holmes and Watson to solve.
The 1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle podcast is great for fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his work. Host Jon finds and shares stories from throughout history. Some recordings do have inferior sound quality due to technology from the time. Yet, the stories are still classic Doyle tales filled with excitement and suspense. New podcast episodes arrive Sundays.
