Sherlock & Co.

Sherlock & Co. reimagines and retells Arthur Conan Doyle's famous Sherlock Holmes mysteries. These updated versions of the British writer's stories are sympathetic to the classics. But the podcast offers audiences an exciting spin on the familiar tales.

Dr. John Hamish Watson, voiced by actor Paul Waggott, tells the story in each episode. In these adaptations, Watson is the host of a podcast. He shares the true crime mysteries he encounters with his rather unusual and quirky friend. Sherlock Holmes, a consulting detective, is a complex character. His gift for problem-solving is in high demand, so he is often asked to consult on many curious cases.

The podcast episode names come from the titles of the original Holmes stories. Listeners may recognize "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle," "The Red-Headed League," and "Silver Blaze." Watson tells "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" across episodes twelve and thirteen.

This story describes a priceless blue gemstone that appears to cause bad luck for its owners. Then, the stone disappears. The Chinese delegates expect its return, so Holmes and Watson step in. The high-security gemstone then reappears in the most unlikely location. Can Holmes and Watson crack this perplexing case?

Joel Emery writes this inventive and often funny program. High-quality sound effects and music complement the well-rounded narratives, enhancing the show's atmosphere. Professional actors bring the characters to life. For example, Harry Attwell voices Holmes, and Marta Da Silva voices Mariana Ametxazurra. The show's high production standards led to Sherlock & Co. winning the Audio Drama category of the 2023 Pod Bible Listener Polls.

This podcast pays homage to Holmes, Doyle's most famous hero. Fans of the celebrated original works may find these stories intriguing and delightful. The familiar characters, nostalgic narratives, and modern touches will likely captivate listeners. A new episode of Sherlock & Co. is available every Tuesday.
