GSHD 2 Update: Team Warner Bros Sherlock’s Captain Announced

The Always 1895 Press Syndicate, reporting once again on the Great Sherlock Holmes Debate 2 (Sunday March 18, 2012), is delighted to announce that a team captain has been chosen for the Guy Ritchie Sherlock side (WB Sherlock): the formidable Burt Wolder, all around Sherlockian expert and co-host of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere. Mr Wolder is a member of the Baker Street Irregulars (“The Third Pillar from the Left”) as well as belonging to the venerable Speckled Band of Boston, Mrs. Hudson’s Cliffdwellers of New Jersey and more.

It is highly advisable in this reporter’s opinion that Team BBC Sherlock not only bring their ‘A-game’ on March 18th but prepare for a charge of Sherlockian erudition led by Mr Wolder and Team WB Sherlock that will take more than a batch of Cumberbunnies to hold back! 


[“At the Lyceum Theatre the crowds were already thick at the side-entrances….We had hardly reached the third pillar, which was our rendezvous, before a small, dark, brisk man in the dress of a coachman accosted us.”]

Many of you are familiar with Burt Wolder, or at least the voice of Burt Wolder, via the Sherlockian podcast he co-hosts with Scott Monty I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere. Launched in June of 2007, Wolder and Monty were arguably the first internet-savy Sherlockians to successfully harness the power of the still novel ‘podcast’ format. Five years and 38 terrific episodes later, I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere has featured interviews with Leslie S. Klinger, Jon Lellenberg, Peter Blau, Michael Whelan (current ‘Wiggins’ of the BSI), Jerry Margolin, Otto Penzler, Steven Doyle, to name but a few.

While the episodes are both entertaining and edifying in themselves, I firmly believe that to Sherlockian historians of the future, these podcasts (in their original audio format and/or as transcriptions) will act as useful historical documents and the voices of Burt Wolder and Scott Monty will serve as moderators to an invaluable audio archive of the candid thoughts and opinions of important Sherlockians long departed from this mortal coil.
