Without a question, Sherlock Holmes was a master of his craft.
When we look at his motivations for pursuing his career—at least on
the surface—he seems like he's all business.
And yet, we have glimpses of Holmes over the course of his
career when he waxes a bit more philosophical. David Stuart Davies'
column "A Great Heart" in the latest issue of Sherlock Holmes
Magazine got us thinking about it. And it's just a
Trifle.
If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us
know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your idea on the
air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies.

You know the plots, but what about the minutiae? We delve into the Sherlock Holmes stories and provide answers to questions that arise, clarify muddy details, and look into some of the period terminology in this weekly podcast.
