“researches which have a medico-criminal aspect” [DYIN]
This month, the Morley-Montgomery Award brings us up to the year 2006, when Harold Billings pulled out some serious research originating in Edinburgh.
His article “The Materia Medica of Sherlock Holmes” in Vol. 56, No. 3 of The Baker Street Journal helps us understand the sources Holmes may have used for his non-traditional education in the medical field. It may be more than just a Trifle.
If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your inquiry on the show, we’ll send you a thank you gift.
There’s a new “Trifling Trifles” episode out — short-form content that doesn’t warrant a full episode. We release these at the beginning of every month. The latest episode is “for those with ears attuned to catch the distant view-halloo!” This is a benefit exclusively for our paying subscribers.
Our Merch Store is now open: Trifles mugs, notepads, and oval stickers can be yours (or someone else’s, if you’d like to make it a gift). Start shopping today.
Leave Trifles a five-star rating on Apple Podcasts and Spotify; listen to this episode here or wherever you get podcasts
