"I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere" [GREE]

For Sherlockians who have a keen interest in the appearance of Sherlock Holmes in popular culture, literature, news or any other day-to-day occurrence, you're probably familiar with that now-famous phrase:

"I hear of Sherlock everywhere since you became his chronicler."

That shot-heard-round-the-world was the first thing that Mycroft Holmes uttered in the Canon, and they were of course directed to Dr. Watson.

Well, I've got my own version - let's call it a shot-heard-round-the-blogosphere. That survey that many of you were kind enough to participate in showed me that 60% of the respondents would be interested in one way or another, so I went right ahead with my idea.

I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere, the podcast for devotees of Sherlock Holmes, was officially launched on June 14, 2007, co-hosted by Scott Monty and Burt Wolder.

Twice a month, Burt and I will be airing a show that is comprised of lively discussion, interviews, storytelling, history, event coverage and whatever else comes to mind. Think of it as talk radio for Sherlockians. But our programming isn't pre-ordained - we want to hear from you to give us suggestions, tell us where to improve or comment on shows.

We've got a dedicated call-in line where you can leave a message: +1 774 221-7323, or 774-221-READ. You can also email us at comment [at] ihearofsherlock [dot] com.

I hope you'll join us for a listen. Here's a quick intro as to what a podcast is and how to get started. The game's afoot!
