Sherlock & Co. (Goalhanger podcast, 2023–)
The canon retold as a true-crime podcast that Watson makes about his flatmate.
Watson was always a man publishing his friend’s cases for an audience, so give him the medium people publish cases in now.
You want the cases in your ears, free, every week, with a Watson who sounds like he lives now.
What it keeps and what it changes
Keeps: the canon’s plots, retold case by case, and Watson as the narrator.
Changes: the century and the format. It is present-day London, Watson is a former army doctor turned podcaster, and Mrs Hudson is Mariana Ametxazurra.
Whose story is it?
Watson’s, explicitly: he is the host, and Holmes is his subject.
How much time does it ask?
Free, with new episodes still arriving; Apple Podcasts lists more than 160. A paid membership offers ad-free and early episodes.
Created and written by Joel Emery; Paul Waggott is Watson and Harry Attwell is Holmes.
