However Improbable is a podcast book club narrating and discussing the great detective. Along with co-host Marisa, I lead our listeners in revisiting Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic tales. We uniquely read them in chronological order rather than by publication date. Every other week, we present a fresh new recording of Holmes and Watson’s adventures, and then delve into the story, its history and politics, adaptations, and why we’re still so captivated by the detective and his good doctor. Holmes himself famously said that there’s nothing new under the sun—but we’re willing to give him a run for his money. https://www.howeverimprobablepodcast.com
