Baker Street Babes is an-all female Sherlockian group [1] who host the web's first all-female Sherlock Holmes podcast. [1] There are eleven members of the group, including Edgar Award-nominated author Lyndsay Faye, [2] a collective devoid of a president or a leader. [3] They consider themselves "a bridge between older Sherlockians and young, tech-savvy enthusiasts" [4] and they have been described as being "at the center of online Sherlock fandom." [5]
The various members of the group generate a podcast, blog, and Tumblr. [6]
Podcast
The podcast began in May 2011 [1] and initially consisted of Kristina Manente, [6] Ardy from Germany and Katherine from England. [7] The group has since added eight other members from various locations around the world including United States and France. [7]
There have been 85 episodes as of the end of 2018 [8] covering various aspects of Sherlockiana and Sherlock fandom including interviews with New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King, [1] actress Lara Pulver who plays Irene Adler on the BBC's Sherlock, [1] and actress Amanda Abbington who plays Mary Morstan on Sherlock. [1]
They were finalists for a podcaster award at the 6th Annual Shorty Awards in 2014. [9]
Activities
At the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con, the Baker Street Babes co-hosted "SherlockeDCC" which featured attendees Mark Gatiss, Sue Vertue, and Steven Moffat. [10]
Two members were interviewed on NBC’s The Today Show in 2012. [11]
The Baker Street Babes organized a "well-attended dinner" [12] at the 2014 annual Sherlock Holmes celebration held in Manhattan by The Baker Street Irregulars and hosted a costume ball at the 2018 celebration. [4]
