Listen "Odd Jobs"
Episode Synopsis
"He could carve a bit and gild and frame, and do odd jobs." [SIXN] There were scores of jobs mentioned in the Sherlock Holmes stories, but we focus on some of the more trifling titles in this episode. You've heard of doctors and lawyers and even consulting detectives as professions. But what about gamekeepers? Or yeggmen? Mendicants (amateur or otherwise), tide-waiters and an abbess await your inquiry as well. Have you left us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts yet?
