Episode 25: Steampunk Holmes

Listen [HERE]

--------

Babes Jenn, Lyndsay, and Amy have a chat with three of the people behind the Steampunk Holmes project.  Producer Richard Monson-Haefel, author P.C. Martin, and artist Daniel Cortes talk about how the idea of mashing Sherlock Holmes and steampunk together came to life.  Holmes rides a steampunk motorcycle with sidecar! Watson has a bionic arm! Mycroft is a female! How cool is that?!?

The Steampunk Holmes project is authorized by the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate and is a labor of love for these three.  Currently, they are in need of your help.  Steampunk Holmes has launched a Kickstarter Campaign to help raise funds to complete their interative iPad application of Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus.  Everyone who donates gets some amazing gifts for helping.  You can donate here.

Some of you may have come across the Steampunk Holmes project in your wanderings around the interwebs.  As the website says, “Steampunk Holmes is a mashup of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, characters, and stories from other 19th century works set in an alternative Steampunk universe.”

Baker Street Babes Jenn, Lyndsay, and Amy had the pleasure of chatting with three of the collaborators on this project, Developer Richard Monson-Haefel, Author P. C. Martin, and Artist Daniel Cortes, for the podcast.  The interview will be Episode 25 and you will all get a chance to listen to how passionate and awesome these folks are next week. Seriously, they made Mycroft a woman and Watson has a bionic arm.  Trust us, you’ll want to check this out!
