Episode 500 – Trifles @ 500

“I would willingly give five hundred” [REIG] 



Five hundred! It's astounding to think we've managed to notch 500 episodes of Trifles. But, do this weekly for nine and a half years, and the math seems to work.

To celebrate our quincentennial, we took an unorthodox approach — one inspired by a scene in The Valley of Fear. Random text on a given page. The exercise was a fascinating one and it produced a number of Trifles.


If you have a question for us, please email us at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your inquiry on the show, we'll send you a thank you gift.

Be sure to investigate our "Trifling Trifles" series of episodes — short-form content that doesn't warrant a full episode. We release these at the beginning of every month. This is a benefit exclusively for our paying subscribers
