Madeline Quiñones is the person responsible for these shenanigans. You can also hear her segments on the Watsonian Weekly, and this podcast kind of got started because of her webcomic-on-hiatus, The Adventures of Professor Moriarty. Her first Moriarty was Vincent Price as Professor Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective, and her favorite Moriarty is Eric Porter (also Daniel Davis from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Richard Newman as clone!Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century). She loves the Professor because she was writing him in fanfiction and fell down a rabbit hole trying to get a grasp on his character, and she contends that he was involved in the events of “The Resident Patient.”

Dixie Parkinson is the co-host and most excellent editor for the first four seasons. Her fandom cred lies in having consumed almost all media — film, radio, print, and even video games — that include the Master from Doctor Who. Her first Moriarty was Daniel Davis, and Eric Porter is also her favorite — along with Davis and Andrew Scott from BBC Sherlock. She loves the Professor because she has a thing for villains, especially villains who mirror the heroes, and she agrees with Granada that Moriarty was definitely behind “The Red-headed League.”
