Summary

On the Spoiler Special podcast, Slate critics discuss movies, the occasional TV show, and, once in a blue moon, another podcast, in full spoiler-filled detail. This week, Slate’s Marissa Martinelli and Laura Miller spoil Enola Holmes. Enola, who likes to remind people that her name spelled backwards is ‘alone,’ wakes up to find her mother missing. While Enola is determined to investigate her mother’s disappearance, it’s up to Mycroft and Sherlock to figure out what to do with their little sister. Can Enola outwit her intelligent brothers and break free from the stuffy, proper future Mycroft sets out for her? Plus, Marissa and Laura delve into other, more transgressive, Holmes stories with female protagonists. You can read Laura Miller’s review here.

0:48.9	Assyram, so make of that what you will. I'm joined by Laura Miller, books and culture columnist at Slate.
0:56.1	My name backwards is Raleemarul, which I know very well because when your name is something like Laura Miller and you need to come up with a unique user ID, spelling your name backwards is usually the easiest way to do it.
