The various members of the group are active in podcasting, blogging, and Tumblr.^[6]

The podcast began in May 2011^[1] and initially consisted of Kristina Manente,^[6] Ardy from Germany and Katherine from England.^[7] The group has since added eight other members from various locations around the world including United States and France.^[7]

There have been 85 episodes as of the end of 2018^[8] covering various aspects of Sherlockiana and Sherlock fandom including interviews with New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King,^[1] actress Lara Pulver who plays Irene Adler on the BBC's Sherlock,^[1] and actress Amanda Abbington who plays Mary Morstan on Sherlock.^[1]

They were finalists for a podcaster award at the 6th Annual Shorty Awards in 2014.^[9]

At the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con, the Baker Street Babes co-hosted "SherlockeDCC" which featured attendees Mark Gatiss, Sue Vertue, and Steven Moffat.^[10]

Two members were interviewed on NBC’s The Today Show in 2012.^[11]
