The Watsonian Weekly

Somehow if you put all this together, a surprising assassin in Afghanistan turned Watson sexy. And yet Maddy is unsure if one of him could do rugby. Is it all connected? Have you listened to this podcast before? Of course not. But here ya go!

Bull pup Maddie gets our news feed up to date with some events catch-up, bull pup Roxie double-takes "A Case of Identity," bull pup Buck has info on Holmes and bees you've NEVER heard before, and bull pup Calder should be fired for at least two things on this episode. It's an extra long one! (Well, for us!)

While it might be an American holiday weekend, Doctor Watson is still on his rounds. Sandy Kozinn does give us a version of Hound that poetically suits the Fourth, Paul answers Rob Nunn's burning question, and Madeline speculates on a Russian Watson's potential for rugby. Think the Literary Agent isn't taking ten percent of an episode like that? Think again!

This week we hear from the John H. Watson Society, who would clearly rather talk about Watson's army pension than his summer beach parties. Bull Pup Buck gives us a final, authoritative answer about Watson running with a wounded leg. Bull Pup Maddie decides a certain unpopped pea fan's sporty potential. And Bull Pup Roxie poetically chases the Hound. All this and the necessary ten percent cut for...

It's about Watson somehow. You know this show. And if you don't, WELCOME TO THE PARTY!

Are we slightly off our game this week? Well, some are some aren't, but here's your weekly dose of Watson, even if personally I think it needs a little ketchup.

This week, our Watson topics hit on a Broadway leading man, a royal execution, a guy named Arthur, and someone who had violet eyes but was not named "Violet." And it's all Watson lore and legend, as it should be! It's Watson time!

There was a meeting of the John H. Watson Society this week, so things get a little more random than usual. Eggs come up a lot. Watson's drink of choice. Nigel Bruce. Five Orange Pips. And that's just for starters.

In this episode, we come to the realization that Mary Morstan Watson isn't getting enough attention, and still pay more attention to a Watson's rugby, his literary agent, and even furze bushes without giving the woman a regular feature.

Watson's many facets take us quite a few places this week -- from Kipling to a pirate we've never heard of to the atheleticism of Colin Blakely. And remember, once you've paid attention to something, you can't get a refund!

"What four patients did Dr. Watson would not want to have on his rounds?" is the Jeopardy answer to this week's title. You also get Valhalla and the real reason Moran shot at Holmes, in addition to those things, so now you definitely have to listen.

May is a sort of vacation time for Watson we find, along with his best rugby version, a friendly bear, and perhaps the inspiration for him writing up his memoirs?

It's a full bull pup pack this week, with all our regulars, as well as the John H. Watson Society, a secret Rathbone appearance, and a taste of this month's missing episode. If you ever think the Watson isn't going well at any point in this episode, hold on! It will definitely get worse!

In a double-host, double-sized episode, bull pups Calder and Maddy review as much of 221B Con 2022 as they could remember -- though there's always more con than anything less than a full team could cover. Also, Watson and exit-ramp restaurants. 

It's the week before 221B Con, and that's where the attention is focused this week. How much Watson can we expect at the con? Let's look!

After a smattering of news, we get into a bit of the thoughts on Watson's final day out there, his friend Stamford, and the Crooked and Creeping choices for longevity. Also, "gaunt."

Having missed our regular features last week, we're going all in with Roxy's Bull Pup Poetry Corner, Bull Pup Buck's Friends of Watson, and even a Watson's Word of the Week!

The annual Dayton, Ohio conference "Holmes, Doyle & Friends" was back in person this year, and we managed to get a little audio from presenters and attendees at the conference. WARNING: It was pretty much all recorded in a karaoke bar and the ambiance will definitely reflect that. 

Is this episode practically all about Lomax, Watson's pal at the London Library? Yes, it is. And we find a possible schism between Holmes and Watson along the way. Got ten minutes? That's all this one takes!

This week, we're just letting the John H. Watson talk about how very, very, very bad Watson could possibly have been, if he was secretly a serial killer. Yep, this one's dark.

One of our bull pups has made a mess on Watson's virtue this week, and another pup can't keep from rolling in it. There's a Whitney, a Garrideb, and a whole lot of murders coming at you this week!

With a rare find in an 1893 newspaper, Paul Thomas Miller gives us a reading of Watson's arrest after "Final Problem" came out in The Strand Magazine. And there is some wild stuff here!

A little shorter episode this week abounding with tests of Watson knowlege, a touch or two of "Three Students," and an exquisite word of the week.

It's a short episode this week, featuring Henry Baskerville, a vampire manuscript, a Boscombe poem, and an old Avenger. Go for it, it won't take long.

There's some weird speculation in the middle of this one, but it gets back to business by the end, looking into a "peculiar" point in Holmes and Watson's relationship. Paul sings, Sandy recites, and Brad just goes on.
