The Watsonian Weekly

As Sherlockians and Watsonians gathered to celebrate Sherlock's birthday, the John H. Watson Society and friends got together to do some serious chats about John Watson. An extra-long episode to give you travelers a little more to listen to this week.

Another new feature tests Watson's bod for rugby potential, then we look at his rugby friend, try to tie a limerick to the them, and find out how Watson's correspondent almost made rugby America's major autumnal sport. Here's the Weekly!

It's season four of The Watsonian Weekly! You want Watson news? We've got it! You want new features? We've got them! You want Watson's number? It may not be what you're hoping for, but we have that, too! It's 2022, and we're starting the year off with a bang!

Well, bull pup Calder seems very confused about which day the second day after Christmas is, but it's a Blue Carbuncle heavy episode to celebrate that day, along with Moriarty the Patriot's Watson, and Watson's last hat to finish up 2021. Compliments of the season, Watsonians!

Better listen closely this time around, kids, as the voices come fast and furious with a dozen guests from the John H. Watson Society. Some talk of whippoorwills and holly, and a little surprise visit from that jolly fellow we adore at the end of our little Christmas parade.

Yep, it's Blue Carbuncle time, and we've got a few takes, along with other Watson, hat, and goose work, along with a dash of Irregular activity for seasoning.

Did I just type the whole description in the title? Pretty close! Walking through the fall issue of The Watsonian, mispronouncing names, and wondering about a few things until the regulars come in and do the real work of the show. Enjoy!

It's a short but sweet episode with updates on the John H. Watson Society, a feline Watson of the week, the good doctor modeling some glittery headwear, and how the nineties almost corrupted our old friend. Take twelve minutes and catch up with Watson!

We go on a bit this week as Watson leads us to NASA, Denny Dobry, and . . . Fratton? Well, there was a wrong turn there somewhere, but semi-regulars Rob Nunn and Tink the cat join us once again, in addition to Paul Thomas Miller and Madeline Quinones. I have got to finish these earlier.

Desperate times call for desperate features from two of our three podcasters this week, so we start pulling in Watson's from friendly sources. Bull pup Buck is well-prepared as usual, though, and has Watson trying on a certain single lady's hat. It's Watson time!

This episode features a goodly amount of bull pup Maddie's first trip to see Ken Ludwig's "Baskerville," along with the usual tidbits. 

In which we talk about that upstart society of Watson's agent, a hat, a sonnet, a Hammer time Watson, and the woman who actually beat Sherlock Holmes, at least according to Moriarty. (Really!)  Get you some Watson!

It's an extra-long one this week, as we ad a little bit from the latest meeting of the John H. Watson Society (but not the part where a certain member allegedly plotted to kill Sherlockians just to get into an exclusive club . . . oops . . . that's not in this episode). All our regulars, no sea captains, just the way you like it.

We're all over the place this week: a Noble Bachelor's hat, a Priory poem, a Force-full Watson, and the end of a saga. All like something from a dream dreamt by a man named John.

Wondering how many wives Watson had? We have answers! Which Watson was his Holmes's arms? We have that answer! Who do you get to do Clark Russell Corner when you can't get Captain Basil? That answer too! And something about squirrels gone bad that may be somebody's answer to something.  Hang on, it's Watson time!

Really short episode this week, as the host had some family functions to deal with, but you get a hat and a wannabe! Take a break and check in on the doctor.

I just blew through recording this episode so fast that I can't even describe it! It's last thing on Sunday night and the Watsonian Weekly rides again!

This week we pay tribute to some Watsonian winners a couple of times, hear a little about Empty House, John Rhys Davies, shipboard marriage, seals, and could a podcast crossover be coming? Listen and let us know.

This week we wander through Watson's reading, his wife, a certain hat, an Obiwatson Kenobi, and the case where Watson was really the brains of the operation. Don't believe it? Listen to this . . .

Today was the deadline for the John H. Watson Society's annual month-long Treasure Hunt trivia quiz, and a certain podcast host waited until the final day to even start it when he should have been working on the podcast. The result? You get to listen to someone working on a trivia quiz while podcasting. (And the regulars, Paul, Madeline, and Sandy, who aren't distracted by the quiz.)

All sorts of news about the John H. Watson Society, Watson puts on a panama, one Watson will we never get to see, Clark Russell might sink another ship, poetry, and a somewhat dramatic reading from a Saturday performance. This one's . . . well, better than a lot of them!

Bull pups Buck, Maddie, Roxy, Beacon, and Calder bark up a . . . wait, you do remember that members of the John H. Watson Society are called bull pups, right? Anyway, rats, a vocal Watson, a classic CR storm, a Final poem, and books! 

Watson's doppelganger, the last of Doctor Who's Watsons, the anti-Watson's opera hat, a brandy verse, and then Clark Russell takes us down a pretty criminal sea lane.

In our longest episode in a very long time, we are joined by bull pups Roxie and Beacon for poetry and shopping. Regular pups Maddy and Buck hit their usual high notes. And special guest Tim Johnson joins in for a look at this past Saturday's online symposium of Sherlockian goodness. All that plus Clark Russell, an unpublished Watson that might surprise, and more! Join us, won't you?

It's a very special episode of the Watsonian Weekly, at least it thinks it is. But who gets to define "special" anyway? Watson puts on an very surprising cap, bull pup Maddie has a very surprising hope for a Watson, and . . . well, it's a special episode.
