The Watsonian Weekly

We've got the stock market, neck-ties, Jenny Flint, cheetahs, and Miss Marie Otway finally boards the Lady Emma before Watson goes to bed. Enjoy, you howling Watsonians!

Waiting for the U.S. president to talk about Watson again, murder ponies, more Clark Russell, Gnome Watson, canaries, and more! You don't have to love Watson to listen to the Watsonian Weekly, but what the heck is going on that you don't love Dr. Watson? Sheesh! Get on the Watson wagon, weekly!

Join Brad, Paul, Margie, Robert, and Madeline on a Watsonian cruise through unexpected waters this week. Keep your harpoons at the ready, because thar a whale of an episode blows, matey!

Recovering from the big Sherlock Holmes January Weekend and America's worst week in a while, the Watsonian Weekly still returns to being fully staffed with Margie Deck, Robert Perrett, Paul Thomas Miller, Madeline Quiñones, and guest toaster Sandra Little! (And Brad Keefauver, your fumbling-through-some-last-minute-recording host.) We're talking Watson here!

Watson is into all kinds of curious things as be begin our third year of reporting upon Watsonish things. A lot of subbing for regulars this week, but you still get the full Weekly.

It's a lazy holiday weekend episode with two regulars off and Madeline Quiñones stepping in for Watson's Word of the Week. Hear the bittern boom, find out what happened to the first bull pup, and how a four-in-one featured Watson of the Week works. It's the last episode of season two, and . . .  (That's your cliffhanger.)

In this Watsonian Weekly Christmas Eve special, we give you a bit of the usual and a little Christmas story that spins off of "Speckled Band." If nothing else, it might help you drift off before Santa shows up at your house.

Somehow, one member of the team going on Christmas break sends the podcast spinning into . . . well, just a shorter podcast. Just eleven minutes and thirty-six seconds, at which point it's definitely over and you should turn off your app, close the web page, or whatever your method of listening is. 

While we do hit Christmas, drunkenness in the Canon, and boars, there's a whole lot of chat about Watson's three continental "breakfasts" from the John H. Watson Society.

No on-the-scene reports this week, but some good, solid Watson work anyway, on his coat, classic Watsoniana, and the Watson with the most recorded monkey attacks. It's under twenty minutes, so what have you got to lose?

This week we have an astonishing live remote from Portsmouth where the 140th anniversary of Watson returning home from war on the troopship Orontes! Does it make up for some horrid sound editing on another part of the show? Well, you'll have to find out the hard way. Welcome to the Watsonian Weekly!

Really, I just want to write the description for the next "Sherlock Holmes is Real" right now, but here we are. Roll into one nation's Thanksgiving with a big scoop of mashed Watson.

You may enjoy hearing some toasts, a Irish John Watson, bisons, or the rising shade against the writer of "Watsoniana," but where else are your going to hear a podcaster that had to fight off a cat during the show? 

Some of us are subtle with mail and things said "joe-cosely," and some of us are not at all, but this is a good week to be bidin' your time with the Watsonian Weekly, if you catch my drift. And if you make it past everything else, you might even find out where the term "Watsonian" first appeared in reference to our friend John H. Watson. So pitter-patter . . .

Take a moment from your stressful week and enjoy talk of cesspools, shocking night creature revelations, and John Watson going out to the terrace to die. (We don't mention the terrace part on the podcast, but . . . yeah.) The Watsonian Weekly is here for you in numbing your time of political dread!

This week, we feature Denmark's capital city, its second largest land predator, Victorian liberalism, and dog policies of tenant housing. And yet, this is still the most entertaining podcast focused on that cutey John H. Watson that you're going to get this week!

Is it Holmesoween or Hallowatson? Either way, you're getting tricks and treats in this wildly fish-tailing episode of somehow Watson-related miscellanea, all presented in a lazy Sunday fashion.

Want to hear about sisters *COMMA* , asses *COMMA*, snackling *COMMA*, and a gathering of Sherlockians that didn't have any of those? It's our Left Coast Sherlockian Symposium follow-up episode, with special guests Phil Bergem, Heather Hinson, and the not-quite-as-special-because-he's-on-a-lot Rob Nunn.

Feeling a bit chaffered? A bit red in the head? Does Watson ape a few folks, and it that a fair assessment? Give us ten minutes or so and you can find out.

No twaddle, but some Twidle this episode as we also talk about Enola, hats, and not much else. It's a short one!

What kind of music did Watson like? What would people sing about Watson? What would Watson himself sing about? And can we have a Watson concert based on all this someday? Time to find out!

After a good bit of John H. Watson Society breaking news, some bits on Portland, Madrid, a menangerie, and Uffa, we present a reader's theater production of "Watson's Lion's Mane," with one of the most diversely voiced casts on a Sherlock Holmes play you will hear this year!

A little later than usual, but we've got winners, we've got pate de foie gras pie, and we've got those chubby little faces you want to see at your Labor Day festivities. It's Watson time!

This week, we find it hard to do Watson news without getting sidetracked on that old East wind. And for the love of Baker Street, somebody get Watson some chocolate!

Two new voices on the podcast this week give us a book review and a 1980s take on Watson as a husband, whilst the old familiars take us down some different alleys in Watsontown.
