The Watsonian Weekly

A little news, a little explanation about Watson's watch from Bull Pup Buck, then it's on to part two of "A Case of Identity" discussion about Sherlock & Co. Will it be what you expect? I sure don't know.

Many Watsons enter the ring, only one Watson leaves. The John H. Watson Society spends half the show extolling various Watsons, and then the Bull Pups take over the last half of the show and just go on about Sherlock & Co.'s Watson doing so fabulously in his latest episode. ("A Case of Identity"). See if any of those bits change your mind about the greatest Watson out there!

This one has it all! Big Watson news, pronunciations of all sorts, some love for Sherlock & Co.'s Reigate Squire episode, a new Moriarty theory, celebrity cricket, and, inevitably, the end of the episode and that point you have to listen to something else until next week.

We're all over the place this week, which isn't that unusual. Attempting to find a movie that connects actor Harvey Keitel to a Watson character? That might be. Venezualan food, a TV show from the mind of a Baker Street Irregular, and Watson's literary agent taking on a grammar school are just a few of the places the pod goes this week, so buckle up and listen in. You'll hear at least one thing yo...

What can I say? We just kept talking after the Silver Blaze discussion on the May 6, 2024 episode. So if you really just want to hear bull pups Mooch, Maddie, Starlight, and Calder chatting about random Sherlockian things, including THAT movie, here you go.

There's a whole lot of horse race talk in this week's episode as four Americans try to wrap their heads around a more fully realized adaptation of "Silver Blaze" at the Grand Nationals. If you'd like to see just the sort of race Silver Blaze would have run in, here's a link that our guest bull pup: https://youtu.be/8q6ewCO4tB4?si=u6nTLvnQPiaKON9T

Talk of the John H. Watson Society journal, a Watson we don't care much for, Watson having three of something instead of two, and the third part of Silver Blaze's latest modern adaptation is reviewed. And we might all still be recovering from a certain con.

Buckle up for a full hour of bull pup chatter, ranging from a new waffle based Sherlockian society, through artists we saw at 221B Con, to the usual goings on about the second part of "Silver Blaze" from Sherlock & Co. The game is afoot . . . well unless you're reading bull pup Buck's copy of A Study in Scarlet. You'll see.

While some podcasts use a venue like 221B Con to get some good content, The Watsonian Weekly once again just gets random audio that somehow is just a messy version of our usual show. But we got an episode out!

The Valley of Fear, New Zealand, and household plumbing systems -- you never know what you'll find in any of them!  But we touch on each before we spend more time than the show we're reviewing lasts to discuss the second part of Sherlock & Co.'s "Retired Colourman." Arf arf!

It's our April Fool's Day episode, where you just never know what to believe and what not to believe -- oh, wait, that's every episode. It's Watson news, reviews, and random possibly connected bits, as always. Good luck!

I hope you have a good breakfast before you listen to this one. And we talk about a sadder end for Professor Presbury than getting gnawd on by a dog. It's a pretty long episode for just those two thing, I'd think, but give it a go!

We've got bull pups working out Watson's greatest characteristic, we've got bull pup Buck explaining Watson's final fate, we've got bull pups Starlight and Maddie going on about that Watson podcast in the middle of its Creeping. But we don't have is a long discussion on bonobo apes, just one of the big lot of audio that fell to the cutting room floor this week. But don't worry, you're still gettin...

Once bull pup Buck brings up pizza, we just can't stop thinking about it, at least until Sherlock & Co. does its weekly distraction. Hope you have pizza in your future.

Bull pup Buck is back to help us celebrate the most important day of the Sherlockian year, and it's not Hug a Holmesian Day on March 11th! Also, we get a note from bull pup Louie that leads us into the next review by Bull Pups & Co. of the second Solitary Cyclist episode of Sherlock & Co. 

It's an extra long dose of Watson medicine this week, as bull pup Maddie interviews comics guru Joanna Draper Carlson, and then Bull Pups & Company takes John Watson to task for the revelations of his first part of the "Solitary Cyclist" investigation. Also, what was Watson's Literary Agent doing at the scene of the Jack the Ripper murders? And a little John H. Watson Society club business, just t...

There's a new Sherlock Holmes fan community going on out there whom Watson has adopted as his own, and this week bull pup Evidently Harmless joins us with the details. There's a new TV show coming that basically puts Watson in a box with Schrodinger's cat for the time being. Why did Watson's literary agent meet a client of Sherlock Holmes in the really real world? And then we get down to talking a...

Our evolution into just becoming a "Sherlock & Co." fan podcast continues, as we spend a whole half hour talking about a single podcast episode that doesn't last that long -- the first party of their "Gloria Scott" adaptation. Hope you're up for it, because we sure were.

It's another long commentary on Watson's podcast "Sherlock & Co." and its version of "Red-Headed League," but bull pup Buck still gets in some thought on Watson's Ford and Conan Doyle does something weird with A Study in Scarlet. Fill your ears!

Who was Watson named after? What kind of TV shows could Watson have as the featured character? And where did Watson break into sixteen businesses over the last year or so? You can hear it all on the John H. Watson Society's podcast this week!

Rob Nunn is back on the pod, and bringing second-generation Sherlockian Peter Eckrich with him! Also, Watson's Patreon, Watson's Fingers, a Watsonian's New York weekend, and . . . isn't that enough? More than twice as long as our normal episode!

A little bit from New York and a whole lot from bull pups on the latest Sherlock & Co. adaptation. Johanna Draper Carlson sits in as our special guest!

Spoiler! Going to talk a little bit about the same news story on every entertainment site with no new information! Bull pup Buck lets us know about Watson's ongoing love of Chinese pottery, and that's about it. But we'll get back to talking about Sherlock & Co. soon enough!

We start season six with a gangbuster of an episode because we can't stop talking about Sherlock & Co. and its amazing Watson -- and one of the bull pups is not afraid to offend Martin Freeman fans in praising Paul Waggott's Watson! (Even though Paul doesn't get mentioned by name in this episode. We'll remedy that soon.) Our own Paul, of the Thomas Miller variety, gets into Watson's least favorite...

In the final episode of our fifth season, the John H. Watson Society does an a capella somewhat musical number, bull pup Buck ponder's Watson's favorite client, a goose poem is ready by bull pup Sherry, and Watson's Literary Agent's belief in a certain red-suited legend is considered. So give it a listen and give us your "Compliments on the season!" because that's what Watson would do this time of...
