The Watsonian Weekly

What's up with Watson and statues? Well, the stone is unpinchable for one thing, but we're going to spend a lot of time talking about pinching or pince-ing this episode. "Golden pince-ing" to be exact, as we go one and on about Watson's Sherlock & Co. take on the familiar tale. Buckle up! It's Watson time!

There's news of the John H. Watson Society evolving, matters involving Watson's agent, and a lot of talk about Sherlock & Company's solving of Thor Bridge.

A few thoughts on Watson's Wives and Watson's wives, still more thoughts on Watson podcasting the new Thor Bridge, and why January 6 is a day to toast a Watson. 

This week we have a little of the usual and a whole lot of two Texans talking about schoolboy John H. Watson, roaming the country, and a Sherlockian to admire. Buckle up!

A bit of our usual news, bull pup Buck, and then three Watsonians go on about recent "Sherlock & Co." episodes for so long that we forget to give the Literary Agent his 10%. But in memory of Joss Ackland, I'm going to declare "DIP-lomatic immunity!" here in the notes.

A lot more talk with Margie Deck about writing Conan Doyle-ish works. And a moment on sausages. Maybe something else?

Bull pup Gwen, a.k.a. Margie Deck, returns to the Watsonian Weekly to tells us about her new books, how both Watson and his Literary Agent have inspired her, and more. Meanwhile, bull pup Buck holds a mini dog show to pick the goodest boy of the Canon. Also does a wound show who your true friends are? It's Watson time!

In this episode, recorded from somewhere in the Detroit suburbs, bull pups Maddy and Calder attempt to do an entire episode just using an iPhone after seeing the Ken Ludwig play Moriarty at the Meadow Brook Theatre. (Someone packed every bit of equipment EXCEPT his laptop for the trip, so you'll have to wait for next week, bull pup Buck fans -- he'll be back, singing and answering then!) But for n...

Could Watson be a criminal? Could Watson be an elephant? Many questions get answered and Sherlock Holmes seems to hate Jungian analysis. All that and more, this week as we get our first "Watson Consultation" with Rob Nunn as the patient subject.

Having learned that John H. Watson is doing his own podcast about life with Sherlock Holmes, we've devoted a special triple-length episode to fanning on about Watson's work. Go listen to "Sherlock & Co." wherever podcasts are downloaded, then come back and hear Madeline, Heather, and Brad going on about how great it is.  Back to our regular show next week, but this week it's all about "Sherlock &...

You never know when ghosts are going to show up, except when the podcast description forewarns you. What does John H. Watson have to do with Watsonville, California? Is Watson a slowpoke? Who might be rumored to having tried to recreate "The Speckled Band" on Halloween? There are secrets a-plenty in this episode, and you simply have to give it a listen! You have to!

Bullpup Calder only has a half hour to put together a podcast, and bull pups Buck, Roxie, and a mystery pup help him fill the time. Don't get your hopes up for this one!

Was Watson jealous of a certain U.S. president? And what's the deal with typewriters? And Mrs. Turner? It's a short but sweet episode of the Watsonian Weekly, so grab that Watson while you can!

It's a short show with what bull pup Buck considers a long letter in it. 

The John H. Watson Society is encouraged to be very superficial this week as they comment on the looks of three potential real Watsons. Ellie gets a second strike from our dear Buck. And why DID Watson take Holmes to Cornwall in 1897? You're going to want to know.

Between the end of the John H. Watson Treasure Hunt, Dear Buck's weekly feature, and a question from the last JHWS online gathering, a lot of questions are being answered this week, and we also get one opinion that no one asked for in a new editorial feature! 

There are a few little sound issues at the heart of this week's episode, along with some of that pawky Watsonian humor that might make you wish there were a few more sound issues. But we've got Alisha Shea on Wondering about Watson, and actual listener mail, with a Max theory on Watson's middle name . . . and we don't mean "Max" the streaming service!

Those travelling Sherlockians of note, Monica Schmidt and Greg Ruby, come to visit the studio of the Watsonian Weekly, and we just leave the microphone on . . . for a little while. It's not your normal episode, but when is it ever?

It's a slow week in the world of Watson, but we find a few reasons to keep talking for your weekly does of things somehow related to our favorite Victorian doctor/author. You might want to listen to this one in bed, as side effects make cause drowsiness.

A bit of a light week, but Watson's middle name comes up again, one more eternally unsettled questions of Dr. Watson's existence. There's a little new of the John H. Watson Treasure Hunt, a bit about Watson and a demon, and we're back to a "word of the week?" What's next, bees? (Inside joke for early, early, early listeners.)

We mostly hear about Holmes in the Heartland this past weekend, which was heaven for a lot of folks this weekend, but Bull Pup hits the opposite topic before we finish the show. Enjoy!

The John H. Watson Treasure Hunt's master of the hunt tasks the assembled bull pups with five questions to prepare for the annual August hunt, and then asks a question of our greatest answerer of Watson questions. This is a very Rich episode!

A smaller episode as most of the crew is trying hard to keep up with a busy July. Can you have a story discussion that focuses on Watson and not the other guy? Can a guy who answers Watson questions with a single word write a five hundred page book? You might find these things out in these eight minutes.

We barely made eleven minutes this week, but it's a good eleven minutes. The ramifications of trying to place Watson's birthday on a particular date are discussed, as well as an ingenious hybrid fic that gives us double the Watson. And bull pup Buck has a word that we might want to have a word with him about. Here you go!

After a little chat with Kristin Mertz, who will be speaking on Colonel Moran at the upcoming Holmes in the Heartland event, bull pup Buck sends the podcast down a whole rabbit hole by simply answering the question "What did Watson weigh?" It's a holiday week in America, so some of you have plenty of time to spend an extra fifteen with Watson!
