The Watsonian Weekly

Probably no news you haven't already heard and heard again this week, but always something you didn't expect to hear. Also, author Margaret Walsh chats with bull pup Maddy, and "Speed 2: Cruise Control" comes up for a reason you won't believe (and probably shouldn't!). It's Watson time!

For Blue Carnuncle eve, bull pup Calder gives a reading of "A Christmas Goose" by Mary O'Reilly. Gather your Watsonian family around the radio and enjoy!

Bull pup Maddie finds David McDowell Blue for her Watson questions this week, bull pup Buck answers a question about food, bull pup Roxie finds a pickle in the Canon, and who was that young footballer who . . . well, we just won't think such things of Mrs. Watson, no, sir! Compliments of the season, it's Watson time!

This week, we fulfull that part of our theme song about audio crime, as technical difficulties make the sound less than perfect in one segment, and a musical with only thirty minutes of rehearsal and a cast so limited the director sings most of the songs (and not well). One of our cast was actually performing to win a bet. But you still want to hear the part about Watson and babies, right? As Sher...

If Watson could time travel, would he listen to this episode? It might not be his first choice, but eventually he might want to hear what Olivia Kirkendall thought about him. That, and no mention of Deshaun Watson at all, this week in Watsonian Weekly's fifteen minutes of pod!

Josh Harvey is Bull Pup Maddy's special guest on "Wondering About Watson" this week, Bull Pup Buck takes an old Sherlockian art form to new levels, Bull Pup Roxie rhymes of Watson's wife, and what else was Watson's Literary Agent trying as a side gig this time? The game is a-Watson!

A suprise guest reminds us of one of Watson's oddest friends. The John H. Watson Society guesses at Holmes's laconic messages. And bull pup Buck fulfills a bull pup's bull pup wish with an amazing swiftness. And what do you stuff Turkey with in the early 1900s? Plenty to find out about this week!

This week, we've got not one, but two special guests on the podcast thanks to the gregarious Bull Pup Maddy! We learn of some Bull Pups that came before the John H. Watson Society breed, learn what "a thick 'un" is, and fill out a whole half hour this time in doing so. 

The episode might be a little short, but there's a pig Watson, a punchy Watson, a doppelganger Watson, and Watson's actual shoe size along the way. One to next week!

Nothing to see here but a normal Watsonian Weekly, but at the place where the show normally ends, Rob Nunn shows up to discuss Enola Holmes 2. So you can listen to most of the episode spoiler free, if you worry about such things. Unless you worry about a certain literary agent's reputation too, then you might get bogged down about the time Bull Pup Buck shows up . . . but test your limits! It's Wa...

Since we never plan special holiday episodes, everyone is pretty normal except the host, and . . .  well, you know how he is. The Watson facts and fun are flying like a witch on a broom, though, so let your ears have a trick or treat with the Watsonian Weekly!

The John H. Watson Society spends some time talking about Watson's potential as a monster, Buck gets a question about wipers, Roxy waxes poetic, and Maddy tosses a popular Watson on to the rugby field. All that and 10% more! It's Watson time!

John H. Watson, monster-killer, ladies man, and a few other things that will come up this week as we give our hero his Monday morning fifteen minutes of fame.

With news this past week of a brand new TV series about John Watson in development, bull pups Buck, Maddie, and Calder get together on Zoom for a round table on what that could mean, making a long arm and sweeping all the normal features off onto the floor for this week to discuss it.

Have you spent enough time thinking about Watson this week? Have any of us? Here's another fifteen minutes for you to add to your weekly Watson resume with . . . oh, it's just fifteen minutes, listen and find out!

We get through the Watson news pretty quick in this extra long episode, but then we test our listeners' endurance with a reader's theatrical adaptation of a novel by one of Watson's favorite writers. Take the Clark Russell Challenger and see if you can make it to the end of this week's episode!

Which Watson taught Holmes, what was Watson's favorite colour, and why are we talking about greeting cards? Most of those answers are in the title of this episode, but it'll only cost you ten minutes to find out the rest, as the host is having a bit of an off week. It's Watson time!

More mentions of tomatoes on this week's podcast that in the entire first forty years of Sherlockian publishing! And the return of the non-Watson author that we love to talk about, especially in September.

How does the musical ear of Josh Harvey hear a meeting of the John H. Watson Society? Who had a tendo achilles? Do mice play rugby? And why did Watson's friends take him to the movies in 1927? Quite a week for the Watsonians this Weekly!

The John H. Watson Society works out the worst Watson on screens, bull pup Maddie works out a Granada Watson's rugby skills, bull pup Roxie rhymes the Musgrave story, bull pup Buck gives Watson's real middle name, and what might Watson's literary agent have done in 1900 to get on the doctor's good side? All this and . . . well, all that . . . this week on the Watsonian Weekly.

Did some villain send an American to seduce Sherlock Holmes away from Watson? What do symposiums on Watson's works talk about when they're not talking about Watson? These questions and more, possibly answered this week.

What's the hardest part of the John H. Watson Society's annual treasure hunt? Who can baffle the Best of Blackheath decider? And what do cucumbers have to do with anything? These, and other answers to questions you didn't really care about, but will listen to for fifteen minutes. (Or thereabouts.)

We've got a treasure hunt master as a guest, some live reporting from Indiana, and an actual rugby player explaining rugby for American listerners. Your fifteen minutes of Watson is here!

This episode wanders all over the map in its pursuit of John H. Watson, so buckly up. Still, only about fifteen minutes, so the ride will be over pretty quickly.

Bull Pup Maddie gives the scoop on the latest and greatest Doctor Watson, Bull Pup Roxie has a shocking poetic revelation about the Honourable Philip Green, and Bull Pups Buck and Calder have it out over whose headcanon Watson is the worst. You may want to listen to this one, just so you know what the Sherlockians at the water cooler are going on about this Monday.
