September 20, 2021 -- Three Continents of Watsonians

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.

September 7, 2021 -- At the wire in the JHWS Treasure Hunt

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.)

August 30, 2021 -- The Heirs of John H. Watson

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!

Aug 30, 202119 minSeason 3Ep. 35

August 23, 2021 -- A Rat that's not Ballarat. And Watson!

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!

Aug 23, 202118 minSeason 3Ep. 34

August 16, 2021 -- Oh, no, Clark Russell, oh, no!

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.

Aug 16, 202116 minSeason 3Ep. 33

August 9, 2021 -- A Scintillation of Watsoniana

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 All that plus Clark Russell, an unpublished Watson that might surprise, and more!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?

August 2, 2021 -- A Very Special Watsonian Weekly

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.

Aug 02, 202113 minSeason 3Ep. 31

July 26, 2021-- Watson missed the meeting

Well, no July meeting content from the Watsonians, but we finally finish that book by Watson's favorite writer. Also a potential Watson and what happens when animals date above their weight.

Jul 26, 202118 minSeason 3Ep. 30

July 12, 2021 -- A Watson quickie with monkeys

Short episode this week, but we manage to talk about monkeys, St. Bernards, the desire for a Star Wars actor to become a Watson, and Clark Russell still gets mentioned. You know, the author, Clark Russell? Watson's favorite?

Jul 12, 202111 minSeason 3Ep. 28

June 28, 2021 -- To Watsonians, Aussie Watson is like candy

The usual features, plus a whole lot of discussion from the latest meeting of the John H. Watson Society about Watson's younger days. And Mongooses. And washing machine noise. It's the WATSONIAN WEEKLY!

Jun 28, 202127 minSeason 3Ep. 26

June 21, 2021 -- Two Watsons Who

This week's Watson of the Week takes an extended look at the two Watsons who spun off into their own series, but before that, you get Watson trying to put a too-small hat on, and more of his reading material. You could ask for more, but you'll have to come back next week to get it!

Jun 21, 202123 minSeason 3Ep. 25

June 7, 2021 -- The Coronet of Watson's Summer Place

Bull Pup Calder leans heavily on the rest of the Bull Pack this week, and you have to sit through Clark Russell right off the bat, but for you, our most loyal fan, here's your weekly dose of Watson!

Jun 06, 202114 min

May 31, 2021 -- A Recipe for Pickled W . . . atson?

It's a holiday weekend at Watsonian Weekly podcast studios, and things go a little off the rails. Recipes, bad science, grieving Watson, and Watson reads about the worst thing to do after you pick up a woman. You're a hearty Watsonian if you make it through this one!

May 31, 202130 minSeason 3Ep. 22

May 24, 2021 -- Hats ON for Watson!

This week, it's Paddington, the Watson named Winslow, and an entirely new Watson wearing hats for bull pup Buck to go on about. All that, and news of the latest meeting of the John H. Watson Society, the current state of the ship Lady Emma, and more! (But not much more!)

May 23, 202120 minSeason 3Ep. 21

May 3, 2021 -- Lion about Oscar, Watson!

In these times when so little makes sense, why not tune into a podcast that pertains to nothing serious in the world at all and just think about Watson for a while, and those things somehow tied to him? (Which is about everything, really.)

May 03, 202120 minSeason 3Ep. 18

April 26, 2021 -- On That Missing Watson Letter Like Guilty Jackals!

Beaches full of good-looking women come up, but not how you would expect . . . or would you? . . . in a Doctor Watson podcast. Peter Capaldi's Watson, a brief chunk of a long John H. Watson Society meeting, Watson news, and . . . well, it's only twenty minutes, what more do you want? Jackals? Okay, jackals.

Apr 25, 202122 minSeason 3Ep. 17

April 19, 2021 -- Gorilla Hardwicke Strychnine

The title really says it all in this one, but there's also a bunch of Watson news, a shipwrecked couple, and the Canon's secret psychic all here as well. Enjoy!

Apr 19, 202121 minSeason 3Ep. 16

April 12, 2021 -- The Hundredth Episode

It's long and it's live and there is a special guest we've been trying to get on the show for two years! (But he's very shy, so don't expect too much.) Bullpup Calder mixes the drink Watson invented, Bullpup Mopsy returns with Word of the Week, Bullpups Dawson and Maddie both do a Watson of the Week, and Bullpup Destiny joins in a game of Four Watsons. We're a couple of bullpups shy of a full house, and we had to miss a 221B Con panel to record it, but one hundred episodes!!!!

Apr 12, 202149 min

April 5, 2021 -- The foxiest Watson of them all

Someone was playing Sweet's "Fox on the Run" while uploading this episode, and you'll soon see why as we careen through a frozen sailors, pranks, convict-eating mammals, and inspire you to imagine a moustache-off between Royce Pierreson and Charles Prepolec, neither of whom appear in this episode. (What, you're expecting guests?) Yep, pretty much your average episode of the Watsonian Weekly!

Apr 05, 202120 minSeason 3Ep. 14

March 29, 2021 -- Irregulars and Watson

For a podcast about Watson, you'd think we'd have a lot more content about the new Netflix Watson of the series "The Irregulars," but one of us was far too busy binging the thing to do much podcasting! But kill a dozen minutes with us anyway, just like every week.

Mar 29, 202113 minSeason 3Ep. 13

March 22, 2021 -- Was Watson a Paddington bear?

We're one hand short this week, but we still get the scoop on body-less deer, what Watson is missing in Sherlock Holmes Year One, how long a makeshift mast lasts on the good ship Lady Emma, and that special place in Paddington where Watson was happy for a time.

Mar 21, 202117 minSeason 3Ep. 12

March 15, 2011 -- The Dynamics of a Watsoneroid

Somebody is sneaking some Sherlock Holmes into this episode . . . or maybe another sibling for the fellow, but there's still that Watson data you crave. Have a medicinal brandy and join us, won't you?

Mar 15, 202114 minSeason 3Ep. 11

March 1, 2021 -- Let's crow about Watson!

Plenty of news, a little bit more Shoscombe Old Place than you'd expect, a bit more Doctor Who-atson, and the good ship Lady Emma has a ghost problem. All over the place as always, but taking Watson there with us!
