Episodes

February 10, 2020 -- The Full Mary

The host may fumble and bumble a bit this week, but you'll definitely get all the Mary Morstan Watson this episode. She's Watson's valentine, and, well, why not? Also, visit Academicasaurus sometime, if we haven't mentioned it already. You'll hear why this episode. https://academicasaurus.wixsite.com/home

February 3, 2020 -- Nigel and his Toast?

It's Nigel Bruce's birthday week, and we'd believe that he'd do that to toast! Also, another doctor in detection, an educated book review, a word that is raspy but not delilvered so, a poem, and another guy Watson didn't seem to like at all. And bridge. It's Watsonian Weekly time!

Feb 03, 202020 minSeason 2Ep. 5

January 27, 2020 -- Let Watson Eat Cake!

This week there's a whole lot of news about Watson's, Mopsy whispers a word, Buck finds a new Christmas beverage, Samson spies Watson's French connection, and Calder is always fascinated by anyone who gets to eat breakfast at Baker Street. All that and more (There's a robot!) so give us a "View-halloa!" and listen in.

January 13, 2020 -- The Guy Watson Really Didn't Like

Who was the guy Watson just found a waste of space from first sight? Just finding out is unpleasant. But you can toughen up with an iron constitution first and relax with Ian Fleming when it's over. All that, and maybe we see if the Mandalorian really needs a Watson. Or maybe not. But it's mostly about Watson, as always!

Jan 12, 202019 minSeason 2Ep. 2

December 30, 2019 -- The Last of Watson 2019

This is it! The end of this decade of Watsonian Weeklies, with a bunch of news, a different take on Mrs. Watson's needlework, Dr. Dover, and some out-takes from our "Blue Carbuncle" adaptation. Say good-bye to the 2010s like a Watson!

Dec 30, 201916 minSeason 1Ep. 33

December 23, 2019 -- The Blue Carbuncle Special

For our holiday special, the Watsonian Weekly regulars and a few special guests perform "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" in a remarkably straight, if variably acted, adaptation.

Dec 22, 201928 minSeason 1Ep. 33

December 16, 2019 -- More Mary Morstan than you ever wanted

How many ways are there to celebrate your holidays in a Watsonian fashion? Well, this week you might get to hear one way NOT to do it. Also, we get an unwanted shag, an update on the rights to copy, and all those other odd bits Watson inspired, but may not approve of.

Dec 16, 201911 minSeason 1Ep. 32

December 9, 2019 -- Ramblin' gamblin' Watson

This week Watson has all sorts of vices, including mentions of the movie "Holmes and Watson." Will you be missing the Frozen Pirate when it's over? Only the next quarter hour of your life will tell!

Dec 09, 201914 minSeason 1Ep. 31

December 2, 2019 -- Moustaches and Moustaches of Content

Find out which Watson might have had the largest moustache of all the moustached Watsons, as well as the mystery of what the boy did in the night-time, the end of sailor Paul Rodney, and all the Watson news of the week that we could come up with, including such important bits as a Facebook page changing its photo. BUT IT'S WATSON!

Dec 02, 201919 minSeason 1Ep. 30

November 25, 2019 -- William Gillette, Serial Watsoner

There's a holiday giddiness in the air as we approach Thankfullness Day in certain countries, but that doesn't stop the Watson news and infotainment! James, jackets, Jules Tassard, and just about everything Watson you can handle to start a festive week!

Nov 25, 201917 minSeason 1Ep. 29

November 18, 2019 -- Not A Whole Episode About Spoons

Several Watsons pass on, but hopefully not the one the podcast is about. We try to cheer you up with talk of spoons. There's a Watson that Watson could have actually met. And the unfrozen pirate isn't looking so good. It's just another watluck of Watsonian watttage to fill your wattle! Enjoy!

Nov 18, 201919 minSeason 1Ep. 28

November 11, 2019 -- Tinges of Brown Watson Death Rates

There's a self-partnering Watson out there, but John H. Watson is still the most remarkable Watson we know! Not placing great odds on his wife, though, as you'll hear this episode, along with a novel food preservation technique, and two seamen getting drunk!

Nov 11, 201917 minSeason 1Ep. 27

November 4, 2019 -- A Portmanteau Full of Watson

Though the host be stumbling, the Watsonian Weekly marches on like the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers past a Russian ballet. Tigers and brandy and pirates, oh my! And a surprise Watsonian picks our word of the week!

Nov 04, 201918 minSeason 1Ep. 26

October 28, 2019 -- Roosters, Bullets, Dunny Carts, and Watson!

As wide-ranging an episode as ever, the Watsonian Weekly stands firmly with Paul Thomas Miller's assertion that Watson does not lie, wonders about Watson's Halloween costume with Robert Perret, and rages against Sherlock Holmes hogging all the titles. And there might even be the return of a certain old prospector and a moment for one of film's rejected Watsons. Come, join the Watsonians!

Oct 28, 201922 minSeason 1Ep. 25

October 21, 2019 -- Does Everybody Have A Book Out?

It's a slim episode this week, as we await new books from our prime contributors just after the Portland trip, but there's still a few matters of Watson to talk about, massive tomes, trees, a Dock, and getting some of his friends together.

Oct 21, 201914 minSeason 1Ep. 24

Watsonian Weekly Special: "Hum" -- Reflections on a Sherlockian World

Tim Johnson's presentation from the Left Coast Sherlockian Symposium on Sunday morning, October 13, 2019 gained him a standing ovation from the hundred or so in attendance, and this is the one recording of it we were lucky enough to have, made by @221bCrow and not originally intended for podcast release. We hope you can excuse any taps, clicks, audience sounds, etc., and just enjoy the lovely content Tim provided for us that Sunday.

Oct 18, 201931 min

October 14, 2019 -- Mostly Portland, but Southsea too!

Watsonian adventures in Portland make for a weary, random podcast, but at least we have Paul Thomas Miller keeping the tiller of the good ship Watsonian Weekly steady. More Watsonians than we've ever had on a single episode before, though, so . . . quantity over quality? You decide.

Watsonian Weekly Special: Lessons of the Sherlockian Multiverse

Couldn't be in Portland, Oregon on October 13, 2019 to hear the talks at the Left Coast Sherlockian Symposium? Here, at least is the final one from Sunday's program, or, at least, the rehearsal for it, so you can get in on some of it. The Left Coast Sherlockian Symposium, like most of such weekends, was a great time, and you might want to try getting to one, as the range of presentations was impressive.

Oct 13, 201924 min

October 11, 2019 -- Brad meets Left Coast Sherlockians

It's live and raw podcasting from poolside in Portland, with all the wind, microphone moving, and kid-yelling-from-the-balcony you could want, with a host of Sherlockians from up and down the Left Coast.

Oct 11, 201922 minSeason 1Ep. 22

October 7, 2019 -- JUST SAY THE WORD!

The Mrs. Watson discovery, the shingle of Southsea, Watson's missing time, a whole lot of hemming and hawing about a particular word, and IT'S LESS THAN A WEEK UNTIL PORTLAND!

Oct 06, 201921 minSeason 1Ep. 21

September 30, 2019 -- Watpourri?

All sorts of odd Watson business this week . . . including our first commercial? Say it ain't so! The results of the John H. Watson Treasure Hunt are finally in, and so is the good doctor!

Sep 30, 201918 minSeason 1Ep. 20

September 16, 2019 -- Watson Almost Kills Hitler

We're all over the map this week, hitting Watson's reading habits, his uses of a word used in a couple types of . . . ahem . . . recreational activities, a particular sort of egg, and random other bits. Oh, and Watson almost kills young Hitler and stops WW2.

Sep 16, 201918 minSeason 1Ep. 18

September 9, 2019 -- Watson Was Not An Imaginary Friend

Will Robert Downey Jr. be coming to an attic near you? Who was history's first Watsonian of the Year? Is this another one of those episodes where the host gets really weird? All the answers lie within.

Sep 09, 201916 minSeason 1Ep. 17

August 26, 2019 -- Watsonian Goes West

In the final week of the John H. Watson Society's Treasure Hunt, the theme shows of August takes an Old West turn . . . and John H. Watson may not be the same.

Aug 26, 201921 minSeason 1Ep. 15

The Watsonian Weekly for August 19, 2019

We're in week three of the John H. Watson Society's Annual Treasure Hunt, and you need a real motivator to push you through it. We look John Watson's role as a soldier for inspiration, but that doesn't go quite as well as planned.

Aug 18, 201915 minSeason 1Ep. 14

The Watsonian Weekly for August 12, 2019

In the second week of the John H. Watson Society Treasure Hunt, things are starting to get a little scary. Also, we hear from that far-off land of Minnesota, and the weekend's symposium there.
