January 8, 2021 -- New Year, New Watson Coming!

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!

January 1, 2024 -- A Watson Worth Fighting For?

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 client, and do you know who Arthur Guiterman is? Well, he's a poet we'll hear from this week. S...

December 25, 2023 -- The Twelve Days of Watson Begin!

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 year, wouldn't he?

December 18, 2023 -- Pinching Noses. Arms, and Authorship

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!

November 19, 2023 -- Thurston, Archie, and Some Other Friends of Watson

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.

November 6, 2023 -- Watson With Remarkable Cunning

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!

October 30, 2023 -- Moriarty Makes Us Phone It In!

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 now, blame any deficiencies in this one on Moriarty, as it truly is his fault.

October 23, 2023 -- Watson Gets Robbed!

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.

October 16, 2023 -- Forget This! Go Listen to "Sherlock & Co." Podcast Now!

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 & Co." because . . . well, give it a listen and you'll see why we're excited!

October 9, 2023 -- Ghost Season and Watsonville

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!

September 25, 2023 -- John versus Teddy

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!

September 11, 2023 -- Three Watsons

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.

September 4, 2023 -- Watsonians Answering Questions!

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!

Sep 04, 202316 minSeason 5Ep. 36

August 28, 2023 -- Pawky, Pawky, and How, Podcasters at Large

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!

August 21, 2023 -- Monica and Greg Come To Call

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?

Aug 21, 202325 minSeason 5Ep. 34

August 14, 2023 -- So Little Watson, But Someone Needs To Get To Sleep

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.

Aug 14, 202314 minSeason 5Ep. 33

August 7, 2023 -- Watson's Middle Name Gets The Bird

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.)

July 31, 2023 -- Holmes in the Heartland

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!

July 24, 2023 -- The Full Kriscuinas

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!

July 17, 2023 -- The July That Was Short On Time

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.

Jul 17, 20239 min

July 9, 2023 -- A Killer Birthday and THIS Doctor

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!

July 3, 2023 -- Weighing in on Watson

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!

Jul 03, 202317 minSeason 5Ep. 27

June 26, 2023 -- The Great Watson Arch Enemy Debate

This week, the John H. Watson Society had a whole lot of opinions about whether or not Watson had any enemies, which, due to a very busy weekend here at the Watsonian Weekly studio, winds up being most of the episode. But don't worry, bull pup Buck fans! You can listen to him first.

June 19, 2022 -- Watson falls into a Brown study

More talk of Holmes in the Heartland this episode, with some Sherlockian observations from Cindy Brown, one of the speakers at that conference.
