The Watsonian Weekly

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!
