The Watsonian Weekly

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.

More talk of Holmes in the Heartland this episode, with some Sherlockian observations from Cindy Brown, one of the speakers at that conference. Bull pup Buck explains cigarettes, and a new discovery about Watson's own bull pup from . . . a Fox? All this and the usual Watson rambles, so call it: It's Watson time!

Buckle up, Watsonians, this one is not only three times the normal length, it's full of some very lively ideas as Ross Davies takes "Wondering About Watson" to all new heights, and we still take some time to talk to Steve Mason about an upcoming July evening. (And don't worry -- Paul's still here, too!)

Do you know who Dr. Lyndon Parker is? Well, if you don't we're going to explain it to you this week. And when we get done talking Praed (as in 7B Praed Street, where Parker lived), we might eventually get to our Watson's Word of the Week, "pride," but it's a long and winding road. Here we go!

The John H. Watson Society gathers to let us know what gifts they'd bring a pregnant Mrs. Watson at her baby shower, bull pup Buck tells where Watson got married, and bull pup Maddy asks Bruce Harris the five big questions all Watsonians must answer.

Three different famous writers about Sherlock Holmes get their birthday mentioned this week, and one of them is definitely still alive! Also, Vincent Wright, Sherlockiana's master chronologist, stops by for bull pup Maddy's Wondering About Watson intervew.

This week, we celebrate the past weekend's Eurovision finals with a look into Watson fics, ridiculous limericks, and a John H. Watson Society discussion of Watson's birthday. Is this just the beginning of the "Eurusvision Limerick Contest" or a strange moment soon to be forgot? You just never know with the Watsonian Weekly!

It's an early review of Ken Ludwig's play Moriarty! Of course, you have to deal with the rest of our podcast to get there, and our host is plainly not fully invested in the podcast at one point, but give it a listen anyway!

Reichenbach Day is coming and we have a little talk about that, an appropriate question for bull pup Buck, a fitting fic of the week, and bull pup Maddy interviews Naching Kassa about her Watson proclivities. Get to listening before Watson gets called back to the hotel for a sick patient!

It may sound like bull pup Maddie stayed at 221B Con, like bull pup Buck was affected forever by someone he met there, and that robots are replacing podcast cast members, but have no fear! We'll see if we can fix all that by next week's podcast, so enjoy this very special episode of the Watsonian Weekly. (But aren't they all?)
