The Watsonian Weekly

We get through the Watson news pretty quick in this extra long episode, but then we test our listeners' endurance with a reader's theatrical adaptation of a novel by one of Watson's favorite writers. Take the Clark Russell Challenger and see if you can make it to the end of this week's episode!

Which Watson taught Holmes, what was Watson's favorite colour, and why are we talking about greeting cards? Most of those answers are in the title of this episode, but it'll only cost you ten minutes to find out the rest, as the host is having a bit of an off week. It's Watson time!

More mentions of tomatoes on this week's podcast that in the entire first forty years of Sherlockian publishing! And the return of the non-Watson author that we love to talk about, especially in September.

How does the musical ear of Josh Harvey hear a meeting of the John H. Watson Society? Who had a tendo achilles? Do mice play rugby? And why did Watson's friends take him to the movies in 1927? Quite a week for the Watsonians this Weekly!

The John H. Watson Society works out the worst Watson on screens, bull pup Maddie works out a Granada Watson's rugby skills, bull pup Roxie rhymes the Musgrave story, bull pup Buck gives Watson's real middle name, and what might Watson's literary agent have done in 1900 to get on the doctor's good side? All this and . . . well, all that . . . this week on the Watsonian Weekly.

Did some villain send an American to seduce Sherlock Holmes away from Watson? What do symposiums on Watson's works talk about when they're not talking about Watson? These questions and more, possibly answered this week.

What's the hardest part of the John H. Watson Society's annual treasure hunt? Who can baffle the Best of Blackheath decider? And what do cucumbers have to do with anything?

These, and other answers to questions you didn't really care about, but will listen to for fifteen minutes. (Or thereabouts.)

We've got a treasure hunt master as a guest, some live reporting from Indiana, and an actual rugby player explaining rugby for American listerners. Your fifteen minutes of Watson is here!

This episode wanders all over the map in its pursuit of John H. Watson, so buckly up. Still, only about fifteen minutes, so the ride will be over pretty quickly.

Bull Pup Maddie gives the scoop on the latest and greatest Doctor Watson, Bull Pup Roxie has a shocking poetic revelation about the Honourable Philip Green, and Bull Pups Buck and Calder have it out over whose headcanon Watson is the worst. You may want to listen to this one, just so you know what the Sherlockians at the water cooler are going on about this Monday.
