The Watsonian Weekly

Think a podcast about John H. Watson can't find a way to talk about racism this week? Have you read what he wrote? Some seriousness and some of the usual silliness as well this week, so buckle up . . . it's still not a very long podcast, in any case.

Breaking news on Watson being replaced by a younger man with a similar first name adds to the chaos of the world at the moment, and we turn to poetry, Violet Hunter, and Australia for comfort.

We range from the poetic to the pro wrestling in our praise of Watsons this week, and there's plenty of news and even Mycroft gets a bit, so join us, won't you?

The Watsonians met this week, so there's good news there! We've got Watson's education, his poetry, and even an alien encounter for the good doctor?

The lower-case animal crossing gets a little weird in this one, and there's a Watson who isn't human (mammal) and one who isn't human (flower). How that theme got into this episode, I don't know, but at least there's none of that Dr. Moreau stuff going on here!

Is it the Wat-man's arch-foe, the Quizzler, showing up in this week's episode? No, we're not getting that silly, but quizzes are on our minds, as well as quacks, loafers, and a good Watsonian who has left our ranks. Stay 'til the end, and you might just get reminded what people are like!

The host gets very distracted this week, and some definite rabbit holes occur. Isolation, Watson's Google searches, landlady poetry, a rare pair that doesn't get enough attention (in one Pup's eyes), croquet, a Russian Watson, and acid bystanders? Here we go.

This episode says "View-halloo!" So do listen to it, won't you? It's on Dudley Moore, Prime ministers and lore, With perhaps a dirty limerick or two.

In this four-part special, Paul Thomas Miller leads off with an essay on the Baker Street servant class, then we get into a 1978 Peoria debate on Watson's drinking. By the time it's all over, things descend into something that might be tragedy, might be comedy, or might just be the sort of podcasting only a viral hermitage can produce.

John H. Watson is many things to many people, and this week, he's some very, very different things, one of which we couldn't even tell you on the podcast. (But watch for a clue in a "Watson House Calls" special this week.) Fifteen minutes or so of Watson fun ahead , step right this way!
