The Watsonian Weekly

Did Watson have a family member at Baker Street? Who was his colonial buddy? Was his pen firing blanks? And why didn't that guy have pants on?

All these questions will be answered, and more, on the latest exciting episode of The Watsonian Weekly! Same Wat-time, same Wat-channel!

Double feature time! Was Watson an April Fool, with his sixty cases of Sherlock Holmes being the greatest April Fool's Day inspiration of all? And how soon after Sherlock Holmes left the womb was he doing detection?

Let Brad Keefauver lull you into drowsiness, and Paul Thomas Miller follow that up with a bedtime story in this Watsonian Weekly special about babies being born and more!

Can a color become intoxicated? Can a Victorian play a proper April Fool's prank? Does Watson have an echo . . . echo . . . echo? All that, another woman with the initials "M.M." in Watson's life, and nobody singing except our theme! What more could you ask of a weekly Watsonian podcast!

In this special episode, we get to hear a little tale for you to listen to in a room that doesn't often get much Sherlockian attention, even though some enthusiasts do decorate it appropriately. Paul Thomas Miller gets all the credit this time out, so fans of the Shingle of Southsea finally get a chance to see what a meeting of that Sherlockian society sounds like.

What is Watson on about this week? How about Thorneycroft Huxtable? We all like Thorneycroft Huxtable, right? Leave the world behind and wander Watsonland with us for a whole fifteen minutes or so.

This article from the May 1986 issue of "Wheelwrightings" picks out an odd phrase in Watson's list of Holmes's shortcomings in "A Study in Scarlet," and ponders his attempts at gardening.

In the first trial of some specials for the isolated Watsonians out there, we present the work of one Arminius Detweiller, an essay about Watson's greatest accomplishment, or lack of same.

The Watsonian Weekly tries hard to ignore all the things that are bothering us right now, and finds brand new things to bother us! Queen Victoria, a certain other podcast, and what was going on with those Victorian trains?

Violet Smith, Doctor Spektor, the number twenty-three, the youngest Watson, 221 BBC, and a story that Sherlock Holmes himself once read about a creature whose cousin some cousin of John Watson will let you eat. And those aren't all of the rabbit holes that the good doctor leads us down this week. Join us, won't you?

How does February 29th figure into Watson's love life? There's a madman, a one-legged man, and some real rigamarole this episode before the time runs out.
