November 18, 2024 -- More Watson Relationship Talk

November 18, 2024 -- More Watson Relationship Talk

When a doctor isn't known for his medical practice and his authorship is usually attributed to another writer, what's left? His relationships, whether he's living in the Victorian era or now.

November 4, 2024 -- Mostly Sign of the Four Talk!

November 4, 2024 -- Mostly Sign of the Four Talk!

Is there anyone out there that will listen to an hour of raving reviews of Sherlock & Co.'s adaptation of Sign of the Four just to get to "The Literary Agent's Ten Percent"? Because those are the two things you're getting this week. Just wait until January when we have multiple Watsons to go on about! You might get THREE different things in an episode. "Might."

October 28, 2024 -- The Beauty and the Horror of Watson

After some news of the coming Watson, we rave about what at least one bull pup calls the best episode of a Sherlockian podcast ever, and then we test Watsonians on their knowledge of Watson's horrors. A lot of listening for the Watson lover in you!

October 21, 2024 -- Mary Morstan Is Controversial Yet Again!

October 21, 2024 -- Mary Morstan Is Controversial Yet Again!

A bit of news, a whole lot of discussion of part two of Sherlock & Co.'s Sign of Four, thanks to the always-problematic Miss Mary Morstan. (Even in Original Canon!) And, after all that, just a touch of Hollamy shipping to wind up the episode.
01:09:5921/10/2024
October 14, 2024 -- A Brand New Sign of the Four

October 14, 2024 -- A Brand New Sign of the Four

We were very anxious to talk about Sherlock & Co.'s new adaptation of The Sign of the Four starting up, but Sherlockiana had one of its rare controversies that had to be mentioned first. And it seems to be Baskerville season!
56:5414/10/2024
October 7, 2024 -- Let There Be Dog Tension

October 7, 2024 -- Let There Be Dog Tension

Not even going to explain the title this week, you're just going to have to take the ride. The last part of Sherlock & Co.'s "Resident Patient" gets its Bull Pup review, Sarah Bernhardt gets her moment in the Literary Agent's Ten Percent, and . . . need we say more? Naw. You know how this works.
44:1307/10/2024
September 30, 2024 -- The Perfect Hound of the Baskervilles Movie?

September 30, 2024 -- The Perfect Hound of the Baskervilles Movie?

The bull pups of the John H. Watson Society finally had their September meeting and the Hound of the Baskervilles casting draft to pitch the best Hound ever took place.

September 23, 2024 -- Barely Ready To Podcast

September 23, 2024 -- Barely Ready To Podcast

A forgetful host actually remembers to do a podcast at the last minute after forgetting the meeting of the John H. Watson Society. A special guest who wants to not be know for this episode joins the bull pups to discuss part one of Sherlock & Co.'s "Resident Patient." And Watson's literary agent . . . well, he gets his ten percent.

September 2, 2024 -- Watson's Worst Enemy: The Microphone or the . . . ?

This week we discover who might have been John Watson fiercest Canonical enemy, and also address his ongoing microphone issues on his gangster podcast. Beyond that, what might Moriartian forces have done to discredit Watson in 1922? Not going to tell you here, that's for sure!
37:5702/09/2024
August 26, 2024 -- When One Watson Runs Short, The Answer Is Elementary!

August 26, 2024 -- When One Watson Runs Short, The Answer Is Elementary!

If you were hoping for some John H. Watson Society audio already, you might have to wait another week. Somehow the Bull Pups & Co. manage to make talking about a very short episode of Sherlock & Co. run twice as long as the thing they're talking about.
42:1026/08/2024
August 18, 2024 -- How Many Students This TIme, Watson?

August 18, 2024 -- How Many Students This TIme, Watson?

Okay, we're mainly going to talk about the glorious finale to "The Three Students" adaptation from Sherlock & Co., if you can believe that story now has a glorious finale. Otherwise, the usual stuff. Enjoy!

August 12, 2024 -- Who Is Worse: College Watson or Hilton Soames?

August 12, 2024 -- Who Is Worse: College Watson or Hilton Soames?

August 5, 2024 -- A new Treasure Hunt, a new Mary, and then there's Maud

It's August and that means one thing for the John H. Watson Society, and it's not a trip to Scotland to look for jellyfish. Watson news, a very long review of Sherlock & Co's "Lion's Mane" finale, and maybe a touch of harmonica to round out the week.
01:02:4805/08/2024
July 29, 2024 -- Talking Watson in Minneapolis!

July 29, 2024 -- Talking Watson in Minneapolis!

What happens when we take the show to Minneapolis (and a bit of Wisconsin)? Really, not much but some iffy audio. We visit 221B, review part two of Sherlock & Co.'s "Lion's Mane," and report a little bit on the weekend. Not as long as usual, so plan a second activity for when it's done!
31:0328/07/2024
July 22, 2024 -- A Watson Feud and Maud's Marvelous Island

July 22, 2024 -- A Watson Feud and Maud's Marvelous Island

Okay, this episode had very little editing because a certain podcaster is on vacation and just not spending the time. So you've going to get some full-on sound of a John H. Watson Society meeting game and the Bull Pups discussing Lion's Mane part one. Just relax and take it all in, it's a long one!
01:18:2722/07/2024
July 15, 2024 -- We Cut To The Chase!

July 15, 2024 -- We Cut To The Chase!

A little bit of news and we're off to hear the Bull Pups on part three of Shoscombe Old Place, as the week flew by as quickly as John having a car-to-car conversation with Bobby Nob-head. So here you go!
53:4715/07/2024
July 8, 2024 -- Moriarty, You Say?

July 8, 2024 -- Moriarty, You Say?

It doesn't take much to set a Watsonian or a Sherlockian on the trail of a certain professor of mathematics, and last week's Sherlock & Co. definitely triggered the alarms!  But we do mention Watson a few times . . .
41:5508/07/2024
July 1, 2024 -- John Watson Admits He's Not A Virgin

July 1, 2024 -- John Watson Admits He's Not A Virgin

43:0301/07/2024
June 23, 2024 -- A Very American Dancing Men Finale

June 23, 2024 -- A Very American Dancing Men Finale

Okay, let's just admit it -- this is mostly going to be a review of part three of Sherlock & Co.'s "Dancing Men" adaptation. But there is talk of Guy Ritchie's upcoming Young Sherlock series and Watson's Literary Agent's relationship with seals. so there's that. The podcast year is half over with this episode, though, so you still have that to cling to.
51:3824/06/2024
June 17, 2024 -- While Watson's Away, His Agent Will Play

June 17, 2024 -- While Watson's Away, His Agent Will Play

42:5617/06/2024
June 10, 2024 -- Just Give Watson A Vulcan Lyre

June 10, 2024 -- Just Give Watson A Vulcan Lyre

How is Watson connecting with Star Trek this week, and why is he singing? Was that the reason he had (Spoiler Alert!] sex with so many clients? And what was his literary agent up to in 1914? Do you really want the answers? Do you? Okay.
49:5510/06/2024
June 3, 2024 -- The Watson Who Disappeared and Other Shocking Tales!

June 3, 2024 -- The Watson Who Disappeared and Other Shocking Tales!

A little news, a little explanation about Watson's watch from Bull Pup Buck, then it's on to part two of "A Case of Identity" discussion about Sherlock & Co. Will it be what you expect? I sure don't know.
36:1903/06/2024
May 27, 2024 -- The Great Memorial Day Weekend Watson Debate

May 27, 2024 -- The Great Memorial Day Weekend Watson Debate

Many Watsons enter the ring, only one Watson leaves. The John H. Watson Society spends half the show extolling various Watsons, and then the Bull Pups take over the last half of the show and just go on about Sherlock & Co.'s Watson doing so fabulously in his latest episode. ("A Case of Identity"). See if any of those bits change your mind about the greatest Watson out there!
01:10:3627/05/2024
May 20, 2024 -- All Sorts of Fans of Watson On This One!

May 20, 2024 -- All Sorts of Fans of Watson On This One!

This one has it all! Big Watson news, pronunciations of all sorts, some love for Sherlock & Co.'s Reigate Squire episode, a new Moriarty theory, celebrity cricket, and, inevitably, the end of the episode and that point you have to listen to something else until next week.
39:3519/05/2024
March 13, 2024 -- A Squire, a Sister, and a Soccer Goalkeeper

March 13, 2024 -- A Squire, a Sister, and a Soccer Goalkeeper

We're all over the place this week, which isn't that unusual. Attempting to find a movie that connects actor Harvey Keitel to a Watson character? That might be. Venezualan food, a TV show from the mind of a Baker Street Irregular, and Watson's literary agent taking on a grammar school are just a few of the places the pod goes this week, so buckle up and listen in. You'll hear at least one thing you haven't heard before.
37:2913/05/2024
The Bull Pup Hooch Bonus Episode

The Bull Pup Hooch Bonus Episode

What can I say? We just kept talking after the Silver Blaze discussion on the May 6, 2024 episode. So if you really just want to hear bull pups Mooch, Maddie, Starlight, and Calder chatting about random Sherlockian things, including THAT movie, here you go.
30:2706/05/2024
May 6, 2024 -- Watson Goes To The Races

May 6, 2024 -- Watson Goes To The Races

There’s a whole lot of horse race talk in this week’s episode as four Americans try to wrap their heads around a more fully realized adaptation of “Silver Blaze” at the Grand Nationals. If you’d like to see just the sort of race Silver Blaze would have run in, here’s a link that our guest bull pup: https://youtu.be/8q6ewCO4tB4?si=u6nTLvnQPiaKON9T

April 29, 2024 -- Too Tired for a Title

April 29, 2024 -- Too Tired for a Title

Talk of the John H. Watson Society journal, a Watson we don't care much for, Watson having three of something instead of two, and the third part of Silver Blaze's latest modern adaptation is reviewed. And we might all still be recovering from a certain con.
32:2029/04/2024
April 22, 2024 -- Waffles, Artists, and a Whole Lotta Watson

April 22, 2024 -- Waffles, Artists, and a Whole Lotta Watson

Buckle up for a full hour of bull pup chatter, ranging from a new waffle based Sherlockian society, through artists we saw at 221B Con, to the usual goings on about the second part of "Silver Blaze" from Sherlock & Co. The game is afoot . . . well unless you're reading bull pup Buck's copy of A Study in Scarlet. You'll see.
01:01:2822/04/2024
April 15, 2024 -- Another Peripheral 221B Con Report

April 15, 2024 -- Another Peripheral 221B Con Report

While some podcasts use a venue like 221B Con to get some good content, The Watsonian Weekly once again just gets random audio that somehow is just a messy version of our usual show. But we got an episode out!
32:1815/04/2024
April 8, 2024 -- Watson speaks to us!

April 8, 2024 -- Watson speaks to us!

The Valley of Fear, New Zealand, and household plumbing systems -- you never know what you'll find in any of them!  But we touch on each before we spend more time than the show we're reviewing lasts to discuss the second part of Sherlock & Co.'s "Retired Colourman." Arf arf!
40:3808/04/2024
April 1, 2024 -- Just Fools For That Watson!

April 1, 2024 -- Just Fools For That Watson!

It's our April Fool's Day episode, where you just never know what to believe and what not to believe -- oh, wait, that's every episode. It's Watson news, reviews, and random possibly connected bits, as always. Good luck!
34:0001/04/2024
March 25, 2024 -- The One Missing Item on Watson's Breakfast Menu

March 25, 2024 -- The One Missing Item on Watson's Breakfast Menu

I hope you have a good breakfast before you listen to this one. And we talk about a sadder end for Professor Presbury than getting gnawd on by a dog. It's a pretty long episode for just those two thing, I'd think, but give it a go!
37:4125/03/2024
March 18, 2024 -- No Bonobos in this Episode

March 18, 2024 -- No Bonobos in this Episode

We've got bull pups working out Watson's greatest characteristic, we've got bull pup Buck explaining Watson's final fate, we've got bull pups Starlight and Maddie going on about that Watson podcast in the middle of its Creeping. But we don't have is a long discussion on bonobo apes, just one of the big lot of audio that fell to the cutting room floor this week. But don't worry, you're still getting more Watson than you'll need for this week!
41:0618/03/2024
March 11, 2024 -- It's Watson Pizza TIme!

March 11, 2024 -- It's Watson Pizza TIme!

Once bull pup Buck brings up pizza, we just can't stop thinking about it, at least until Sherlock & Co. does its weekly distraction. Hope you have pizza in your future.

March 4, 2024 -- Get Your Hat! It's March Fourth!

Bull pup Buck is back to help us celebrate the most important day of the Sherlockian year, and it's not Hug a Holmesian Day on March 11th! Also, we get a note from bull pup Louie that leads us into the next review by Bull Pups & Co. of the second Solitary Cyclist episode of Sherlock & Co. 
47:0304/03/2024
February 26, 2024 -- Comics and Too Much Three Continents Watson!

February 26, 2024 -- Comics and Too Much Three Continents Watson!

It's an extra long dose of Watson medicine this week, as bull pup Maddie interviews comics guru Joanna Draper Carlson, and then Bull Pups & Company takes John Watson to task for the revelations of his first part of the "Solitary Cyclist" investigation. Also, what was Watson's Literary Agent doing at the scene of the Jack the Ripper murders? And a little John H. Watson Society club business, just to round out the hour and ten minutes. Dive in, the podcasting is . . . well, maybe not fine, but fair! 
01:09:4526/02/2024
February 19, 2024 -- Watson is Mom!

February 19, 2024 -- Watson is Mom!

There's a new Sherlock Holmes fan community going on out there whom Watson has adopted as his own, and this week bull pup Evidently Harmless joins us with the details. There's a new TV show coming that basically puts Watson in a box with Schrodinger's cat for the time being. Why did Watson's literary agent meet a client of Sherlock Holmes in the really real world? And then we get down to talking about the second part of Sherlock & Co.'s "Gloria Scott." And talking. And talking. With a hearfelt moment about Star Wars episode 3, if you're really so into Star Wars that you'll listen to a whole Watson podcast just for that. Come on it, the Watson is fine!
51:1819/02/2024
February 12, 2024 -- The Man Who Might Be Worse Than Gruner

February 12, 2024 -- The Man Who Might Be Worse Than Gruner

Our evolution into just becoming a "Sherlock & Co." fan podcast continues, as we spend a whole half hour talking about a single podcast episode that doesn't last that long -- the first party of their "Gloria Scott" adaptation. Hope you're up for it, because we sure were.
39:0011/02/2024
February 5, 2024 -- Watson's Car and his Rants about the Rich

February 5, 2024 -- Watson's Car and his Rants about the Rich

It's another long commentary on Watson's podcast "Sherlock & Co." and its version of "Red-Headed League," but bull pup Buck still gets in some thought on Watson's Ford and Conan Doyle does something weird with A Study in Scarlet. Fill your ears!
50:0805/02/2024
January 29, 2024 -- The Watson Show Pitch Meeting

January 29, 2024 -- The Watson Show Pitch Meeting

Who was Watson named after? What kind of TV shows could Watson have as the featured character? And where did Watson break into sixteen businesses over the last year or so? You can hear it all on the John H. Watson Society's podcast this week!

January 8, 2021 -- New Year, New Watson Coming!

January 8, 2021 -- New Year, New Watson Coming!

Spoiler! Going to talk a little bit about the same news story on every entertainment site with no new information! Bull pup Buck lets us know about Watson's ongoing love of Chinese pottery, and that's about it. But we'll get back to talking about Sherlock & Co. soon enough!
12:3508/01/2024
January 1, 2024 -- A Watson Worth Fighting For?

January 1, 2024 -- A Watson Worth Fighting For?

We start season six with a gangbuster of an episode because we can't stop talking about Sherlock & Co. and its amazing Watson -- and one of the bull pups is not afraid to offend Martin Freeman fans in praising Paul Waggott's Watson! (Even though Paul doesn't get mentioned by name in this episode. We'll remedy that soon.) Our own Paul, of the Thomas Miller variety, gets into Watson's least favorite client, and do you know who Arthur Guiterman is? Well, he's a poet we'll hear from this week. Start your new year off right with almost an hour of the Watsonian Weekly!
56:0731/12/2023
December 25, 2023 -- The Twelve Days of Watson Begin!

December 25, 2023 -- The Twelve Days of Watson Begin!

In the final episode of our fifth season, the John H. Watson Society does an a capella somewhat musical number, bull pup Buck ponder's Watson's favorite client, a goose poem is ready by bull pup Sherry, and Watson's Literary Agent's belief in a certain red-suited legend is considered. So give it a listen and give us your "Compliments on the season!" because that's what Watson would do this time of year, wouldn't he?
16:2025/12/2023
