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.

Was the host of this podcast awakened at 4 AM by a cat trying to knock down French doors? Does it start to show in the quality of the podcast? Well, thankfully we have some loyal contributors to fill in the gaps and cover that bare podcast floor with that beautiful floor covering of our regular segments. 

This week's show wanders all over the place with plenty of news about Watsons who dance, Watsons who glance, and Watsons who make romance. In other words, the usual.

The host may fumble and bumble a bit this week, but you'll definitely get all the Mary Morstan Watson this episode. She's Watson's valentine, and, well, why not? Also, visit Academicasaurus sometime, if we haven't mentioned it already. You'll hear why this episode. https://academicasaurus.wixsite.com/home

It's Nigel Bruce's birthday week, and we'd believe that he'd do that to toast! Also, another doctor in detection, an educated book review, a word that is raspy but not delilvered so, a poem, and another guy Watson didn't seem to like at all. And bridge. It's Watsonian Weekly time!

This week there's a whole lot of news about Watson's, Mopsy whispers a word, Buck finds a new Christmas beverage, Samson spies Watson's French connection, and Calder is always fascinated by anyone who gets to eat breakfast at Baker Street. All that and more (There's a robot!) so give us a "View-halloa!" and listen in.

It's our first annual Watsonian Weekly Watson Awards show! All the things you'd expect from an awards show with a lot less! And, as always, all about the Watson!

Who was the guy Watson just found a waste of space from first sight? Just finding out is unpleasant. But you can toughen up with an iron constitution first and relax with Ian Fleming when it's over. All that, and maybe we see if the Mandalorian really needs a Watson. Or maybe not. But it's mostly about Watson, as always!

The new year starts with a few changes to the Watsonian Weekly, but a bit of a rush job, so you might have to forgive a bit. 

This is it! The end of this decade of Watsonian Weeklies, with a bunch of news, a different take on Mrs. Watson's needlework, Dr. Dover, and some out-takes from our "Blue Carbuncle" adaptation. Say good-bye to the 2010s like a Watson!

For our holiday special, the Watsonian Weekly regulars and a few special guests perform "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" in a remarkably straight, if variably acted, adaptation.

How many ways are there to celebrate your holidays in a Watsonian fashion? Well, this week you might get to hear one way NOT to do it. Also, we get an unwanted shag, an update on the rights to copy, and all those other odd bits Watson inspired, but may not approve of.

This week Watson has all sorts of vices, including mentions of the movie "Holmes and Watson." Will you be missing the Frozen Pirate when it's over? Only the next quarter hour of your life will tell!

Find out which Watson might have had the largest moustache of all the moustached Watsons, as well as the mystery of what the boy did in the night-time, the end of sailor Paul Rodney, and all the Watson news of the week that we could come up with, including such important bits as a Facebook page changing its photo. BUT IT'S WATSON!

There's a holiday giddiness in the air as we approach Thankfullness Day in certain countries, but that doesn't stop the Watson news and infotainment!  James, jackets, Jules Tassard, and just about everything Watson you can handle to start a festive week!

Several Watsons pass on, but hopefully not the one the podcast is about. We try to cheer you up with talk of spoons. There's a Watson that Watson could have actually met. And the unfrozen pirate isn't looking so good. It's just another watluck of Watsonian watttage to fill your wattle! Enjoy!

There's a self-partnering Watson out there, but John H. Watson is still the most remarkable Watson we know! Not placing great odds on his wife, though, as you'll hear this episode, along with a novel food preservation technique, and two seamen getting drunk!

Though the host be stumbling, the Watsonian Weekly marches on like the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers past a Russian ballet. Tigers and brandy and pirates, oh my! And a surprise Watsonian picks our word of the week!

As wide-ranging an episode as ever, the Watsonian Weekly stands firmly with Paul Thomas Miller's assertion that Watson does not lie, wonders about Watson's Halloween costume with Robert Perret, and rages against Sherlock Holmes hogging all the titles. And there might even be the return of a certain old prospector and a moment for one of film's rejected Watsons. Come, join the Watsonians!

It's a slim episode this week, as we await new books from our prime contributors just after the Portland trip, but there's still a few matters of Watson to talk about, massive tomes, trees, a Dock, and getting some of his friends together. 

Tim Johnson's presentation from the Left Coast Sherlockian Symposium on Sunday morning, October 13, 2019 gained him a standing ovation from the hundred or so in attendance, and this is the one recording of it we were lucky enough to have, made by @221bCrow and not originally intended for podcast release. We hope you can excuse any taps, clicks, audience sounds, etc., and just enjoy the lovely content Tim provided for us that Sunday.

Watsonian adventures in Portland make for a weary, random podcast, but at least we have Paul Thomas Miller keeping the tiller of the good ship Watsonian Weekly steady. More Watsonians than we've ever had on a single episode before, though, so . . . quantity over quality? You decide.

Couldn't be in Portland, Oregon on October 13, 2019 to hear the talks at the Left Coast Sherlockian Symposium? Here, at least is the final one from Sunday's program, or, at least, the rehearsal for it, so you can get in on some of it. The Left Coast Sherlockian Symposium, like most of such weekends, was a great time, and you might want to try getting to one, as the range of presentations was impressive.

It's live and raw podcasting from poolside in Portland, with all the wind, microphone moving, and kid-yelling-from-the-balcony you could want, with a host of Sherlockians from up and down the Left Coast.

The Mrs. Watson discovery, the shingle of Southsea, Watson's missing time, a whole lot of hemming and hawing about a particular word, and IT'S LESS THAN A WEEK UNTIL PORTLAND!

All sorts of odd Watson business this week . . . including our first commercial? Say it ain't so! The results of the John H. Watson Treasure Hunt are finally in, and so is the good doctor!

Watson learns a trick, we debut "Clark Russell's Sea Story Minute," a hot new book review regarding a doctor of Sherlock Holmes, a lot of other things, and just who is Constance Adams?

We're all over the map this week, hitting Watson's reading habits, his uses of a word used in a couple types of  . . . ahem . . . recreational activities, a particular sort of egg, and random other bits. Oh, and Watson almost kills young Hitler and stops WW2.

Will Robert Downey Jr. be coming to an attic near you? Who was history's first Watsonian of the Year? Is this another one of those episodes where the host gets really weird? All the answers lie within.

Among this week's Watson-work, his rugby days, noiseless laughter, the original Watsonians, S. C. Roberts, AND IT'S WATSON TURKISH BATH DAY!!

In the final week of the John H. Watson Society's Treasure Hunt, the theme shows of August takes an Old West turn . . . and John H. Watson may not be the same. 

We're in week three of the John H. Watson Society's Annual Treasure Hunt, and you need a real motivator to push you through it. We look John Watson's role as a soldier for inspiration, but that doesn't go quite as well as planned.

In the second week of the John H. Watson Society Treasure Hunt, things are starting to get a little scary. Also, we hear from that far-off land of Minnesota, and the weekend's symposium there.

If August is the time for the annual John H. Watson Society Treasure Hunt, you know the Watsonian Weekly has to go all in on that theme for at least one episode. But Rob Nunn still gets in an Adventuress book review, Robert Perret educates on Queen Anne Street, and Paul Thomas Miller reveals some Small secrets. Prepare your ears for this one, matey!

Even though the main track was completely re-recorded, our reports from Mopsy, Sampson, Misty and Buck all survive intact, and we actually get an e-mail on the current episode before the episode comes out. Heat, bees, sponges, and lots of Watson!

Paul on Holmes helping, Robert on Bart's, Rob on yet another good book, and Brad is all over the place. And then the East wind blows.

The podcast is joined by an entire Sherlock society, The Parallel Case of St. Louis, for a bit of Watsonian triva and a new game called "Four Watsons."

A lot of John H. Watson Society business, with Paul Thomas Miller and Robert Perret adding to the mix. Does three JHWS members constitute a bull pack? We'll wait to hear from the head office.

We get a gathering of Watsons especially for Pride month, a Jezail bullet review, a review of the year review, a review of an Irene Adler review of Watson, and Watson behaving badly. 

Watsons, beekeeping, and Baskerville, along with a wide assortment of background noises to demonstrate how far we will go to report for you here at The Watsonian Weekly.

A very full episode with Destiny's report on the Scintillilation, two very different views on smoking Shipp's from Sampson and Buck, a book from Beacon, a word from Mopsy, and Calder just goes on about that "very stupid friend" remark from you-know-who. And if you don't know who, listen to the podcast!

This week, someone buys tea. Also, what that "lighthouse" thing about Mrs. Watson really meant, Geordi LaForge Watson, Watson's word of the week, and . . . well, it's kind of a light week. Don't try to fill a long drive with this one, unless you're going to replay it over and over and over, and if that's the case, don't be driving in the direction of this summary's author, please.

All sorts of Watson news and upcoming events, as always, along with Rob Nunn reviewing the latest issue of The Watsonian, Paul Thomas Miller going Huret, Frances Hay Moulton reads from an old newspaper, and even some listener mail!
