Podcasts about watsonian

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 . . .

Rob Nunn is back on the pod, and bringing second-generation Sherlockian Peter Eckrich with him! Also, Watson's Patreon, Watson's Fingers, a Watsonian's New York weekend, and . . . isn't that enough? More than twice as long as our normal episode!

On this week's episode of the Official Scottish Rugby Podcast, we are delighted to be joined by two special guests: sports commentator and Watsonian's Women's Coach, Bruce Millar and Scotland internationalist, Emma Wassell. Bruce joins Chris Paterson to discuss team performances throughout the FOSROC Super Series championship thus far as well as looking ahead to Round 13 this weekend with competition for a semi-final spot being fierce.  Emma then joins Tom Sole from camp in South Africa to review Scotland's WXV 2 performances as well as her thoughts on the trajectory for the women's game.

There are a few little sound issues at the heart of this week's episode, along with some of that pawky Watsonian humor that might make you wish there were a few more sound issues. But we've got Alisha Shea on Wondering about Watson, and actual listener mail, with a Max theory on Watson's middle name . . . and we don't mean "Max" the streaming service!

What does a Dutch writer have to do with Watson's biggest date night? This episode wanders where no Watsonian podcast has wandered before, since it's the week before 221B Con and we're just a bit mad with excitement. And there's Watson news. So listen!

This week starts off with a report of a swamp-based organization who seems to need to love Watson a little more, gets to Watson's facial hair, and just generally wanders the Watsonian landscape in seach of news and mildly smutty reviews.

For Blue Carnuncle eve, bull pup Calder gives a reading of "A Christmas Goose" by Mary O'Reilly. Gather your Watsonian family around the radio and enjoy!

Better listen closely this time around, kids, as the voices come fast and furious with a dozen guests from the John H. Watson Society. Some talk of whippoorwills and holly, and a little surprise visit from that jolly fellow we adore at the end of our little Christmas parade.

Did I just type the whole description in the title? Pretty close! Walking through the fall issue of The Watsonian, mispronouncing names, and wondering about a few things until the regulars come in and do the real work of the show. Enjoy!

Minute Thirty-Nine: From Loki's Reveal to Hogun's Suspicion Joining us in the Healing Room all week is Jessica Plummer, author and contributing editor at Book Riot. We talk about Hogun the Suspicious and his suspicions. In the thirty-ninth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... It turns out Loki was paying attention to the conversation after all, not just staring at his hand with thoughts of his heritage. We debate Loki's reveal to the group here in the Healing Room. So he told the guard but it was to keep them safe. And like Thor, Loki reveals his royal heritage with the comment about flogging the guard. Hogun's healing massage of Volstagg's arm stops, which may be the sign that he's shocked. It's hard to tell with Hogun. We agree completely with Loki's comments on Thor as a terrible option for king. Why do Thor's friends seem to disagree? Are they just too close? This conversation makes us realize that without all of the happenings in this film, Thor really would've become the party Thor from What If...? show. We debate what Loki's full intentions were. Where is Loki's head in this moment? We truly see the origin story for Loki in moments like this. Loki isn't a full-on evil villain yet but we can see elements of that here now. How much is this frost giant blue element he's seeing in himself that's throwing him off in this conversation? The conversation about flogging the guard also speaks to distract his friends' attention from everything else he's saying. Loki storms out of the Healing Room and Sif, Hogun, Fandral, and Volstagg debate his intentions. Each of the friends has their own reaction to Loki's reveal. Who is right? Their immediate suspicions of Loki make us wonder if Loki has ever been good at manipulating them or is only good at manipulating Thor. Or perhaps their jealousy of their friends with the royal blood shines through here? The Warriors Three and Sif seem as hot-headed as Thor, so perhaps they value this trait whereas Loki sees it as poor for leadership. Hogun's comment speaks to his supposed wisdom and plays with the concept that he doesn't speak much, but it also comes across as a huge leap in conclusions to say Loki or a master of magic could have brought the Jotuns to Asgard. The logic becomes Watsonian vs. Doylist – this suspicion of Hogun's feels like it has to be there simply so these characters are suspicious in the story. Would this scene have played still if they weren't suspicious at this moment? And to that end, how many masters of magic are there on Asgard? Is it just Loki and Frigga? But Odin uses magic too... So where is the line? Regardless, we struggle quite a bit with this leap – even if they're right – because it just seems too much a device by the writers. All in all, though, it's a debate with Loki while in the Healing Room. So much to discuss. Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel's Discord channel!

This week we pay tribute to some Watsonian winners a couple of times, hear a little about Empty House, John Rhys Davies, shipboard marriage, seals, and could a podcast crossover be coming? Listen and let us know.

It's a very special episode of the Watsonian Weekly, at least it thinks it is. But who gets to define "special" anyway? Watson puts on an very surprising cap, bull pup Maddie has a very surprising hope for a Watson, and . . . well, it's a special episode.

It's a holiday weekend at Watsonian Weekly podcast studios, and things go a little off the rails. Recipes, bad science, grieving Watson, and Watson reads about the worst thing to do after you pick up a woman. You're a hearty Watsonian if you make it through this one!

Join Brad, Paul, Margie, Robert, and Madeline on a Watsonian cruise through unexpected waters this week. Keep your harpoons at the ready, because thar a whale of an episode blows, matey!

Want to learn how to use your logical, reflective side in everyday life? It's elementary, my dear listeners! Maria Konnikova, the author of the bestselling Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes is the special guest on this episode of Rationally Speaking. Konnikova has a Ph.D. in psychology from Columbia University and writes about science for publications including the New Yorker, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and more. Julia and Massimo ask her for tips on Holmesian thinking, and debate her on questions like: Is your unreflective, "Watsonian" side really so bad? And did Sherlock make some mistakes in his famous quotes about thinking? Sped up the speakers by ['1.0', '1.19']

You may enjoy hearing some toasts, a Irish John Watson, bisons, or the rising shade against the writer of "Watsoniana," but where else are your going to hear a podcaster that had to fight off a cat during the show? 

Some of us are subtle with mail and things said "joe-cosely," and some of us are not at all, but this is a good week to be bidin' your time with the Watsonian Weekly, if you catch my drift. And if you make it past everything else, you might even find out where the term "Watsonian" first appeared in reference to our friend John H. Watson. So pitter-patter . . .

There's snakes, boxing, caganers, a disappearing Watson, and Watsonians attempting that which must not be attempted. Other podcasts may give you more detailed episode notes, but we . . . well, we don't.

What hath the second meeting of the John H. Watson Society brought to the podcast party? Why so many birds? Bad podcast organization, a good diary entry, and a mysterious movie that only one person is known to have seen? And we had to stop at a half hour for this one, because our Watsonian cup is overflowing!

“the writer was on board of a ship.” [FIVE]  We were inspired by two articles in the Baker Street Journal, some forty years apart. Each made a study of ships' names in the Sherlock Holmes stories.   Of the named sailing vessels, what can we infer from those named after women? Unlike some of the other ships in the Canon, they're not listed in Lloyd's Register. Was it a Watsonian influence regarding the fair sex?  It's just a Trifle.

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!

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!

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!

Have you ever wondered if you were meant for another world beyond this one?  Welcome to the world of the Wayward Children, who get called to adventure in far-off worlds (be it Wicked or Sweet, Logical or Illogical).  In our latest installment COME TUMBLING DOWN by Seanan McGuire, Jack and Jill are back in a life-or-death adventure that only twin sisters can come up with.  Also featured: the breaking point of siblings, DUDE, the eating of kneecaps, Watsonian and Doylist explanations for a narrator, and much more!WHAT'S BEING RELEASED THIS WEEK:DEEP AND DARKEST RED by Anna-Marie McLemoreTHE VANISHED BIRDS by Simon JimenezINFINITY SON by Adam SilveraBURN THE DARK by S.A.

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.

Review of S11 E02 — Ghost Monument Segun Akinola's theme sampled Delia Derbyshire's original arrangement Which was also used for The Day of the Doctor The YW hasn't seen much Three but was already familiar with Venusian Aikido We refer to Watsonian vs. Doylist perspectives The Stenza first appeared in The Woman Who Fell to Earth Andrew Cartmel was interviewed on New to Who  How do you know it's a duck pond? The self-lighting cigar was an example of Chekov's Gun We are also at handwavium.net & on Twitter @handwavium

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Random news from your Watsonian Week Past and Week Ahead! Margie Deck's answer to last week's puzzler! Watson's Word of the Week! Elinor Gray gets into bees, the Watsons of Holmes's later years! "What's Watson On About?" with Paul Thomas Miller! Watson of the Week! More Elinor and Bees, just harder to hear, but worth the effort! And the Watsonian Weekly Wind-up . . . how do we end this podcast?    

  In his first attempt at The Watsonian Weekly, Calder wanders through several topics of the moment, from Queen Victoria to actor Fred Lloyd, with a moment on the word "antennae" in the midst. Rob Nunn drops in for a book review, and Margie Deck offers up a puzzle, which gets put in the otherwise scant show notes.   Show notes:   Certainly not a quitter this one raged bitter— with a ghostly enterprise  revenge came by surprise   

We're talking A BOY AND HIS DOG AT THE END OF THE WORLD by C. A. Fletcher this week! Also featured: memories of middle school, Doylist vs. Watsonian thinking, writing styles to make your professor proud, and much more!(Note: one whole spoiler is given from 8:30 to 9:20, I say "spoiler" a lot before I say anything, but I promise it's not an earth-shattering one!)Click to view: show page on Awesound

This week we talk to organisational psychologist Damian Hughes about his new book The Barcelona Way and how the best teams in the world create winning cultures.

Wynonna Earp S2:E11 - It’s an alternate world without Wynonna Earp, and the Chirpers don’t like it — though the Doc and Dolls relationship is warming the cockles of their hearts. They return to Doylist and Watsonian theory to discuss this Wynonna-light episode that is stressing everyone out. Host Erika Ensign, Annette Wierstra and Kirsten Goruk.

The Nickscast discuss why a man who "died" over one hundred years ago is still popular today: We're talking about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous work, Sherlock Holmes and, more appropriately, its fans, *Sherlockians*. How is it that one set of stories sparked so many different pastiches, re-interpretations and ever more stories? What did fandom look like in the 19th century? What does the fandom look like today? Find out on this week's episode of Fanthropological: the great game is afoot! Next week, we'll be talking about fans of Transformers (The *robots in disguise* variety). Stay tuned! ## Episode outline ### Fandom Facts **Origins:** The world's most famous fictional private detective; first appeared in print in 1887 (in *a Study in Scarlet*).

It's time once again to talk about companions! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we turn our attention to the male denizens of the TARDIS (and possibly its immediate surroundings, though we don't agree on whether that counts). No surprise, the Verity! crew is just as divided as fandom at large when it comes to what qualifies one for "companion" status. But we do agree that male companions add a great deal of value and entertainment to our beloved show, and we want more! ^E Also covered [links on our site]:Erika reads DOCTOR WHO: A Companion's Companion!
