My name is Dr. John Watson, once of the British Army Northumberland Fusilier Regiment, now a true crime podcaster based in Central London. I don't have much experience in criminology, so this is mostly a record of how I met possibly the most brilliant and bizarre person I have ever (and will ever) know. Join me as I document the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. This podcast is property of Goalhanger Podcasts. Copyright 2026. SHERLOCK AND CO. Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Yesterday at 4:00 AM

BEWARE OF THE CHILDREN - We had the misfortune of meeting another third party working as a Detective. He wasn't too thrilled with our activities in the local town. It was then of course time to visit the local High School. All in a day's work I suppose.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY - Welcome to a Study in Scarlet. This is 10 parts. I know. What Sherlock long-thought to be a settled case.. has turned into tracking a killer halfway across the world. I wanted to give you a celebratory 3-year anniversary episode. I'm afraid to say there's not a great deal to celebrate.

HIS TRAGIC SPELL - The contest between Mariana and myself was heating up. The game was on. Such competition - although inconsiderate in the circumstances - spurred our investigation on. To hunt for clues. To find answers. To learn what happened in the death of James Barclay.

IT'S A KINDA MAGIC - Sherlock Holmes woke me with that crazed excitement in his eyes that could only mean one thing: a case. It became clear fairly early on however that this problem was a little too elementary for his tastes. So he made it into a game. John Watson vs Mariana Ametxazurra. Who could win the case and bring home the Crimesolving Cup. There is no cup. But there was at least fierce competition to impress Sherlock. And of course you lot, if you're impressed by such things. #TeamJohn

Introducing: Bear Hunt
Introducing: Bear Hunt episode artwork
09/09/2026

350 British civilians are dead and Russia is responsible. Number 10 hits back as a hapless Prime Minister plays his hand in the age of regime decapitation.
Bear Hunt is a technically rigorous action drama exploring the political manoeuvres, operational challenges and conflict expertise required to assassinate a head of state.


Billed as a British Bourne, this geopolitical thriller pulls listeners into the white-hot corridors of power in Westminster and Washington. To the battlefields where the nation’s best learnt their killing trade. And to the mission itself, deep behind enemy lines.

It was forced, firmly into our lap and we had to solve it in order to defend the country apparently. Yeah that's right. So have a listen and be grateful to your friendly neighbourhood private detective consultancy in future.

THE THIRD MAN - To his credit, Mr. Sherlock Holmes had made a very good point. How could Charles dispose of the weapon or his phone in that lake? How could his ailing son Jack? How could Patience? Who could have thrown the murder weapon and the victim's phone all that way into the water? And why? Stop asking questions and just listen to the episode.

THE KILLING OF THE IMMORTAL MAN - To cut a long story short. Sherlock and I found ourselves at a wellness festival in the Cotswolds. Specifically.. Boscombe Valley. And.. well I don't really know how to put this.. I had a few drinks and may have killed a man. Stress the word: may. In my defence he was really smug and I had far too much to drink.

NIGHTMARE ON BAKER STREET - It's fair to say it had been a challenging few months for a certain Dr. John Watson of 221b Baker Street (that's me). Unfortunately may attempt to soften my trauma with very British behaviour of ignoring it entirely eventually allowed the trauma to manifest itself into nightmares. Never been a nightmare guy. Now I'm a nightmare guy. Not a huge fan. But it does at least mean I get to catch up with Sherlock Holmes during his preferred hours.

For over a thousand years it remained so, all that time had passed.. time had seemed to abundant... yet now, thanks to Harold Latimer's hunt.. there was so little of it left. For Sophy. For us.

GREECE IS THE WORD - I was in a state of repair. Of rest. Of relaxation. Or at least - that's what I had attempted. The downtime was causing a certain flatmate of mine to itch. To fidget. To be so bored and frustrated that he took me to the very funeral of the man I killed.... I went along, sure. But it wasn't my idea.

Apparently antique bookshops and family melodramas are more interesting. Whatever.
