Doctor Who is back on the 23rd of August with a brand new Doctor, Peter Capaldi. So in true Whocast style, we're regenerating too, with our (more like tattered, rather than brand new) hosts.

VerityExtraBFWriters210We at Verity! often jabber on about Big Finish, but this time we thought we'd let some experts do the jabbering for us. Join Deb, Erika, and Liz (who is actually one of the experts in question) as we chat with a couple special guests. Yes, we have not one, not two, but three Big Finish writers in the house! Una McCormack makes an overdue return, and we're delighted to welcome Caroline Symcox to the podcast!

If you've ever been curious about what the Big Finish process is like, this is the Extra! for you. And if you have a favorite BF audio, do tell us in the comments. We're always all ears for recommendations (and specifically, recs for where to start)!

Also, do you like free stuff? Well, then be sure to enter our Big Finish giveaway! Three people will win download codes for three different stories (Breaking Bubbles and Other Stories, The Council of Nicaea, and Starborn [by Jacqueline Rayner]), and a fourth lucky winner will win codes for all three!

Twitter entries are preferred: use "#BreakingBubbles from @bigfinish" to enter! If you're not on Twitter, we'll accept comment entries here as well. (No other social media though. Two entry sources are enough to comb through. Wouldn't want to miss anybody!)

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

How excited were we this week to welcome onto the podKast a man with a voice like a god, who also doubled for David Tennant in various RTD-era Doctor Who episodes including Voyage of the Damned and Journey’s End?! Say hello, dear listener, to Colum Regan, musician, extra, double and novelist, who is here to talk about just how he became the Doctor’s Double as well as his upcoming book The Fly Guy.

Along with joining us discussing the Doctor Who Series 8 news, Colum helpfully explains just how he went from working as a musician to standing in for David Tennant! It’s a fascinating story, spanning Weevils and Kylie Minogue, and we’re sure you’re going to enjoy listening to it as much as we did.

Colum Regan will have his first book out later this year, “The Fly Guy” and we’ll also hear from him about that.

Oh, and he has a deep, booming, god-like voice. We mentioned that above, but feel it is worth repeating.

The Kasterborous PodKast theme tune is arranged by Russell Hugo. He’s got the magic fingers, you know.

There are several ways to listen. In addition to the usual player above, we're pleased to announce that you can also stream the podKast using Stitcher, an award-winning, free mobile app available for Android and iPhone/iPad. This pretty much means that you can listen to us anywhere without downloading - pretty neat, we think you'll agree! (Note that it can take a few hours after a new podKast is published to "catch up".)

What’s more, you can now listen and subscribe to the podKast via our Audioboo channel! Head to http://audioboo.fm/channel/doctorwhopodkast and click play to start listening. You can also comment and record your own boos in response to our discussions! Meanwhile you can use the player below to listen through Audioboo:

You haven't clicked play yet?! What are you waiting for? As well as our new Stitcher and Audioboo presence you can also use one of these amazingly convenient ways to download and enjoy this week's podKast.

1. Use the player in the top right of the Kasterborous home page, or visit the podKast menu link.
2. Listen with the "pop out" player above, which also allows you to download the podKast to your computer.
3. You can also take advantage of the RSS feed to subscribe to the podKast for your media player, and even find us on iTunes, where your reviews will help the show considerably.

Adam, Debbie, Kirby and Mary review this fourth Doctor classic plus feedback and You Won't Get This One.

The Hooie boys are joined by Josh Zimon from ‘Mostly Harmless Cutaway and The Memory Cheats’ to discuss Doctor Who news and review the Tom Baker story, The Horns of Nimon.  They guys chat about the story, the direction of the show under Script Editor, Douglas Adams and how uncomfortable it is for David to hear anyone other than John Leeson voice K9.  All 3 go over the DVD extras and comment on a small collection of Listener Feedback emails.

Two thousand years! That's how old The Doctor is now, as stated by the Twelfth in the latest trailer and as implied in his predecessor's swan song, "The Time of the Doctor." That's a pretty huge leap from roughly 900 years old at the start of Steven Moffat's showrunnership. Is it a fair leap when you consider the assumed ages of his predecessors? Or is "fairness" even a fair issue?

With the blood of yet another guest host on their hands, our brave hosts seek refuge at an all too familiar restaurant and exchange witter banter about nothing.  After that's done, they focus their attention on the Second Doctor romp "The Enemy of the World", in which Patrick Troughton dons black face and a questionable accent.  Order a big salad, be the master of your domain, and listen in as they talk about whether this is a brilliant gem of a story or one better left undiscovered.

Remember to look for us on Facebook and email us at tardistavern@gmail.com.  You can also follow Sean on Twitter via @tardistavern and Steve via @tardistaverntit.  Email us audio feedback and we'll award you with unlimited rice pudding.

On this weeks edition of the Who's He? Podcast they've gone beige with an audio commentary for episodes 1 and 2 of Castrovalva.  During the dissection of this story, they bravely try to bring you facts of the day of original broadcast and make Tony play the guess the ratings game.  The lads are also fuelled with wine which causes Phil to make a rather naughty comment!

And in the news, they catch up all the leaks from the BBC, news of a BFI showing of Deep Breath and in Omega's Tat Corner, action figures that seem to get worse the more they make.

With San Diego Comic Con looming, roving Radio Free Skaro reporter Warren Frey took it upon himself to interview Andrew James, the editor of the new Doctor Who range at Titan Comics. James spilled the beans on SDCC plans, a Doctor Who Day promotion across the U.S. and the U.K. and much more, but first…a massive (one could even say Titan-ic) amount of news. From the leak of Deep Breath (or a somewhat unfinished version of it, anyway) to action dolly news, Big Finish updates and more, the Three Who Rule were overwhelmed by an avalanche of information. And all this without an official Doctor Who panel at Comic Con! Madness. Pure madness.

Russell T. Davies, bless his heart, gave us the Time War in an attempt to get away from those meddling Time Lords.  What he really gave us was the biggest retcon in all of time and space.  As the summer rolls on, we explore that clash and some of its implications.   Gallifrey is calling…

Opening song: "London Calling" by The Clash, from the album London Calling.

Review

Having played all 5 episodes of season 1 of The Wolf Among Us, Amaechi gives his final score and how it compared to Telltale’s The Walking Dead.

"You may be a doctor but I'm the Doctor – the definite article you might say."

A statement of intent from the fresh and dewy Tom Baker in his first ever story, Robot.

As well as being introduced to the boggle-eyed Bohemian, we continue the Adventures of Sarah Jane Smith, politely clap Benton's latest promotion and discover what the Brig does with his car keys (and more) at the weekends.

If that wasn't exciting enough, we also meet a crazy-haired professor, an unusually silent politician, a camp Neo-Nazi and Dennis Waterman's Hitlerian ex-wife – not to mention the limp-wristed tin man of the title.

So does the first Bakerian era start with a big bang or a wimpy whimper? Listen in to find out what Jim and Martin make of it all.

Join Dave aka Monts and Barry aka Nuge as they once again set out to bring the sass back to geekdom in the latest episode Geek Syndicate.

Join us next week for our review of Doctor Who serial #24, The Celestial Toymaker!  We invite you to follow along by watching this serial before the podcast.  Only one episode survives in video format, but the soundtrack is available from Audible.com.

On the thirteenth edition of Reality Bomb, we're celebrating the first anniversary of this podcast in style by featuring a special Gallery of the Underrated where NPR Books editor Petra Mayer talks with Graeme Burk about The Happiness Patrol. Also we talk to Lori Steuart and Lindsey Mayers about the new trailer for series 8 and about the allure of trailers in general and we interview Mike Doran (twice!) about the leaked scripts and then the leaked episode 1. And Alex Kennard commemorates our first year by talking about Doctor Who podcasting and how you can join in (with contributions by a number of podcasters). All this plus listeners letters and the Doctor Who adult video most fans want to see!

The Hand of Fear

Adam, Debbie, Mary and Kirby chat about Sarah-Jane's leaving story and You Won't Get This One returns.

There is also feedback and news.

A difficult show for those of us at Traveling the Vortex. The passing of Elisabeth Sladen in 2011 was very difficult for many Doctor Who fans. It was especially had on those of us who were first introduced to the series during her tenure on the program.

But, this week we look back with fond memories about the actress and the character she immortalized in Sarah Jane Smith.

Also, our thoughts on the latest trailer for Series 8.

And of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Mentioned in the show:
(Re)Generation Who:The Doctor Who Celebration for Every Generation

Rampaging Rassilon! They finally came out with a Series 8 Trailer! Well you can bet buttons to boots that we’ll break it down and try to extract everything we can from it like a dollar dentist on a dare! And we do. We also take a fan suggestion and do a run down of some of the trippier episodes well suited for when you’ve got the munchies. So grab your bag of Crunch ‘n Munch and trip out with the circus of oddities that is the Arrow of Time!

Dave's choice for our Book Around You segment is Stanislaw Lem's Solaris, which doesn't have nearly as much George Clooney as it sounds!

And for all you WhoTubers the WhoTube for this episode is “Doctor Who – The Twelve Doctors” by MysteronAgent : http://youtu.be/W8C56MrjJJE
