Earlier in the year Dave and I caught up with Mark Valley the star of the hit US show Human Target.

Thanks to my computer dying I thought I had lost the interview (we lost dave halfway through the recording as you will hear) but after a whole lot of tinkering and some luck I've manged to recover the interview for your listening pleasure.

Be warned this was recorded before season 2 aired so there's not a lot of questions on season 2 although we do get to chat briefly about what Mark believes we can expect from Chance in season two.

Earlier in the year Dave and I caught up with Mark Valley the star of the hit US show Human Target.

Thanks to my computer dying I thought I had lost the interview (we lost dave halfway through the recording as you will hear) but after a whole lot of tinkering and some luck I've manged to recover the interview for your listening pleasure.

Be warned this was recorded before season 2 aired so there's not a lot of questions on season 2 although we do get to chat briefly about what Mark believes we can expect from Chance in season two.

We are unusually excited and honored (or should I say "honoured"?) to be joined by Adam and Alicia from The 20 Megabyte Doctor Who Podcast as we review "Partners in Crime."

This one is a little different.  For those of you that have listened to 20 Megabyte, it consists of father-and-daughter team Adam and Alicia snapping and irritating the hell out of each while Adam tries earnestly to talk Doctor Who.  This, however, is all lost on Alicia, who uses podcast recording as time to catch up on Facebook or take a nap.  This may not sound like your cup of tea as far as Doctor Who podcasts go, but we here at The TARDIS Tavern have been die-hard fans of Adam and Alicia since near their beginning.

This lastest edition of our podcast will not fail to entertain fans of 20 Megabyte.  Alicia actually contributes quite a bit, possibly in an attempt to brighten her reputation as The Great Podcast Sabetour (insert dramatic music here).  Adam gets just a tiny bit drunk (er, I mean "pissed") and Sean and Steve can barely get a word in.  Trust us, folks, this is a good one.

For more information on The 20 Megabyte Doctor Who Podcast, check out their website here: http://the20mbdoctorwhopodcast.podbean.com/.

No feedback this episode.  Stop being such a bunch of haters.  Send audio or email to tardistavern@gmail.com.  Plus join us on Facebook or follow Sean on Twitter: @tardistavern.  We know you love us, right?

Ow! It's the lucky Thirteenth episode of The Cloister Room, a podcast about Doctor Who and other things. This episode is coming at you a bit late, as you'll soon learn if you give it a listen.

The wait is over. The time is now.

The Teen-Titans of the Geek Syndicate Network have come together in a bumper sized two-part special of podcasty goodness. Celebrating the Christmas holiday in traditional fashion the Troublesome Twosome from Dissecting Worlds and the Questionable Quartet from Scrolls cast off all pretense of being rational people, get drunk and play stupid party games. A little too much is revealed about some, more questions are raised about others and at least one fabulous song is brutally murdered before your horrified ears.

Skits, Christmas messages, insults from a famous guest-host and limericks from an actual fan round off the VERY BESTChristmas Crossover special on the GSN that we have ever made, EVER (or your money back).

Apologies in advance to the makers of Just A Minute, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Mornington Crescent for the outrages we have committed in Part 1 - I'll let Kehaar do the grovelling for Part 2.

Here are some made up quotes from some real people -

'All my christmas wishes just came true. I particularly liked Saruman's letter to Santa.' (C. Lee)

'Imagine taking something you really like and, and adding something else you really like to it, and mixing them up all together and then WHOP! dollopping them out onto two plates. Well that's like this innit. But in your ears.' (J. Oliver)

'It's like, the best idea ever dude.' (K. Reeves)

'Laugh? I nearly shat!' (W. Shatner)

'It's the worst idea in history.' (S. Schama)

David and Marty begin their quest for the segments of the Key to Time, with Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor, Mary Tamm as Romana I and K-9.

Dr. Phil's Shownotes:

In this episode we will look at his work on Serial 5A - Story 98 - The Ribos Operation, a 4-part story which originally aired between the 2nd of September and the 23rd of September 1978 on BBC One.

We'll be back soon with a REAL new episode. This episode is just meant to explain our recent absence, and also provide a bit of light amusement without any real substance.

The Pandorica Opens was the focus of most of this episode of Radio Free Skaro, thanks to a light news week. Good thing, too, as Pandorica was another triumph from Series 5, featuring many power mad conspirators - Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen - gathering together to fight their greatest enemy, The Doctor. Such a visual feast put the Three Who Rule in danger of becoming transfixed on what they were watching, but they managed to mostly steer clear of the silence for the time being. Ah, yes. The Silence. More on that next week...
