Latest Podcast Episodes

Welcome to 2018 and thank you so much for listening and supporting our show throughout its first year! As a special thank you, we thought we'd bring back our very first two guests, James & Michele from THE Doctor Who Podcast to discuss not only the Christmas Special, but also the recently released brand-new definitive version of Shada, featuring Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor & Lalla Ward's Romana.

So sit back and enjoy this ALL Doctor Who special edition of Who & Company!

...and SPOILERS abound for Twice Upon a Time AND Shada! Please watch them before listening and we will see you later this month for our January episode.

Thanks for listening!

In the first podcast of 2018, Phil and Paul turn their attentions to the written word with the Target novelisation of Genesis of the Daleks by Terrance Dicks. In this classic story of the Daleks creation, the lads find much to enjoy but does the fact the TV story is so iconic, it ruins this book? While the pair of them to try to wrestle with this weighty topic, Paul takes it upon himself to ruin this classic story for everyone!

And in the news this week, a few morsels of information for series 11, a narrowly avoided legal dispute involving the name Lethbridge-Stewart, we say goodbye to David Fisher and Bella Emberg and to round things off, an unwelcome trip to Omega's Stats Corner!

It’s the podcast’s 4th birthday and the Five Faces of Delusion are reviewing “Twice Upon a Time”. Along the way, we find a connection between “Box of Delights” and early breathalyser tests, we howl for The North, and we look at the pros and cons of having superfans as showrunners and writers.

"Let's make this baby fly!"

Said the uncool and un-Welsh Welsh rock 'n' roller Billy, who refrains (perhaps disappointingly) from drop-kicking the Chimeron child over the Shangri-La camp's Olympic size swimming pool.

Yes, it's time to take a look at the distinctly odd Delta and the Bannermen, a tale of a baffling bee-keeper, unnecessary Americans, a shot-down stand-up and life-size plastic soldiers with lockjaw.

When will Ray realise that she's barking up the wrong tree? When will Billy realise he's sniffing around the wrong species? Will the Bannermen have a whip round to get Gavrok a barbecue? And can the Flying Pickets achieve further chart success now their leader has been reduced to smoking footwear?

Don't expect to find the answers here as Jim and Martin struggle to decide whether to mark the story hi-de-high or hi-de-low.

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is back, and we are talking about the PETER CAPALDI Era of Doctor Who!  It's the first part of our deep dive into the time when the Doctor was him.  On this week's episode, we do a broad overview, then we dive into ranking his 3 seasons and why (John does a good job of changing my mind in the process).  We then give our own personal top 5 episodes (or 6 in my case, plus, i cheat again and intentionally don't list what i think is the best, just because I know John will pick it, too).  It's 90 minutes of Talkin' Who!  

Next week, we'll dive into some other favorite episodes, missed opportunities, favorite characters and monsters, and anything else we can think of!  

We had a lot of fun recording this and discussing the greatness that is Peter Capaldi and the awesomeness of his Doctor.  We hope you enjoy it!

America has it now too. I think.

This week we’re continuing the whole “Doctor Who sucks and we’re pretty sure we should just shut it all down right now” thing we started last week. Trust us, it’s bad. It’s Fear Her, written by Matthew Graham and aired on June 24, 2006.

Two doctors refuse to regenerate, then get into some scraps, then regenerate after all. It's pretty great.

Steven and Erika finish off “The Faceless Ones” (and thus, Ben and Polly’s tenure on Doctor Who) in one fell swoop. It may not be the best goodbye, but at least they get one—and it’s after a delightful story, so all in all, could be worse.
