Latest Podcast Episodes

Join Heather "Kip" Maloney and Michelle "Knickers" Talkington as we discuss this week in Doctor Who News and upcoming DVD and Big Finish releases.

We never explained how Al, Doc and The Rev escaped the supernatural attack at the Devil's Hump dig in the closing seconds of Podcast 010. Counter-intuitively, given the Doctor Who connection, the resolution is even more thrilling than the cliffhanger. However, explanations must wait as this week we find our podcasting heroes very much the worse for wear.

All those weeks visiting iconic drinking establishments from Doctor Who lore have taken their toll on the livers of The Diddly Dumbers. On medical advice, the Three Who Drool have retired to Llanfairfach in South Wales for an intense course of detoxification at The Nuthutch.

Wracked by delirium tremens, the Diddly Dumbers see visions of creepy crawlies running all over the house and their thoughts turn naturally to instances of giant insects in Doctor Who. Listen in as, between restorative nibbles at Nancy's homegrown fungus, the boys reminisce about the Zarbi, Menoptera, Venom Grubs and Optera from The Web Planet, the Wirrn from The Ark in Space and the Tritovores from The Planet of the Dead.

The Diddly Dum podcast thanks anyone we've pinched stuff from and respects the copyright of etc etc.

It's the last week in May, which means it will soon be June! And you know what that means!?! If you answered "The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield  is coming out!", then you must either work for Big Finish, or be Josh. In his excitement over the impending release, Josh has taken over the subject matter of the podcast, and it's all Benny, all the time! This week, that means a return to the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip in the days where Benny graced it's pages. That means it time to talk about Emperor of the Daleks, by Paul Cornell and Lee Sullivan! In a linking of continuity you wouldn't believe, this comic shows everyone how Davros went from being arrested by Daleks to leading his own faction of Imperial Daleks! Which wouldn't be complete without a visit to Spiridon of course! Ashley, Josh, and special guest Jeff Polier also take some time to answer what old comic concept or character they'd like see return to the strips! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got two Docs, a Daak, and the loveliest archeologist ever to grace Doctor Who!

In which Danica is surly until the Peach Schnapps kicks in.

In this week's episode, we have some more Torch-words about Torchwood, as Brandon visits "Countrycide" (Series 1, Episode 6) and we both check out "They Keep Killing Suzie" and "Random Shoes" (Episodes 8 and 9). One of them leaves you empty as you ponder the inevitability of death. The other leaves you hopeful as you ponder the inevitability of death. Torchwood!

Bonus note: You should listen to The Listmakers. Yes, yes you should.

Outro music is "Sing, Sing Sing (With A Swing)" by Louis Prima

Join us next week for our review of Doctor Who serial #17, The Time Meddler!  We invite you to follow along by watching the serial before the podcast.  The region 1 DVD is out of print, so you can buy it from Amazon, but it’s very expensive.  You can rent the DVD from Netflix or stream the serial from Hulu Plus.

The Romans

Adam, Kirby, Debbie and Mary discuss this story from the William Hartnell era plus feedback, eBay, news and You Won't Get This One.

On today's episode, we're asking loaded questions about the impossible girl herself, Clara Oswald! Does she remember the Doctor in all of her lives? Is being an 'impossible girl' really such a good thing? Also, what does David Tennant have to do with birds? Find out on Episode 12!

In this short but sweet episode of Hoo On Who, the Hooie men sit down to discuss The Chase.  Ian and Barbara’s last adventure with William Hartnell’s Doctor.  David and Marty talk about the story at length, cover DVD extras and read listener feedback emails.  The guys also share exciting guest announcements for this November’s L.I. Who and plug their upcoming appearance at Knoxville’s Fanboy Expo this coming weekend!

Who and plug their upcoming appearance at Knoxville's Fanboy Expo this coming weekend!

Doctor Squee and Dottie Who welcome their first guest companion: author, journalist and a Doctor Who fan who was there to watch the first episode. We talk about how Doctor Who is as much a rebel as a show as a character, sitting down to watch that first show and how the Doctor saved so many of us from being an accountant and how it inspired so many of us.

It's another listener-participation Extra! You asked us questions. We answered! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we briefly chat about the 16-second series 8 teaser and then dive into your clever questions. We had a lot of fun recording this one, so thanks to all the listeners who participated! If we didn't get to your question here, perhaps we will in a future Extra! You never know...

Also, Lynne would like it known that she meant to say she'd sacrifice "The Twin Dilemma" rather than "Vengeance on Varos". What would she sacrifice it for? Listen and see!

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.

It’s the full podKast team this week as Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova look at the recent news and discussions in the world of Doctor Who. We’ve got chat and speculation about Series 8 and the role of the volcanic island of Lanzarote, a return to the podKast for The Horns of Nimon, speculation on Colin Baker’s possible casting in the new Star Wars movie and the curious film reel of The Wheel In Space episode 3 that appeared on eBay this week.

If all of that wasn’t enough, we also get sidetracked on several occasions, not least by the difference in names of toys and TV shows between the UK and USA, and in what may become a weekly thing, Christian manages to squeeze a mention of his favourite group Led Zeppelin into the podKast.

Hit play to get started!
