Latest Podcast Episodes

This week the lads bring you their first audio commentary in 5 months and it's for Ghost Light!  This of course means the return of Tony to the podcasting gang, who brings his usual blend of facts, bewielderment and ignorance.  What I am trying to say is that he hasn't changed a bit!!  However, after a 5 month break from providing an audio commentary, Phil, Paul and Tony realise they may have made a mistake in selecting this story and begin to struggle heroically with it, while Tony uses the opportunity to ask the listeners questions simply because he can't be bothered to look up the answers himself.  And during the course of the commentary, it slowly dawns on Phil that he doesn't really like Ghost Light.  Heretic!!

And in the news this week, the tickets for the 50th Anniversary Convention finally go on sale, the BBC shelves any further plans for 3D projects after the 50th anniversary and in strange news of the week it is revealed that Michael Jackson and Bill Cosby were considered for the role of the Doctor in a 1980's proposed Hollywoodisation of the show.  Shamone!!

The Three Who Rule went west to Westercon this week, special guests of the 66th edition of one of the longest running science fiction conventions in the world. Much fun was had, much sun was enjoyed, and all three of the RFS hosts were very active on a variety of panels throughout the weekend. One such panel devoted to the history of Radio Free Skaro is presented in this episode, in which the past seven years of RFS podcasts are recounted, the highs, the lows, from humble beginnings  to the recent triumphs of today (what other podcast has had a commentary of Delta and the Bannermen, we ask you?). We hope you enjoy our introspective look at a podcast that we truly do enjoy producing every week to hopefully entertain and distract you from your minor inconveniences.

We can't bring you the food or the drink but we can bring you an uncut version of the evil off and a flavour of what it was like to be Flashing in The Park. BTW if I had been able to ask my question in the Evil Off it would have been "You both look pretty scary to me, so bearing that in mind, Who is first against the wall when the revolution comes?"

It's been put off long enough. The Oncoming Storm return to the New Adventures in episode 66! Everything looks different around Oncoming Storm HQ. There are tropical plants EVERWHERE, and  we're not sure, but there may be a plesiosaur in the bath. Is it some world altering event? Nope, it's just Blood Heat by Jim Mortimore! And while they may not have the special edition version of the story to talk about, Josh & Ashley think this week's book is already pretty special! Join them as the discussion turns to the effectiveness of parallel world stories, the Brigadier's bloodthirtyness, and ask, "Should there have been another way?" The Oncoming Storm... This time... yeah ok, it's dinosaurs. You knew it, we knew it, no point in trying to be clever.

In which we fill your metaphorical inboxes with all the drunk Who talk you can handle.

In this third installment, Danica has another very important message for the kids, some sex stuff happens with David Tennant, and Brandon picks a fight with Hugh Laurie probably. Also, we stick to the format and discuss "World War III" (the fifth episode of series one) and "The Shakespeare Code" (the second episode of series four) before rolling into some Buffy talk, which may or may not get sad because: "The Body". Yeah, you're getting a wide range of drunks this week. Enjoy!

Apparently it's book season at Verity! For this week's Extra we bring you yet another book review. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we discuss what we thought of the latest of the "geek chronicles" from Mad Norwegian Press, Queers Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the LGBTQ Fans Who Love It.

As you may expect, we don't agree about what types of essays we like best, but we do agree that this is an excellent addition to anyone's Doctor Who nonfiction library. If you want to check out one example of what you can find in it, take a gander at Rachel Swirsky's "The Girl Who Waited (for the Guidance Counselor to Get to His Point)". Though as we point out, the essays in this book run the gamut, so there's something for everyone!

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.

Without Brian this week we decided to bring in a guest to balance things out a little bit, and who better than long-time friend of Kasterborous, Vworp Vworp! editor Gareth Kavanagh? He’s on hand to give us his own insights into the Colin Baker/Starfury debacle, the seemingly endless missing episodes rumours and to make a suggestion about who he would like to see as the Twelfth Doctor…

Naturally, he’s also only too happy to tell us about some of the shows he is involved with the production of in the coming weeks as part of the Greater Manchester Fringe, including works by Nigel Kneale (Quatermass) and Keith Temple (Planet of the Ood).
