Latest Podcast Episodes

Ah, the Cybermen. Their convoluted history was neatly sidestepped by Russell T. Davies when he introduced parallel-universe counterparts in Series 2 — but have those Cybermen been quietly ushered off the stage?

In this week’s episode we take an “evening newscast” look at things as we review the remarkable Torchwood: Children of Earth mini-series. We go almost step by step through the monumental television event that changed the series and mood of the Whonivers on the whole.

Also, a bit of serendipity, (or perhaps we just channeled our inner fortune tellers powers) as Dr. Phil points out that CERN is about to announce the Higgs boson or “God Particle” has been found. A bit spooky, huh?

Plus, a look at other things making news in Doctor Who including some speculation on a possible start date for Series 7.

And of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: It was brought to our attention that the feed was not updating yesterday (thanks Dr. Phil). The problem should now be resolved. Sorry for any inconvience this caused our listeners.

UPDATE 2: Here’s David Warners IMDb page, for those interested, we forgot to post it…

A bumper crop of news highlights this week's episode of RFS as the ramp-up to the new series of Doctor Who continues. San Diego Comic-Con talk, BFI premieres, and several new toys that will be filling the toy boxes and bookcases  of child and middle-aged nerd alike. And to top it off, we present our commentary of The War Machines, the 1966 serial that introduced us to the character of "Doctor Who" and a rather far fetched notion of computers connecting to each other across the world into some sort of an international network. There's nothing quite so dated as our vision of the future, is there?

It's audio commentary time and this month it's the turn of Paul McGann in Doctor Who: The Movie.  However, Tony was late to the recording as he hadn't had his dinner (and you don't want to be in the same room as Tony when he's hungry) so Paul and Phil cracked on with the news without him, which took all of 5 minutes as it was a very slow week for news.

Eventually Tony turned up and they got on with the task in hand.  In this episode you will find Smurfs, little known facts about Paul McGann, Popeye The Salior Man and the hazards of transporting free range chickens.

Rassifans!

Harry and Leeson are back, and this time it’s personal. Well, when you’re broadcasting from a converted en suite toilet there’s little option other than to get personal. So, join the boys as they cram themselves into a space which is smaller on the inside, and welcome back Radio Rassilon to your earpods.

Adam J Purcell, ‘Fake Keith’ and the Real Keith Dunn sit down, quarantined, in front of the Babylon 5 second season episode, Confessions and Lamentations, and spout our usual nonsense!

Dr Franklin is needing stimulation, Lennier’s wearing his chef’s hat and the Markab are feeling a touch unwell… But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy Confessions and Lamentations...

This month we bring you yet another selection from Lance Parkin, this time a Virgin New Adventure: The Dying Days. From the back cover:

6 May 1997

The Dying Days of the Twentieth Century

On the Mare Sirenum, British astronauts are walking on the surface of Mars for the first time in over twenty years. The National Space Museum in London is the venue for a spectacular event where the great and the good celebrate a unique British achievement.

In Ardisham, Kent, the most dangerous man in Britain has escaped from custody while being transported by helicopter. In Whitehall, the new Home Secretary is convinced that there is a plot brewing to overthrow the government. In west London, MI5 agents shut down a publishing company that got too close to the top secret organisation known as UNIT. And, on a state visit to Washington, the Prime Minister prepares to make a crucial speech, totally unaware that dark forces are working against him.

As the eighth Doctor and Professor Bernice Summerfield discover, all these events are connected. However, soon all will be overshadowed.

This time, the Doctor is already too late.

The novel is unique in that it is the final Virgin New Adventure before they lost their license to publish Doctor Who books. It's doubly unique in that it is the only New Adventure featuring the Eighth Doctor, so it's a respite from the machinations and manipulations of Doctor Seven.

This is the third novel we've read by Lance Parkin (The Infinity Doctors and, of course more recently, Cold Fusion), and we both agree that he's an ambitious writer. We're looking forward to see what he can do with a story that is, on its face, not dissimilar to a Torchwood episode.

Another month, another episode from the intrepid peeps at Telos AM. Or so we say. This time, Nick, Julian, and Alex talk integrative sexualities in Doctor Who - how the wide and endless sea of sexualities beyond heterosexuality has been represented throughout the series. To aid them in their discussion, the team have focused on The Curse of Fenric and A Good Man Goes to War.

Tune in next time for more exciting fun from the Telos AM team, and thanks for listening!

The Eight Doctor returns to the The Untempered Schism, but this time by way of an audio adventure. Charley and the Doctor have found themselves in a strange house on Christmas Eve, but things are stranger than usual. Someone is killing the staff of the house only for them not to stay dead, time keeps looping back over itself and every time the clock chimes things get just a little bit worse...

Well, we come to the end of our memorable journey through Iceworld, with this, the commentary track for Episode 3 of Dragonfire.

And who better than to bring you to its epic conclusion that Leeson and Ian?  The boys guide you though face melting, deaths, companion swaps and bewildering little girls who have no meaning to the plot.

We hope you have enjoyed our romp through Dragonfire this week.

he quarrelsome Northerners are joined by MOMBCAST stalwart James falling in behind the Eagle standard to dissect and consider the alternative histories of Rome and the Roman Empire. Inspired by the History of Rome podcast they march in a less than straight road through:

* The Punic Wars (including the alternate history 'Hannibal's Children)

* Roman history as a game of Total War
* The Porous nature of Rome to people and ideas

* Why couldn't the Greeks get their act together?
* School nativity plays and the Dallas and Dynasty appeal of the Julio-Claudians

* Agrippa the Immortal

* The fickle survival and destruction of Republics and Monarchies
* Why not to let Commodus run & ruin your Empire.
* The Marian reforms and the dangers of a professional miltiary (with thanks to Will Self.)
* They debate irresistible nature of monotheism and Time-Travelling Popes
* Mad Max and the fall of the West

* Julian the Apostate (Our hero, he's dreamy, titter yee not!)

The opportunity arrived for another of my famous or should that be infamous audio diary episodes, the occasion this time was the fifth anniversary of the Staggering Stories podcast. This basically led to a mad adventure in the Staggering Mobile, not sure which one of us was Scooby Doo, all the way to Cardiff and a few other places too. Had we all remembered how far away Wales is some of us wouldn't have had such an adventurous journey home!

End Theme this week is The Staggering Stories original theme by Tony now Siobhan Gallichan.

Whilst Doctor Who, Ian Chesterton and the girls, Vicki and Barbara wait anxiously in the wings, Siobhan sits in her garden and babbles about the Staggering Stories' Cardiff tour and the comings and goings of companions. For someone who has just celebrated her fifth anniversary of being a podcaster, she really should know better....

Episode 15! Ashley and Josh are back and enjoying the velvet tones of Nicholas Courtney as they review their next Big Finish audio, The Spectre of Lanyon Moor, by Nicholas Pegg. This combination of Nicholases is joined by Colin Baker and Maggie Stables, and Ashley and Josh couldn't be happier. It's time for a traditional story, and for once, Josh is loving it! Listen to the debate on the Brigadier's flirting, Goblin noises, and your run of the mill megalomaniacal madman, all on your latest episode of The Oncoming Storm. The Oncoming Storm... This time, we have goblins! Goblins, unicorns... when are we gonna just have some plain old conquering aliens???

On this week's episode of The Memory Cheats, Josh and Steven appear to disagree on the merits of The Invasion, the official debut of UNIT into the world of Doctor Who. Unquestionable classic, or a shaky step forward into the Earthbound era to come?
