Latest Podcast Episodes

Concluding our "Eleven Doctors" series, we chose not to beat a dead horse and review a story which has already been beaten to death by every other podcast.  Nevertheless, the rules state we must present you with a podcast about an Eleventh Doctor story, thus we bring you "The Ring of Steel."

"The Ring of What?" you say?  Well, once there were these things made out of paper, and the paper was usually sandwiched together with bits of carboard.  On the papers were words, and when read in sequence these words tell a story.  In fact, I'm told that many of the things we see on television or the movies originated as the these strange paper-word-story things.  It just so happens that there are quite a number of these stories -- they're call books, by the way -- that have been published over the years by the BBC and one or two other companies that are actually Doctor Who stories.  That's right, brand new original stories...like watching a version of the show but it's all on paper and you can recreate the details in your imagination.

However, we at The TARDIS Tavern do not have time for reading...who can concentrate long enough when you drink yourself to sleep every night anyway.  But it just so happens that many of these stories have been released as audio books, the most recent being The Ring of Steel by Stephen Cole (and read by Arthur Darvill, who plays Rory).  And that, my dears, is what we will be talking about today.

Oh, and we have some very good feedback as well, the best of which we're saving for last.  Plus we announce the winner of our "Abominable Snowmen" contest.  For Episode 27 we're having some more guest bartenders, so keep a vigilant ear out.

In this, the penultimate Radio Free Skaro Classic Series Commentary for the summer, the Three Who Rule lucked out with the second segment of the four-part trilogy known as The Trial of the Time Lord. Lucked out, you may well ask? Well, yes, for all three hosts were fairly unanimous in their praise of Mindwarp, and the Trial season as a whole, firm in their belief that Colin Baker's tenure as The Doctor has been unfairly maligned over the years. Disagree? Listen to the commentary to see if you will be swayed...

Right then. Let's be clear on this. yes, Tony DOES have a rant about.... spiders. yes, Tony DOES have a rant about banks. However, he and Bob DO talk about the 7th Doc play, The Architects of History. And for fans of Gerry Anderson, there may well be a little treat. Oh, and never, EVER recommend an Ultravox album to the show. It will all go very wrong, you just know it....

My better half takes the controls of the TARDIS to reflect on River Song — and thinks that the payoff to the character's mystery will have to be huge.

In this special episode we're joined by Alec Worley (King of the Future Shocks) and Jon Davis Hunt (Tempest, Transformers, 2000AD Cover Artist) to discuss their upcoming project "Age of the Wolf" which kicks off in prog 1700.
Along the way we also get into why Aquaman isnt crap (apparently), if it's possible to know the difference between G1 and G2 Transformers and still have sex with a real girl, and discuss just HOW weird Al Ewing really is.
Also lurking in there are some good tips for writers and artists looking to get their first break into the world of comics.

Last April revealed some major challenges for the Hurricane Who convention, with some guests reporting that they had not yet been compensated for their October appearance and were unable to contact convention head Jarrod Cooper. (I reported on these events, which were first made public on the Gallifrey Base forum, in 2MTL #125.)

In this podcast, Jarrod calls in for an extended interview in which we discuss what happened, his efforts to satisfy Hurricane Who's obligations, and his hopes for the convention's future.
