Outro music is SPECIFICALLY Nicki Minaj's part of "Monster"

Well folks, making a podcast can be a tricky thing. The Oncoming Storm is no different. Sometimes you have technical problems, sometimes you have disagreements, and sometimes, only in the rarest of circumstances, you roll snake eyes, and NOTHING goes right. For Josh, Ashley, Rachel, and Jeff, this is that night. Episode 168 is trying to give you the latest news, and discuss Pier Pressure by Robert Ross, Night Thoughts by Edward Young, and The Diary of River Song Vol 1. And all of those things are there, it's just... well you'll have to hear for yourself. Oh, and FYI, we think we've censored all the cursing, but we're still marking it explicit, just in case. We can only hope that when the fandom civil war starts, it's not our fault. The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got bleeps. A whole lotta bleeps.

Knocking on wood has many meanings. It is a way to let someone know you're at the door. It can be a way to snag some extra luck. It is also a divisive episode of Doctor Who, at least amongst Joseph, Matt and Gabe. We probably cover almost every possible opinion of "Knock, Knock," including an existential look at the title itself. Please have a listen and let us know your hot takes on the episode.

For this week, Matt found a Who Tube from asecooper222 called “Breathe Me”: https://youtu.be/Fiyahjmr8-k

What have the Romans ever done for us? According to Boudica not much as Phil and Paul review the 4th Doctor Big Finish story The Wrath of The Iceni. In this story of ancient Britain and the rebellion against the empire (the Roman one that is), Phil and Paul have a little disagreement of their own as both have opposing views on this story and on the Doctor! So sit back and listen to two old gits who most likely had first hand experience of the Roman occupation.

And in the news, Steven Moffat gets an OBE, a series 9 teaser trailer, San Diego Comic Con tat that didn't make it into Omega's Tat Corner and John Nathan Turner gets his own bus.

And Phil now refers to you all as fans, not listeners as his ego runs rampant.

The Four Faces of Delusion hold the inaugural meeting of the Diddly Dum Book Club by reviewing the New Adventures novel “Conundrum” (1994) by Steve Lyons. We also take advantage of the linking theme to review the Second Doctor story “The Time Robber” from 1968.

Before that, Hayden looks forward to taking the TARDIS Tour at Cardiff next week while Matt reminisces about the game of Tour Guide Top Trumps which ensued when the TARDIS tour guides found out what he did for a living.

Along the way, we discover why Matt’s plan to attend a convention cosplaying as DCI Jack Meadows was frustrated; Doc explains the usefulness of “The Faraway Tree” for getting children to observe their bedtime; we learn how the root cause of all Ace’s character problems is that she’s more Morrissey fan than street fighter; and we end by asking are the days of conventions numbered?

Terrance Dicks drops in briefly to settle an argument over Spiridon and Exxilon. And we challenge politically correct censorship by asking the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything – shorts and sweaters for Enid Blyton’s kids or jeans and sweatshirts?
