Latest Podcast Episodes

What you are about to hear is the story of a connection, a connection that was made between a television series and a viewer's life.

The You and Who books are the story of that connection, as told by the people who watch the programmes that make us come alive. Chiefly, of course, Doctor Who.

This podcast will relate some of the stories from those books... and beyond.

In this episode:

'Here's to the Future: Delta and the Bannermen' by Christopher Bryant

'Shoplifting with the Doctor: Stolen Apples and the End of the World' by Tony Green

With an intermission featuring Rob Irwin talking to JR Southall.

The You and Who books, from which all royalties are paid to charity, are available in print and for Kindle, from watchingbooks.weebly.com

Find Rob on Twitter @theDWshow and JR on Twitter @JR_Southall

The Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Adric go off to explore a strange alien planet and immediately leave Tegan alone to have her mind infested by a mental monster. It's not all fun and games though as the Doctor is being a bit silly and Adric gets to play solider for a little bit. As for Nyssa, she's spending this adventure sleeping in the TARDIS.

Series 10 is going along nicely and we’ve really enjoyed the first two episodes so far so does Thin Ice give us 3 for 3 or do we feel left out in the cold.

Okay folks. We're hours away from our local convention, Wholanta, and we don't have a lot of time. So lets's do this quickly. Yes, this is episode 198 of the Oncoming Storm. No Jeff isn't here, so you're stuck with Josh, Ashley, and Rachel. Yes, Josh is an idiot, and this is actually the 56th New Adventure, not the 57th. Yes, that means it's So Vile a Sin by Ben Aaronovitch and Kate Orman, the notorious "6 months late, sorry you had to find out about that big surprise in another book" book. No, we won't ruin the surprise here, just in case. And yes, Big Finish did release some big news the day after we recorded. The Oncoming Storm... this time, we've got 99 Doctors but Roz ain't one.

Doctor Who is BACK, and so are we!

This week Jennie and Ben discuss the newest season and episode 1, “The Pilot’

This is a Spoilers episode so don’t listen if you’re not caught up to Season 10, Episode 1!

No matter how often the current incarnation of the Doctor tries to convince us he's a big meanie, the human-loving truth always comes out. "Thin Ice" fully displays this M&M like quality, showing the Doctor to be brittle on the outside, soft inside and subtly sweet in the end. This week, we discuss all this and a lot more that may or may not be related to this episode, Doctor Who or even this universe!

For this week's WhoTube, Matt found “Doctor Who | A Doctor or A Warrior” by user GrayzeTV – https://youtu.be/vpJI5Froxl0
