Latest Podcast Episodes

After exploring the depths of "The Underwater Menace", our heroes jump ahead to the current era of Doctor Who to talk about Steve once coined "a generic Capaldi two-parter". That's right, it's "Dark Water" and "Death in Heaven", the dramatic conclusion to one of the most beloved series of the program ever!

Why isn't Dr. Chang Chinese? What's so dreadful about St. Paul's Cathedral? Is Peter Capaldi sexier with the big hair or the short hair? All these questions and more might be answered in our latest episode!

It's the third story in the Key To Time series, Stones of Blood, that we're reviewing this time out. It's our favorite of the Key to Time stories and we've been looking forward to picking it apart.

Before we get to that, tho, the hot weather has our rabbits running for cooler temps in the form of the new fall TV shows here in the US. With nothing newsworthy (in our opinion) going on with Doctor Who, we feel obliged to indulge in a bit of that sort of rabbit chasing.

10 years! That’s a whole lot of talking by three jaunty Canadians about a British television program of little repute by the name of Professor Whom. But after a smattering of news, the Three Who Rule move quickly on to an extended series of interviews with the fine people with whom we’ve shared our podcasting adventures with, including: Ken Deep of Podshock fame, Deborah Stanish, Katrina Griffiths and Erika Ensign of Verity!, Chip Sudderth of the Two Minute Time Lord, and Simon Harries, John Williams and Neil Perryman of Tachyon TV! Phew! Here’s to ten more years of meandering drivel from Canadian interlopers who have no right to talk of Britain’s televisual crown jewel!

Every planet sends one chef, we decided to send Gordon Ramsey.

As we draw nearer to the end of the season, we decide to race some ships in outer space. Additionally, we say goodbye to… the Black Guardian, for now that is. It’s the conclusion of the Black Guardian trilogy with Enlightenment, written by Barbara Clegg and aired in March of 1983.

Once again, the TARDIS returns to 76 Totter’s Lane, but in 1985 contemporary London. While similar to the next time the Doctor will be back, the old foe he meets now are the Cybermen, and they have a most diabolical plan that could change the course of history – both in the Doctor’s past, and our future.

Mike and Justin journey to the palace of Kublai Khan to complete the serial 'Marco Polo' with the episodes "Mighty Kublai Khan" and "Assassin at Peking". Topics of discussion include: plot movement, the attempt to get everyone out of an idiot plot, oh so many inns, the truly impressive court of Kublai Khan, the Doctor finally getting good characterization, trips to random desert oasis's, the joys of backgammon, the sudden resolution of numerous plot lines, Tegana's final incredibly stupid stand, oh shit run the episode is over.

On this belated episode, I indulge in some Andrew Cartmel love, I lament a bit about my current state of Moffat-Hate-Fatigue, I feel far too many feels discussing 'Husbands of River Song', I rant a bit about the show's portrayal of Rose and her relationship with the Doctor (contrasting it with River and the Doctor's relationship, natch), and I even embarrass myself quite a bit by uncharacteristically tacking on some small boopers/outtakes at the end of the show (despite my perfectionist side screaming in protest!).

So, I really do hope you all will join me for this episode and, as always, glad to have you all aboard. Enjoy the ride!

This episode, Hayden is joined by podcasters Steven Schapansky and J R Southall as they discuss arguably one of the most divisive entries in the 007 f*****ise – 1969’s “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. Hear the guys on George Lazenby, Kojak on skis, the many faces of Campbell, the blondest man in the film and JR telling off Hayden for using a modern term for the word ‘womaniser.’ They are even abruptly pod-bombed by a Bond girl…

Hello to you and welcome to episode 103. Light on news so it’s a good job we’ve got plenty of chat plus our review of the 12th Doctor’s story Listen. Shhhhh…

The News

If you STILL haven’t been to the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff there’s now another reason to get yourself there. They’ve just added the restored 4th/5th Doctor’s console! It’s beautiful and well worth the visit to see it close up.

Merch

We reported ages ago that Peter Davison was putting out an autobiography but it disappeared from our radar. It’s now back and with a new title – Is There Life Outside The Box? An Actor Despairs and will be released this October.

“Listen” Review

We’re back watching “attack eyebrows” this week as we dive into a very divisive story. Scary and creepy or smoke and mirrors? We’ve plenty to talk about with this one. Shhh….

That’s it for this episode and thank you for listening and those of you who commented and sent in clips, we really appreciate it. It’s back to classic Who next week with our review of the 4th Doctor’s story The Talons of Weng-Chiang and we’d love to hear your thoughts on that. Until than have a great week and remember – Allons-y!!

This week, we watch Mel Brooks attempt to polish a turd as we watch "Solarbabies".

*YAWN* So tired. After days of driving and all nighters playing games, The Oncoming Storm is back from vacation. And honestly, no one is really feeling up to podcasting. You might say, we're all... Sleepy.  Ok, Ok, bad jokes aside, Josh, Jeff, and Rachel are here in episode 180 to discuss SLEEPY, our latest New Adventure by illustrious author Kate Orman. This one does not, however, focus on everyone taking sweet, wonderful naps. No, it's the real start of the Psi Powers series, and so we have a colony world on the brink of destruction from the spontaneous development of Psi powers everywhere! And only the Doctor and his companions can stop the evil corporations from enacting their plans and killing everyone on sight. There's also some timey whimey shenanigans going on, and lots of talking computers. And Doctor torture. Well, it *is* Kate Orman. All this, and Rachel tells us about the first half of The Legends of River Song short story collection. Josh promises to be quiet. The Oncoming Storm... this time, we've got a lot of bleeding eye sockets. Like, a LOT.
