Latest Podcast Episodes

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

James, Christian and Brian are back with another podKast, this week discussing just who John Hurt is, and what his “Doctor” might mean to the series.

Yes, it’s more of the 50th anniversary speculation that has consumed fandom over the past few weeks (Matt Smith’s departure aside) and the podKast team certainly have a lot to say on the matter.

As you may know, there are several theories as to who or what John Hurt is playing in the anniversary special. Is he the Time War Doctor? Does he precede the William Hartnell incarnation?

Or is he the Valeyard?

The post The John Hurt PodKast appeared first on Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews.

We bring you May's episode in mid-June, as real life gave both of us a swift kick in the pants last month. Next up is State of Change by Christopher Bulis, a Virgin Missing Adventure featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri. From the back cover:

'In less than 25 years the Romans have invented electricity generation, airships, radio and who knows what else. Is that reasonable?'

Ancient Egypt, 41BC. The Doctor and Peri watch as Cleopatra's pleasure barge glides up the Nile in preparation for her fateful meeting with Mark Anthony. And an alien presence observes the TARDIS, waits for it to dematerialize, then pounces.

When the time ship lands, the Doctor and Peri find themselves in ancient Rome, in the tomb of Cleopatra. But something is very wrong. The tomb walls depict steam-driven galleys and other disturbing anachronisms. The Roman Empire is preparing for a devastating war - using weapons from the future capable of destroying the entire world.

Bulis has written a number of Doctor Who novels, some for the Missing Adventures range, including The Sorcerer's Apprentice, The Eye of the Giant, Twilight of the Gods, and A Device of Death. This marks his first book in the series.

Don't forget that, at the time of this release, Mad Norwegian Press' Queers Dig Time Lords will be available for sale, with an article written on podcasting by none other than our own humble co-host Erik! Buy your copy today! (We already did.)

Matt Smith's leaving Doctor Who, and Mutter's Spiral Podcast is awash in speculation, wishcasting and left-field scenarios for the Fall of the Eleventh and the subsequent regeneration into the TWELFTH. Will has several out-of-the-box ideas, starting with JENNA4DOCTOR12 - Jenna Coleman becomes the 12th Doctor. He continues with 2 variations of a TENNANT SCENARIO that would lead to the return of David Tennant to the TARDIS.

John then leads us through the various contenders mentioned in the press, and he very cogently and smartly sums up what is needed in the next Doctor. After he details the names everyone's saying, he then comes through with two GREAT "out there" ideas, including one so diabolical that it's worthy of Steven Moffat himself.

You'll have to listen all the way through to hear them - in all, it's an hour of Doctor Who chat and speculation. Take a listen and also - tell us what YOU think! Who's your choice for the next Doctor?

This week, Paul and Phil review the 5th Doctor story from the AudioGo Destiny Of The Doctor series entitled Smoke and Mirrors.  In a tale featuring Houdini and the Master, all Phil can think about is how disappointed he was in Adric not receiving a terrible mauling at the claws of a big cat.  However despite this, Phil & Paul have a fairly good time listening to this story read by Janet Fielding.

And in a longer than usual news section this week, the main topic of conversation is of course about Matt Smith leaving the series after the Christmas special, the ridiculous rumours of who will be the 12th Doctor and the Who's He? Podcast gets political by looking at an official YouGov poll on Doctor Who which makes for terrifying reading.

Another week and still no new Doctor Who. The long 6-month wait for the 50th Anniversary Special means speculation about the show's future in the form of the next actor (or will it be actress?) to play The Doctor. But it's not all bad as there are always stats to be had, always new Doctor Who merchandise to be discussed and/or mocked and of course talk of DVDs and just how lucky we are as Doctor Who fans to have the Restoration Team. Featured in this jam-packed episode of Radio Free Skaro is an interview with Michael D. Thomas, who as co-editor of Queers Dig Time Lords, talks about the queer segment of Doctor Who fandom and what draws people to our beloved show. Enjoy!

It's here! Part two of the amazing and captivating interview with Andrew Cartmel, on The Oncoming Storm episode 62! Yes, it's a bit late due to unforseen circumstances, but broken legs, rundown cars, and power mad manager can't keep this podcast down! Josh and Ashley talk a little out dated new before throwing it over to Andrew, as he discusses his work for Big Finish, talks some of his comics work, and tells us all about his new novels. Sit back and enjoy! The Oncoming Storm... Yep nothing different here this week! It's late, and we don't have time to try and be witty!

Follow Andrew!
