Latest Podcast Episodes

WE'RE BACK!  After a short hiatus, during which we read a book and ditched all efforts at trying to record our discussion of it, we decided a change is as good as a rest and tackled a new selection, The Last Resort by Paul Leonard.  As is our annual tradition, we recorded "live" from Gallifrey One in Los Angeles, but due to circumstances beyond our control, Erik (for the first time ever in The Doctor Who Book Club history) was unable to join us.  Instead, Sean is joined by our friends Felicity Brown and Jeff Elston as we discuss the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventure The Last Resort.  From the back cover:

'I think time and space just fell apart.'

Anji isn't sure, but then it's hard to be sure of anything now.  Good Times Inc. promised a new tourist experience, with hotels in every major period of human history - but that kind of arrogance comes with a price, and it's a price the Doctor doesn't want to pay.

As aliens conquer an alternative Earth, Anji and Fitz race to find out how to stop Good Times without stopping time itself.  But they find that events are out of control - they can't even save each other.  And when the Doctor tries to help, it gets far worse.  At the Last Resort, only Sabbath can save the day.  And then the price gets higher...

You may remember Paul Leonard from the Virgin Missing Adventure Dancing the Code, which we reviewed back in Episode 44.  He also brought us Speed of Flight, Toy Soldiers, and Genocide.

In this episode, the guys review The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, discuss a few non-Doctor Who things, DVD Extras, Marty’s engagement and read Listener Feedback Email. David joins Marty’s Big Finish obsession as both Hooies review separate BF audio adventures, one featuring Tom Baker’s Doctor and the other Sylvester McCoy!

This month we take another look at the work of Steve Lyons; specifically, The Witch Hunters, a BBC Past Doctor Adventure featuring the First Doctor, Susan, Ian, and Barbara. From the back cover:

The Reverend Samuel Parris, Minister of Salem, follows three strangers in the forest beyond the village - a forest which is traditionally believed to be the source of much evil. He hears movement through the trees, steps forward and makes a terrible discovery. It is one which will change life in Salem forever.

The TARDIS arrives in Salem Village, Massachusetts, 1692. The Doctor wishes to effect repairs to his ship in peace and privacy, and so his companions - Ian, Barbara and Susan - decide to 'live history' for a week or so. But the friendships they make are abruptly broken when the Doctor ushers them away, wary of being overtaken by the tragic events he knows will occur.

Upon learning the terrible truth of the Salem witch trials, Susan is desperate to return - at any price. Her actions lead the TARDIS crew into terrinle jeopardy, and her latent telepathy threatens to help the tragedy escalate way out of control...

The Witch Hunters is one of only two purely historical adventures that we know of in any of the ranges (The Roundheads by Mark Gatiss being the other). Although it was not his first published Doctor Who book, it was the first that Lyons wrote, and he kept it "on ice" until its publication in 1998.

Sit back with a nice pail of filthy prison drinking water and relax as we talk about The Witch Hunters!

The Untempered Schism goes all the way back to the beginning this week. No, not to The Unearthly Child, but back to The Beginning, where Susan recounts her and her grandfather’s flight from Gallifrey. Except they didn’t flee entirely alone, didn’t make it all the way to Earth the first time, and by the time we catch up with them in Totter’s Lane, the TARDIS is a lot older than anyone thought.

As Steven dips further into cricket insanity, a factor leading to his inevitable emigration to India could be the fact that Doctor Who will soon start broadcasting there for the first time. How can he possibly resist? Or perhaps a trip to New York to see the Symphonic Spectacular in October? One thing we can all agree on is that you should all journey between the pages of You and Who: Contact Has Been Made Volume Two, which contains writing from both Steven and Warren! And, and AND! As if the previous nonsense wasn't enough, we have not only an interview with "Kill the Moon" writer Peter Harness, but also a commentary for that self same episode, featuring Phil Cannon of the Who's He? Podcast! The mind boggles!

Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com

It's hot-seat time again! And this time it's Tansy's turn to get grilled. Join Deb, Erika, and Lynne as we ask Tansy all kinds of questions--some about Doctor Who, many not!

Do you have thoughts about Tansy's answers? Let us know in the comments!
