Latest Podcast Episodes

To give the impression that there is some rhyme to our reason, Episode 77 just needed to have a story aired in 1977, so there was a smorgasbord of Fourth Doctor and Leela yumminess to choose from.  We like mysteries and we like robots, so naturally we had to turn our sights onto “The Robots of Death”, that madcap little adventure that could be a cross between Alien and a Dick Tracy comic.

There’s talk of Gallifrey past (I missed you, Steve!) and a hint of feedback (thank you, Dr. Phil!).  And plenty of scotch and vodka, although not mixed together.

Shoot feedback to us at tardistavern@gmail.com, “like” us on Facebook (just search for “TARDIS Tavern”, I’m too lazy to copy and paste the link right now), and read Sean bitching on Twitter via @tardistavern.

After the craziness of last week's Calgary Expo announcement (which crashed the servers at Radio Free Skaro headquarters, aka a rusty shack in Surrey, BC), and two weeks after the wild times of Gallifrey One, the Three Who Rule were finally able to sit back, relax, and take in an episode of Doctor Who. And then talk over it. The episode of choice is "The Snowmen", the 2012 Christmas special that caused much merriment amongst most of the masses. Minus Warren, Chris and Steven find time before hand to discuss the news of the week, including the passing of designer Ray Cusick, responsible for one of the most iconic science fiction designs of all time. He also designed the Daleks.

...And hit me with technology!  Like brain chemical sucking machines and steam engines.  But we get into all that this week as we review "The Mark of the Rani".  Ooo, the science!  And some of it is real, historic science, too.

The Untempered Schism Podcast returns to the days of the First Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbra as they visit The Planet of Giants (which might just be Earth) only to find themselves standing eye to eye with a number of insects. Fortunately the bugs are dead, unfortunately it's because of a new and highly toxic pesticide. To make matters worse they arrive just in time to witness a murder, but how much can you really do when you're an inch tall.

We have a review from Brent Johnson of Planet of Giants too, and his podcast – Doctor Who: The Quest is the Quest – can be found at https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id597314146

And as a bonus, we have a quickly mini review of the Second Doctor novel, World Game – http://amzn.com/0563486368

We're continuing our look time of Mr. Peter Davison the fifth actor to take on the role of the Doctor, and our penultimate podcast on his tenure focuses on his third and last season, which in many ways marked a return to form for the series. Join Derek Gladu, Eric Mendoza, Beverly Brown and returning special guest Phil Canon from the Who's He Podcast, as we review 1983's "Warriors of the Deep".

February means Valentine's Day, Gallifrey One, and, of course, zombies. Without further ado, we're proud as peaches to present our release for this month, White Darkness by David A. McIntee. From the back cover:

'We believe that death should always be a part of life.'

The Doctor's last three visits to the scattered human colonies of the third millennium have not been entirely successful. And now that Ace has rejoined him and Bernice, life on board the TARDIS is getting pretty stressful. The Doctor yearns for a simpler time and place: Earth, the tropics, the early twentieth century.

The TARDIS lands in Haiti in the early years of the First World War. And the Doctor, Bernice and Ace land in a murderous plot involving voodoo, violent death, Zombies and German spies. And perhaps something else - something far, far worse.

In what has now become an annual tradition, this episode was recorded "live" at Gallifrey in Los Angeles with a special guest: longtime listener and co-host of The Doctor Who Podcast, Michele.

White Darkness is the first Doctor Who novel by David A. McIntee, who went on to write ten other novels, all in the different ranges of the series, including The Dark Path, which we reviewed back in Episode 8. He also authored some Big Finish stories as well a few stories in the range of Star Trek novels.

And finally, thank you to Siobhan Gallichan of The DWO Whocast and The Flashing Blade podcast for providing this month's reading.

The Oncoming Storm proudly presents the first in our coverage of the 50th anniversary Audios, The Destiny of the Doctor. First up, it's Hunters of Earth by Nigel Robinson. It's read by the first companion of the 1st Doctor, Carole Ann Ford, reprising her role as Susan. This also marks the first time Ashley and Josh have covered a Companion Chronicle style story. That's a whole lot of firsts happening here in Episode 48! Join Ashley and Josh as they settle in for story time, pre Unearthly Child style! Is this type of story telling to their tastes? Find out, as your hosts get to experience yet another first: speculation time! This is no 15 year old storyline, so they finally get to brave the unknown and make (probably incredibly wrong) guesses as to where everything is going! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got an honest to God, good, 1st Doctor anniversary story! I know! I was surprised too!

“The age of man is over, Doctor. The age of the virus has begun.”

Oh dear. Time to run this file through McAfee then?

No. Fret Not. These words are spoken by a giant prawn to a Time Lord, just after exiting his body through his tear duct. Yes, this can only be Tom Baker’s bonkers brain-centric epic, The Invisible Enemy.

Wherein the Doctor and Leela, in reduced circumstances, wander about inside the Gallifreyan’s brain, hotly pursued by a hairy-eyed Hitler. Signs are spelt orl rong, a certain metal dog makes his debut as a violent virologist and a behemoth of a bottom-feeder gets pushed around on a skateboard, presumably in search of a suitably large barbeque upon which to end his days.

Now where did I put that Thousand Island dressing…?

James, Ian and Michele were lucky enough to attend the Gallifrey convention in Los Angeles this year, and now that they have returned to their respective parts of the world they come together again in the Campervan to discuss what they thought of the 24th Gallifrey convention.

Ian and Michele also review the final two stories in the Big Finish Counter Measures box set.

A follow-up to last week's podcast in which we abandon the already rickety format entirely and just bang on about our favourite episodes from 2005 onwards.

We forget stuff because we are rambly old men. Isn't that right, Chesterfield? Chessington. Chesterman.

It's the end of William Hartnell's run as The Doctor, so we take a short look back at his run and answer a couple of listener questions.
