    9 June 2020 (1:54pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 57 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    This week, we round out Season 20 with THE KING'S DEMONS! A quick two-parter that doesn't feel all that quick. We have 13th century England, sword fighting, The Master in disguise, an original song, and a shape-shifting android! Sounds like a total recipe for success, right? Well, you'll have to listen to the episode to get the deep and dirty on our feelings for how Doctor Who wrapped this anniversary season.


  • Episode 192: Enlightenment OR The Great Space Race

    3 June 2020 (1:46pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 5 minutes and 44 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    This week The Black Guardian Trilogy concludes with ENLIGHTENMENT! The Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough land on what appears to be an Edwardian era ship. Well, it is...but it’s in space. You know, as you do. Our team finds themselves as part of a race between a bunch of Eternals who’re cosplaying as sea-going types and borrowing humans from throughout time in order to achieve Enlightenment! But who set the race in motion?! The answer will be (not surprisingly) enlightening! Be sure to rate & review and please share us with friends!


  • Episode 191: Terminus OR Alignment Maneuvers in the Dark

    26 May 2020 (1:56pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 37 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    This is it, folks...we've reached TERMINUS. Not the end of the podcast, no that's not for quite some time. Just the 5th Doctor episode that sees the departure of Nyssa, the continued whining of Tegan and Turlough, and the appearance of the cryptid Dogman...well, it's called The Garm here. This week we take a look at this story along with an absolute tonne of Big Finish news and some really rather obscure references! Join us, won't you?


  • Episode 190: Destiny of the Daleks OR I'm In a Glass Tube of Destruction

    19 May 2020 (2:14pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 1 minutes and 7 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    The Doctor and Romana find themselves, inadvertently, on Skaro centuries after he was last there (insert cross-reference to Genesis of the Daleks here). Both the Daleks and the Movellans (who appear to have escaped from a Buggles music video) are trying to find a very cobweb covered Davros way down in his base. Why are they both trying to find Davros? What can he possibly offer either group? The answer may well determine the DESTINY OF THE DALEKS!


  • Episode 189: Carnival of Monsters OR Honey, I Shrunk The Doctor

    12 May 2020 (2:05pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 2 minutes and 49 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Hot off the heels of his adventure with his prior two selves, The Doctor (along with Jo) land on the SS Bernice (not Metebelis 3, I promise you) in 1926. Well, sort of. The answer turns out to be far more bizarre as we meet Harry Sullivan’s doppelganger, some Drashigs, journey to the center of the miniscope, and get taken for a ride on the Carnival of Monsters! Join John and Taylor as they review the second story of Season 10!


  • Episode 188: The Enemy of the World OR Quarantine Underground for 5 Years

    6 May 2020 (1:47pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 55 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    This week we're joined by Justin Quizon to watch THE ENEMY OF THE WORLD! And we were all blown away by the scope and execution of this amazing adventure! The Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria land in Australia, 2018 where Ramon Salamander is slowly but surely taking control of the world. It just so happens that The Doctor looks exactly like Salamander and what follows is a globe-spanning adventure of intrigue, double crossing, and multiple layers of awesomeness. Did we mention this was all done in 1967?


  • Episode 187: Vengeance on Varos OR It's Crazy. It's Cruel. It's Varos!

    28 April 2020 (1:59pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 28 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, they can't all be zingers. And Vengeance on Varos is no zinger. As a dark, bleak, dystopian adventure, this story falls a little flat and relies on a bit of handwavium at times. There are still, however, some prescient takes on culture, decent effects, and Sil. He really steals the show! This week, we close out the 6th Doctor's televised adventures with Vengeance on Varos!


  • Episode 186: The Time Warrior OR A Longshank Rascal with a Mighty Nose

    21 April 2020 (2:00pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 3 minutes and 29 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Call it serendipity or synchronicity, but on the anniversary of the passing of Liz Sladen, we just happened to choose to review THE TIME WARRIOR which saw (among many things) the introduction of Sarah Jane Smith! We dive into this story and really enjoyed the rollicking adventure that it provides! Grab your tights and a flagon of mead and let's talk about The Time Warrior!!


  • Episode 185: Ghost Light OR Everyone's Going to Java

    14 April 2020 (2:02pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 15 minutes and 16 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    LIIIIGHT! Yes, this week we review the final 7th Doctor story (that we haven't reviewed yet) with Ghost Light! They certainly tried to pack a ton into a three-episode story. It comes off as a rather bonkers story that's mostly mystery for an episode and a half and then goes properly off the rails as an alien entity grapples with something every Doctor Who fan has to accept: change. And not a moment too soon, amirite? Join us as we stare at the sun with Ghost Light!


  • Episode 184: Paradise Towers OR Build High for Happiness

    7 April 2020 (2:18pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 12 minutes and 11 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Last week, John said he needed some 7th Doctor in his life and PARADISE TOWERS is just what the Doctor ordered! We sit down and review what starts as a rather bonkers little story that definitely has some dark turns within! Cannibal grannies, anyone? Not to mention some absolute bangers (literally!) from Pex! So grab a can of fizzy pop, throw on your favorite color (only if it's blue or red), and join us as we travel to the top of Paradise Towers!


  • Episode 183: The Space Museum OR The Sort of Silence You Can Almost Hear

    1 April 2020 (1:59pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 8 minutes and 58 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    This was undoubtedly the story in which Barbara encapsulated all of Doctor Who for all time: "All the Doors and Corridors are Exactly Alike." Indeed they do! But this week John & Taylor took a tour of THE SPACE MUSEUM! They were impressed by its high concept and how the story kept you guessing well into Act 4 if our TARDIS crew were changing history or stuck being part of it. Join us as we grab a pamphlet from the front desk and make our way through The Space Museum!!


  • Episode 182: The Five Doctors OR One-Punch Brig

    24 March 2020 (1:06pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 16 minutes and 32 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Sorry, Marvel fans, THE FIVE DOCTORS is the most ambitious crossover of all time. It just is. The sheer number of characters and cameos in this story (that doesn't even belong to a season! It's a Children in Need special!) boggles the mind! This week, John & Taylor delightfully devoured The Five Doctors and were in awe of its scope and what it did to expand Doctor Who lore/canon! Not to mention all the stuff that had been planned for it. So escape the current situation and join us for one helluva ride!


  • Episode 181: The Face of Evil OR Glove Hat! Baby, Glove Hat!

    18 March 2020 (2:11pm GMT)

    Direct Podcast Download

    Are you self-isolating comfortably? Then we'll begin. Yes, it's our first episode in what feels like two years (but has only been two weeks). We spend the first part of the episode catching up and looking at our new reality (probably more episodes!) and the dive into the debut of Leela and the fantastic story THE FACE OF EVIL! Join us, please! Share us with friends (at a safe distance, of course) and stay safe in the meantime!


  • Episode 180: The Timeless Children OR A Brief History of Gallifrey

    3 March 2020 (2:11pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 37 minutes and 51 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    There we go, there's season 12 of Doctor Who. And what an ending we had! Regardless of how you (or fandom) felt about it, there's no denying that there have been some amazing changes, a whole lot more back story over which to mull, and LOTS and LOTS more questions! John & Taylor dive through the boundary and into The Timeless Children. What worked, what left us scratching heads, and what do we make of the questions posed to us! Come join us for the adventure and give us your thoughts!


  • Episode 179: Ascension of the Cybermen OR Don't Squeeze the Ko Sharmin

    25 February 2020 (2:16pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 33 minutes and 18 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Friends of a Whovian flavor, what in the name of Blinovitch is happening?! For the first time in a very long time, John and Taylor are a bit lost as to having a feel for what's coming next. It could literally be anything, at this rate. So we break from our regular format this week and spend more time looking at the details and speculating ourselves silly trying to figure out where things might be headed next week! SPOILER WARNING! If you want to avoid a little bit of potential spoiler chat, skip from about 1:13:00 to about 1:18:10.


  • Episode 178: The Haunting of Villa Diodati OR Look On My Works, Ye Mighty, and Despair

    18 February 2020 (2:12pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 4 minutes and 18 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    We're coming down off Gallifrey One weekend and spend a little time recapping Day 3 of Gally before diving into THE HAUNTING OF VILLA DIODATI! A shape-shifting house, ghosts, the macabre, animated hands, and one single solitary Cyberman on a mission! Join us as we review possibly our favorite episode of the season (tied for first at the very least)!

    Direct Podcast Download

    Can You Hear Me? Can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Yes, it's a Mike & the Mechanics reference, but we also want to make sure you can hear us talking about the latest episode of Doctor Who: CAN YOU HEAR ME? From 14th century Syria to modern day Sheffield, an immortal is giving people the worst kind of wet willie and stealing their nightmares! Generally, a good thing...but he's using them to feed his friend who's trapped in a crazy bubble! Can Team TARDIS put their finger on the answer, save the day, and defeat the Eternals?!


  • Episode 173: Praxeus OR The Trash Heap has Spoken! Nyahhh!

    4 February 2020 (2:12pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 3 minutes and 35 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Microplastics are everywhere! It's true, look it up. Now what if that plastic was infested with an alien virus brought here by aliens using us and the planet as a giant petri dish? You'd have PRAXEUS! Another pretty good episode that suffered from having to follow a massive episode. Join John and Taylor--and special guest host Terry--as they break down the story at hand and work to make sense of the things that made less sense.

    Direct Podcast Download

    NIKOLA TESLA'S NIGHT OF TERROR! Yes, Doctor Who is in fine form this week with likely one of their best historical guest stars in recent memory! Are there small flaws in the episode?

    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 1 second

    Direct Podcast Download

    This week John & Taylor review the 3rd story of Season 12: ORPHAN 55! It's a classic base-under-siege story with some decent twists and a timely message for a world currently burning! This story also has to carry the momentum from the season opener and, honestly, stumbles a little. However, we find the good, try and reconcile the less good, and Taylor takes a moment to get up on his soapbox for all of fandom. Come and listen! Share with friends! Rate & review! Then go sit and have a cocktail.

Hear all their thoughts and general excitement about the new season right here! THEY'VE GOT THEORIES! Just who are the Kavaavin?

Our hosts discuss this, and so much more in this week's episode!


  • Episode 167: The Macra Terror OR Crustacean MK Ultra

    18 December 2019 (2:11pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 44 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    2019 is nearly at a close. Christmas is on the horizon, so John and Taylor settle in by the fire to review the animated recreation of The Macra Terror! Incidentally, BBC America is showing this story on the evening of December 26th if you've never seen it! There's lots of discussion in this episode along with news of Season 12, Gallifrey One, and yes we do talk about Hellier now that John has seen it.

    Direct Podcast Download

    Well, we thought we'd hit bottom all those years ago with Sleep No More and The Twin Dilemma and probably some others. But if there's one thing we tend to be good at, it's finding the good (or at least the decent) in a story that is otherwise lacking. And we do our best with that for TIMELASH, a 6th Doctor two-parter that has been called the worst story of Doctor Who. Thankfully, we also have a ton of new Season 12 news and Gallifrey One announcements to distract us. Check the show notes for all the goodness and make to share us with friends. A rate and a review wherever you consume podcasts would be greatly appreciated!


  • Episode 165: Battlefield OR Motherflippin Space Knights

    19 November 2019 (2:06pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 24 minutes and 42 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    This week it's war!! John & Taylor review the 7th Doctor story BATTLEFIELD! It's been described as a moody neo-Arthurian tale and we pack all our thoughts (and they are many) into 80 minutes of Doctor Who goodness. Turns out Arthur all his lot are all from a parallel dimension where magic is as real as science. Ace gets tossed from a lake complete with sword (we welcome our new explosives expert overlord), the Brig makes a triumphant comeback, and the Doctor is actually (eventually?) Merlin! Come listen in and be sure to share it with friends!


  • Episode 164: The Brain of Morbius OR Let the Brains Hit the Floor

    5 November 2019 (9:26pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 5 minutes and 57 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    It was a dark and stormy night when The Doctor and Sarah Jane land on Karn...and fall right into quite the homage to Frankenstein. Heralded by some, maligned by others, you can't deny the place that THE BRAIN OF MORBIUS holds in Doctor Who history! The adventure is surprisingly tight, the performances just over the top enough to be peak Doctor Who, and really without this story there are more than a few things in modern Doctor Who lore we would not have! Come listen, share with friends, and be sure to rate and review!


  • Episode 163: Black Orchid OR A Bit of a Sticky Wicket

    22 October 2019 (1:18pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 3 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Every now and then Doctor Who tries something new, something a little different. At times it works and at times it doesn't. Black Orchid was Doctor Who's attempt at a classic British murder mystery. It was a notable effort, but the execute may have left a little to be desired. John & Taylor come at the story from different points of view and ultimately make as much sense as they can of it. Grab your potting soil, your old timey drinks, and settle in for our review of Black Orchid!


  • Episode 162: Hide OR The Stone Mixtape Theory

    Direct Podcast Download

    John and Taylor start off this spooky season with the Matt Smith/Jenna Coleman story "Hide!" What exactly lurks in the hall of Caliburn Hall? And does it imply that the spirits we see are ghosts or are they echos contained within the walls of a location? Or are they people trapped in a pocket universe! We geek out over this and some of our favorite paranormal theories! Join us! Share us with friends and please rate and review us!


  • Episode 17: The Caves of Androzani OR How to Milk a Bat in 3 Easy Steps

    Direct Podcast Download

    John and Taylor (sadly, minus Lauren) are back to collect their final piece in their own Key to Time saga! They revisit and recapture their review of The Caves of Androzani! Peter Davison's final story and what many call the best Doctor Who story ever. We discuss many of the Shakespearean and Phantom of the Opera nods, the troubles with giant bats, and how none of this would have happened if they hadn't gone to Androzani Minor. Join us, won't you?


  • Episode 16: The TV Movie OR That's What I Call Doctor Who 1996

    12 September 2019 (1:07pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 31 minutes and 8 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    If there's one thing we're good at doing on Podcastica, it's taking a story we don't really love and either finding the best parts of it or just have a good time taking apart its worst bits. For everything the Doctor Who TV Movie eventually gave us, it really wasn't all that great! So John & Taylor endured it again to reclaim this lost episode, but they brought Lauren along for the ride (and she's seeing it for the first time)! Grab your shades and climb on into the ambulance for the ride of a lifetime!


  • Episode 14: Blink OR Missing 411 London Edition

    28 August 2019 (4:21pm GMT)

    Direct Podcast Download

    This episode replaces our original Episode 14, which was lost to time when the Weeping Angels got hold of it! This time, John & Taylor are joined by Lauren Bancroft to review one of the most solid, well-written, and best executed episodes in Doctor Who history! We try to find fault. We try to reason in some plot holes, but at best we get one. Blink's praise is well-deserved and we revel in it. We also discuss some exciting experiences in our own lives and devise a possible future episode idea. Come relive the excitement of meeting the Angels for the first time!


  • Episode 15: Last Christmas OR It's a Long Story

    Direct Podcast Download

    John and Taylor are joined by Lauren Bancroft as they set off on an adventure to recreate their missing episodes! First up, Episode 15: Last Christmas! The Doctor and Clara find themselves in a dream...which is a dream...inside a dreamworld of dreams...which is not so much adjacent to, but rather inside a dream. And this dream is run by facehugging dream crabs that themselves have rather gingerly skirted copyright infringement from the Alien franchise and are busy treating their subjects as tasty cherry brain slurpees. So it’s up to them to find a way to escape from this dream-ception and figure out if the tangerine is still spinning or has fallen over.

    We've made it, friends! We've reached the end of The Key to Time series with a six-part whopper THE ARMAGEDDON FACTOR! The Doctor and Romana land on Atrios in the midst of a seemingly fierce war with Zeos. But Zeos kind of...isn’t there. Is the Marshal of Atrios wagging the dog or are darker, much darker, forces at work? Say, a crystal jelly skull behind a wonky mirror? We dive into this story and discuss how well it caps of an entire season of adventure! Be sure to rate and review us! And if you're able to support us on Patreon, we'd greatly appreciate it!

    We are nearly through The Key to Time series! This time, John & Taylor review The Power of Kroll and find themselves an absolute banger! Not the story, though it's rather enjoyable, but that Kroll chant! They desperately want to find a fan who is comfortable creating beats and who is will to help us craft a dancefloor jam to honor Kroll! We have lots more to say, so grab your green paint, settle in, and press play!

    We're into the back half of the Key to Time series and this time John & Taylor find that, on the whole, the series stumbles a little with The Androids of Tara. There are some good parts, certainly, but there is also much that our duo wonder "Why'd they do it that way?" Either way, they find the best bits and suggest changes to improve the rest! Come check it out, please subscribe & rate the show, and listen to the end to see if you can help us on a quest!

    Aggrocrags return! John & Taylor continue their review of the entire Key to Time series with The Stones of Blood! We already loved the two stories before this and Stones only builds on what could be considered peak Classic Who! The hunt for the Key to Time takes the Doctor and Romana to Earth where everybody must get stooooned! And by stoned we mean, devoured by living stone from an alien planet that’s being controlled by a villainous woman from another planet who’s masquerading as a geologist’s assistant. Oh, and eventually justice sparkles from hyperspace...glittering in hyperspace...arrive to debate legal theory!

    The Mara, done chillin’ in the recesses of Tegan’s mind, sets our team on an adventure to Manussa where he’s/it’s (I double checked its gender) determined to return to full strength in a move worthy of Voldemort. However, all it’s armed with (pun...snakes have no arms) is a ritual and a crystal stolen from the hood of an 84 Chrysler LeBaron convertible. John and Taylor are back to review the 5th Doctor story Snakedance! Originally suggested by friend-of-the-show Mike, it was feared this might be a trap of pure bonkers. Instead, John found himself completely under the spell of the Mara and completely loved this story. Will you be equally enamored? You'll have to listen to find out!
