Latest Podcast Episodes

Sometimes a book comes along that you really want to explore and talk to other people about.  It's not enough to just read it and recommend it, you want to rave about it or throw your ideas around because its blown your mind - but you don't always have people around you can do this with.

Well now you do, because we're inviting you to join us in a fully interactive podcast.  Crazy talk?  Oh no, my friend.  We're looking to put you centre-stage with the Scrolls team to discuss a book of your choosing via the magic of Skype. 

This pilot episode has been put together to give you a flavour of how the episodes might go and the level of detail we can get into.  In it we discuss Shirley Jackson's masterful tale of claustrophobia and lunacy in the confines of a happy family home - We Have Always Lived In The Castle.  Neither horror, fantasy or sci-fi it still feels like our kind of book and is an absolutely fascinating read.  

There are spoilers throughout, so be warned.

The missing element is you.  

If you have a nomination for a genre book that you want to discuss with the Scrolls team, please contact us via e-mail at scrolls@hotmail.com or send me a tweet @Dion_Scrolls.  

We will pick one out of the hat and make arrangements to record the episode with you at the next available opportunity.  Get enough applicants and positive feedback and we may well make this a full time podcast.  Until then we'll have it as an occasional Scrolls Special.  It's in your hands people.

Join Barry and Amaechi in this special episode recorded at the 2010 Eurogamer Expo at Earl's Court. The guys chat about how this year's show compares to it's predessor and some of their highlights so far.

Apology for the sound quality as this was recording as the show was in full swing.

The lovely folks at the Raleigh Doctor Who Meetup Group invited me to speak at their third annual banquet last Saturday, and co-organizer Brad Gillespie kindly recorded it on his Flip camera. I talk about why I started 2MTL ("shiny, happy spite"), returning to Doctor Who fandom after falling away, and why Doctor Who is a better Star Trek than Star Trek ever was. But first, there's a quick disclaimer about my thoughts on fezzes and fans in 2MTL 162.

“It is the end, but the moment has been prepared… hang on… wrong Doctor…”

WHEEEE! It's the Eighth episode of The Cloister Room, a podcast about Doctor Who and other things. 

This week, the "Doctor Who" is Colin Baker's "Attack of the Cybermen. The "Other Things" are Fringe! Well, I guess that would be an "Other Thing" singular.

Next week, we'll be talking about "The Happiness Patrol," featuring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor. The week after that we'll be talking about an Eighth Doctor story... of your choosing! But wait! Wasn't there only one Eighth Doctor story? Well, we're throwing Big Finish's "Blood of the Daleks" into the mix, just to make things interesting. Comment here on this post, or leave an @ reply for @TheCloisterRoom on Twitter telling us which we should discuss.

Oh, and be sure to let us know what you think of the podcast, through either of those ways or by e-mail at thecloisterroom@gmail.com.

As a bonus episode, we present our first stab at a commentary.

Paul and the Beastmaster attempt to talk all the way through the infamous series 2 episode "Love and Monsters".

Let us know if its any good, we have no idea.

Ah Rose, the episode that signalled the birth of nu Who.

It lit the eternal fire that is Who fandom under many a child's bum, re-lit that same fire in lapsed fans the world over and inspired geeks to embrace the podcast.

Now listen to us rip the shit out of it.

Happy days.

The much delayed episode 22 is finally here.

This time, we focus our attention on 6th Doctor story "Revelation of the Daleks".

Due to our ongoing inability to manipulate time, this podcast is going out almost raw. Only a light sprinkle of editing has been applied. So expect none of our usual fancy tricks and sweet sherries. Not that we really do those anyway, but still.
