Latest Podcast Episodes

Hello all, here is episode number five of 'Who' - Is the Man Cast where I review Doctor Who: Vampires of Venice, recommend some episodes of Stargate SG-1, start a Discworld (a series of books, for those of you who don't know) section and I read some feedba- no I don't, oh well.

Also I plug (finally) The 20MB Doctor Who podcast: http://www.facebook.com/?sk=236183122#!/group.php?gid=123660367652675 ( I hope that works).

And as always if you are looking for this podcast on iTunes, just type: 'Who' - Is The Man Cast.

Oh my giddy aunt!

If there was a Doctor that many commentators said inspired Matt Smith in the creation of his Doctor’s persona, it was one Patrick Troughton, the second Doctor.

Trevor and Tom explore the era of this most brilliant of Doctors in the first part of our retrospective of his work before, during and after his time on Doctor Who.

In this first part, we look at his time before Doctor Who, and cover his first season in 1966.

Stay tuned, for later in the week we release the second part of our series on Patrick Troughton, the cosmic hobo.

Jago and Litefoot. Yup, more of the simply wonderful Big Finish series. There's lots of feedback and we end with some music that includes vampires and a certain big, blue boy scout....

In a not-so-unprecedented move, Steven and Chris welcome back the Two-minute Time Lord himself, Chip, to take a look at what is thought by many to be the weak point of Series 5 -- Victory of the Daleks. The Series 5 commentary series examines where the episode went right and where it went wrong, and of course there can never be enough discussion about the Power Rangers-esque Daleks. Will opinions change for the better? Will they change for the worse? Will Churchill ever put out that blasted cigar when in the bunker? Only some of those questions will be answered in this week's Radio Free Skaro!

This week I jump in my TARDIS(didn't you know all Dr Who podcasters have one?) and take you back to 2008, this was my second visit to Cardiff but the first podcast I'd recorded there, before that there'll be a brief bit of Sarah Jane Adventures news.

Here's the show notes from when this show was originally released on podomatic.com in 2008(apart from the intro which is of course brand new)

An audio dairy episode of my holiday in Cardiff, Wales with my friend Sanya Preston. We ticked off many of the sights and sounds of the city from The Millenium Stadium and The Castle but our trip concluded with a visit to Cardiff Bay and a few other locations that were used in the TV shows Doctor Who and Torchwood. If you want to contact the show email tdrury2003@yahoo.co.uk or leave a comment on the website.

A little while back, I noticed a flurry of activity in the ol' Twitter feed, campaigning for Paul McGann's return as the Eighth Doctor in the new series. If it could be done, should it? I think so, because there's one completely unique quality to the Eighth Doctor that Steven Moffat could exploit the heck out of. And that is….

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

This week, the "Doctor Who" is the Tom Baker story "Genesis of the Daleks." The "Other Things" include The Sarah Jane Adventures and Caprica!

Next week, we'll be talking about "Caves of Androzani," featuring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor. The week after that we'll be talking about a Sixth Doctor story... of your choosing! Comment here on this post, or leave an @ reply for @TheCloisterRoom on Twitter telling us which Sixth Doctor story we should discuss. Stories not on DVD are fine! Not that it matters, since all of Colin's stories are out on DVD. But it's the principle that matters. Also note: Trial of a Time Lord counts as four stories, so you can't vote for it!

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.

SHOW TOPICS

00:00-01:24 - Intro

01:25-07:19 - Genesis of the Daleks discussion

07:20-13:36 - Tom Baker discussion

Honoring the wishes of that wonderful fellow from Chicago, Lloyd, who won our contest a couple weeks ago, we focus on one of the only six Second Doctor stories that exists in its entirety: "The Mind Robber."

Much can be said about this episode, but because (1) you may as well listen to it as long as you're reading this and (2) I'm just too damn hungry to type anything clever, we'll let you discover the delights of the magical land of make-believe all on your own.

This one's for you, Lloyd

Oh, I almost forgot...no feedback!  We know it's the off-season, but someone out there must love us!  Please pretty please, send feeback to tardistavern@gmail.com.  Also look for our group on Facebook (thanks to those who recently joined!) and follow us on Twitter at @tardistavern.
