Latest Podcast Episodes

To commemorate our eighth episode, we review the 1996 TV movie featuring the Eighth Doctor.  We also party like it's 1999 with a little bit of feedback ("little bit" = one fucking email) and nurse our hangovers from the second part of "The End of Time."  (And, of course, we regret even bringing it up in Episode 7 in the first place.)  Also, much to Steve's chagrin, Gadget the bartender has been replaced by someone or something new.

Help us celebrate our ascent into 2010: We're finally on Facebook with everyone else, so join our group or email us at tardistavern@gmail.com.  Seriously.  Pod Shock doesn't need more emails, so send us something, will you please?
 

Special acknowledgment goes to Lowroller (from whomix.trilete.net) for the Lowroller Mix at the end of the show.

Scott and Randy are back with the second half of their discussion of David Tennant’s swan song in “The End of Time – Part Two”. Evil has been defeated and The Doctor is victorious, but he quickly learns that you can’t run from a prophecy. The tenth Doctor’s song finally comes to an end, but Matt Smith’s journey has just begun. Who is the eleventh Doctor and does he have all of his appendages? All of this and more in the newest episode of The Doctor’s Companion. And of course, BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!

"The End of Time" is sooooo last week.  That being said, we take a look at some of the more loathesome bits of Doctor Who.

We ponder what the hell Dimensions in Time is all about (and write us to let us know if you have a clue), the incredible amount of smoking, drinking, and homoerotic imagery in K-9 and Company, and why anoyone would let Nicholas Courtney near a microphone in Doctor in Distress.

But could we really help ourselves?  Could we really not talk about "The End of Time?"  No.  We spend the last few minutes of the episode briefly discussing our likes and dislikes about this story and dropping a little path of rose petals for Matt Smith's arrival.

Please send comments and/or feedback to tardistavern@gmail.com.  Seriously.  Send us some goddam feedback.  Maybe we'll make the pain stop.

A new year brings with it the tenth Doctor’s last hurrah, and Scott and Randy are thrilled to be talking about David Tennant’s final adventure. “The End of Time – Part Two” has aired and there’s a lot to chat about. So much so, that this is only the first half of Scott and Randy’s discussion of the episode. The Time Lords are back, but what are their planning? What is The Master’s end game? How will The Doctor stop them both from ending time itself? All of this and more in the newest episode of The Doctor’s Companion. And of course, BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!
