Latest Podcast Episodes

It's time once again to focus on something a little more current, and by "current" we mean something that has been released on DVD in the past 30 days (albeit televised in 1967). We turn our gravity telescopes to bear on "The Moonbase" the Second Doctor adventure featuring Ben, Polly, and (sort of) Jamie. It's also notable in that it's the second story, after "The Tenth Planet", with the Cybermen.

Joining us for this ride 238,855 (that's a fun fact, Google it!) is our friend John Branigan, formerly of The Cyber Testicle Podcast, although he's now being syndicated on A Mostly Harmless Cutaway. We can't tell you how much fun it is while we get drunk in the morning with a chap six time zones away.

There’s a new companion in our future, as you have probably already heard because it was announced a billionty weeks ago. I will now attempt to distract you from our tardiness with a bulleted list of topics discussed on this episode of the podcast:

• New companion Danny Pink (pictured)
• Companions in general
• Doctor Who‘s schedule
• Pros and cons of a changing fan base
• Is Stephen Moffat going to leave because he’s a big whiner who says that he doesn’t have enough time to work on anything but Doctor Who even though there’s only like a dozen episodes a year and besides it’s his own fault that it takes so long anyway
• Pants

Dave also introduces the Arrow of Time Book Corner, wherein he talks about Tiny Acts of Rebellion by Rich Fulcher.

And WhoTube this week is “Doctor Who – Love Don’t Die” from user LiveLikeHeroes:

In episode 3 of Doctor Who: Time Signatures I dig into some sound studies and film music studies terminology to talk about the role of audio backgrounds in television and film. How do film and television define their narrative space with sound? What role does ambient background sound play in making a cohesive narrative?

In this week’s show we revisit the topic of Doctor Who fans and LEGO. Yeah… sorry about that.

But, we also tackle two terrific Big Finish audio plays. First is the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn story in the Main Range series called The Sandman.

Then our review of the Seventh Doctor and Mel tale, Bang,Bang-a-Boom.

Also, some guest announcements from L.I. Who, as well as some of the other news of the week.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

This week we dip into the past to talk about some baddies from the old days. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we set out to discuss the historical villains of Doctor Who. Along the way we discover it's much more complicated than it seems. Historical (and pseudo-historical) stories are really different beasts from other types of Who. It's a fascinating discussion! We hope you find it so too.

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Get ready for a brand new podKast in which Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean discuss the latest Doctor Who news.

This week, we discuss the various rumours concerning the speculated return of the Master in Doctor Who Series 8. Is it Charles Dance? Is it Richard Armitage? Perhaps the new Master will be Steve John Shepherd? We don’t know, but we’re certainly interested and we’d love to hear your thoughts on this particularly interesting topic.

Also, we spend a chunk of time discussing Mark Gatiss’ forthcoming BBC Worldwide junket to Brazil to promote Doctor Who and Sherlock, marvel at the sales figures for The Web of Fear on DVD, celebrate the reunion of the Doctor, Ace and Bernice, and share with you our recommendations!

Kasterborous PodKast Series 4 Episode 05 Shownotes

• McCoy knows who the Master is, but is it this guy?
• Capaldi’s “thrilling” opener
• Mark Gatiss’ BBC Worldwide trip to Brazil and Corolianus
• Another Doctor/Ace/Bernice Reunion, The Highest Science adaptation, original book.
• The Web of Fear DVD breaks sales records.

This week Paul & Phil return to series 3 to look at The Sound of Drums in what is probably the longest series review ever.  Yes, they look back at the Master's plan to take over the world (again) and take a look at John Simm's portryal of the character. Was or is it as bad people think?  Is this story as bad as Phil & Paul remember?  Listen to find out whether either of them have softened their opinion of this very divisive story.

And in the news this week, BBC3 that stalwart of Doctor Who repeats is to close down, another writer for series 8 is announced which probably doesn't get the reaction the BBC was hoping for and in Omega's Tat Corner it's time for some more quality mintage!!

Having just seen Katy Manning at Gallifrey One, we decided to review a Jo Grant episode. Then we noticed that this week is right in the middle of the 42nd anniversary of "The Sea Devils" first airing on TV in the UK. It seemed a match made in...well, somewhere. So here you have them: The Master, the third Doctor and the wonderful, amazing, self-relient Josephine Grant! Oh yeah, and a guy who checks out strange noises in the dark.

WARNING: Contains some rabbit chasing

The Three Who Rule are travelling back in time this week to the wild, wooly days of 2005, when a certain program about a madman in a box first re-graced our screens after a long, long hiatus. Though we take the success of Doctor Who as a matter of course these days,  in those early stories the show could have easily failed, and the fact that it didn’t is in no small part due to the work of one Joe Ahearne, gentleman director and subject of the Miniscope. Join Steven, Warren and Chris as they dissect the work of one of the most important directors of new Who…and also waste your time beforehand with news, japes and the introduction of P-Cap and J-Co to the “irritating shortened names for actors” pantheon.
