Latest Podcast Episodes

In this week's podcast we are fresh back from Britishfest in Omaha, NE, where we took part in its first ever convention. This week we regale our madcap adventures in the Cornhusker state, and share all the wonderful stories from the weekend's activities, including the first ever Friday Night Who (or Saturday in this case) tweet-along. Also, we take a peek at some of the news items on the list for this week. Plus a...

The Others feels strongly about the spreading of information especially where missing episodes are concerned. There are people who take a lot of the information they are given at face value and they rely on these parties that give out this information to be as truthful as possible. In this episode, The Others give their opinion about how people on the Internet who have this influence on other people have a responsibility with what they are reporting. One member of The Others cites an example of this from a recent Facebook exchange he was a part of a little while ago. Every attempt has been made to represent this viewpoint in this podcast as fair as possible. Also, there is a round-up of facts on missing episodes. What do we really know vs. the un-researched to-good-to-be-true rumour of the day. We are open for sensible debate on this issue. For this episode, The Others wanted to have a readable transcript of this episode available at the time of posting by trying to hire someone to do it or find someplace online to create it. No luck in finding a suitable resource. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this cheaply, it would be appreciated.

It's another villaintastic episode of Verity! This time we're talking about machines--computers, robots, and androids who want to do very bad things. Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we use "The Robots of Death" as a jumping-off point for our discussion. It's a great place to start, as it deals not only with robots themselves, but their integration into society. From there we jump to their integration into stories, and after that, we're all over the map: WOTAN! BOSS! Tara! Smilers! And much much more!

There's also a wee bit of irony at work in this ep. A technical issue prevented the excision of some coughing. (Deb had a cold.) This would be merely unfortunate, but it's catapulted into the realm of irony when Erika boasts of her cough-muting prowess...and then can't mute the coughs. Such hubris. Never tempt fate in front of the podcast gods. Lesson learned.

(That same technical issue accounts for the somewhat iffy sound quality in this ep. We thank you for your patience, and will try to have things back to normal next week!)

Also covered [links on our site]:

• Erika
  • thinks Snoopy may actually be the Doctor!
  • and fangirls over Doctor Who director Rachel Talalay, who posted a pic of Chicks Dig Time Lords!
• Liz
  • anticipates the newest regeneration of the Rani, courtesy of Big Finish!
  • and said words that are now in Doctor Who Magazine!
• Deb had a smashing good time with Doctor Who programming at Philadelphia Comic Con!

With apologies, the War Doctor just doesn't seem "real" enough to warrant a space on my shelf among the ordinally-numbered Doctor action figures in my collection. As magnificent as John Hurt was, why am I reluctant to include him in the tribe?

It is an extra special June Edition of Hoo On Who where David and Marty discuss some new Doctor Who news, Long Island Doctor Who announcements, Steven Moffat trolling the fans, and the lack of Doctor Who coverage at SDCC.  The guys reminisce about the maiden voyage of their TARDIS at Knoxville’s Fanboy Expo and play some interview clips with Doctor Who fans at the event.  We then plunge into the nest of vipers that is Snakedance to talk about a surprisingly enjoyable story and some wonderful DVD extras.  The mailbag was noticeably light this month, but just WAIT until you see what is coming up in July!!

This month we present our first discussion of a novel by veteran Doctor Who author Simon Messingham, it's The Face-Eater, a BBC Eighth Doctor Adventure featuring Sam and...well, the Eighth Doctor. From the back cover:

The Doctor and Sam arrive on Proxima II, one of the earliest planets colonised in humanity's first big push into space. But instead of a brave new world, they find a settlement rife with superstition and unrest.

The native Proximans are inexplicably dying out. Humans too are being killed in horrific ways, with each face being stripped bare.

Posing as investigators from Earth, the Doctor and Sam must track down the force moving through the dark catacombs beneath Proxima City. It seems that the superstitious whisperings of the colonists may be well founded - that the sinister Face-Eater from Proximan mythology has awakened from its long sleep, to drive out all those who would defile its world...

(Note: Despite the title of the book and what it says on the back, no faces were eaten in this story. Yeah, we were kind of disappointed, too.)

You may know Simon Messingham from his New Series Adventure The Doctor Trap, as well as Zeta Major, Tomb of Valdemar, The Indestructible Man, and The Infinity Race. So...sit back, heat up a cube of non-alcoholic bourbon, and listen in as we discuss The Face-Eater.
