How Did This Happen? Happy Episode 300!
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 25 minutes and 14 secondsYes Who fans, episode 300 is here!
It seems strange to be talking about our three hundredth episode, in a way it's not that many compared to many other podcasts and indeed, a few other Doctor Who podcasts but for us personally it's an achievement we're proud of.
Adam and I started waffling about Who back in 2014 and with the odd week here and there we've consistently managed to record every week. I can tell you that's not easy. With our jobs, family, travel, illness, the pandemic etc it can be difficult but... we love Doctor Who and that's really all the motivation we need.
To celebrate this we've plucked our amazing writers from the comfort of their keyboards to participate in a round table discussion about our fav era's, our thoughts on recent Doctor Who and it's future plus a couple of hilarious digressions along the way.
We could have chatted for hours and we'll definitely get them back on but for now, grab a drink and enjoy as The Big Blue Box Podcast waffles on into episode 300.
Thank you so much to all of you for listening. Seriously, thank you.
