Episode 114: Shada OR Street Fashion Skagra
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 17 minutes and 3 secondsShada! A story made of legend. Filmed, but never finished. And then finished in a variety of ways. Recently, Shada was again finished, but this time with animation and the original cast returning to voice their characters. How does the reality of Shada stack up against Shada the legend? How deep does the writing of Douglas Adams filter through the story? And where exactly does Skagra get those fancy duds? John & Taylor delve into all that and more on a sizeable episode of Podcastica!

Episode 113: Silver Nemesis OR The Cyber Death Yawn
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 1 minutes and 33 secondsWhat do John and Taylor tackle after reviewing the 50th anniversary special and Peter Capaldi's final episode? Well, it was another anniversary story, but how does Silver Nemesis stack up against other anniversary specials? Was a story involving three villains (Lady Peinforte, Nazis, and Cybermen) just too much for Classic Who to handle? And why do all dying Cybermen sound like they're yawning and stubbing their toes at the same time? We talk about all that and more this time on Podcastica!!

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 27 seconds"But I don't understand!" "Exciting, isn't it?!"

In TERROR OF THE VERVOIDS, we journey into The Doctor's future as the case to spare his life continues! He shows the high council that he was eventually asked to save the most 80s-looking shopping mall (and it is the 80s...the 2980s) from a roving gang of living garden weeds along with Mel, his new companion, who is hell bent on giving him carrot juice and starting him on a jazzercise routine.

Did we survive? Did we make obscure references? Yes, we did.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 32 secondsOh boy!

Join us as we hitch up our britches and wade into the beginning of the end with "World Enough and Time!" Note: At the 24 minute mark, Taylor erroneously says Bill could technically be in Tomb of the Cybermen. That's a mistake, we know, because those weren't Mondasian Cybermen.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 58 minutes and 10 secondsOh, Doctor, where are we headed?
