#157 - Sideways Into the Zsogsphere
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 50 secondsIn this episode, we discuss sideways Who and how this story type was not too common in the classic Who era, but has come into its own with the show's revival and is, perhaps, in its golden age under Chibnall's tenure as showrunner.

#156 - Death by Myrka
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 20 secondsWe land on the Galápagos Islands with the Doctor and Evelyn to review Bloodtide from Big Finish.

A story overflowing with historical characters and ideas, we wonder if Silurian Tulok's real crime was genetically engineering lady bumps on Silurian women. Opening music is "Tried" and closing music "The Cave"; both pieces composed by Alistair Lock for Bloodtide.

#155 - The TARDIS Destroys Space Opera
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 7 secondsAfter a quick recap of our afternoon playing the Quiz of Rassilon with fellow teammates Greg and Jess, we discuss space opera. We explore which stories fit the genre and what does it take to make a space opera story in Doctor Who? The conventional wisdom is Doctor Who is a genre machine, so how frequently does it dip into space opera like other popular sci-fi franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars? Opening and closing music is from "The Frontier in Space," composed by the incomprable Dudley Simpson.
