On this special edition episode of Helicarrier Podcast, Andy Behbakht and Nicki Eighmy get together to do a Season 2 Pre-Talk for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. which returns on Tuesday, September 23, 9/8c on ABC.

Throughout the episode, they talk about all the recent casting news, the synopsis for the first three episodes (spoiler alert!) as well as footage that has been released for the second season.

They also talk about the casting news for Marvel's Agent Carter (which will air mid-season) that has come out recently. 

Hey ATA Listeners, on Across The Airwaves Episode 182 we make friends with the monster under our beds as we review Doctor Who S08E04 "Listen". This was an episode that Nico thought was a bit random for the greatness of writer, Steven Moffat but for me it was the beginnings of finally warming up to Peter Capaldi playing The Doctor as I'm envisioning him as a character more similar to Doc Brown from the Back to the Future Series. Also as always before getting into our Doctor Who discussion we've got a News with Nico section reporting on Millennium Falcon sightings, a Teen Titans Live-Action TV Series, the final season of The Legend of Korra, Community Season 6 and a whole lot more.

Hi Across The Airwaves Listeners, on this week's podcast we are joined by men, men in tights to be more precise as we review Doctor Who S08E03 "Robot of Sherwood", a Robin Hood themed episode written by Mark Gatiss that explored our need for heroes. Also as always this episode features a "News with Nico" section reporting on new ways to watch Television favorites, the How I Met Your Mother alternate ending, huge Arrow casting news and much more.

     Doctor Who: S08E03 "Robot of Sherwood"

Hey ATA Listeners, this week's podcast is all about dealing with change as our review on the Doctor Who episode "Into the Dalek" still had us struggling to face the strain of Peter Capaldi replacing Matt Smith as the Doctor. In addition, we discussed The Legend of Korra Book 3 ironically called "Change" and started this episode off with a News with Nico section reporting on some changes for the location of Comic Con along with current and canceled TV Shows including a revival of the sitcom classic Full House.

Hi ATA Listeners, the Doctor is back Well, sort of as the beloved 11th Doctor played by the exceptionally talented Matt Smith regenerated into the 12th Doctor portrayed by Peter Capaldi. Now, like many of you we here at ATA had our own reservations about Mr. Capaldi and Steven Moffat decision to make this new Doctor much darker in tone but  despite our struggles with change we remained objective while watching  the Doctor Who Series 8 Premiere to give you a solid podcast. So with that join Nico and I as we dive right into discussing meeting the new Doctor  sharing our thoughts on Peter Capaldi's performance as the character, his introductory episode and where the Doctor/Clara's story could be headed in the future with a stunning crackpot theory about a woman claiming to be the Doctor's "girlfriend".

By the way, in addition to our Doctor Who discussion this episode starts out with News with Nico for the week of August, 24th 2014 reporting on stories about a casting shakeup on MythBusters, a potential Castle spinoff series, a Minority Report TV Series and much more.
