Debating Doctor Who

We’re back with a very special episode we recorded IN THE SAME ROOM when Alasdair came to visit Chicago. Even better, friend of the show Kate Kulzick makes her triumphant return to Debating Doctor Who! We chat about Clara’s arc in season 8, the possibility of River Song’s return, and our favorite one-off characters and concepts. Then in our second half, we make a last minute adjustment to our plans (we’ll discuss “The Bells Of St. John” and the Sontaran two-parter next week) to take a look at the RTD bonanza that is “Stolen Earth” / "Journey’s End." Kate, Alasdair, and Caroline examine the good, the bad, and the very bad of this epic two-parter.

We read one of our all-time favorite listener emails, chat about some Doctor Who news (Missy is back!), and reintroduce Who Alumni Theater to discuss a terrible rom-com and a ridiculous sci-fi space opera. Then in our second half, we discuss two episodes that ostensibly want to explore science, "The Lazarus Experiment" and "The Rebel Flesh" / "The Almost People." We quite liked one and rather disliked the other.

Alasdair and Caroline hop in our TARDIS to give you an episode we actually recorded back in January! That means we’ve got slightly out-of-date breaking news about new Doctor Who creative forces, Selfie, and an adorable David Tennant moment. Plus we read a bunch of emails from our listeners, discuss New Who’s upcoming 10 year anniversary, and share our favorite multi-episode arcs. Then in our second half we find quite a lot to like in two fun historical romps, “The Idiot’s Lantern” and “The Vampires Of Venice.”

Alasdair and Caroline are back! We take a break from Doctor Who (don’t worry, we’ve got more regular episodes coming soon) for an Oscar Special Podlet. We weigh in with our thoughts on some of this year’s biggest movies and discuss our predictions for tonight’s ceremony. Feel free to listen to this spoiler-free podcast whether you’re a Doctor Who fan or not!

In our first half, Alasdair and Caroline share their thoughts on what they’ve seen in the cinema recently, discuss the mystery of Orson Pink, chat about potential future companions, and give recommendations on how to introduce your friends to Doctor Who. Then in part two, we take a look at two episodes set on brand new worlds. First up, the hosts try to remember what actually happens in “The Long Game" (hint: it’s not much), then they discuss the sacrifices and songs of “The Rings Of Akhaten.”

In our last episode of 2014 we discuss the movies we’ve seen over the holidays, list our favorite Doctor Who supporting characters, and discuss whether or not this season deserves to be called “Clara Who.” Then we dedicate the entire second half of our show to this year’s Christmas special, “Last Christmas.” We weigh in on Shona, Santa, and the episode’s Inception-like structure.
