Your hosts cover a lot of emotional ground in Episode 63: I Tolerate This Century But I Don’t Enjoy It. The guys and Ariel Leaf discuss what they’re enjoying about series 11, the family dynamics of large TARDIS crews, the evolution of the show since 1963, and a whole lot of man-thigh! Plus Pat shares a weird bummer of a short story he recently wrote, and everyone tangles in the Death Zone to figure out which new series Doctor had the best first five episodes. Whew!

In Episode 62: Get the Cloister Bell Ready, the guys and Ariel Leaf dive into the first half of Jodie Whittaker’s first season. Topics of discussion include writing and politics, companion overcrowding, fictionalizing real history, Pting spinoffs and space-racists!

What’s the verdict on the season so far? Take a listen and then drop us an email to passionately disagree!

In Episode 61: I’m Making Air Quotes, People, in honor of Jodie Whittaker’s debut, guest host Ariel Leaf is joined by guests Melissa Kaercher, Gabriela Santiago, Zhac Rahkonen and Alison Anderson for a special all-women installment of Get Off My World!

Ariel and crew discuss Whittaker’s first episode The Woman Who Fell to Earth; which former companion would make a good Doctor; inappropriate relationships; the sometimes fraught connection between acting and writing; women’s roles in Doctor Who and the roles of women in Doctor Who — the good, the bad, and the pretty!

Recorded live at CONvergence 2018, Episode 60: Dr. Who and the Sackbut, with special guests Ariel Leaf and Joseph Scrimshaw, covers all manner of nonsense, including the past and future of Doctor Who, audience suggestions, Renaissance wind instruments, Pat’s recent trip to Greece, and of course, the DEATH ZONE!

In Episode 59: It’s Actually Nonfiction, special guest Gabriela Santiago leads the guys on a deep dive into fandom: What it means, what we get from it, and what continues to elude us, capped by Gabriela’s breathtaking “Epidemiology of Fan Love!” And there’s more! We also discuss the Fourth Doctor/Leela classic The Horror of Fang Rock, and learn why it’s forever associated in Pat’s mind with that episode of The A-Team where the helicopter crashes.

Join us! It’s a lot more fun than listening to the empty rhetoric of a defeated dictator!

In Episode 58: Weird Maximalism, the guys, along with special guest host Gabriela Santiago, interview The Sevateem about their new album The Caves, based on the classic series story The Caves of Androzani. We dig deep into the motivation, production and reception of this beautiful love letter to old Doctor Who, and suggest some totally inappropriate ideas for follow-up albums. As well, we discuss the role and propriety of fan art in general, and wrangle about the merits and demerits of the Sixth Doctor story Revelation of the Daleks, the Diamonds Are Forever of classic Doctor Who (or so some claim).

In Episode 57: Game of Thrones This is Not, the guys joust over the Fifth Doctor story The King’s Demons, ruminate on the current state of Big Finish spinoffs, and discuss the last two episodes of the Big Finish 8th Doctor Time War box set. Oh, and in case you need something to put you to sleep, Pat reads his award-winning Lovecraftian nursery rhyme “Things Your Child Was Not Meant to Know.”

SHOW NOTES:

In this unusually profanity-heavy Episode 56: Cheap, Weird and Brutal, the guys discuss The Sontaran Experiment, the history of violence in Doctor Who, and the first two episodes of the Big Finish 8th Doctor Time War box set. And presented here for the very first time anywhere, exclusive excerpts from David Mamet’s unproduced Ninth Doctor script Glengarry Davros! Listen to the &#%!@?! thing, why don’t you!

SHOW NOTES:

We’re back! After a refreshing several-month hiatus, Joshua, Kelvin, Pat and The Unaffiliated Critic return to finish up our Peter Capaldi-era overview, in two leisurely rounds during which we ponder questions of gender and race in Who, fight an epic Death Zone battle to determine the best Capaldi episode, and learn about Kelvin’s hatred for crows. All of this and The Last Jedi too!
