  Episode 110: Bmal Elttil a Dah Yram

  Episode 109: Hail the Company!

  Having bid farewell to the late Chris Burgess, our heroes discover that Erika and Kat, both from Verity!, have taken up lives as jungle Amazons!  (Stories of their four co-hosts being cannibalized may have been exaggerated.) As we push aside the...

  Episode 108: The Radio Free Ark

  When we left our heroes in Episode 107, they were being stalked in the woods (or is it a jungle?) by an unknown and definitely large beast.  Their fears have been allayed, however, as the beast turns out to be...

  Episode 107: Malus Aforethought

  Having escaped the hungry clutches of the cannibalistic John Branigan and his cohorts, our heroes catch their breath in the forest…however, is something large and dangerous hunting them?  Have they (almost literally) jumped from the frying pan into the fire? We...

  Episode 106: One Large Step for the Cybermen

  It’s time once again to focus on something a little more current, and by “current” we mean something that has been released on DVD in the past 30 days (albeit televised in 1967).  We turn our gravity telescopes to bear...

  Episode 105: The Deadly Doctor Phil

  Episode 104: Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure Aboard the Poseidon

  Cashing in on our recent good luck in winning a free cruise to South Africa from a Nigerian sweepstakes, Episode 104 is set on shipboard.  Amidst sipping cocktails, laying by the pool, and playing shuffleboard, we set our sights on...

  Episode 103: By Any Other Name

  We hired a team of actuaries to research and tell us which of the Doctor’s incarnations’ episodes do we review the least often.  The unanimous response was the Ninth Doctor.  After Sean talked Steve off a windowsill after suggested “Aliens...

  Episode 102: 2013 in Review

  As you may have guessed already (because you listeners are so, so smart), in this episode we chat about what Doctor Who has brought us in 2013, the year of its 50th birthday. The second half of Series Seven is discussed,...

  Episode 101: This Old Body Of Mine

  Watching an "Adventure in Space and Time" got us hungry for smoking Cybermen, so we opened our freshly delivered packages from Amazon to watch and discuss "The Tenth Planet". This is the one where Hartnell regenerates (oops, spoilers!) so keep your...

  Episode 100: Live! From DFW Whofest! It's "The Day of the Doctor"!

  November 23, 2013.  A day that Who fans will likely remember for the rest of their lives.  We went to see The Day of the Doctor together, and then did a "live" episode at DFW Whofest, the Dallas convention that totally blew...

  
• 11.18.2013

  Episode 99: The Sofa of Reasonable Comfort

  This time we trod off the well-beaten path and, rather than discuss a traditional Doctor Who story, we chose Steven Moffat’s 1999 Comic Relief special, Curse of the Fatal Death.  Fasten your seat belts and prepare yourself for five more...

  
• 10.28.2013

  Episode 98: The One with the Monster Vaginas (and Colin Baker!)

  Add one part “The Seeds of Doom”, one part “Robots of Death”, and a dash of “Murder on the Orient Express” and you get “Terror of the Vervoids”, this episode’s topic of discussion.  Do the mounting bodies and the creatures...

  
• 10.06.2013

  Episode 97: Warriors on the Rocks

  If there is one thing we’re not known for, it’s being sober and providing our listeners with up-date-reviews on stories that have either just aired or just been released on DVD.  Therefore, it was time we brought you our thoughts...

  
• 09.18.2013

  Episode 96: The One Where Mel Leaves

  Add one part Seventh Doctor, one part Ace, one part Glitz, and take away a pinch of Mel and you have “Dragonfire”, this episodes special selection chosen by our special guests Andre Tessier and Ken Deep of 2013’s Long Island...

  
• 09.05.2013

  Episode 95: The One on Blu-Ray

  If there’s one thing we both love, it’s films and television shows on Blu-Ray.  If there’s one thing Steve is kind of ambivalent about, it’s the Pertwee era.  Put the two together, and we couldn’t resist talking about the recent...

  
• 08.22.2013

  Episode 94: What's Behind Your Door?

  This time we’re happy and honored to have Deb Stanish from the Parsec-nominated Doctor Who podcast, Verity!  (That exclamation point is part of the title, not that we’re super excited and all that she can join us, because we are.) ...

  
• 08.11.2013

  Episode 93: Pyramids in Bars

  Sometimes you just want to re-watch one of those classic favorites.  Thus, we present our serious academic discussion of “Pyramids of Mars”.  ‘Nuff said. Be sure to catch us on Facebook, email us at [email protected], and follow Sean on Twitter via...

  
• 08.05.2013

  Episode 92: The Next Doctor

  It’s been a couple weeks.  And we were going to send you a discussion of “Pyramids of Mars”.  But we couldn’t resist…here is the first ever TARDIS TAVERN SPECIAL REPORT!! Peter Capaldi has been announced as the Twelfth Doctor.  If the...

  
• 07.20.2013

  Episode 91: The Sontaran Episode (With Dan Starkey!)

  We haven’t talked about Sontarans since…well, since ten episodes ago when we reviewed “The Two Doctors”.  But there’s no time like the present again, as our roving reporter Andre Tessier has brought us an interview with Dan Starkey, the current...

  
• 07.10.2013

  Episode 90: Adric Dies at the End

  Yes, it’s about time we got to this one, isn’t it?  “Earthshock”, the one where Adric gets it in the end.  The one heralded by many jaded fans as marking the exit of the Jar-Jar Binks of classic Doctor Who. ...

  
• 06.29.2013

  Episode 89: Fear This

  Way back in 2006, a little episode called “Fear Her” aired, and it’s been vilified by fandom ever since.  We hadn’t seen it in years, so we wanted to find out if it was really as bad as everyone says...

  
• 06.22.2013

  Episode 88: Let There Be Daleks!

  With all of these mundane little stories we’re covering, you’re no doubt saying, “But Sean and Steve, when are you going to tackle something really classic, like ‘City of Death’ or ‘Fear Her’?”  (That second one was a joke.)  Wait...

  
• 05.30.2013

  Episode LXXXVII: Maximus Pettulian

  Studies show that it has been a hell of a long time since we talked about a First Doctor story (see our episode on “The Time Meddler”) and even longer since it was an episode about a historical First Doctor...

  
• 05.23.2013

  Episode 86: Nightmare in Silver Nemesis

  We know.  Cybermen are soooo last week.  In fact, they’re just soooo 1988.  So much so that we take a look back at the show’s 25th anniversary special, “Silver Nemesis”, featuring the Seventh Doctor and Ace.  Let that sink in...

  
• 05.14.2013

  Episode 85: Happy Mummys' Day

  Two things: (1) Mothers’ Day was just around the corner and (2) we haven’t talked about a Ninth Doctor story for quite a while.  So, without further ado, we present our discussion of Steven Moffat’s first story, “The Empty Child”...

  
• 05.08.2013

  Episode 84: Chalk Circle

  It’s the best episode ever!  Sean has regenerated and turned into one of his other co-hosts!  This time, it’s “Battlefield”, with the Seventh Doctor, Ace, and the Brigadier times two. [This is the moment when the typist pontificates on the interesting...

  Episode 83: And Then There Were Five

  There’s a pretty good chance all of you at home saw a pattern in our last couple episodes, so it should come as no surprise that Episode 83 is “The Five Doctors”, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Doctor Who in...

  
• 04.23.2013

  Episode 82: And Then There Were Three

  Where do you go after “The Two Doctors”?  Naturally, “The Three Doctors”!  We’re joined by Kyle Anderson of the podcasts Doctor Who: The Writer’s Room and WTF are You Watching? We discuss what was then the show’s ten-year anniversary story,...

  
• 04.16.2013

  Episode 81: The Pair o' Docs

  We’re churning episodes out like bug spray on boll weevils lately, and, as we promised, this time we have a discussion of “The Two Doctors”, Robert Holmes’ penultimate story.  Grab the carrot juice, play a merry tune on your recorder,...

  Episode 80: I Never Drink...Wine

  Burrowing a little further into the annals of the Fourth Doctor (a phrase we were looking for any excuse to use), we wander towards the end of his tenure, three years past the last time we saw him in “The...

  
• 03.31.2013

  Episode 79: Pantophobia

  On the eve of the broadcast of “The Bells of St. John’s”, naturally we couldn’t resist not reviewing it.  Instead, we go back in time to September of 2011, which broad us such classics as “The Girl Who Waited”, “A...

  
• 03.19.2013

  Episode 78: The Potpourri Episode (With Daphne Ashbrook!)

  pot-pour-ri \pō-pů-‘rē\ n [F pot pourri, lit. rotten pot] 1 : a jar of flower petals and spices used for scent  2 : a miscellaneous collection : MEDLEY No, this isn’t the flower show episode.  Rather, as promised, we give you...

  
• 03.03.2013

  Episode 77: Please Do Not Throw Beer at Me

  To give the impression that there is some rhyme to our reason, Episode 77 just needed to have a story aired in 1977, so there was a smorgasbord of Fourth Doctor and Leela yumminess to choose from.  We like mysteries...

  
• 02.09.2013

  Episode 76: The Wrong Podcast

  There are two things we learned since recording this podcast.  The first is never to drink while listening or watching the subject matter that you’re going to review.  The second is that we have a soft spot for Big Finish. ...

  
• 01.20.2013

  Episode 75: Oh, What a Tangled Web of Fear We Weave!

  Looks like we survived the end of the world after all. When you survive an ordeal like that, there’s nothing like a little dose of Patrick Troughton, so we decided to turn around and talk about what we originally intended: that...

  
• 12.28.2012

  Episode 74: The End of the World Episode

  This time we take an interesting turn, with a review of “The Web of Fear”, featuring one of our favorites, Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor. Or do we?  We did, after all, record on December 21, 2012…are you still around...

  
• 11.28.2012

  Episode 73: Pissed on Peri

  We haven’t talked about Big Finish for a while now, so it was time to recruit Doctor Who podcasting’s foremost expert on Big Finish audio plays, John Brannigan of Cyber Testicle and Radio Rassilon fame, to drink and talk about...
