Episode 030 - The Mobile Invasion of Earth (ft. Podtor Whocast)


Listen Later

Feels different this time… Freshly bi-generated and ready for Round 2, those fine folks from Podtor Whocast RETURN to restore the deeply cursed timeline of modern Doctor Who games. After a catch-up with Michel over yet more Fallout London talk (Atomfall who?), it’s right back into action on a conversation that’s as much about Who as it is a lamentation on the state of mobile gaming in general. And tangents? Oh, we got ‘em. Bada-boom-ba!
