Get Off My World is back—and it seems, not a moment too soon!

Rested — regenerated — vaxxed and boosted — with new rounds — a new co-host — relaxed swear-word protocols — and a new theme song from The Sevateem!

In Episode 75: Anti-Buddhist Evangelist, Josh, Kelvin and Pat are joined by new full-time co-host Ariel Pinkerton to discuss the Fifth Doctor stories Kinda and Snakedance, and the Big Finish audio The Cradle of the Snake. We have a lot to say about Buddhism, the Mara, carnival barkers, mass-media villainy, mental disorders, J N-T’s fashion sense, and of course, a giant pink snake!

The dance goes on! It is all the dance, everywhere and always!

After a long absence, Get Off My World returns with a special double-length Episode 74: Running Around Getting Killed and Not Getting Killed, wrapping up our survey of Jodie Whittaker’s second season! Join Ariel, Pat, Kelvin and Joshua as we discuss Tesla versus Edison, the English Romantics, Birdemic, the history of mental illness, the Ruth Doctor (not Doctor Ruth), and our conflicted feelings about the Master and Captain Jack. All this and Pat’s impromptu off-key performance of Yazoo’s “Only You”! We cover a lot of ground here, is what we’re saying.

In Episode 73: Beethoven Playing Brahms, the guys talk about fans and showrunners, Charles Dickens, Columbo, Polka-Dot Man and various famous musicians, but mostly about the beginning of Jodie Whittaker’s second season: Spyfall parts 1 and 2, and Orphan 55.

As if that wasn’t enough, this episode was recorded live in January 2020 at CONsole Room, the Twin Cities’ premier Doctor Who convention, and so has exactly zero discussion of the coronavirus! Come join us in our simpler world!

In Episode 72: Goofy Overlords, your socially-distanced hosts Zoom their way through a discussion of the First Doctor adventure The Ark; conclude their coverage of the Fifth Doctor’s Doctor Who Magazine comic strips with “Lunar Lagoon,” “4-Dimensional Vistas” and “The Moderator”; and wind up Big Finish’s Stockbridge trilogy with a discussion of the audio adventure Plague of the Daleks. Whew! All this, plus the usual amount of digressions and hobby horses, a greater-than-average number of pandemics, and an examination of the longstanding question: Is Pat the a**hole?

We at Get Off My World are longtime experts at social distancing, and we recognize that in challenging times like this it’s important to give guidance and distraction to all our listeners. And so we are proud to present Episode 71: Ignore All Humans, in which we discuss the 1980s Fifth Doctor comic strip stories “Stars Fell on Stockbridge” and “The Stockbridge Horror,” the Stockbridge-set 2009 Big Finish audio The Eternal Summer, and, er, Timelash. We really do spend an awful lot of time on Timelash. This is our gift to you.

We hope that all our listeners are safe and well! And please remember: “Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind.“

Episode 70: Not a Lot of Legit Neuroscience is the start of an ambitious three-episode double-arc, as the guys begin discussions about Doctor Who Monthly’s 1980s Stockbridge comics and Big Finish’s “Stockbridge trilogy of audios from the 2000s! This episode we discuss “The Neutron Knights,” “The Tides of Time” and “Castle of Fear,” and if that wasn’t enough, we still find the time for The Brain of Morbius, some Dave Gibbons love and a bit of metaphysical music theory. All this, as well as Osbert Mudstealer, Maud the Withered and 30-50 feral hogs*!

*Hog numbers may be approximate.

We’re back! After a long absence, Get Off My World! is back with Episode 69: It’s Okay for It to Just Happen Like That. Pat and Kelvin are joined by Ariel Leaf and Joseph Scrimshaw in front of a live audience at Convergence 2019. We discuss the state of Doctor Who (real and imaginary), a multitude of Randomizers, British robots, nontoxic fandom and much more. Plus a whole season’s worth of improvised Doctor Who stories!

In Episode 68: Hippie Sh*t!, the boys and Ariel Leaf really chew the mammoth, if you know what we mean. We discuss Doctor Who and theatre, the War Master, and the classic Sixth Doctor episode Attack of the Cybermen, and Kelvin shares a new Doctor Who-ish short story.

There’s a lot going on in this one! Prepare yourself for cyber-Ace Hardware, a dull humming, cop-punching, and other Tarantino-esque violence, all in a sort of rondo shape. How many times can we see pop eat itself?

SHOW NOTES:
– Check out clips from the National Theatre production of Antigone here.

In Episode 67: Kids Love Murder, the guys and Ariel Leaf cover a whole crazy amount of Doctor Who territory. Listener David D. poses a terrific question about child-friendly Doctor Who that our hosts could have discussed for hours, but instead somehow leads into an earnest discussion of Time and the Rani, after which Ariel regales us with her adventures in Perivale, and everyone gets a lot darker in a discussion of the first part of Big Finish’s Derek Jacobi vehicle The War Master!

SHOW NOTES:
– Get off My World fan Doug S. sent us this marvelous video anthology of commercials starring Doctor Who actors.

– Follow along with Ariel’s photojournalistic tour of Perivale!

In Episode 66: What Did You Do, Josh?, the second of two episodes recorded live at CONsole Room 2019, the guys are joined by Scrimshaw-spawn Aaron English Scrimshaw to discuss body function jokes, Napoleon, the Doctor’s elasticity, and play some particularly chaotic rounds of the Death Zone, in front of an audience that would make Tony Bennett proud!
