Krynoid PodCast

Barbara's penchant for historical re-enactment gets our intrepid time team into a spot of bother down old Mexico way.

While she cosplays as a dead bloke, the Doctor and Susan try to dodge a double wedding and Ian has to use his thumb for more than hitchhiking. 

Will Susan get spiked, Ian skewered and Babs bricked up?

Worse still, will the Doctor get hitched?

Will Tlotoxl change his name by Deed Poll or will Martin have a stroke?

And did Jim and Martin find The Aztecs to be like a comforting cup of cocoa or a goblet of cold poison?

We're used to looking at a screen and seeing dodgy creatures attacking a pair of plucky adventurers.

With Carnival of Monsters, you can watch other folk doing the same thing. It's like Gogglebox with grey aliens.

Can a chota peg really solve any behemoth-based problem?

How easy is it to drug-mule a set of skeleton keys?

How many seconds were spent making the Functionary masks and how much change did they get out of a pound note?

And were Jim and Martin amused by the miniscope or did it leave them colder than an Inter Minor welcome?

The Krynoid PodCast boys welcome you back to the Green Cathedral this Yuletide to offer you perhaps the closest thing to a pantomime that '60s Who gets, The Underwater Menace.

What the heck is the Doctor wearing and why?

Is the rest of the Atlanteans' male grooming as lax as their eyebrows?

How will Polly's groovy new gills go down on the swinging King's Road?

And did this soggy saga float Jim and Martin's boats or was it like watching a shipwreck?

We return to Who with a tale of secret enemies, ostentatious acting and stentorian asides.

Will the Keeper ever escape his shower cubicle?

Will aubergines ever replace Rice Krispies?

Will Tom Baker ever wipe his nose?

And will The Keeper of Traken give Jim and Martin a new lease of life or leave them calcified?

Jim and Martin spring a festive surprise with some new Krynoid PodCast material!

They scan the snowless Snowdonian slopes for monstrous myths and find the Doctor giving an old friend a bell, Victoria repeating herself and Jamie threatening everyone with a bagpipe recital.

But did The Abominable Snowmen thaw their cockles or do they give it the cold shoulder. Listen to find out!

Merry Christmas and have a wonderful 2023!

Welcome to the first episode of Jim and Martin's new podcast on that other great BBC sci-fi series of the 1970s and 80s, Blake's 7.

This is just a sample episode for Krynoid PodCast listeners. Future episodes will be published at https://mutoidpodcast.libsyn.com so, if you like it, please subscribe at your usual podcatcher.

There may be a delay while the first episode reaches all of its destinations so please try again if you can't find The Mutoid Podcast first time.

Over the next few months on this feed, we will be publishing the first 30 episodes of the Krynoid PodCast which are not currently hosted at Libsyn.

When this migration is completed, all of the Krynoid PodCast episodes will be available in the same places (iTunes, Spotify, etc.).

Jim and Martin are returning to podcasting... with a surprising plot twist.

Listen here or on Spotify.

An announcement on the future of the Krynoid PodCast.

So it’s time to go home for Andy Pandy fangirl, Sarah Jane Smith.

And there’s a hand pulling the strings in this show too, giving tupperware a bad name and Professor Watson a bad day at the power plant.

Handily, crystalline cosmic crook Eldrad can reform herself from her moribund mitt and then she herself suffers from a wandering hand from her leading man.

For a change, we leave a quarry to land on an alien planet where ‘she’ becomes a ‘he’, the decibel level rockets and he – and the serial – fall off a cliff.

But is it OK to fancy Eldrad?

How many (if any) puerile ‘ring’ jokes should be allowed in one podcast episode?

And do Jim and Martin think The Hand of Fear deserves a thumbs up? Or do they give it the finger?

Listen and you might get an answer to some or none of the above.

The lads also review the brand new audiobooks of Dalek and The Crimson Horror!

Also available on Spotify.

Welcome to The Fun Factory: trespassers will be self-prosecuted.

The Valeyard (aka The Flaw Doctor) makes the most of a unique Time Lord feature and gives his own SJW predecessor a right legal leathering on Space Station SFX.

But they still find time for trips to Camber Quicksands and Popplewick’s House of Exploding Quills, where the waiting room is spacious but gives you that sinking feeling.

The Doctor quotes, the Master gloats and Glitz dotes on bank notes, while the Keeper is not averse to the odd slide tackle to protect his Panatropic Net (even though Mel always aims for row Z).

But did Jim and Martin find The Ultimate Foe ultimately forgettable or a worthy way to end an era?

Listen to find out.

The lads also review the audiobooks of The Krotons and The Curse of Fenric.

Also available on Spotify.
