In which a spider takes a cheat day, Doctor Who gets it's own Saturday morning kids TV theme,  we make the mistake of assuming everything that rhymes is alike and no one admits to being scared...

The Ood Cast is not your average Doctor Who podcast.

We aim to express the joy, the chaos and the glory of our favourite show through laughter, rhyme and song.

TV Reviews

In which we catch up on the past three years, stand roughly in a straight line and buy things off Etsy."He's giving everyone a last chance. He's saying this is where the show's going. This is the politics of the show ... it's about hope and love and inclusion and diversity. So, get back on board or otherwise F&*% off. I think it's amazing that he's doing that in such a beautiful, eloquent way."

Alpha: Show finale of Brooklyn 99
Loz: Oodies
Sigma: A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers   Additional notes: We're back. And we've forgotten how to use all the equipment, editing software and publishing platforms. Please bear with us as we take our first faltering steps back onto the internet, like podcasting bambis.

Five Star Beast

In which we review an episode of Doctor Who, filmed in a cupboard in one take, that still manages to be everything that is kind and clever in the world.

Be Kind

In which we celebrate the end of a sprawling, messy, exhilarating two part finale with a sprawling, messy, (hopefully) exhilarating podcast.

Chib Changes Everything

In which we wax poetical, enter through the gift shop, revisit Cyberwoman and discuss P.G. Wodehouse (but mostly how to pronounce his name).

Ghost Sandwich

In which we talk about our own battles with depression and anxiety, applaud Doctor Who for tackling difficult issues, read beautiful poetry and there's probably a joke in there somewhere too.
