Just in time for Halloween, Matthew Kresal and Mary Lang are reviewing Big Finish's hotly anticapted and recently released Phillip Hinchcliffe Presents box-set. With its promise of recreating an era (in)famous for its “tea-time horror”, topics discussed in looking at the two stories that make up the box-set (The Ghosts of Gralstead and The Devil's Armada) include each story's extended length, calls back to the Hinchcliffe era, Tom Baker's performance and more.

Marking the podcast's first sojourn into non-Big Finish Doctor Who territory, Matthew Kresal and Mary Lang are reviewing the controversial 2001-02 seventh Doctor webcast Death Comes To Time. Topics discussed include its large cast, the epic nature of its plot and the ever shifting nature of it as a result. Plus they ask the ultimate question: is it canon and does it really matter one way or another?

Topics discussed include bringing the world to an end on audio,

familiar actors in different roles and some discussion about the
