The Incomparable Superfeed

It’s time to assault the tower from which the Iron King is sending his destructive robots. Can a zombie pig work as well as a fake ID? How horrifying is a bat-lion with laser beam eyes? Why are badgers so terrible at their jobs? Roll in the toy dump truck! - Host Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Mikah Sargent, Brian Hamilton and Erika Ensign.

We thought we might take the weekend off of TWiTT, because SURELY there wouldn’t be news about Doctor Who before Comic-Con, right? Chip’s theory was found wanting: New composer! New comic! New…uh…leak! (Which we will NOT spoil for you.) Alyssa and Chip tackle all of the news while recovering from the Families Belong Together rally. (Has Doctor Who ever inspired you to action, either personal or political? Let us know on Twitter or Facebook!) - Host Chip Sudderth and Alyssa Franke.

…ahem… TWO - THREE Erika and Steven continue the Canada Day festivities with more Doctor Who. However, Erika isn’t feeling very festive, due to the vocal performances of some of the actors in this story. Why does it have to be a SIX-parter? - Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

SIX Erika and Steven finish off Canada Day by finishing off “The Ice Warriors”. It had its ups and downs, but in the end they agree it’s a pretty good story. - Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

FOUR-FIVE Steven and Erika keep trucking along though the ice. To her delight, Erika finds the voices are much much better when there are moving creatures to pair them with. Steven talks about Pink Floyd — and even manages to make it relevant. - Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

The Chirpers debate the pros and cons of fun-lovin’, demon-infested Wynonna in this episode, which is awash in blood and gore. They blow the lid off “ratgate” and wonder when the Alberta Rat Task Force will be introduced to replace Black Badge. And what episode is complete without wondering about housekeeping? Whatever you do folks: Don’t Touch the Goo! - Host Erika Ensign, Annette Wierstra and Kirsten Goruk.

Recording from England, Jason discusses “The Prodigal Tongue: The Love-Hate Relationship Between American and British English” by Lynne Murphy. - Host Jason Snell.

…or should we say “THE ICE WARRIORS ONE” to match the opening credits? We should definitely say Happy Canada Day! As per tradition, Steven and Erika spend part of their national holiday watching this show (created by a Canadian!) and podcasting about it. There’s an awful lot to say about this episode! From incidental music to Victoria headcanon to a surprising amount of talk about Mark Gatiss’ stories, but there’s still time to squeeze in the official Canada Day-Doctor Who theme song! - Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

The Incomparable’s Summer of Marvel begins with a look back at 2008’s “Iron Man” and 2010’s “Iron Man 2.” How unlikely was it that a B-list Marvel Comics superhero nobody had ever heard of would end up kicking off one of the most successful film franchises of all time? How did perfect casting and a light touch with the subject matter pay off in this unlikely success? And how does the sequel balance being a second “Iron Man” film and the launch of a much larger franchise? - Host Jason Snell with Brian Hamilton, Chip Sudderth, Jean MacDonald and Dan Moren.

Jim Metzendorf, the man behind “The Professional’s Guide to Audio Podcast Production,” and the editor of some of your favorite podcasts (plus this one!), joins Scott to discuss DS9’s “Ties of Blood and Water” (S5E19). Topics include filler sounds, dealing with the death of a loved one (this episode gets a little heavy, people), and Cardassians vs. Romulans. - Host Scott McNulty with Jim Metzendorf.
