Traveling the Vortex

Glenn reviews Big Finish’s Fugitive Doctor Adventures: Dead or Alive, breaking down Flying Solo, The Junkyard Loop, and Hereafter. Featuring Jo Martin’s Fugitive Doctor, Division secrets, Great Vampires, and powerful character arcs, this episode delivers a tight, story‑driven look at one of the most compelling eras in modern Doctor Who audio drama.

Glenn reviews Dawn of the Daleks, a fierce and emotional Circuit Breaker chapter where the Fugitive Doctor lands on Skaro and discovers the last surviving Kaleds fighting to endure Dalek domination.

A return trip to the Saturn Jewel Hotel pulls us deep into the Fugitive Doctor’s past as Glenn reviews The Deadliest Weapon, the latest entry in Circuit Breaker. Jo Martin delivers a fierce, emotional performance as the Doctor relives a morally devastating Division mission, while David Banks brings chilling weight back to the Cyberleader. It’s tense, personal, and one of the arc’s standout stories.

A sharp, lore‑rich dive into the Fugitive Doctor’s first full audio era. In this episode, Glenn reviews Doctor Who: Most Wanted, the three‑story Big Finish box set starring Jo Martin and introducing Alice Krige as the formidable Cosmogon.

Across Fast Times, The Legend of Baba Yaga, and The Dimension of Lost Things, this set delivers everything from prison‑break chaos to folklore‑infused sci‑fi to a surreal realm stitched together from lost memories. It’s energetic, atmospheric, and packed with character‑driven intrigue that expands the Fugitive Doctor’s mythos in bold new directions.

The Circuit Breaker arc takes us to 1894 Italy, where the Fugitive Doctor crashes into a brewing crisis and a shadowy “Honourable Society” with far more going on than the locals realize. It’s a quick, character‑driven chapter that puts Andrew in the spotlight and nudges the larger mystery forward - perfect fodder for this week’s deep dive on Traveling the Vortex.

The vortex drops us somewhere dangerous; somewhere forgotten and the Fugitive Doctor is already on the run. This week, I’m cracking open Titan Comics’ Doctor Who: Origins, a story that doesn’t solve the mystery of this incarnation… but absolutely sharpens it.

A sharp, stripped‑back look at the Fugitive Doctor’s new sonic - why its clean design, bold vibe, and smart callbacks make it one of the freshest tools in the Doctor Who arsenal.

The Fugitive Doctor faces the Daleks for the very first time — and it goes about as well as you’d expect. In Titan’s Circuit Breaker: Adversary of the Daleks, bright, vibrant art meets a sharp, friction‑filled story as Osgood’s hero worship crashes head‑on into a Doctor who refuses to play the part. Ancient Greece, false gods, alien refugees, and a Dalek scout on the hunt — it’s a messy, chaotic, character‑driven entry in the cross‑media event, and we’re breaking it all down. Join us as we dive into the Fugitive Doctor’s most explosive mission yet.

Glenn reviews the opening chapter of the new Doctor Who cross-media event, 'Circuit Breaker.' This episode is a review of the short story, 'Calling the Doctor'
