Traveling the Vortex

If you’re confused about this week’s topics in the episode, we apologize. Due to a scheduling blip, we mistakenly told you that we were reviewing two different stories on the last show. However, we really meant to say we are reviewing Big Finish #95 Exotron & Urban Myths featuring the Fifth Doctor and Peri. Find out what we thought of these two stories in what Shaun is calling the “Virus Strand” arc.

Also, convention news this week as well as some interesting news about another Doctor Who DVD release.

As always, enjoy!

Also, big news from Big Finish with the announcement of more Tenth Doctor stories and a reunion of sorts by the original Torchwood crew.

The post Episode 362 – The Three Doctors at Christmas appeared first on Traveling the Vortex.

Merry Christmas! With what has now become a Yuletide tradition for us here at Traveling the Vortex, we present this year’s Christmas special.

And, because we like to rank things (not) we decided it would be fun to take a look back at some of the Doctor Who Christmas specials and choose our top five favorites. Also, we look at the one story we think is the absolute worst. And we decide which story we feel best represents Christmas.

Enjoy!

The post Side Trip 31 – Christmas Special: Now With Rankings appeared first on Traveling the Vortex.

In this special Side Trip edition, Keith and Shaun review a book they read way back in January. “The Legends of River Song” was the Goodreads Traveling the Vortex Book Club selection for that month. It was our intention to review it sooner, but we kept pushing it off. So, Glenn thought it would be fun to see what Keith and Shaun could remember, and this is the result.

Enjoy!
