Traveling the Vortex

As you know, back in October we traveled to Wichita, KS to attend Time Eddy III. We were honored to be able to conduct a few panels, including one with the beautiful Katy Manning and charming and lovely Matthew Waterhouse. This is the audio we recorded at that panel.

It starts with Matthew, as Katy had been feeling under the weather for much of the weekend and on top of that she agreed to add a panel to make up for the absence of another guest. She joins the panel about halfway through.

Thanks again to the organizers of Time Eddy three years of enjoyment.

Also, entertainment news and another small announcement from our friends at Candy Jar Books.

Plus, a review from longtime listener and correspondent, Chrissy who looks at a comic from the December 2017 issue #518 of Doctor Who Magazine. It features the Doctor and Bill in a story called “Matildus.”

And, we give a short spoiler-free review the the latest Star Wars film, The Last Jedi.

Last month we had the opportunity to join in on a panel at Kansas City Comic Con with the hosts of A Gal & A Gay podcast. Mitch & Kat (or as they are also known, Mick and Kitty) invited us to record a live podcast. We discussed everything from podcasting to Doctor Who and even talked a little bit about Star Wars along the way.

A big thank you to A Gal & A Gay podcast for hosting the panel and to Kansas City Comic Con for having us be part of their convention.

Last month, long-time listener, friend-of-the-show and now correspondent Kirk Chritton and his family went to Chicago TARDIS over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. And Kirk was kind enough to file this report for us, and our listeners about their experiences at the convention.

Our apologies to Kirk for the delay in getting this out on the feed. But, hopefully this will be just the first of several surprises and specials leading up to Christmas.

Enjoy!
