Content that'll quench ya!
Alright, everyone, stop laughing. Grow up. Come on now. Anyway, Sam (@sammycrow) returns as we delve into doppelganger dangers, missed opportunities, and yes, talk about why the Flesh looks like that. Do you want to share that joke with the class? No? Then listen to us as we delve into The Rebel Flesh AND The Almost People!
Fear me, I’ve listened to hundreds of Podtor Whocasts! Fear me, I’ve listened to all of them! C.C. (ccmcloughlin.com) returns as we lift the lid on an episode we all honestly do not really like that much, delve into the strange world of mid 2010s Hugo Award nominees, and tackle the world of nostalgia-based storytelling head-on as we all meet The Doctor’s Wife!
Yo ho ho and a Podtor full of Whocast! Nathan (@wokejohnwayne) returns to talk pirates, Ubisoft E3 conferences, and more, as we walk the plank, and talk the plank, all this, and you know the drill, it’s The Curse of the Black Spot!
You should DOWNLOAD us on sight! Podtor Whocast returns, alongside special guest Shelby (@alphacouple.bsky.social) to discuss Doctor Who in America, Richard Milhouse Nixon, big alien fellas in soggy suits, and more — it’s The Impossible Astronaut AND Day of the Moon!
A cause for applause! Welcome to the show, dearest guests. Please be seated. To close the year we thought we’d try something a little different – it’s an alternative game awards show! We polled some members of the community and collated our own thoughts on the past year ān change, and whoāda thunk it – weāve got plenty to share. So join us in this celebration of everything that is, was, and could be. Itāll be a night to remember!
The night gaming came home! In an extra spooky special, Sam, David and guest Shane Cannon hand out tricks and treats alike as they discuss the rich legacy of illustrious horror director John Carpenter. Itās an eclectic tale spun across cult movies, the games inspired by them, and the famously outspoken gaming tastes of the big man himself. And, uh. Hang on. Didnāt David have something this week tooā¦?
Set phasers to āgamingā! Thereās a great big universe out there, and by gum, someoneās gotta make sense of it. Join us, as we beam up old-school YouTuber and die-hard Odo fanatic Christopher Bingham (@chriscoolblog) to explore what works about Star Trek (and what so often doesnāt) across a plethora of interactive tie-ins. A most vital engagement!
The worldās a stage – and lifeās a dance! It all gets a bit hairy-scary as Gamer Era kicks off the big red boots for the spookiest month of the year. Returning guest Lucy (@fortunekookiekrisp) joins Sam for an enchanting Bayonetta special, as a recap on the much-loved game series turns to a spirited discussion of the real-life folklore and superstition that may have inspired it. Cat not necessary, but strongly recommended.
Gaming. Itās our business. With conquest on the mind, our brave hosts each explore the various triumphs and blunders of two titans venturing into the digital realm. First, David chronicles The Lego Groupās tentative steps into the 2000s – from the experimental Island series, to the justly forgotten cross-media flop of Galidor, through to the eventual breakout success of Bionicle. Then, Sam finally investigates a lifelong curiosity – just who exactly is multi-millionaire media mogul Alan Sugar, and what was he doing getting involved in the booming British micro-computer scene of the ā80s? Itās all to play for in another block-busting instalment!
Welcome back, valued listener. Pay close attention. Time is of the essenceā¦ Out from the darkness and into the light shine two masters in their fields. First, incumbent agent Sam details the original Perfect Dark – the much-hyped spiritual successor to GoldenEye that continues to draw interest to this day. Then, interstellar traveller Vernon (@meektheraccoon) flashes back to the TimeSplitters series, itself both a contemporary and successor to Perfect Dark with a similarly devout fanbase. These twin titles separated at birth share many commonalities, but it is crucial that focus is not lost. Good luck, listener.
