Something Who

13Cast Episode 6 - Battle-scarred

The Gremlins have got a tight grip on 13cast this week. Giles' PC didn't record the first half, Paul's PC decided to reboot at random intervals and Simon's microphone was a bit variable, so Richard may have sacked the lot of them. But despite this, we've got our review ready for The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos and our thoughts on the season as a whole.

13Cast Episode 5 - On Reflection

It's Advent and the 13cast crew ponders the move of Doctor Who from Christmas to New Year. Then it's review time for The Witchfinders and It Takes You Away, before a debate on the nature of Doctor Who and whether the last episode is an allegory for the latest series. Finally our Christmas lists.

Note: Simon's audio was badly affected by interference. We've done our best to edit round this, but there is distortion on his contributions and some have been lost.

13Cast Episode 4 - Bubble Trouble

13cast wonders - just why is there a 10 minute colour animation of Wheel in Space for Missing Believed Wiped at 25? Then the crew returns to the task of reviewing Demons of the Punjab and Kerblam! with diversions into Puncast and Latincast. And the famous sweet Yorkshire staple of Rhubarb. Which may, or may not be connected to Kerblam!

13Cast Episode 3 - Anamorphic in the UK

After the 13cast crew perform their tribute / insult to the 4 Yorkshiremen, it's time to deliver their reviews of Arachnids in the UK and The Tsuranga Conundrum, with a brief diversion into BakeOffcast. And after a couple of positive episodes, there's a bit more grumpiness this time.

13Cast Episode 2 - Sit Down

After Richard finds out he's on a different wavelength from the rest of the 13cast crew, he's also a bit hazy on the nature of Rosa Parks' protest. The team then give their reviews of The Ghost Monument and Rosa, including chapter 3 of anamorphic lenses. Keep listening to the end for the first installments of Masterchefcast and SkyAtNightcast. We also break it to Simon that Jane Horrocks is from Lancashire.

13Cast Episode 1 - Sheffield Steel

After watching Doctor Who for over 45 years, Richard finally has a Doctor that sounds like him. Well, a little bit. Since none of them could get a ticket to the all-star Sheffield premiere, he's invited the 13cast crew round to discuss the debut of the Yorkshire Doctor in a story set in Yorkshire with someone who was born and brought up in Yorkshire. Yorkshire.

13Cast - Preview Episode - The Podcast That Fell To Earth

After losing his grip at the helm of the Grumpcast, Richard falls to Earth and recruits some new friends. Together they chew over the latest trailer for Series 11 and take a fair few tangents. If Paul sounds like he's locked in a cupboard in the Dalek city on Skaro, thanks to the magic of Skype, he may very well be.

Something Who Episode 2: Dummies' Guide

We're back, and frankly it's a bit late. And we've lost Simon along the way. But we're here now, and after Paul gives Richard a Something Who briefing, it's on to Something Old - Spearhead from Space - and Something New - Rose. Join the Something Who gang - Richard, Giles, Paul and Mike - while we ponder first stories, Autons, where we originally saw the stories and who thought it was a good idea to invite Robert Holmes back after The Krotons and The Space Pirates.

Something Who Episode 1: Not Just Any Old Crab

Well, it's finally here. We light the blue touch paper with Something Old(ish) - the Macra Terror - Something New(ish) - Gridlock - superficially linked by the Macra, but actually with much broader ties than that. Join the Something Who gang - Richard, Giles, Paul, Simon and Mike - as we chew over this story pairing, pondering issues such as faith, redemption, whatever happened to Ben and when exactly will Mike mention chocolate eclairs?

13Cast Episode 8 - Summat Who Pilot

Richard's excited about the imminent arrival of Grexit Day, until the rest of the 13cast team point out what exit from the Grumpcast might actually mean. After comparing notes on how podcasting has changed their lives (hardly), it's time to review Series 11 in the style of our new podcast, Something Who, comparing new and classic Doctor Who stories. Something Who will arrive in a new podcast feed from April.
