Philip Bates Talks Racoons, Doctor Who Companions, and UNIT Books
We're back with a new, later-than-planned podcast with guest Philip Bates of The Doctor Who Companion.
Philip chats to Christian Cawley about some projects he's working on with Candy Jar Books, which includes some books on The Racoons, an update to Companions: Fifty Years of Doctor Who Assistants called Companions: Sixty Years of Doctor Who Assistants (announced here for the first time!), and a new UNIT book.
(Apologies, there is a small hiss on Philip's mic, which we tried to remove early on and in post-production, and this is as good as it gets.)

2023 Doctor Who Christmas Special Reviewed: The Church on Ruby Road
The Church on Ruby Road is reviewed in our latest Doctor Who podcast.
Christian Cawley is conducting other activities this week, so James McLean is joined by "Magnus" to discuss the 2023 Doctor Who Christmas special. But who is Magnus, and will you ever find out?
Probably not, but it's an interesting conundrum to consider as you listen to this chat...

Doctor Who 60th Review: The Giggle
Admittedly later than planned, we're back for our review of the third Doctor Who 60th anniversary episode, The Giggle. Guest starring Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howzer MD, How I Met Your Mother, etc.), the episode reintroduces Bonnie Langford as Melanie Bush and brings us our first look at the 15th Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa.
Quite a bit of him, in fact.
This week's show features Christian Cawley abnd James McLean in conversation with each other.

The first part of Doctor Who's 60th anniversary has aired - but what did the Kasterborous team think of The Star Beast?
This week, Christian Cawley and James McLean are joined by Philip Bates, the driving force behind The Doctor Who Companion. We cover everything from steelworks in North London (!) to Miriam "Margoyles" with gender transitions and empty lofts along the way.

Customer Reviews
Overdue Review
Dear PodKast (with a K),
Your show is amazing, honest, and thorughly entertaining (....and I'm very lazy).
Thank you for each and every single episode you've done over the years. Christian, James and Brian (haven't forgotten) are very good and have a natural chemistry together. Please don't ever stop doing what you do, because you truly have made the best podcast out there.
Sincerely,
Rob (Perth, WA).
Thoughtful and engaging
What I love about this podcast is that whatever my thoughts on an issue or episode of Doctor Who, these guys help me understand those thoughts better. Their style is engaging, and deceptively casual, but very thoughtful.
The difference in views amongst the team also adds a spark that’s sometimes lacking from other Who podcasts, and they’re a great source of new.
Worth a listen!
