Gazdo01 ,

Great show!!

As usual, Dom, Fr Sticha and Jimmy do an amazing job reviewing this show, episode by episode. My sister was a Doctor Who fan for years, but for some reason, I never got into it. That was until I learned you guys had this podcast. It prompted me to start listening, and next thing you know, I was hocked. As I’m writing this, and am now rewatching the whole thing from season 1 (New Who) and making sure to listen to you guys comment after each episode. Honestly, listening to this podcast adds to much to the overall enjoyment of the series. I have shared this podcast with my sister, and we have decided to give the original series a try after we’re done with the new stuff. Thank you, and I hope you keep them coming for many more years!!!

New or Classic fans will love this podcast

These guys know and enjoy their Doctor Who. They are level headed when discussing the show and don’t hate on everything because it used to be better. They give all episodes the same treatment.
Whether you just found Doctor Who or have been a fan for decades Fr. Corey, Dom and Jimmy take you in their TARDIS through the entire Doctor Who universe.

Doctor Who?!?!!!

Just started watching....why have I not watched this before!!!! I'm addicted and the commentary on his show is amazing with discussions including the call backs to the earlier series.

The recaps by Jimmy Akin are awesome.

I'm going to check out more of the Podcasts these folks are doing.

Thanks!!
