Steve Bond-Who-Music ,

Superb podcast for Doctor Who fans

I find Dom, Father Cory and Jimmy-pedia (ok, I just gave him that name, he knows everything!) utterly engaging. You end up feeling like they are your friends!
I’m British and watched the show from 1987 onwards, and love hearing an American view. Don’t be put off if you’re not Catholic, this podcast is never ‘preachy’, the religious elements are only discussed when relevant and for me are merely informative and subtle. Above all their love for the show leads to great opinions and many laughs. I’ve now listened to around 150 episodes!

Mr Day ,

Excellent!

Really enjoying this but why can’t Americans pronounce PerTwee ? Does my head in :). It’s PerTwee not Purrwee 😁

Satch1502 ,

Best podcast, perfect for me

Excellent podcast for anyone who likes doctor who with a knowledgable panel and full of enthusiasm.

Add in just a dash of Catholic moral commentary too, just great.
