I'll Explain Later is a podcast all about Doctor Who. Every week, hosts John West and Matt Nida pick over two Doctor Who adventures - one from the classic series, one from the modern, and try to answer a crucial question - why are we still watching this kid's show all these decades later?

    We'll Meet Again

    We'll Meet Again

    It's the end! And the moment has been reached with our signature lack of preparation. Thankfully we've still got two blockbuster Doctor Who stories to enjoy in our sequeltastic season finale - the Fourth Doctor's first encounter with Davros in Genesis of the Daleks, and the Twelfth Doctor's return to Skaro in The Magician's Apprentice and The Witch's Familiar. 
    Thanks so much for joining us over the last six weeks - it's the last episode in the season, but we'll be back in the not too distant future. If you've been enjoying the show, please leave us an Apple Podcasts review, and do drop us an email to hello@illexplainlater.com - we'd love to hear from you.
    We'll be back - keep 'em peeled!

    Death Disco

    Death Disco

    It's the "Of Death" special! In perhaps our most tenuously-themed episode yet, we discuss the uncanny valley, AI and helium as we consider Fourth Doctor classic The Robots of Death, then we switch mediums entirely to cop a load of X-rated VR while untangling the knots in our minds as we indulge ourselves in Third Doctor radio romp The Paradise of Death. (The latter nearly inspired us to upload last week's episode again in a high concept practical joke, but we thought better of it.) Plus we unveil a brand new game show format, exclusively for our listeners.
    It's our last episode in the season next week - so "X" your comments to us here or drop us an email here. See you at the curtain call...

    Holiday

    Holiday

    It's a holiday special! Not in the Christmas sense, or indeed in any meaningful way at all beyond that these are two stories where the Doctor and co attempt to take a holiday and fail. Under the microscope this week are Eleventh Doctor double threat The Girl Who Waited and the Seventh Doctor's encounter with Delta and the Bannermen.

    Land Of My Fathers

    Land Of My Fathers

    It's a Welsh special on this week's I'll Explain Later as we hop across the border to enjoy two stories that put Wales at the heart of the action - the Ninth Doctor's tense trip to Boomtown, and the Third Doctor's iconic brush with The Green Death.
    Email your thoughts and questions to hello@illexplainlater.com or "X" us at @explainlaterpod - and we'll be back next week with another pair of adventures whose breadth and depth are perfectly proportioned for the small screen.

    Maniac

    Maniac

    It's a dastardly double bill on this week's I'll Explain Later as we look back on the Doctor's encounters with two diabolical masterminds - Professor Zaroff, in aquatic Second Doctor caper The Underwater Menace, and The Sixth Master (as no-one calls him) in apocalyptic Tenth Doctor series finale The Sound of Drums / Last of the Time Lords. Can anything in the world stop us now? With our erratic release schedule, probably, but do check back next week for our next exciting episode...

    Under The Sea

    Under The Sea

    We're back! Thanks for sticking with us during our extended hiatus - we toyed with releasing a charity single, but instead decided to knuckle down and record a WHOLE NEW SEASON of I'll Explain Later. We'll be dropping new episodes weekly for the next six weeks, covering a slew of Doctor Who adventures past and... even more past.
    And we're kicking off with a Sea Devil special, as we look at Third Doctor classic The Sea Devils and make our first foray into the Chris Chibnall era with Thirteenth Doctor swashbuckler Legend of the Sea Devils. Is either one of them a clanger? Listen in to find out.
    As always, email your thoughts to hello@illexplainlater.com, particularly your thoughts this episode's Question Of The Week. And check back next week for our next episode!
