    EP 196: SHAKEDOWN

    Which one is better, script-to-page Dicks or original Dicks? Do the Sontarans look any better in red armor? And just how do you pronounce “Sontaran,” anyway?

    EP 195: HUMAN NATURE

    Is this really the story so nice they told it twice, or is it more of a recurring nightmare for the Doctor? Is the Doctor really not cruel and not cowardly? And what’s with that whole snowflakes image thing at the end, anyway? Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, Dalton Hughes, and special guest Erik Gulbrandsen of the POLICE BOX IN A JUNKYARD PODCAST as they ask these questions and more discussing Paul Cornell’s HUMAN NATURE!

    EP 194: SET PIECE

    Is it a good thing to have a book that teases the return of Sutekh and never features Sutekh? (Come to think of it, is it a good thing to have an episode that features the return of Sutekh?) What does it mean to be part of history without changing history? And why DOESN’T Ace have a belly button on the cover of this book? Did it leave before she did? Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton Hughes, as they ask these questions and more discussing Kate Orman’s SET PIECE!
