Customer Reviews
Doctor Who Appreciation for Grownupsπ
Easy-going, light-hearted, tolerant and slightly naughty, they sound like old friends who really enjoy each other's company. Doctor Who (& loosely related) news and views, plus general merriment.
Good clean fun!
Iβm a big fan of pop culture podcasts and this one just moved to the top of my list! The guys are entertaining and informative. Thanks guys for putting on a show my whole family can listen to. The wife and I love the Dr. Who discussions!
