May be writers, definitely not audio techs

Totally addicted. Discovered this podcast about 2 weeks ago, and I'm already 24 episodes in. Very much enjoy getting this POV on "Doctor Who." Having said that, the hosts need to give a little plot summary as they begin to talk about each story, so people can keep up without having watched the story in question (or without being such "Who" geeks they know every plot since 1963 off the tops of their heads — fortunately I *am* that geeky). Also, they need some help with their audio. In every episode (and yes, I've jumped ahead to make sure current episodes have this problem before reviewing) one of the hosts sounds like he's been recorded via Skype, and in every episode both hosts keep varying wildly their distance from their (cheap?) microphones, and varying how loud they're talking. I'm constantly having to adjust the volume — especially when the Skyping host laughs. Yikes...and ouch!
These guys are fans?

I’ve listened to a handful of episodes and they appear to dislike, as a whole, every episode of Doctor Who. Even episodes Eric and Kyle say they like are belittled so badly it’s confusing. Everyone is entitled to express their opinion, I just don’t understand spending so much time on something you seem to not like.
Not for me I don’t suppose

Prefer shows that find the positive in every episode. And that aren’t quite as condescending. If I like an episode they don’t I guess I’m stupid or something.
Great start to the new season

Having never seen any Outer Limits, it's still very engaging and interesting. Well-researched as always and thoughtful discussion. Good luck gents!
Special podcast for classic Who

So much fun for fans of classic who- you can revisit your favorite episodes and get done different perspectives. In my other life, I was an editor, so this appeals to me because I love discussions writing and developing story. 5 stars!!
Great Classic Who Podcast

As a longtime Whovian, I appreciate classic serials even more. Eric and Kyle have great in-ear chemistry and are both fun and informative to listen to.
Solid Podcast

This is a wonderful podcast about the actual stories of Doctor Who, new and old, whatever that means. Coming into the fandom late, I have reached the point where I have seen more "Classic Who" than, excuse the expression, new Who. Listening to this podcast makes me want to go back and watch certain episodes. The podcasters knowledge of the show and writing techniques and history are quite commendable. It will be sad day when I am caught up with this podcast, having to wait month from month.
Smart and engaging

Deeply knowledgeable without being smug or catty, Erik and Kyle do a great service to Doctor Who fandom with their thoughtful commentary.
Superlative

Some of the most-informed and well-considered DOCTOR WHO criticism I've come across in twenty-six years as a fan of the series.
Fantastic!

Doctor Who: The Writers’ Room is one of the first podcasts I listen to when it arrives in my feed. A focus on the writers of Doctor Who by analyzing and reviewing the stories they wrote offers unique insight in to the creative process and the writers who wrote the stories, unduplicated by any other podcast. Entertaining as well as informative, this is one subject where the homework of watching the stories is a pleasure to do both before and after listening to the podcast!
