  • Seems like they don’t enjoy the show anymore

    I used to love this podcast as my only source of doctor who commentary as an American. Lately it seems they don’t even enjoy watching the episodes and their reviews are just so negative. They just suggested the show should take a multi year hiatus instead of let RTD continue. I had to turn it off and it’s likely the last time I’ll listen.
