Broader and deeper than Doctor Who...Back in the early months of 2012 we started life as the Blue Box Podcast, a small team of three (then four, then five...) people podcasting our thoughts on Doctor Who, in the classic style of a bunch of friends the microphones were just accidentally eavesdropping on during a conversation in the pub. Over a decade later, the team has expanded and so has the remi... more

Had been a solid 5 but the obsession with mentioning Nigel Farage and Reform in every exchange is starting to take the shine off it. Sure once they’ve got it out their system it will be back on form.
As said on a different review - the host talks way too much. Sometimes says something interesting but other times not and just interrupting his own guests. A few questionable opinion too, which we all have to be fair but they spoil the whole show. It could be really good, but a little up itself and opinionated
Amazing show, the new guy is particularly fun and charismatic
I’ve always liked this podcast - particularly in its first incarnation - and it still has a lot to recommend it. But where they used to have a ‘no-swearing’ policy, and - by no means an unrelated point - the most enjoyable and wide-ranging discussions among all DW podcasts, it has recently become a disappointing swear-fest.

A lively, wide-ranging discussion show that blends deep dives into Doctor Who with conversations about films, music, and broader pop culture, plus occasional political takes and guest conversations. Episodes often feature informal banter, nerdy analysis, and strong opinions delivered with humor, making it feel like a group of friends chatting in a pub while sharing thoughtful critiques and recommendations across TV, film, and music. Notable is the balance between affectionate fandom and critical scrutiny, along with a willingness to tackle timely topics, guest interests, and current media trends, which keeps the format fresh for long-time listeners and newcomers alike.
