Doctor Who Podcast by Eric Grissom and Dan Johnson reviewing the classic era. That’s right, this is the good stuff. Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, Baker, Davison, the other Baker, and McCoy. Maybe even McGann. Some say they do it because they ran over a magical drifter who cursed them. Others claim the show was willed to them by their long-lost British “Uncle”. Whatever the reason, the one thing yo... more

  • The Best Example Of A Perfect Podcast

    The hosts are generous with their time and friendship in reviewing a show in the same manner that, for most Americans , was distributed - out of order and seemingly with no rhyme or reason. I was hooked from my first listen and continue to binge the entire catalog over and over.

  • Good fun

    Unpretentious and politics-free chat about Doctor Who done in a fun and easy going style that some of their British contemporaries could learn from.

    Update

    Oh no. The end is nigh. I’ve been listening to Eric and Dan for years and now they’re at the end it feels very sad.

    But what a run ! You’ve both done so well and your content is always anticipated. I’m saving the last few episodes. Whatever you do next, good luck (How about Star Wars ? Films and TV ?) and thanks for everything you’ve done ... more

  • Best Classic Doctor Who podcast I’ve found

    Dan and Eric discuss and review classic Doctor Who episodes; which episodes they discuss appear to be at the behest of the rather lacklustre, at least in regards to old Doctor Who, availability of episodes on American streaming services. This meandering approach works in the shows favour, mostly stopping them getting bogged down in any one era. It will also feel very familiar to any fans growing up in the 90’s buying stories on VHS almost at random. If you’re looking for deep analysis of classic... more
