  • Good and bad!

    I do like this podcast a lot. Fascinating discussions (mostly). However, the two things I could do without: that kazoo tune (cringe) and the Lego bloke. Can’t stand him.

  • A Cut Above

    Easily one of the best Who podcasts, with a rotating band of informed and likeable contributors comparing old and new episodes. Amusing, intelligent and always rewarding. The format works well, though perhaps the choice of episodes to compare needs to be based less on superficial features (Pirates! Singing!)and more about how similar themes or ideas are treated differently.

  • Enjoyable and interesting

    I enjoy Something Who immensely. It has knowledgeable regular contributors who offer entertaining insights on Doctor Who episodes from the classic and modern eras. They often have interesting guests and there’s usually a few chuckles to be had along the way. Sometimes it provides an out loud laugh or two. Recommended.
