I began listening to this podcast a few months ago and it’s by far one of my favorite podcasts. If you are a huge Doctor Who fan, then this is the pod for you! The hosts are great and engaging, and they each bring something different to the table. I also love the added bonus that they occasionally drop some good biblical insights in their reviews. Great stuff y’all!
