  • One of my favourite podcasts. Likeable and knowledgeable hosts that strike the perfect balance between analysis and light-hearted conversation. Alongside only two other podcasts, I'll go back and listen to older episodes regularly. I just wish it was more regular than monthly.

  • These guys are fans?

    I’ve listened to a handful of episodes and they appear to dislike, as a whole, every episode of Doctor Who. Even episodes Eric and Kyle say they like are belittled so badly it’s confusing. Everyone is entitled to express their opinion, I just don’t understand spending so much time on something you seem to not like.

  • Not for me I don’t suppose

    Prefer shows that find the positive in every episode. And that aren’t quite as condescending. If I like an episode they don’t I guess I’m stupid or something.
