Episode 581 – Chronons Work in Mysterious Ways

In this episode, we review the recently released Big Finish story, Doctor Who: Sontarans vs Rutans 1.1: The Battle for Giant’s Causeway.  This is the first story in a limited series being released this year. Hear what we thought of the first part.

This is our Companion Archive on C’rizz so we paired this up with two short stories from Big Finish books, Round Trip Part Two: After Midnight and Round Trip Part One: Before Midnight (and yes those are in the correct order). Both can be found in the book ‘Short Trips: A Day in the Life.’

And, we discuss some news that also features Big Finish.

Episode 569 – The Quest to Find the Most Important Thing in the Universe

We’ve changed things up this week. We had intended to do another Fun & Games episode, but we could not get things lined up to play the RPG.

Episode 537 – One Big Continuity Error

In this week’s episode, we take an unexpected detour back to Act Two of the Time War to pick up the recently released Doctor Who – The Time War 5: Cass from Big Finish.  We decided to switch to this review instead of moving on to The War Doctor Begins series to keep some continuity in our Time War reviews. Please forgive us if you were expecting the latter.
