Episode 22 – The Almost Podcast

We call this week’s episode, The Almost Podcast because some listeners will hear almost all of the show before they have to wait another week to hear our review of The Almost People. That’s right, our policy here at Traveling the Vortex is, if it’s aired in the U.K., we’re going to talk about it. So please keep that in mind when listening to this week’s show.

However, there is still plenty for the North American folks to enjoy. We also review the subject of last week’s Seven Weeks for Seven Doctors, Vengeance on Varos, starring the Sixth Doctor and Peri.

Surprisingly, there was no actual feedback this week, however, we do read out a couple of comments that are in reaction to BBC America and SPACE’s decision to delay Series Six for one week for the Memorial Day holiday.

Episode 21 – Old Enough to Drink

We start this week off with a congratulations to Steven Moffat on his BAFTA win. Then reaction to North Ameican TV networks, BBC America and SPACE’s decision to delay Series Six one week for the Memorial Day holiday.

Also, your feedback, including a special poem, by one of our listeners.

We also chime in on Spoliergate, and the impact spoilers have on the enjoyment of our favorite program as well as our policy on them.

And two reviews. Up first is a review of the Fifth Doctor story, Black Orchid, followed by this weeks new Series Six episode, The Rebel Flesh.

And remember, if you subscribed to our podcast through the iTunes store, and you do not receive the show on your feed this week, you WILL need to subscribe through this site.

Enjoy!

Moffat Tops At BAFTAS

You win some, you loose some.  In somewhat of a surprise, outsider Daniel Rigby, beat off Benedict Cumberbatch’s modern reinvention of Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock as well as audience favorite Matt Smith, (the first Doctor Who lead to be nominated for the award), to take home the award for Eric & Ernie, a biopic about British comedians Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise.

Best supporting actor went to Sherlock Holmes co-star Martin Freeman, who played Dr. Watson, while the Steven Moffat-penned drama was also named best drama series.

Episode 19 – Attack of the Pop Culture References

Better late than never, huh?

In this episode, we review the Third Doctor story Carnival of Monsters. And then a look at Series Six’s latest installment, The Curse of the Black Spot.

And as usual, your feedback. (We even had our first Google Voice submission, thanks Muldwych!)

The show is laden with pop culture references through out, so jot them all down, there may be a pop quiz later!

Enjoy!

Episode 18 – Moon River

Minds thoroughly blown this week, we attempt to review this week’s episode of Doctor Who – Day of the Moon. We’ll explore some wild theories about the time team (some may come true) and share our reaction to the incredible two-parter as a whole.

Also, our review of the Second Doctor story, The Dominators.

And of course news and your feedback.

Enjoy this week’s long winded discussion, it’s the longest one yet. So sorry.

Episode 17 – Love and Astronauts

A double dose of Who this week. First a review of the classic First Doctor story, The Aztecs. Then the episode we have been waiting for months, The Impossible Astronaut.

Also, a look back on the life of Elisabeth Sladen, our Sarah Jane Smith.

And of course, your feedback.

Doctor Who on Xbox LIVE

Here’s a way to get the word out that the new series of Doctor Who is ready to launch soon. Advertise to the millions of gamer geeks on Xbox LIVE.

That is exactly what Microsoft and BBC America are doing.  They are crossing genres to reach a whole other branch of customers.

I, for one, am excited.  Being a fan of DW already, I was aware of the release date.  But, now, I can have my very own TARDIS gamer picture.  I have been waiting for three years, since I fist signed on to the service to have a DW themed picture on my gamertag.  And I can now say that I will probably never change it again.
