Scheduling… Epiversary To Christmas

For those of you following along at home, here’s the vortex schedule updated all the way to Christmas…

Our Friday Night Who this week is first Doctor William Hartnell in “The Web Planet”.

Our show this week (#99) will include our reviews of The Web Planet and Big Finish audio adventure #5 “The Fearmonger”.

Thanksgiving weekend is a time to give thanks, a time to celebrate with family, and… Chicago Tardis!  While we unfortunately won’t be in attendence this year, we welcome reports from anyone who does go.  Our Black Friday edition of Friday Night Who (11/23) is tenth Doctor David Tennant in “Smith And Jones”.

And since we’ve already reviewed the episode, our 100th Epiversary will be dedicated to all sorts of other things!  It’s a massive feedback show, so if you have been thinking about writing us, nows the time!  We’d love to hear from all our listeners!  Other things on tap include CHICAGO TARDIS! CYBERMEN! DALEKS! DINOSAURS ON A SPACESHIP! SONIC SCREWDRIVER! TIME LORDS! BEST OF LISTS! BIG FINIGH! STORMAGEDDON, DARK LORD OF ALL! FLYING MONKEYS! (Okay, I can’t guarantee the monkeys will show, but still…) HUGE THINGS AFOOT!

FNW on 11/30 features fourth Doctor Tom Baker in one of my favorite stories, “The Invisible Enemy”.

Our show that week (TTV #101) is our reviews of season three of The Sarah Jane Adventures.  (Better start watching now…)

The first Friday Night Who of Dec (12/7) is another Tom Baker, “The Sunmakers”.

Traveling The Vortex #102 is the long delayed Companion Archive: K9! (Only been promising Keith this for… well, forever).  We’ll review both “The Invisible Enemy” and “The Sunmakers”.

Glenn leaves us for his Disney World vacation this week, so FNW on 12/14 is the two part “The Pandorica Opens” / “The Big Bang” starring eleventh Doctor Matt Smith.

Since Glenn will be gone, It will be just Keith and I for TTV #103, so here come some more Book Reviews!  Keith will be discussing Touched By An Angel (11th Doctor) by Jonathon Morris while I tackle Apollo 23 (11th Doctor) by Justin Richards.

12/21 our Friday Night Who is by request! Third Doctor Jon Pertwee in “The Time Monster”.

Next up a treat, Adversary Archive: The Master II for traveling the vortex show #104, as we review “The Time Monster” and Big Finish #21 “Dust Breeding”.

We’ll be celebrating Christmas just a smidge late, with Friday Night Who happening on 12/28 with tenth Doctor David Tennant in “The Christmas Invasion”.

And then our show that week will be covering the brand new (as of yet still unnamed) Matt Smith eleventh Doctor Christmas Special!

Which brings us all the way up to 2013.  I’d like to divulge whats coming next year, but the truth is, not even I know that yet! Stay tuned true believers!

Run Up To An Epiversary

As discussed on this week’s podcast, here’s the upcoming schedule for those that like to follow along at home.

And then a whole episode devoted to this classic on Traveling The Vortex #96.

Friday Night Who on 11/2 is the new to DVD in North America release of “The Ambassadors Of Death” with third Doctor Jon Pertwee.  Due to it’s length, we’re breaking it in two and only doing the first four parts this night.
