Twin Cities, Minnesota
In this particularly sexy-voiced Episode 82: Time and the Scrimshaw, Kelvin, Ariel and the entity known as “Pat” discuss some previously underexplored corners of Doctor Who: First up, one of the very earliest First Doctor adventures, Marco Polo; and next, the cactus-heavy and thankfully non-yellowfaced Fourth Doctor episode Meglos.

Listen to us take a deep dive into UNIT family fun time, babble exuberantly and get lots of little details terribly wrong. (Who is Solomon Glitz?) Hear us discuss the naughty interior […]
