With Blogger mucking around - and in my opinion totally messing up - with their interface, it looks as the days of fresh, written, content on my beloved, 14-year-old HEROPRESS blog are coming to an end. I took a look at Wordpress and very quickly came to the conclusion that maybe restarting my podcast would better scratch my blogging itch.

My quick review of last night's Doctor Who season finale, The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos. Certainly one of the stronger episodes of a very uneven season. We also have a voicemail message from Ivy (aka The Happy Whisk). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tim-knight/message

My rambling thoughts on this week's episode of Doctor Who. Sadly another disappointing story in a season of underwhelming outings. PLUS, my first voicemails!!!
