Episode 1-112: Day of The Doctor Review Live at CONsole Room 2015 It’s the last day of CONsole Room 2015 and Ben & Charlie are reviewing the 50th anniversary story “Day Of The Doctor” in front of a live studio audience. There’s news, opinions and we have an all new edition of “Stump The Ben”. So please listen in and if you want to share your opinion you can always e-mail us at theomegapodcast@gmail.com.    

CONsole Room 2015 is right around the corner and Ben & Charlie decided to talk about audio and comic book stories and then review the docudrama "An Adventure in Space & Time". Did it live to the podcasters expectations? Did it live up to yours? Please throw in your 2 cents by sending us an email to theomegapodcast@gmail.com because we would love to hear what your thoughts are on this historical event  

On the fourteenth edition of Reality Bomb we prepare for the onslaught of series eight by holding our first ever New Season Hype News Quiz featuring Felicity Brown and Head Over Feels' Kim Rogers. Also, Graeme Burk interviews Jason Tucker of CONsole Room and Mike Doran of Who Party Toronto about what's possible for small market Doctor Who conventions in an age of mega conventions and Greg McElhatton discovers it's not so comfortable in the Gallery of the Underrated when you're defending The Space Museum. Plus two superfan missing episode hunters get their own sitcom and a song about that most forbidden love!

On the eleventh edition of Reality Bomb we have a bootleg tape of Graeme Burk and Alex Kennard at their latest live show recorded at CONsole Room in Minneapolis in May. Featuring an interview with Arnold T Blumberg and Robert Smith? about the new Doctor and a TARDIS trivia quiz with Steven K. Manfred, Kathryn Sullivan, Bill Evenson, and Lars Pearson.  And it's time to do a security check as The Ambassadors of Death is in the Gallery of the Underrated with the AV Club's Christopher Bahn. All this plus special guest Sophie Aldred sits down for an interview and performs in a comedy sketch with Arnold T. Blumberg, Alex Kennard, Laura Gerald and Bill Evenson! NOTE: We really mean it. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the sound quality is about the same as a concert bootleg. 

This week's ep starts with several announcements (including a contest!) and our usual Doctor Who happy-things. After that, we get down to business with a fascinating and surprisingly multi-faceted topic. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we talk traitors--those baddies (and occasionally goodies) who sell out their own people and side with the invaders, oppressors, and other villains. Why do they do it? What motivations are the most interesting? Which lend themselves best to scenery-chewing? Now the usual chit-chat is out of the way, let's get on to more important things, like a CONTEST! If you want to win a copy of Paul Cornell's new novel The Severed Streets, leave us a comment below and let us know! (Personal recommendation: Do enter to win! I really enjoyed the first book, London Falling, and I can't wait to dig into this one!) ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Katrina snapped up the Humble Doctor Who Comics Bundle! Erika is thrilled to hear the 12th Doctor won't flirt! Lynne is also stoked about the Doctor Who Humble Bundle, especially the Doctor Who: Legacy bit, because she's rocking that game! Deb... talks about geek-parenting on the Nerdology podcast! appreciates new fan-run Doctor Who conventions like CONsole Room and the upcoming (second annual) L.I. Who! cheers because Rachel Talalay will direct Doctor Who!
