Living in the countryside, far from the hustle of city centres, is the dream of many large cities inhabitants… We then move away from urban areas and breathe. However, these areas are often underserved by public transport and bicycle infrastructure remains discreet. Households living in these areas often have two vehicles. In most cases, it is precisely with this second vehicle that the daily short trips (home to work, pick-up kids at school, small grocery shopping,…) are made and it is these exact same trips that could be made by bike. SANKA wants to address this issue and replace the second car with its brand new bike: Bob. With Bob, a bike that uses the codes of the car (convertible four-wheeled cargo bike) the startup Sanka, founded by Benoit Tholence, offers a sustainable mobility solution to citizens who do not live in the city center and therefore do not benefit from public transport at hand. The idea behind this extraordinary vehicle, is to be an alternative to households' second cars for daily short trips, less than 10 km, and which require to be able to transport the family comfortably and especially safely. Even if it is almost 2 times smaller than a smart, this bike, allows to be clearly visible by other users on the road. Indeed, country roads are not often equipped with infrastructure for cycling, which makes it dangerous to use them when you are cycling. With Bob, this problem is solved. In addition, the other two major advantages of this solution are that it provides a real reliable and robust electric assistance and enough space to carry 2 children, shopping bags and possibly another adult.Commuting - work, home - school with children, or to the supermarket after school are all possible!You are conquered and you dream of discovering this new low carbon mode of transport? This project that Benoit presents to us is not yet live but will be released at the end of March as a pilot in some communities in Auvergne Rhône Alpes and Burgundy in particular. It will be proposed by the communities, according to a model of long-term rental from individuals. What to broaden the use of the bike, contribute to a revival of road users and soothe our daily journeys that will be done with less noise and gas pollution and especially less stress!To learn more about the genesis of this project, the motivations of the startup Sanka and its founder Benoit Tholence, as well as alternatives to the car for more sustainable and multimodal mobility, listen to this episode!

Christmas Day. It's always easy to remember, as it's on 25 December each year. Except, in 2001, it wasn't - as the Eighth Doctor finds Harry Sullivan doing a crossword outside a cafe. We're looking at 2018 Short Trips subscriber exclusive Tuesday, which was written by Tony Jones. We speak with producer Ian Atkins about this little gem.
Christmas is coming, and we're starting to feel very excited about it. Today, we take a look at one of the lesser-known Big Finish Short Trips, as we put The Caves of Erith - a subscriber-only exclusive - under the microscope. We chat with producer Ian Atkins, and writer Alice Cavender, as we go batty for the festive season!
WE MAKE a fast return to the world of Big Finish Short Trips this week, as we explore The Hall of the Ten Thousand. The Ten Thousand represent everything the Doctor admires. Ingenuity, creativity and triumph of peace over war. So, naturally, he's taken Charlotte Pollard to see them. Kenny and Tinne take a look at this tale, featuring interviews with producer Alfie Shaw and writer Jaine Fenn. You can find out more about her work at www.patreon.com/jainefenn
WE'RE BACK looking at a Big Finish Short Trip, but this time, it's a more recent one. Kenny and guest co-host Matt Michael discuss Death Will Not Part Us, before producer/writer Alfie Shaw explains where the story ideas came from, and sound designer/composer Richard Fox reveals how it all came together in the editing stage.
WE HEAD into new territory for Pieces of Eighth with this week's episode, as we look at a Short Trip from one of Big Finish's early audio collections. We chat with Simon Guerrier about Letting Go, which was commissioned by editor Xanna Eve Chown and appeared on the second volume of the Short Trips audios. It was narrated by India Fisher, and Becca gets jealous (again) that Kenny spoke to someone for the podcast whilst in LA...
Our guest is emerging Big Finish writer Max Kashevsky. He talks about his Short Trips stories "Still Life" and "Salvage", and his forthcoming Eleventh Doctor story "All's Fair". He also gives some advice for aspiring Doctor Who writers.

IT'S A SHORT Trip that has been released four times, it's THAT good. We're talking about Museum Peace, written by James Swallow, which sees Kalendorf from Big Finish's Dalek Empire series encountering the Eighth Doctor in a museum. And there's a Dalek in it too. We speak with James, and also Nicholas Briggs, who narrated the story, as well as doing the music and sound design, for its release as an audio Short Trip. You can find out more about James' work at https://jswallow.com/ and Museum Peace can be bought from the Big Finish website.
Summer is coming up and chances are you might be taking a vacation somewhere. Maybe you booked a cruise, bought airline tickets, or plan on driving to a theme park like Disney World. If so, did you purchase travel insurance? Some consumers buy travel insurance when it comes to big ticket vacations like flying overseas, or booking a cruise. It gives them a little peace of mind just in case something comes up at the last minute and they can't go. But travel insurance isn't just for pricey vacations anymore. Today, Meghan Walch joins us on the On Your Side podcast. She's with InsureMyTrip which sells travel insurance. She says policies are becoming more affordable for travelers who want a "safety net" just in case their travel plans don't work out.
Is there any value in fiction? Vicki doesn't think so. But as the TARDIS is invaded by a robot rabbit and Steven and Vicki become trapped outside, to what lengths must the Doctor go to find their happily ever after? This is an unauthorized reading of a story taken from Doctor Who: Short Trips and Sidesteps, published in 2000 by BBC Books. It is read by Dwayne Bunnoid... em.... Bunney.

Nick and Benji present… The Chat - Christmas Past, Paul Spragg, Short Trips, Lisa Bowerman… Behind-the-scenes: Short Trips - The World Tree… Also Available: Doctor Who - Relative Dimensions.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! We didn't originally plan to do this episode, but the opportunity arose, to bring you some special presents on Christmas Day. Firstly, we've a present for you, dear listener. We've married up Gordon Tipple's original opening narration for the TV Movie, with the soundtrack, to hear how it may originally have sounded. Secondly, we've a present for Becca, as we're joined by a special Christmas Day guest! And finally, we've another present for you all, as we have a reading of the Short Trip Evergreen, which is performed by its original author. We're DEFINITELY finished for this year now - this is our 70th episode of 2022!
IT PROBABLY hasn't escaped your notice, but we're just three days away from Christmas, so it's time we got into the festive spirit. Today, we bring you a reading of a complete Christmas Short Trip, Decorative Purposes. It was the twenty-first short story in the Big Finish printed anthology Short Trips: The Ghosts of Christmas, published in 5 December 2007. It was written by Eddie Robson and featured the Eighth Doctor and Lucie Miller (Kenny's so excited!). After our reading, Eddie joins us for a chat, so sit back, get those chestnuts roasting on an open fire, and enjoy...
TODAY we have our final Short Trip, as we look at The Queen of Eros from Short Trips and Sidesteps. We bring you a full reading of the story, with sound design, followed by a chat with author Trevor Baxendale, and, of course, editor Steve Cole. And that it - the complete run of Sam and the Eighth Doctor on their own!
WE MAY have finished our run of episodes looking at the Eighth Doctor and Sam's adventures in full novel form, but we're completists. There's still gaps. We continue our look at the official BBC Short Trips, as we look at Femme Fatale, by Paul Magrs, as the Doctor and Sam encounter Andy Warhol and Iris Wildthyme. We've a full reading of the story, by James Hadwen-Bennett, followed by chats with editor Steve Cole and Paul.
WE'VE comprehensively covered the first 18 EDAs with the Doctor and Sam... but we don't want to stop there! There's still a few stories featuring this pair to be covered, before Fitz arrives, so we're turning our eye to the world of Short Trips. We've previously covered Bounty, Dead Time and The People's Temple, and since we're completists, it would be wrong not to do their other adventures, published in the BBC Short Trips books. Today, we've got Steve Cole telling us about Model Train Set, as well as a chat with its author, Jonathan Blum.
THE Doctor and Charley Pollard are on the hunt for adventurer Pieter Montemarche, a hero of the Edwardian Adventuress in her youth. But when the duo fail to meet him at several of the locations he's reputed to have visited, they begin to wonder if he has been taken out of time completely... We go behind the scenes of this Big Finish Short Trip from 2016, as writer Ian Atkins and sound designer Rob Nisbet pop in for a chat about bringing this little tale to life.
We resume our journey through the Time War with Big Finish's Short Trips 7.10 - 'All Hands on Deck' and 'Susan's War' The post Episode 528 – Hope You Brought Biscuits appeared first on Traveling the Vortex.
WE'RE DELIGHTED to bring you an exclusive chat with one of the most prolific Doctor Who writers from the 'Wilderness Years', from 1989-2005, Paul Leonard. Paul wrote several Doctor Who novels for Virgin's New Adventures and Missing Adventures ranges, before carrying on and writing for the Eighth Doctor throughout his adventures, with his books including Genocide, Dreamstone Moon, Revolution Man, the acclaimed and much-loved The Turing Test, and The Last Resort. Thanks to fellow EDA writer Nick Walters, we've been able to speak to Paul, and our first chat with him covers the Short Trip The People's Temple, which was later brought to life by Paul McGann, who read it for the Earth and Beyond audio cassette release. We also speak with the story's editor Steve Cole, who explains the background to this story. And thanks to Si Hodges for this week's graphic!
ONE of the wonders of Doctor Who is that it can be set anywhere - a space station, an army base, a service station or even a care home for the elderly. And it's to the latter that we travel this week, as Kenny and Becca find out about another Short Trip from Big Finish, Curse of the Fugue, as they discuss the tale, written by Alice Cavender, and she joins us for a chat, along with producer Ian Atkins and sound designer/musician Steve Foxon. We hear about the recording session that was up against the clock - and why narrator Sheridan Smith was a real star on the day, seeing the job through until the end. The tale was released in April 2016. Also: Be warned! This episode contains Kenny dropping three F bombs at the mention a particular British daily 'newspaper', which is filled with hate and venom, and once turned its ire on our poor beloved Sheridan Smith when she was going through the traumatic loss of her father.
WE'RE BACK in the thick of the Time War in this week's episode, as we find the Fifth Doctor's companion Nyssa caught up in the conflict, on her ship, the Traken. Kenny and Matt discuss the story - as Becca recovers from COVID - and we're joined by writer Rob Nisbet and producer Ian Atkins to discuss A Heart on Both SIdes, a Big Finish Short Trip, released in 2017. And it's only £2.99 - go on, you know you want to buy it, if you've not already heard it!
THIS week's episode of Pieces of Eighth brings you a first - we actually have a reading of a full, officially licensed BBC Doctor Who story (except we've done it unofficially!). We bring you a full reading of Tara Samms' Totem, which originally appeared in the book More Short Trips. It's been performed by Becca, with Kenny on sound design. And then, to top it all off, we've got an interview with Steve Cole, who was the editor of the collection and tells us more about Totem. (And we've got to say thanks to our friends over at Fiction Paradox, the world's only Eighth Doctor BBC Books-dedicated podcast, that they know of) for reminding us of the story, and to those cheeky chappies at The Sirens of Audio podcast, who've previously brought Short Trips to life as readings, for the inspiration to do this)

Lo and behold, a new Doctor Who has appeared! Ncuti Gatwa is the new (but interestingly, not announced as the 14th) Doctor, as seen by an interview on the BAFTAs red carpet with Gatwa himself and one Russell T Davies. With months to go before Jodie Whittaker's final foray as her incarnation of the Doctor and more waiting besides after that, let the baseless speculation commence! We also have news from Big Finish, Dominic Glynn's historic Korg synthesizer can be YOURS (for a price), and the ever-present Timelash! But most importantly…GATWA!

WE HEAD back to the world of Big Finish Short Trips for this week's episode - WHICH HAS SPOILERS!. Kenny and Becca discuss the adventure Foreshadowing, written by Julian Richards and narrated by India Fisher, and Julian joins us for a chat about the creative process, and feature a brief special guest appearance later on from someone who is related to the SPOILER. If you've not heard it, pop over to the Big Finish website, buy it for £2.99, listen, and then listen to us!
Pieces of Eighth returns to the worlds of the Big Finish Short Trips, those sometimes forgotten little gems, bringing us more Doctor Who adventures. This week, Becca and Kenny talk about The Turn of the Screw, and have a ball as they interview producer Ian Atkins about his thinking in commissioning the adventure-packed story, writer Eddie Robson about the creative process, and Yee Jee Tso tells all about performing what was his first audiobook reading. This 'making of' podcast is actually longer than the original story!
Last week, Pieces of Eighth took a step into the Time War... and this week, we're staying there. However, we've gone from a full-cast adventure to a Short Trip, which was written by Eddie Robson, a man who's no stranger to writing Eighth Doctor full cast audios for Big Finish, and produced by Ian Atkins. Join Becca and Kenny as they find out how Susan entered the Time War - and how she got a full-cast box set out of it too...
Pieces of Eighth heads into new territory this week, as we feature a Short Trip from Big Finish. Flashpoint was read by co-host Kenny Smith's favourite, Sheridan Smith, so we have a chat with the range producer Ian Atkins, and writer Andrew Smith, about how Lucie Miller's return to Doctor Who came about. We should point out that Becca is also part of the Smith family, as her dad is one. So really, it's all about the Smiths this week (Morrissey not included).
*Note: this is a bonus to Episode 2 - Should you take short weekend trips? Make sure you listen to that one first before listening to this bonus!You guys know we love traveling. Long vacations, short vacations, we're all about 'em. But how about short vacations within a longer one, kind of like a road trip? Is this sort of condensed traveling beneficial in that you cover a lot more ground -- and see a lot more for it -- in one go? Or is it just as huge pain in the caboose? In this bonus episode we weigh in on all of this with special guests, Kelly (our friend) and Frank (who has the pleasure of being Jamie's dad).

Peri assumes the Doctor has just got his facts wrong, but he is reluctant to accept the Malgarians' uncharacteristic behaviour. What lies behind it, and what is the secret of the Sisters of Serenity?
