Sinopsis
Doctor Who news and discussion, commentaries, interviews, reviews, and features. We take an in-depth look at the latest episodes, classic releases, DVDs, comics, magazines, Big Finish, videogames. Hosted by Kasterborous founder Christian Cawley, renowned Tenth Doctor cosplayer Brian A. Terranova and the Troughtonesque graphic designer James McLean, weve been pumping out weekly (and occasionaly bi-weekly) Doctor Who podcasts since 2007. Plus virtually anything else we can think of, from Star Wars and The X Files to Ripper Street and Game of Thrones, by way of the Bond and Marvel universes. Oh, and probably some Gatchaman.

20: Did The Also People finish off the story -- or start it?
01/06/2011 Duración: 36minIt's podKast (with a "K") time again, and this week James McLean, Brian Terranova and Christian Cawley mull over the events of The Almost People, in particular THAT cliffhanger and speculate on how A Good Man Goes to War might play out... In addition, we have a chat about the issue of spoilers, and just when it is safe for a fan to go online, what sites to go to, etc., in order to avoid spoilers. We wonder if a "fascist spoilerphobia" has been borne out of Steven Moffat's recent (and unrelated) dismissal of the people who shared plot spoilers with the rest of the world following the preview screenings for The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon. We always want to hear from our listeners, and will address any comments that you have, so feel free to leave your thoughts below!

19: The Rebel Flesh: What the podcast team think?
25/05/2011 Duración: 31minIt's that time of the week again, esteemed Kasterborous readers, where James McLean, Brian A. Terranova and Christian Cawley get together to discuss the week's happening's in the PodKast (with a "K")! As you may have guessed, this time around we share our thoughts on The Rebel Flesh as well as speculate on how we think it might conclude this week in The Almost People. Additionally, we speculate on the nature of ideas and fandom feeding Doctor Who, while Brian reveals that he ascended during the cancelled rapture last weekend. We also discuss Matthew Graham's previous story, Fear Her.

18: Is The Doctor's Wife an instant Neil Gaiman classic?
18/05/2011 Duración: 36minThis week's podKast (with a "K") features Christian Cawley and James McLean (and improved sound quality!) discussing the wonderful episode The Doctor's Wife as only they can, as well as the recent Torchwood: Miracle Day teaser trailer and a couple of Dalek-related book releases!There is little criticism that can be levelled at The Doctor's Wife, but Torchwood is a different matter, so fans of the first two series of the out-of-control alien-sh*gging drama should probably avoid this section.However if you have £30 burning a hole in your pocket and like Daleks, The Dalek Handbook and The Man Who Invented the Daleks: The Strange Worlds of Terry Nation are both featured this week.

17: The Curse of the Black Spot, Lis Sladen, and audience figures
13/05/2011 Duración: 39minA little later than planned, it's time for the Kasterborous podKast with a K to cast its eye on last week's Curse of the Black Spot, as well as look forward to Neil Gaiman's The Doctor's Wife and even chat about the BBC Four tribute to the late Elisabeth Sladen this week in the shape of The Hand of Fear. Joining me this time are Brian A Terranova and Patrick Riley. Things went a little crazy this week; the slightly reduced sound quality can be explained away by the fact that we were in fact podcasting from 1976, for reasons that will become clear... We also chat about the recent controversy (or should that be storm in a teacup) concerning Doctor Who audience figures and the machinations of various printed organs to bash the series.

15: The Impossible Astronaut reviewed
27/04/2011 Duración: 32minWelcome, ladies and gentlemen, to this week's Doctor Who podcast, which features Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova! The Kasterborous podKast team will be discussing, of course, The Impossible Astronaut and the various thoughts, impressions and ideas they got from the first episode of Doctor Who Series 6, in a wide-ranging discussion that takes in more than just a few observations about the Doctor's apparent death at the beginning of the episode. We also chat about various other related matters, and we reckon you will find this to be a fascinating discussion of The Impossible Astronaut. Oh, and look out for Christian Cawley's rant to the BBC One schedulers concerning the Scare the Hare/Doctor Who/So You Think You Can Dance scheduling. Let us know what you think!

14: Doctor Who second series highs and lows
21/04/2011 Duración: 33minAs we approach the second run of episodes for Matt Smith's Doctor under Steven Moffat's second season of stewardship of Doctor Who, James McLean and Christian Cawley discuss the various second series of every Doctor (save the two who didn't enjoy a second run of episodes), from William Hartnell through to David Tennant. What did we find? Well there's a large improvement in the second runs, it is fair to say, and a lot of strong episodes. But as to whether it stands up as a rule in Doctor Who that the star's second year in the show is better than the first, you'll have to listen to find out... Incidentally, a big thank you to everyone who has tuned into our new regular podKasts so far. If there is anything we can give a mention to, anyone you want us to say hello to or even if you just want to get in touch please leave a message below, and please share this with as many people as you think would be interested in having a listen!

20/04/2011 Duración: 08minSo, we heard the news, and we were utterly stunned.

12: Remember Abslom Daak?
14/04/2011 Duración: 33minThis week's Kasterborous podKast features a fascinating discussion with Gareth Kavanagh about the second Doctor Who Magazine love-in that is Vworp Vworp! #2!Long-term readers of Kasterborous will recall that the first issue of Vworp Vworp! featured a couple of contributions from this very site, not least in the shape of part 1 of Time Leech, our own Doctor Who comic strip.But Vworp Vworp! was much more than a fanzine with a comic strip in it - rather it was a thing of beauty, with the professional quality design, printing and writing contributing to a pinnacle of fanzine production. In many ways it was like a copy of DWM that is itself about DWM.One of the key characters in the early days of Doctor Who Magazine (back in the Weekly/Monthly days) was Abslom Daak, the insane Dalek killer, and his band of Star Tigers. Daak features heavily in the next issue of Vworp Vworp!, and Gareth Kavanagh tells us a little bit about this and some other features coming up in the magazine.EDITOR'S NOTE:This is an archive podca

11: Have You Ever Met the Doctor?
07/04/2011 Duración: 22minIt's podKast time again, people, and this week James McLean and Christian Cawley discuss a few interesting points regarding the recent trailers and the revelation that one of our TARDIS travelling heroes won't be around to see their next birthday.In addition to this we cover the recent appearances of Neil Gaiman, Mark Sheppard and Toby Haynes at last weekend's Wondercon and wander off at a tangent to discuss meeting and sending letters to stars of Doctor Who!You might even get to hear about the time Christian encountered one Tom Baker...There is also sage advice for convention goers - but you'll have to listen below right until the end to find out what it is!This is the third new Kasterborous podKast (with a K, right?) since its return in March, revived in a new form on a weekly basis!Get in touch If you subscribe to our podcast, please head to Apple Podcasts to leave a rating and review.

10: Goodnight, Burbank's Hayden Black and Laura J. Silverman
31/03/2011 Duración: 54minIt's time for a new Kasterborous podKast (we told you they would be more regular!) and this time around we've plenty to squeeze into the 50 minute format, which should suit you fine as you make the daily commute.

Silverman.We had lots of fun with this one, which also features James McLean and Christian Cawley discussing the recent Doctor Who Series 6 teaser trailers.Get in touch Subscribe to our podcast?

9: Return of the podKast and Matt Smith spotted on location
25/03/2011 Duración: 38minWell, it’s taken quite a bit of work to get this far, but I am delighted, ladies and gentlemen, to announce the return of the Kasterborous podKast (with a “K”, remember?).It is remarkable that we started with the very first one back in 2007, and in the intervening years it is fair to say that we have been summarily trumped by competitors who regularly issue good quality and compelling podcasts.Except… they’re not Kasterborous, are they?Now the story of our latest podkast (with a “K”, yeh?) is an interesting one that goes back to September last year. At the time of his trip to the UK, Brian A. Terranova and myself had hoped to record a lot of traditional podkast material, but sadly this didn’t transpire.So, we’ve pushed on with a slightly different take on the traditional Kasterborous podKast (with a… oh sod it).We’re breathing new life into the old girl with what we hope will be a team approach. Patrick and Brian will hopefully be taking part at some point in the not too distant future (along with any other K

8: Brian's Doctor Who figures and Talons of Weng Chiang
28/06/2009 Duración: 31minIt's been a long, long time coming, but Brian Terranova and Christian Cawley are pleased to finally announce the arrival of our eighth podKast!We've been putting out podcast material for a few years now but they've unfortunately been very occasional due to some of the demands of doing comedy material in amongst the regular Doctor Who stuff.This time however we've gone for a straighter approach underpinned by our usual jovial and irreverent look at Doctor Who and even peppered the material with music!It's a bit like a Doctor Who radio show!Oh yes - so while we chat about David Tennant, Big Finish, The Talons of Weng Chiang and Brian's collection of Character Options figures you can look forward to a bit of music punctuating proceedings.Get in touch Subscribe to our podcast?
