Our show is dedicated to in-depth discussion about the Doctor Who universe: show and cast commentary, filming locations, rumors, tie-in video games/other products, spin-off series and more.

After a bit of a hiatus, three of our regular hosts from around the globe are back on this episode.  Hypable’s regular Doctor Who writer, Laura Byrne-Cristiano leads the discussion with Jen Lamoreux, and Natalie Fisher joining in. We also have on board a special Whovian guest host, Selina Wilken from the Game of Owns and Vampire Hype podcasts and the leader of the Month of Merlin.

– We kick off our episode talking about what fandoms we’ve been following while we wait for our new Doctor Who fix.

-Next we tackle the latest in Doctor Who Christmas episode news

• How do we feel about the Doctor potentially being Scrooge?
• Vastra, Jenny, and Strax are back. We love these characters and why we think they add depth to the canon.
• Ian McKellen is lending his voice to the snowmen, how cool is that, and why no one being above doing Doctor Who is such a great British commodity.
• Hello chemistry! Given what we have seen so far what do we think of Clara and Jenna-Louise Coleman.

– Moving into our general news section we talk

• The first half of the season DVD extras. Is Donna Von Carlson significant? We blow Selina’s mind on the Torchwood anagram.
• Neil Gaiman is doing a cybermen script that was lost and found. Could we love Neil Gaiman any more, and what do we want from that episode.
• 50th Anniversary,  looks like Tennant and Eccelston are on-board, at least we think so reading between the lines. Is anyone actually surprised?
• There’s a new TARDIS look (note the episode was recorded just prior to the reveal of the entire image) what do we think of the new blue color motif?

– Now that we have had time to digest, in retrospect what did we think of the episodes earlier this year?

• We still don’t get why the Doctor can’t ever see Rory and Amy again when River can.
• Which of the fall episodes are our favorites.
• How does the Rory and Amy departure rank among other companion departures?

– We had a wild ride with Doctor Who in the finals of Hypable’s first ever Battleships. We plot how we are going to take it all the next time.

– To wrap it up, what Whovian loot do we want under our Christmas trees this year?

As we say in the show, our listeners are the most important thing to us. We want you hear from you. What do you want us to discuss besides the upcoming Christmas episode?
