DWO WhoCast Episode 81

Posted: 29 Jul 2008 01:00 PM CDT

Welcome back to normality - well, the closest to normality we know as Trev and Tony discuss the latest Big Finish audio play, 'The Death Collectors', rummage around IDW's Doctor Who comics - with a special preview of 'The Forgotton', and release more Joined Up Fandom upon the world. Also, feel Trevor's pain as Tony, for one podcast only, takes control of the edit. With heh, heh, hilarious consequences.

Expect the odd little treat. Along with the news, chit chat and something special at the end of the show, Episode 81 of the DWO WhoCast is just what the Doctor ordered!

We always want your thoughts, (especially when they disagree with Trevor), so please get your feedback into us at feedback@thewhocast.com. MP3s are always preferred. It would be worth the purchase of a microphone for your PC just to hear your thoughts on an upcoming WhoCast!
