A Hamster With a Blunt Penknife - a Doctor Who Commentary podcast

0

Join Joe Ford as he waltzes all around the world (via whatever means the internet allows) and undertakes Doctor Who commentaries with a wide range of wonderful contributors. Fans, podcasters, online reviewers, writers, actors...the USP of this podcast is it's variety of guests and the fact that they all bring their own unique perspective to the podcast. The guest chooses the story, be it one they love, hate or are completely indifferent, and amongst the gossip is trivia, critique and personal experience.

    This show is wonderfully silly!
    I love Joe Ford from the Untitled Star Trek Podcast and he gets really great guests from around the world of Doctor Who fandom to do commentaries on episodes from classic and modern Who. Joe is super funny, occasionally crude, and as camp as the day is long! PS Joe, if you were to pick one Who villain or monster to be a member of Parliament, who would it be and why?
  • Norman Ashby
    Fun commentary
    Terrific podcasts that don’t always stick to the episode but cover all of Doctor Who, by experts that don’t take it too seriously.
  • T.Ross A
    Always a good time
    I love this podcast. Joe is a stellar host and has the best guests. Full disclosure he was kind enough to invite me on once. Joe and his guest are smart, funny, and thought provoking. Everyone who loves Doctor Who should give this great show a listen.
