1/2/2024
Please welcome back to the podcast our first returning guest, the wonderful Mike from Who Gives A Flux! We discuss the 2023 Christmas special, The Church on Ruby Road.
Mike became a Doctor Who fan with the show’s return in 2005. Ever since, it’s been a constant in his life, culminating in the birth of Who Give A Flux, Mike’s Doctor Who podcast where he discusses with fans their Duds and Studs, amongst other spacey and weird things. His current favourite seasons are 4, 10 and 11… but he’s not committing to an order just yet.

"A Trip to IKEA" (Wild Blue Yonder) with Ianto
12/15/2023
Today, Stephen is delighted to be joined by friend of the pod, Ianto! We discuss the second 60th anniversary special, Wild Blue Yonder.
Ianto has been a Doctor Who fan since childhood, one of his earliest memories being dressing as a cardboard Dalek for a village gala (swipe to see!). He properly got trapped in the vortex at the age of 15 when the show relaunched in 2005, and cannot wait for the new, new era!
