The only Doctor Who podcast to tackle 5 seasons of the 3rd Doctor in only 2 years! Joy Piedmont and Kyle Anderson do a deep dive on one story from the Jon Pertwee tenure of Doctor Who every month, talking about its themes, origins, historical context, and all-around cool factor. After all, who's more suave than the Third Doctor?

And we've come to the end of Five Years Rapid, which is what we'll call season 1 of a Doctor Who podcast from Kyle and Joy. (More on that later.) In this final FYR, we give you our top 5 and bottom 3 stories, our Senior Superlatives, and try to summarize the Third Doctor era as succinctly as possible. As you can see, it's our longest ever episode. …

It's the end...but the moment has been prepared for. Wait, no, that's a different final story. We did it! We have come to the end of the five year that have indeed been rapid. Joy and Kyle discuss "Planet of the Spiders," a beloved story that has a lot to recommend it...and a lot of not great stuff too. Like, more that people like to remember. Let'…

It's the beginning of the end. Sad face. Our journey through the Third Doctor's reign begins its inevitable march toward the finish. But at least we have a really fun one to talk about --- "The Time Warrior!" Written by Robert Holmes, this story introduces the Sontarans, the word Gallifrey, and most importantly, brand new companion, the amazing Sar…

We finish up another season of the Third Doctor with a beloved classic, "The Green Death." And who better to join us for a discussion into Jo Grant's final story than returning champion Sage Young?! We get into maggots, miners, and meet-cutes in this truly legendary Doctor Who story.By Joy Piedmont and Kyle Anderson

This month, Kyle and Joy begin season 10 and with it an anniversary story! "The Three Doctors" gives us the return of Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor and William Hartnell's First Doctor--kind of. We discuss the ways in which the various characters come across, and the truly irritating way the Brigadier is presented. And we answer the question: ca…

This month finds Joy and Kyle lost at sea! Well, not "lost" exactly, but definitely adrift in the action-heavy story "The Sea Devils," which finds the Master in a prison castle, the Navy in full force, and the Doctor trying to talk to the Silurians' less interesting cousins. We've got sword fights, hovercrafts, and land mines, but do we have any re…

Hi everyone! Kyle and Joy break off another season of Jon Pertwee goodness with "Day of the Daleks"! And we're not alone. Joining us in this go-round is our good friend Sage Young from Head Over Feels. It's a grand old time! We support Black Lives Matter and condemn police brutality. If you'd like to find ways you can help, please click the links b…

This month (from quarantine, of course) Joy and Kyle discuss the final story of season 8, "The Daemons." Here we have the first of the stories written by Robert Sloman and Barry Letts (under the name Guy Leopold) and it's a supremely odd mixture of sci-fi and the occult. Plus, we get Reverend Magister, so that's fun too. Satanism, white witches, fo…

This month Joy and Kyle were in the same room! Granted it was at Gallifrey One back in February, but still. And they celebrate by talking about Colony in Space, the penultimate story from the Third Doctor's second season. It's not the most fondly remembered story, but maybe it should be? It's got more going on than you probably thought.…

Is it the best Doctor Who story ever, or just the best classic series story ever? That's already a high bar, but Joy and Kyle think "Inferno," the final story of the Third Doctor's first season, clears it handily. From the tone to the performances, to especially the inventive storytelling, this is upper echelon stuff. It's just too bad we have to s…

This month, Joy and Kyle get spacey. For the Third Doctor's first foray into the stars (though not in the TARDIS), we've got "The Ambassadors of Death," a pretty stellar (ha) story that has Malcolm Hulke's funk all over it. Plus Liz Shaw looking pretty dark Daphne-from-Scooby-Doo-ish. If you'd like to help out #WhoForSchools, please visit the websi…

This month, the Barry Letts era begins! Just one story in, the Jon Pertwee years of Doctor Who change drastically. Luckily, they change in a great story! Joy and Kyle discuss "Doctor Who and the Silurians," a very important story in the annals of the show. Not only are Silurians a fascinating and complicated race, they also have weird third eyes! M…
