Welcome to the newest episode of my 'Festive Flashback' series for the holidays! This time I'll be chatting about the first festive special of the Steven Moffat era, 'A Christmas Carol', from way back in Christmas 2010 – complete with a grumpy old miser, a girl in a fridge, Rory and Amy dressing up for Honeymoon shenanigans, a crashing space liner,…

Welcome to the newest episode of my 'Festive Flashback' series for the holidays! This time I'll be chatting about 'The End of Time' (part one only), from way back in Christmas 2009 – which includes the beginnings of the 'death march' to regeneration for the Tenth Doctor, some bizarre shenanigans with the Master, Wilf being super adorable (as always…

Welcome to the newest episode of my 'Festive Flashback' series for the holidays! This time I'll be chatting about 'The Next Doctor', from way back in Christmas 2008 – which includes a new-kinda-sorta-but-not-really Doctor, our incumbent Tenth Doctor, and the awesome-but-definitely put-upon companion Rosita, all three having a fun Victorian Christma…

Welcome to the newest episode of my 'Festive Flashback' series for the holidays. This time I'll be chatting about both 'Voyage of the Damned', as well as the mini-episode 'Time Crash', both from way back in Christmas 2007. Enjoy the ride! Terminus Podcast -- Episode 38 – Festive Flashback: Voyage of the Damned & Time Crash Table of Contents: 0:00:0…

Terminus Podcast -- Episode 37 – Festive Flashback: The Runaway Bride Table of Contents: 0:00:00 – Opening and Welcome …

Episode 36 – Festive Flashback: Christmas Invasion & Born Again Table of Contents: 0:00:00 – Opening, Welcome,…

On this episode, after a little unexpected pandemic hiatus, I'm finally back again! And this time it's with a bonus episode featuring something that's a bit off the beaten path for my usual fare: a personal story-time episode of sorts! So, please join me as I fully recount the detailed story about how I got into Doctor Who in the first place -- way…

On this episode, I take a small unexpected little detour from my recent 'Spark Joy' series to share my reaction to and thinky thoughts about the new trailer for series 12, as well as some squee about the recent 56th Doctor Who Anniversary, and a wee bit of pondering about my tentative 2020 podcast schedule. It's a bit of an emotional roller coaster…

So, on this episode, I continue my journey through my 'Spark Joy' series with a little story that gives me so much happiness: 'K-9 and Company'! Now this is basically a bit of a Halloween episode (albeit a day-ish late due to some unforeseen technical issues), as well as a bit of an early Christmas episode, so there's all sort of festivities within…

On this episode, I take a small little detour from my recent 'Spark Joy' series to share all of my squeeful adventures at DragonCon 2019 with you guys, including – spoilers! – meeting David Tennant, Freema Agyeman, and Catherine Tate, as well as several other things that happened at the convention. Heck, I even time-stamped them all for those of yo…

On this episode, I continue my happy foray into my new Falling-in-Love-with-Doctor-Who-Again series -- again called "Spark Joy," because I'm a dork – with a very squeeful and, honestly, a little bit vulnerable review of my favorite Twelfth Doctor story, "Heaven Sent". And, yes, because of who I am as a person, I do go on quite a bit about it, so yo…

On this episode, I start my foray into my new Falling-in-Love-with-Doctor-Who-Again series -- called 'Spark Joy', because I'm a dork – with a squeeful review of my favorite new series story, "Amy's Choice". Now, to be honest, I didn't really have a clue how truly controversial this episode was until I heard the new-ish Verity! Podcast episode chatt…

First off, quick production note: For whatever reason, I kept calling Malorie Blackman “Marjorie Blackman” in my review. And I have no idea why. I might’ve just been nervous from not having recorded in so long. Or I might’ve been struggling with having less notes in front of me than I usually do. I’m not sure. Either way, I deeply apologize for get…

Yes, this is likely not the podcast episode that you're looking for. Fear not, though, as I do plan to review the episodes of Series 11 with Jodie, it's just that I'd planned to release this right before the new series started airing, but life intervened. Still, despite the awkward timing, I worked hard on it, so I still wanted to go ahead get it o…

Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you: I'm finally back! And in tow I've got some Seventh Doctor fangirling, some squee about guesting on other lovely podcasts, some fannish love for things like Georgia Tennant and Doctor Who calendars, and, most importantly, a very belated review of 'Oxygen', replete with chat about Punk Rock Doctor Who taking down…

Just a fun little diversion that's full of All Kinds of Happy to do a little work toward combating some of life's Really Hard Stuff these days. Think of it as a Happy Fandom Time...Dilation! #happinesswillprevail Oh, and there's some bonus Halloween-related Doctor Who recommendations as well! Enjoy the ride! Mini Episode 4 – Happiness Will Prevail!…

And here's a bonus episode for all of you -- all just a wee little diversion from my previously scheduled review episode (which I'm getting back to very soon!), full of my belated thoughts on Jodie Whittaker and her recent casting as the Thirteenth Doctor. So, please join me as I discuss Jodie herself, as well as Chris Chibnall's soon-to-be steward…

Hello everyone! And welcome any new listeners! So, my episode reviewing 'Knock Knock' is finally here! And this time around I talk lots about everything from my experiences at the recent local Doctor Who convention 'Wholanta', to laying down a few delightful podcast recommendations, to some musing on the whole Race!Fail period of S3 and all that re…

Greetings Earthlings! This is Narco, from the planet Vicodin. The human in charge of this podcast has just been released from false imprisonment, as we had originally believed it was impersonating our Grand Senator Krog Krog, but was in fact just incapacitated from a recent primitive human surgery. This recording was found on its person and is -- a…

So, my episode reviewing 'The Pilot' is finally here! Yes, there were some technical errors and issues (quite a few), as well as Life Stuff that got in the way, but I bested them and finally was able to pull it all together for you here today (albeit with a bit of a sore throat that makes my voice crack much like male puberty at times, but oh well,…

I'm back! Yes, another (unexpected) hiatus down and here I am again! Yeah, as I say in my introduction, I've been really behind on podcasting these last few months due to dealing with some fairly heavy medical stuff, but, despite all that, I'm hoping to get back on the saddle and really determined to get this podcast whipped back into shape. So, in…

Just on the tail end of a American Thanksgiving celebrations and chaos, here is the newest episode of 'Terminus', wherein I discuss the S4 story, 'The Fires of Pompeii'. All as a continuation, of course, of my ongoing 'Random Fandom Episode Generator' series. Inside you'll find squee about regeneration-related anniversaries, Doctor Who on big scree…

We are returned! We are here! And on this episode of 'Terminus', I discuss Leela of the Sevateem's debut story 'The Face of Evil'. All as a continuation, of course, of my ongoing 'Bigger on the Inside' series about some of my favorite companion's first stories. This one is especially happy-making and sentimental for me, by the way, as Leela was act…

On this episode of 'Terminus', I discuss the 2011 love-letter-to-'Doctor Who'-story, 'The Doctor's Wife'. Inside you'll find some Neil Gaiman love, some supporting and main cast love, some shipping love (mostly TARDIS/Doctor and Amy/Eleven, natch), some open communication love, and hell, even also some podcast love and some arguably-Royalist love. …

On this episode, my discussion is probably equal parts raves and equal parts rants (I'm not so good at math, but that sounds about right) and overall just A WHOLE LOTTA FEELS. Seriously, this is probably the most shiptastic episode I've ever done (Martha/Doctor is still sort of my OTP), so that shippy aspect could possibly put people off, but, hey,…

On this belated episode, I indulge in some Andrew Cartmel love, I lament a bit about my current state of Moffat-Hate-Fatigue, I feel far too many feels discussing 'Husbands of River Song', I rant a bit about the show's portrayal of Rose and her relationship with the Doctor (contrasting it with River and the Doctor's relationship, natch), and I even…

I've long heard tales from other podcasters of 'cursed' episodes that have either been lost to time or were just vast struggles to get out. So, I guess it was inevitable that I'd have one of those misfortunes myself. Yes, this episode had tons of stumbling blocks, almost too many to name, but its finally here (albeit about 2 months late!). I do hop…

OMG, I'm back! Is anyone still out there? *crickets* Um, maybe not. Anyway, it's really good to be back, finally. I've had tons of Big Life Stuff pod-blocking me all year, but I think I'm now in a good place to get back aboard the good-ship Terminus. Admittedly I was a bit under the weather recording the episode, but I was just so determined to get…

A little shorter of an episode than usual for me, but also one a bit on the political side of things this time around (yet again -- though hopefully this won't be a usual thing), here is my belated episode discussion of the recent Mark Gatiss story, 'Sleep No More'. Inside you'll find some happy Jessica Jones gushing, some allusions to ancient rad …

Coming to you a bit later than I'd planned (bad head cold + some Jessica Jones bingeing is a deadly combination for this podcaster, apparently), here is my episode discussion of the recent Zygon 2-parter. This was definitely one of my more personal episodes and certainly most political (which is admittedly odd to me), but then since the story was v…

Herein I present a somewhat belated episode, wherein Clara completely steals the show for me, even with her little bit of screen-time in the second part, and, yeah, like a fool I'm just left making grabby hands at the screen for her. And also wherein I randomly have a bit of a go at RTD a few times during the show, which was admittedly not too pret…

So, I'm currently running about a week behind on my releases, so here's a rather belated chat from me about the recent Doctor Who episode 'Before the Flood', all coming at you from somewhere adrift in the Doctor's timeline (forgot to check the helmic regulator for more details than that!) . Yeah, methinks you guys subscribing to the Terminus RSS fe…

Long podcast episode is long. And late. But them's the breaks during a confluence of technical issues and illness, I suppose? Still, it's finally here, nonetheless! Now, full disclosure, this episode was actually recorded before the second part 'Before the Flood'' aired, so obviously some of my speculation and predictions didn't quite turn out to c…

Despite some trials with illness and internet issues (curses, Mercury Retrograde!), this intrepid podcaster has finally prevailed and so thus, this episode is finally done and dusted and ready for your consumption. BUILD HIGH FOR HAPPINESS! Oh, wait...that's another story. Anyway, within you will find my discussion of the conclusion of the S8 openi…

A little later than I anticipated -- still getting used to fitting in all the podcast work all by my lonesome! -- but here is my discussion of the S8 opening story, "The Magician's Apprentice"! Of course, how this story is going to end is the grand mystery of the hour, but that's cool, I still found there was more enough to talk about within part o…

Finally, here's my belated thoughts on Series 8 and the incumbent Twelfth Doctor, which are admittedly -- spoiler! -- a full-on love fest. This was recorded the next day after I recorded my previous episode about the 10th anniversary of New!Who, so I apologize that my voice was still a bit crackly from getting over that sore throat, but I think it …

IT'S ALIVE! Galvanizing lightning has struck, the stars have aligned, the hecatomb of Daleks sacrificed, and despite recording with a bit of a scratchy-and-sore throat, a new episode is now in the can! It's debatable if it is a 'proper' episode, I suppose, as the format is a bit different from usual, so I've decided to just call it a 'mini-episode'…

So, after about six months of unintended hiatus (!), the ninth episode of 'Terminus' is now finally finished and available for you! So, life sort of got on top of me during that time, derailing me completely and utterly, but I'm back to give things another go with a belated review of the 50th anniversary story, 'The Day of the Doctor' (I've postpon…

So, after a month of waiting, the eighth episode of 'Terminus' is now finally finished and available for you! Many, many apologies, of course, but now that I'm finally past all the travel and the consequent illness (the derby tournament equivalent of con crud, methinks), I'm hoping I can start to get things back on track (I've had to juggle my sche…

After fighting with some technical issues and going on travels around the Southeastern US, I'm finally back with the newest episode of Terminus! On this seventh episode of Terminus, join me as I chat about the serial 'The Three Doctors', unofficially the celebratory story for the 10th anniversary of 'Doctor Who'. I also chat about things like the n…

Hoorah! Yes, the newest episode is finally here! So, on this sixth episode of the Terminus podcast (released during the two days I'm actually at home and not traveling during these two weeks!), join me as I chat about some of the more *obscure* Doctor Who spin-offs (and try and not stumble over saying 'BBV' many, many times). This time around I'm f…

On this also-a-bit-late fifth episode of the Terminus podcast, join me as I chat about how I define queer for myself, the Eighth Doctor television movie, thoughts about what we currently know about the Last Great Time War (possibly soon to be Jossed by the upcoming 50th anniversary special!), and the Atlanta-based fan series 'The Forgotten Doctor'.…

On this super-duper-late fourth episode of the Terminus podcast, join me as I chat about the recent reveal of who will be the next Doctor (on which there's lots of geeking and cheering from me, of course!) and how one of my favorite classic Doctors is coming to a convention near me next year (and I'll hopefully get to meet him for the first time!).…

On the third episode of the Terminus podcast, join me as I chat about the Seventh Doctor. I ramble on about my feelings regarding his character and story arc, as well as thoughts on his companions, my favorite serials of his, and, of course, the Cartmel Masterplan! Plus, there's a longer than usual Happy-Fandom-Time-cum-News segment (because there'…

On the second episode of the Terminus podcast, join me as I chat about the Eleventh Doctor and my feelings about his character and story arc so far. I also discuss my thoughts on his impending regeneration and there's the intro of the newest reoccurring show component -- Happy Fandom Time! -- where I discuss what I'm currently geeking about in the …

On the premiere episode of the Terminus podcast, join me -- Nicole Mazza -- as I talk a bit about how this particular podcast came into being, my own Whovian background stretching back to the mid-1980s, my favorites and not-so-favorites in the world of Doctor Who, and, finally, future plans for this podcast. Enjoy the ride! Episode 1 – Not a Leper …
