Bleh!

And so it came to pass that the Podtor Whocast hosts took their final places behind their microphones, making ready the podcast that was to come (one of them is quite ill in this episode, for what it's worth).

A stick, a stone!

It begins!

Wrap up warm! We like, vaguely talk about From Raxacoricofallapatorius with Love in passing - we watched it, we broke our rules (and we're doing so again given we're doing Dreamland next rather than before this or during one of our previous episodes but who cares, really) and watched something from 2009 during our 2008 run - before delving into our…
