There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things. Things which act against everything that we believe in. They must be fought.

In the meantime, why not listen to some Clever, Clever, Clever people (and me, I suppose) talking about The Moonbase?

"Oh look, the French government has collapsed. Again. But don't worry, the president has already appointed another prime minister. They'll probably be gone in a few months' time."

Date of statement: September 2024, December 2024 or September 2025?

Really really excited for this. @devondan.bsky.social has done a *phenomenal* job on the artwork!

Joe Ford @docoho44.bsky.social · 3d

We’re rebranding with brilliant new artwork and a terrific logo for The Hamster Book Club - you’ll be seeing art for Benny, Ace, Compassion, Sam and more! In January, the Book Club will become its own podcast with fresh interviews, lots of exciting new episodes and all the old eps transferring!

Wasn't expecting the South Park movie of all things to come up on a Doctor Who podcast but it made my morning.

Michael Mills @michaelmills.bsky.social · 4d

It’s a Hamster Book Club/Too Hot for TV crossover as we take a look at Doctor Who tie-in media’s efforts to tackle mental health. These pics probably tell you how well it goes. @docoho44.bsky.social @toohot4tv.bsky.social

One of us loved this book, one of us hated it and one of us sat squarely in the middle but doesn't ever want to read another Doctor Who book after this. Can Doctor Who tackle mental health sensitively in prose? @toohot4tv.bsky.social

It's time for another trip to The Library of Impossible Things.

This time I'm joined by the marvellous @melvinpena.bsky.social for a chat about finding Doctor Who as an adult, how it's long history inspired him and what's the one podcast he's most proud of.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
