Our podcasts

500 Year Diary

500 Year Diary is the companion podcast to Flight Through Entirety. While Flight Through Entirety travels through Doctor Who in chronological order, 500 Year Diary looks at the history of Doctor Who, thematically, tracing topics, ideas and even people through the history of the show.

Flight Through Entirety

Flight Through Entirety is our first and biggest podcast, an ambitious project to cover the Classic Series of Doctor Who in twenty-six or twenty-seven episodes, a project which became a massive undertaking — more than 280 episodes in over nine-and-a-half years, covering the whole of the Classic Series and most of the New Series. It’s funny and silly and occasionally clever, and we’re terribly proud of it.

The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire

The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire is our Doctor Who flashcast. A day or two after each episode of the second RTD era, your Flight Through Entirety hosts convene over the phone to deliver our steaming-hot ill-considered takes on its content and quality.

Untitled Star Trek Project

In Untitled Star Trek Project, Nathan joins forces with Joe Ford from A Hamster with a Blunt Penknife to watch random episodes of all the shows that make up the Star Trek franchise, sometimes providing important production detail and insightful critiques, and sometimes just laughing uproariously at the nonsense of it all.

The Three Handed Game

Celebrating the 1960s icon that is The Avengers, The Three Handed Game selects triptychs of episodes based around specific themes of the 1960s and today. This is a commentary podcast best listened to with the accompanying episode on DVD, Blu-ray, or streaming. And, just to keep things neat, it’s named after an episode of The New Avengers.

The Bjay BJ Game Show

Bjay Hobbs and our own Brendan ‘BJ’ Jones invite you to play a new indie video game each month in The Bjay BJ Game Show. Each game they cover costs less than $20 and can be completed in under 20 hours, making it the perfect show for gamers with packed schedules, tight budgets, or huge game piles of shame. Or, let’s be honest, all three.

Maximum Power

Maximum Power is a co-production with the Trap One podcast. It’s a podcast about Blake’s 7, a BBC show from the 70s and 80s, which, like Space: 1999, firmly plants one foot on each side of the line between nonsense and genius.

Jodie into Terror

Jodie into Terror was our flashcast on the Jodie Whittaker era of Doctor Who — the forerunner to The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire. When we first heard that Jodie Whittaker would be the new Doctor, we realised that we couldn’t wait six or seven years to talk about her historic new era, and so we started to record our ill-judged off-the-cuff reactions to the new episodes just days after they aired.

Bondfinger

Bondfinger was our James Bond commentary podcast, which also ended up covering shows like The Avengers, The Prisoner and even The Champions. It’s our second love, a testament not just to the James Bond movie series and the wonderful sixties TV that influenced it, but also to many glorious evenings at Richard’s place, eating and drinking and laughing ourselves stupid. And it’s the spiritual forerunner of Startling Barbara Bain.
