Our three intrepid Podwits sure have watched and talked about a lot of TV shows and movies and books and comics over the years… but how did it all begin?

This week’s podcast features a Podwits first as J. Marcus becomes the first Podwit to dial in from orbit! Exactly what he’s orbiting is unclear, though he seems to have broken the space-time continuum, causing him to speak somewhat out of sync with reality!

Dion is out this week, which means that J steers the TARDIS back to “Doctor Who” again for the appendix to our Year In Rev-Who… But fear not… as the title says, “it’s not what you think!” After just a few moments, the crisis is averted and other topics abound! Why is J. hating on […]
