Description

Steven Schapansky (Radio Free Skaro, The Memory Cheats) and Erika Ensign (Verity!, Total Party Kill) are married Doctor Who fans (who also co-produce a fiction podcast for Uncanny Magazine). This is a podcast where they watch every Doctor Who story ever made, from start to finish. Each episode is recorded live on a red couch. No, they have no “schedule”. They’re lazy. Want proof?

Best Lazy Docents Ever

It’s so generous of these two to invite us into sharing their affection for this odd wonderful thing that is Doctor Who.

I like how quiet it is

I like the sound effect when it comes on. Bling. And their nice conversation. It’s good to sleep to. And also listen to at regular times

These two podcasters are in my top 10, so to have them on the same podcast discussing my favorite television show is such a treat.
