There are hundreds of articles about starting podcasting online, full of helpful and relevant advice. Is this one of them? Uh, maybe. Sort of. I guess. I mean, why not? I have experience though! It's coming up to Verity!'s seventh birthday (how??!) (also, you can enter our seventh anniversary giveaway!), and Hammer House of Podcast's…
So here's a lovely mosaic of pics of the best of all Doctor Who companions. Also Ian is there. It has been A Bit of A Week, but having a lovely Verity! podcast recording last night really helped lift my mood. (Also we are almost seven years old now! And doing a competition to celebrate:…
Once upon a time, there weren't Doctor Who Christmas episodes...well, there was one - The Feast of Steven - but it was lost, and fans used to get weirdly angry about its most awesome moment...anyway, back in the day we had to walk up a hill twice though sleet and gale to watch ten minutes…

And by Christmas films, I mean the films I most love and adore watching during the festive season. Some have snow - I think one might actually have Christmas - most do not. But they are movies I would find Very Weird to watch outside of December. There would be A Wrongness to it. So,…
A week of posts! So a bit of a break tonight, plus I've just finished a three hour Dungeons and Dragons session. Thus, pics. The loch on quite the winter-y morning, all ice and mist. Same loch, different day. Very, very different day. And one winter afternoon, the sun already going down. ###
Today we consider hats. Not merely any hats, but the splendid hats of Doctor Who that have helped to create worlds. So that means (magnificent as, say, the Doctor's hat in The Reign of Terror is) hats from the real world are not included, no matter how dashing it looks perched on the head of…
