[original show notes] Sci-Fi Party Line #39 SJA & DW In this episode we talk about David Tennant’s guest appearance in the Sarah Jane Adventures episode ‘The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith.’ We rip into the released clip of the animated Doctor Who micro serial Dreamland. We collectively shake our heads at the Doctor Who special ‘Planet of the Dead,’ but look forward to ‘Waters of Mars.’ We express concerns and expectations of the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. Our discussion concludes with talk of Torchwood‘s fate. We briefly touch on some of the classics as well. We are honored to have Louis Trapani of Podshock, the longest running Doctor Who podcast, as our special guest on this episode. This episode contains light spoilers throughout, speculation, random time loops and recursion paradoxes. Mind your cloister bell! Playing out the show is the song ‘K9′s Lament’ by the Trock band Chameleon Circuit. Just for fun, see if you can spot the obscure Teddy Ruxpin reference.

Today Eric & special guest co-host Josh Zimon (@whomeJZ) break down the newest, latest, and greatest Doctor Who episode The Hungry Earth. Josh was an acquaintance we made at Gally 21 & we're so glad we did because it was a delight to have him appear on our show today . This is in fact Josh's first official appearance on any podcast, but somehow we don't think this will be his last here or elsewhere. WARNING: This review/discussion contains cold blooded SPOILERS! Thanks so much to Cat (@fancyfembot), co-host of the @Sci-Fi Party Line Podcast for providing this episode's intro. She's the one reponsible for making this podcast possible. Without her guidance we wouldn't know how to prep a podcast feed any more than prep cattle feed. We certainly feel her contribution adds a lil bit of Southern to our Comfort.

Disclaimer: Now here's the part where we list some of Eric's pathetic factual gaffes in this week's ep, or as we like to call them: 'Intentional' production errors or Easter Eggs: 1) Eric incorrectly refers to actor Toby Jones (The Dream Lord) as Tom Jones. 2) Eric calls her Mrs. Potter rather than Mrs. Poggit. 3) When Eric was referring to the wonderful violin piece composed by @murraygold he incorrectly pointed toward Rory's exit scene. While it too contains a wonderful piece of music, it is a piano which is heard prevalently at that point. The piece with the violin is actually played backing the beautiful kiss scene - Oh my hearts -

TARDIS Tavern #17: Dalek Restroom Cutaway
With a little help from our friends... Podcest is such a wonderful thing; That interconnection we all share as part of the Doctor Who Podcast Alliance. We were recently listening to our pals Steve & Sean's latest TARDIS Tavern podcast. Since its inception back in November '09, their program has been steadily growing, improving, & finding it's own place among the pantheon of WHO 'casts out there now. This Blue Guy thuroughly enjoyed their recent Dalek potty humor sketch & immeditately asked for permission to publish it here on the Guide to the Whoverse feed for all of you to enjoy should you partake. This is only a small excerpt however, the bulk of this episode is actually a half druken review of the Second Doctor's first story Power of the Daleks. Honestly it was, but a mere coinicdence that the 'Two WHO Drool' just happened to preselect reviewing this classic story right on the heels of the newest Dalek story Victory of the Daleks airing. Be sure to listen to the entire TARDIS Tavern Episode 17 The Victory of the Power of the Daleks which can be found here. Warning: This skit contains EXPLICIT language along with some crude humor, but honestly no more crude than that found in RTD's Aliens of London / World War Three. We'd really like to thank Steve & Sean again for allowing us to feature this clip on our feed. (Mostly) every week they hit up their locak WHO tavern & review a classic story while inbibing Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters. Quite an interesting mix of conflicting interests if you ask us. Disclaimer: Should you still have any more rants, complaints, or comments please direct them to: ATTN: Sean -> tardistavern@gmail.com or reach him via twitter: @tardistavern And for all those still wondering the answer to that ultimate question of life, the universe, and Megan's singleness all we can say is...

Contrary to common belief, Eric & Megan set to record a mid-week Victory of the Daleks Cutaway this last Thrusday April 22nd. Unfotunately a conspiring cosmos was working against them. Firstly a certain producer of this show's computer decided to go on the Fritz Tuesday. Following which he proceded to stay awake for 26 hrs striaght before recording would commence. It was not our brightest hour. What ensued was something little resembling our strandard podcast format. For 2.5 hrs the misery edured, failing attention + hallucinations leading to many and frequent resets, redos, and restarts. We had hoped that the edit bay might be able to salvage some carcass of a show from the wreckage, but alas fate & destiny weren't finshed with us yet. Apparently somebody forgot to push that little red button marked 'Record,' so all was for naught. So much 'Dalek Cutaway' prep & stress-work down the tube with the rest of the refuse. Let us assure you that we feel thuroughly refreshed & recharged now and recording of our The Time of Angels shall take place later today as originally planned. Perhaps we shall produce an extra beefy mid-week cutaway in coming days to help atone for our carelessness. Despite our mishap, fortunately cooler heads prevailed as we made use of another red button within reach, this one imprinted with the bold words:

Mostly Testicle Cutaway #1: Anywhere
Once in a while something most improbable can happen. This happens to be 1 of those whiles. This unholy creation is a collaborative production between John (@cybertesticle) & Eric (@Bullitt33). It is a satirical Doctor Who parody based on a scene in The Eleventh Hour. John is responsible for writing & performing the script, while Eric pretty much laid out all the rest. Can you believe they make these things for fun? Warning: This skit contains EXPLICIT language. This type of humor is not recommended for the very young or uptight WHO fan! John is the creator of The Cyber Testicle Podcast and long time friend of the show. We aren't exaggerating when we say his is the most unique Doctor Who podcast around. Give it a sample and you'll understand. This sketch is an example of some of the kinds of things you will find on his feed. Disclaimer: Whether you like it or not, you may never see one of these things ever again. Not unless you convince us otherwise. The idea to do it was literally born on a camping trip we went on last summer. We trekked to a nearby pond to try and catch some supper. We brought fishing wire & hooks, but had to fashion our own rods. While John was trimming & whittling his branch his hand suddenly slipped, knife in palm, and suddenly slashed the crotch of his trousers. We said, 'John, are you alright mate?' Grimace on face he spoke: 'It's mostly testicle cutaway.' To which we exclaimed...

T minus 1 day until The Beast Below. Welcome to this, the 4rd HHG2W: Mostly Harmless Cutaway. This episode was never supposed to exist. Think of it as a random bowl of petunias or miraculously improbable sperm whale that really serves no other purpose, but to simply be. Today Eric & Megan... well mostly Eric goes nuts with some crazy potential series 5 / Moffat fanboy conspiracies that have been permeating his brain. Not only that, but Eric also shares 1 important point he failed to bring up during our previous Doctor Who series 5 episode, The Eleventh Hour review. WARNING: this discussion contains SPOILERS or at the very least we assume you have already seen The Eleventh Hour. During this show we make special mention of and highly recommend the Radio Free Skaro podcast, especially their Eleventh Hour reaction episode #192 - Operation Golden Hour. Coincidentally guesting on that episode was Tacyon TV podcast's very own Neil Perryman (@neilperryman). Please check out his fantastic collaborative Doctor Who Blog: Behind the Sofa. Primarily his Eleventh Hour review: Up to Eleven... For those unaware, this is not the only podcast Eric is a part of. He got started in podcasting regularly over on the Sci-Fi Party Line podcast where Doctor Who & Torchwood et al are occasionally reviewed. You can find their most recent Doctor Who review here: [Sci-Fi Party Line #58 Doctor Who: Eleventh Hour] Disclaimer: Sorry for the extra heavy dose of bloviation. Sorry if that's just not your cup of tea. If not, that is the exact reason this episode exists all on its own, so as not to bother or encroach upon our forthcoming review of The Beast Below. Look for it sometime Sunday evening or Monday at the latest. You gotta give Megan a pat on the back for being such a team player by volunteering to be the designated captive audience for Eric's fanboy musings. She didn't so you shouldn't: Follow her example and...

We certainly feel his contribution adds a bit of gravitas to our humble program. Please follow the links and check out his awesome concentrated commentaries on the world of Doctor Who. Also thanks to Radio Free Skaro for getting many of these recent series 5 clips & trailers up on their website in swift order. We really appreciate your efforts.
Disclaimer: Yes we realize that this still isn't you're beloved Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse. Well, were you aware that series 5 of Doctor Who is imminent? We don't know about you, but we are super excited over here and we'd really like to talk about the new show, record our thoughts, and post them on our feed. We'd really love for all of you, our listeners, to hang around and give the new format a chance, but we understand if it's not your cup of tea. We are planning to do a ~15-20 minute MHC / Review / Discussion for each and every series 5 ep airing for approximately the next 14 weeks, hopefully to be released by that Monday following the UK/BBC airing. There are still remaining backlog HHG2W in addition to those we will continue to create so stay tuned, they will eventually appear on this feed. We hope all of you find our plans and endeavors worthwhile, this is going to be a very, very busy season for us to try and crank the podcasts out in a timely, current, and relevant matter. Please strap yourselves in, hold on tight, and whatever you do...

And now for something completely different... Welcome to this, the first Mostly Harmless Cutaway. Like the rest of the universe it was created with more of a whimper than a bang really. What? This wasn't what you signed up for? This isn't your beloved Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse? Firstly, DON'T PANIC. Secondly, note the title: "Mosty" - "Harmless" - "Cutaway." We thought it a very apt name as it's description is written right there on the outside of the box. No intended misdirection on our part.
If you listen, (and we're sure you will) you'll hear it explained that this is simply a slight deviation from our traditional podcast format you may be accoustumed to by now. This is our producer (if you in fact believe that we have one) breaking down that 4th wall and speaking to you directly about whatever might be on his mind pertaining to the Whoverse et al. In this MHC Eric interviews a new friend he made at the Gallifrey One convention. Megan (@meganhibner) is a cosplayer and at Gally 21 she dressed up as Sarah Jane Smith from The Hand of Fear. Also check out Megan's The Channel of Rassilon on YouTube. Remember her name, this may not be the last we hear from her... Special thanks to John Brannigan from the Cyber Testicle Podcast for our 1st guest intro. And while you're at it, why not congradulate him on his new baby via twitter? (@cybertesticle) We've said it once, we've said it a thousand times: His is the freshest of the new batch of Doctor Who podcasts out there. And by freshest we mean most putrid, but adoringly & most entertainingly so. Expect more MHC's in the near future, but not only that. Perhaps next Friday (3/26) we shall re-release our condensed Minute Waters of Mars (review) from the Sci-Fi Party Line vault followed by our Too Minute End of Time the Friday after (4/2) in preparation for Matt Smith's opening story The Eleventh Hour premeireing on the BBC. And yes, somewhere in there, or after, or yesterday, we shall release HHG2W #5 Hiatus. Yes, we also thought that a very appropriate title as well. ;^) Disclaimer: We, the makers of this fine audio program in no way take any responsibity for was has just transpired... unless you liked it. There was at least 1 faux paus committed during recording of this episode, some of you may or may not notice it. For those who do, we can conditionally promise that it is highly improbable that particular something will ever happen again. Unfortunately, due to the never ceasing recession we have been forced to cut 58% of our staff. Despite such losses we are still offering this podcast to you free of charge! Please repay us by leaving a kind comment on iTunes. Or lastly, if all else fails... DON'T PANIC

For those who don't know, yours truly attended the recent Gallifrey 21 convention in Los Angeles, CA (Feb 26-28). As you might expect, the entire experience was rather fantastic. So fantastic in fact, that days later we still haven't quite recovered. We could go on and on about all the amazing & unexpected experiences we had at the convention, but we won't. All we can say right now is that we somehow feel different, somewhat changed, when it comes to our shared love of Doctor Who. By now we had expected to post a new(er) episode of our regular Guide to the Whoverse, but suddenly we have been left reeling, thinking, "What else can we do to reflect on the convention?" Well we're still thinking about it. Never fear, more HHG2W will eventually materialze, we're just contemplating whether we should take some time out to react to this whole affair that was Gallifrey 2010, and if so, in what way. In the meantime, after examining Radio Free Skaro's glorious recording set-up up close and 1st hand at Gally, we are also in the process of waiting for our new microphone, etc. to come in to further improve our own audio production.

The Da Vinci Code was quite popular at the time this entry was originally produced. What a preposterous work of fiction that was.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse is just what it appears to be... A satirical blatant rip-off of a much more successful publication/volume/franchise, but we shan't trouble ourselves with that minute detail right now. Prepare yourself for some grand anticipointment* as this podcast isn't very good. It wasn't created out of love, more out of abandonment, and it shows. We cannot promise that it will get any better in time, but we can promise that it will be about time. The Doctor's anyway. Episode 1 was originally conceived to be a introduction / promo of sorts. It was our intention to share our humble little production(s) with other [better] and already established Doctor Who Podcasts. Back in 2006 both Podshock & WhoCast answered that call. Because this entry is very promo like we don't get very deep into the meat of the Whoverse just yet. All in good time... References:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse had it's origins way back in 2006 when I was trying to come up with a way to participate in my 1st & favorite podcast of the time Doctor Who: Podshock. I made a few initial entries before the rest of my life caught up with me. Thus began a production hiatus that lasted until 2009. I was out of the "game" so to speak because I was actually without a computer of my own for much of 2007 up until spring 2009. Thanks to Cat (@fancyfembot) I was finally brought out of retirement and "properly" introduced to the production side of making a podcast. The Sci-Fi Party Line podcast was my first opportunity to really flex & hone in my podcast audio editing/producing skills. Enter Bridging the Rift: Just last night, as I'm writing this, I was listening to Bridging the Rift #14. I was very surprised when I suddenly heard co-host Nat (@thirtysix) mention my humble Doctor Who audio project HHG2W. He reiterated an idea I had been pondering myself for a while now. Up until now, new entries of the HHG2W were randomly inserted into episodes of Podshock (@Podshock). During the podcast discussion, Nat brought up the desire to have the HHG2W made available on it's very own feed. Nice and convenient bite sized morsels one could keep readily available on their iPod. Well here we are. To date there are 6 pre-existing episodes of the HHG2W. I will present them here on this feed and add more once they are made and after each respective entry has premiered on Podshock. Unfortunately, I don't anticipate new episodes debuting very often. It takes considerable time for me to research, write, record, and produce each new installment. Plus, in addition to HHG2W, the majority of my free time is dedicated to producing the "mother" program: Sci-Fi Party Line. I also reserve the right to add other Doctor Who related audio flights-of-fancy (I produce) to this feed when I feel so inclined.
