What’s up DOC?! Meet the power-hungry Doc. The commander Doc. Two rebel Docs constantly plotting technological mayhem. And the captain Doc desperately trying to stop it all going off the rails.

Once a month, Stuart, Jackie, Jade, Ken and Pat gather their collective wisdom (and questionable decision-making skills) to poke, prod, test, break, and occasionally understand the tech that’s meant to make life easier.

A gloriously relaxed episode with a masked producer who simply *will not* stay in the control room. Round table, a raid on the inbox, a singing controversy settled, and then the big one: audio description — the good, the bad, and the chase detail nobody asked for.

Gremlins in the Machine We regret to inform you that a small but determined population of gremlins has taken up residence in the podcast. Wires have been chewed, files have been mysteriously renamed, and at least one microphone has filed a formal complaint. We’re working on eviction. It’s slower going than we’d like — gremlins are notoriously bad at reading notices — so the next episode is going t...

The Intro episode where the insanity begins. Meet your tech docs: Stuart, Jackie, Jade, Ken, and Pat.
