Trust Your Doctor: A Doctor Who Podcast

We flipped a coin to decide this title. This week Kiyan and Dylan record in a white featureless room. It might be a padded room, we’re not really sure anymore. There’s a gate here somewhere. A Warrior’s Gate, written by Steve Gallagher and aired in January of 1981. Doctor Who © The BBC Any otherContinue reading →

“I’m a Time Lord bro. Back off. BACK OFF.” – Sassy Rassilon This week Kiyan and Dylan do not make it to Gallifrey yet, however much this title may imply that they did. Instead they fail to even leave E-Space. It’s the second story of the E-Space trilogy this week, State of Decay. It wasContinue reading →

ADDRIIIICCCCC. (This is a reference to Rocky.) This week we’ve come Full Circle. Yes, we’re right where we started. Where was this start? Well, hell if I know. But it’s right here. Right here, where we’ve come Full Circle, thanks to Andrew Smith. The serial aired in October and November of 1980. Doctor Who ©Continue reading →

Just uh. Don’t mind me. Just a cactus. Nothing more. This week Kiyan and Dylan record a new episode, and specifically ensure that there are no cacti in the room. No guarantees about Eucalyptus though. It’s Meglos, written byJohn Flanagan and Andrew McCulloch. It aired in September and October of 1980. We dedicate this episode toContinue reading →

They say that she’s a myth around these parts. This week Kiyan and Dylan reach into the 1980s for real. By which I mean, everything takes a turn for the synth. Yes, the title theme is synth, the visuals look totally 80s, and everything is in a new decade. It’s The Leisure Hive, written by DavidContinue reading →

Wicked is a totally wizard musical. Wait a second… This week Kiyan and Dylan jump a time track and end up in a parallel universe where Shada was finished with some animation. Wait no, that’s this universe, sorry. Well listen in to Douglas Adams’ final script, which would have (presumably) aired in January through MarchContinue reading →

Running through the night… It’s the Nimon! Actual cannibal Nimon! Watch out, it’s the Space Minotaur! He’s chasing us down! Well, may as well take a quick break here and listen to Trust Your Doctor, I’m sure the minotaur will wait. I mean, Kiyan and Dylan are discussing The Horns of Nimon, written by AnthonyContinue reading →

Please fasten your seat belts and put on your radiation helmets. This week, the question at large is, does the serial make a political point? Well actually the question is, as usual, can Kiyan and Dylan summarize a serial without totally failing? Listen in and find out if Nightmare of Eden can answer both ofContinue reading →

I did a play once that ended in a long chain of people holding guns to peoples heads. This week Kiyan and Dylan secretly record in yet another undisclosed location. Luckily when they ventured out, the Lady of the realm didn’t chuck them into a pit filled with some generic creature of destruction. So insteadContinue reading →

Just gonna wipe this off. Don’t need this primordial soup. A, la cité de l’amour. Er… I mean, la cité de la mort. Only fitting that this episode features a lovely birdsong in the background, truly solidifying the love in the air. And what better way to write a serial set in the city ofContinue reading →

I’ve been told that having fun is pretty great. This is a very special episode of Trust Your Doctor. Before I get into that, can I mention how difficult titling this is? “Ft. Flight Through Entirety” is the most space saving way to credit the crossover, but it’s not entirely accurate. We only got twoContinue reading →

Does Davros count Daleks to fall asleep? This week’s episode is brought to you by the color pink. And by pink, I mean PINK, because that frock that Romana wears is straight up bright pink. It contrasts nicely with the cold grey of the Dalek casings. Yes, this week it’s Destiny of the Daleks, writtenContinue reading →

Apparently Lalla is derived from a Persian word that means “tulip”. This is it, ladies and gentleman, the end of the search for the Key to Time. And what better way to end it than with the most divisive serial since The Mutants? Is it good? Is it bad? Well. That’s for you to decide. Continue reading →

There’s been an awakening. Have you felt it? It’s in our sanity. As in, we’re losing it. We know. Two Years. Some of you have been here for all two of them. Some of you weren’t. That’s ok, we love* you all. No but actually, thank you for listening. We really do appreciate that there areContinue reading →

Is anything ever funny for the right reasons? This week Kiyan and Dylan face the roughly 4×21 minute ritual of Kroll. It’s really rather simple, you sit through the 4 episode The Power of Kroll serial, take a few notes, and then record a podcast about it. The serial was written by Robert Holmes and airedContinue reading →

Willy Wonka is a Time Lord right? This week Kiyan and Dylan got through David Fisher’s second serial for the show, an arguably much better piece of work. It’s called The Androids of Tara, and it aired in November and December of 1978. Dylan is not in the fabric business. Here’s some information on tweedContinue reading →

Judgement in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of one piece of the Key to Time. Dismissed. This week Kiyan and Dylan go hunting for the third piece of the Key to Time in The Stones of Blood. It was written by David Fisher and aired in October and November of 1978. In case ourContinue reading →

I’m not entirely certain what the title means either. This week Kiyan and Dylan become acquainted with one of the more well known Doctor Who writers. Or, to be more specific, one of the more well known Doctor Who writers, outside of the Doctor Who fan circle. Yes, it’s The Pirate Planet, written by DouglasContinue reading →

In the name of Find and Replace, Echoes of Grey, and Quinnis. Amen. Welcome to 2016, Trust Your Doctor fans! An entire new year for you to anticipate episodes! Coming up soon: our two year anniversary episode! But until then, listen in as Kiyan and Dylan explain the audio drama Quinnis, starring the First DoctorContinue reading →

Trust Your Doctor is now available only on K9 OS. Please update. This week Kiyan and Dylan begin an entirely new journey. No they didn’t start a new podcast, they’re just following the Doctor looking for the KEY TO TIME. I put that in all caps because it seemed pretty important. The quest begins withContinue reading →

Ah! What’s a lie and what isn’t? I don’t know! In this little special episode, also recorded for the planned, but eventually not needed, hiatus, we learn that Dylan can’t do math. Seriously, 40 minutes is not double 28 minutes. On another note, you can tell when this was recorded, because Kiyan mistakes Zoe forContinue reading →

Yay 100 episodes. That’s the extent of our celebration. Kiyan and Dylan break into the triple digits and finish off season 15 AND put in two character retrospectives. What an episode! Listen in to find out what they thought of The Invasion of Time, written by “David Agnew” and aired in February and March ofContinue reading →

Hey, hey man. You got a map? I can give you 5 talmars. No, they’re not fake. I swear. How far we’ve fallen. After struggling through 4 episodes of total non-content, Kiyan and Dylan meet to try and explain precisely what happened. Maybe they succeeded, maybe they didn’t. But if you want to check forContinue reading →

I woke up this morning and was like “hey, why hasn’t anyone else done this?” This week Kiyan and Dylan… Don’t really complain about taxes, but do talk about a serial that does complain about taxes. There’s a subtle difference here. The serial this week is The Sun Makers, written by Robert Holmes and airedContinue reading →

A priory is a monastery, so a house ON the priory is… interesting. This week Kiyan and Dylan explore Chris Boucher’s final serial for Doctor Who, Image of the Fendahl. It’s almost amazing, but the dialogue falls apart. Pity. It aired in October and November of 1977. Doctor Who © The BBC Any other referencesContinue reading →
