Episode 79: Everyone was Screaming and Nobody was Happy

In this appropriately plus-sized Episode 79, Everyone was Screaming and Nobody was Happy, we cover all fourteen parts of The Trial of a Time Lord, and everything becomes very discursive, unclear, inconclusive, incoherent and incomprehensible, until it all sort of comes apart by the end. By which we mean that this Doctor Who story does that, not that our podcast does that. (Although our podcast also does do that.)

Listen as we discuss the history of the Doctor and his companions being done dirty by the BBC, and perk up as we all get kind of thirsty for Sabalom Glitz (and maybe the Master too a little bit).

It’s a long road but it’s worth your time (by which we mean that our podcast is that)!

Episode 78: Inscrutable Who

In one of the more relaxed installments of Get Off My World!, Episode 78: Inscrutable Who, the gang discuss some of the weirder corners of the classic series: Warrior’s Gate and Ghost Light! Plus, Pat plays the role of trivia-Torquemada as he inflicts impossible and interminable Doctor Who trivia questions on Kelvin, Joshua and Ariel (can you guess who wins?).

Join us as we take a good look at time-traveling lions, a lot of woo happening, the right sort of nothing, the John Brown of E-Space, and the greatest f*ckin question in the world, and also somewhere in there Ariel says, “I like looking at your little face” (can you guess to whom?).

Plus: Big Finish found poetry!

Episode 77: Irregular Acts

In our super-sized Episode 77: Irregular Acts, the team tries to kick the rust off during our first all-in-person recording since January 2020. Listen to us take a deep dive into UNIT family fun time, babble exuberantly and get lots of little details terribly wrong. (Who is Solomon Glitz?)

Hear us discuss the naughty interior design of The Claws of Axos, The Dæmons‘ frumpilicious Miss Hawthorne, and the Vardan douchiness of the Big Finish audio The Scream of Ghosts. Yes, we’re in a frisky mood! So much joyous togetherness! So much crosstalk!

Episode 76: Bad Reputation

Never let it be said that the GOMW crew neglect to address the burning questions of our age!

In Episode 76, Ariel and the other clowns zoom in close on the Season 2 William Hartnell serials The Web Planet and The Chase to investigate whether they deserve their Bad Reputation. Will we go deep into the Jungian implications of the Animus, the Cold War politics of the Zarbi, and the continuing relevance of a Joan Jett song from 1980? Tune in and find out! All this, and “The Lair of the Zarbi Supremo” too!

Episode 75: Anti-Buddhist Evangelist

Get Off My World is back—and it seems, not a moment too soon!

Rested — regenerated — vaxxed and boosted — with new rounds — a new co-host — relaxed swear-word protocols — and a new theme song from The Sevateem!

In Episode 75: Anti-Buddhist Evangelist, Josh, Kelvin and Pat are joined by new full-time co-host Ariel Pinkerton to discuss the Fifth Doctor stories Kinda and Snakedance, and the Big Finish audio The Cradle of the Snake. We have a lot to say about Buddhism, the Mara, carnival barkers, mass-media villainy, mental disorders, J N-T’s fashion sense, and of course, a giant pink snake!

The dance goes on! It is all the dance, everywhere and always!

Episode 74: Running Around Getting Killed and Not Getting Killed

After a long absence, Get Off My World returns with a special double-length Episode 74: Running Around Getting Killed and Not Getting Killed, wrapping up our survey of Jodie Whittaker’s second season! Join Ariel, Pat, Kelvin and Joshua as we discuss Tesla versus Edison, the English Romantics, Birdemic, the history of mental illness, the Ruth Doctor (not Doctor Ruth), and our conflicted feelings about the Master and Captain Jack. All this and Pat’s impromptu off-key performance of Yazoo’s “Only You”! We cover a lot of ground here, is what we’re saying.
