Such a delight to chat with Steve and Mark for the latest instalment of their splendid podcast. We talked Doctor Who, David Bowie, The Box of Delights, and all points in between. And before it gets to me, there’s the lovely Mark Ayres. Do listen to the whole thing, but my bit starts at around 57:00!

Tommy Bolin (Thomas Richard Bolin) 💖 (August 1, 1951 – December 4, 1976) was one of the most gifted guitarists of the 1970s. His remarkable ability to blend rock, jazz, blues, funk, and fusion made him a truly unique musician whose influence continues to grow long after his untimely passing.
One of my favourite tunes off one of my favourite albums. Lovely to see it randomly pop up today ❤️

I can’t believe Radio4’s Thought For The Day was from a vicar talking about Wham’s tour of China, which she ended by saying it was “a chink of light in the darkness”. I mean there’s so many other words she could have used 😯

Feels like a good omen that it’s John Wyndham’s birthday the day before the first MidWitch gig for 32 years 🤞
Colin Smith@colinsmith.bsky.social · 2mo agoJohn Wyndham, born today in 1903. Most unpopular with Them That Know when I was growing up, his reputation now seems, thankfully, to be secure. But then, when you think of the sci-fi classics he wrote - Day Of The Triffids, The Kraken Wakes, The Midwich Cuckoos etc - then it darn well should be.
DON'T READ THE COMMENTS dips into the lovely, lovely comments that emerged in the wake of Justin Richards' recent passing. One of the franchise’s most influential writers outside of television, his body of work has left an incredible legacy in many minds, young and old. thedwshow.net/2026/07/08/d...
If this is your sort of thing, I've a book out with a similar vibe (Discussion includes: how the Daleks relate to Chernobyl Reactor #4! How The Ark saves itself in the last 15 minutes! Endless delight at how thematically satisfying Invasion of the Dinosaurs is!): www.hernebooks.com/product-page...

9 days until our reunion gig. For one night only (which is probably fortunate for everyone involved).
In part 1 of this month's @thedwshow.net main show, we discuss & debate all the news about the show! Cancellation? Hiatus? What the show needs? And where did it all go wrong?! That and more, out now!

Quietly very happy with the discussions in this episode; about the fall of RTD2, and about the Gatwa era itself. Now to edit the bloody thing before next Sunday. Enjoy the new 'Gin & TARDIS' episode in the meantime...!
Dave K@davidkitchen.bsky.social · 2mo agoWell! We've recorded our June @thedwshow.net, & our news segment is easily the longest we've ever done, covering all the news about where the show is! And our main topic is our 1 year on "Cold Take" on the Gatwa era, after watching several episodes! A lot to listen to! Out Sunday!
Drok! I wake to find John Wagner has been awarded an MBE “for services to British comic books and the comic book industry”. Hurrah & hurrah again for John Wagner!

I've always felt Death to the Daleks is quite underrated, so nice to hear @diddlydumpodcast.bsky.social speaking so well of it!
