Doing the Mindwarp with OiSpaceman

I am a returning guest on this week's episode of Oi!Spaceman: A Doctor Who Love Story. Daniel, Shana and I discuss the 1986 story "Mindwarp" (aka "The Trial of a Time Lord" episodes 5-8). Or at least we attempt to discuss that story.

In reality the story was a jumping-off point for a much broader discussion on sexism in media and in fandom and how, in many ways, very little has changed since the mid-1980's. I also share my experiences at the recent C2E2 convention.

The podcast episode is now up on their website.

Unless anything newsworthy happens in the coming days (like, say, a new companion announcement) I will be dropping the latest episode of WHO 37 by mid-April. Xtofer and I will be reviewing the Big Finish audio "1963: Fanfare for the Common Men" featuring Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton. We've kept most of the spoilers under wraps for this review, but if you'd like to follow along with the story, you can purchase the download from Big Finish here.
