The Dirty WHOers Doctor Who Podcast
Irreverent, but knowledgeable, trans-Atlantic nit-picking about Doctor Who. Bickering, bad language, and geek-out Whovian fandom. What's not to love? Warning: Spoilers and adult themes [18].
Episodes
Terry waves her Leela flag with pride as the usual crew heads back to 1977, with ratings at both ends of the spectrum and more than a gothic touch.
Ms. Tabatha, Mr. Sputnik, Mrs. Lightfeet, and The Lord President, with much talk about the H.A.D.S., the IQ of Gonds, and a meandering critique of the 1968 Second Doctor/Zoe/Jamie outing, Paddy and The Krontons.
Death by rock and roll. Sen, Lightfoot, Tabby, and a throat-sore Sputters, make the best of the Colin Baker "classic," Revelation of the Daleks.
The usual debauchery in the quest for The Key to Time, a believable retcon rabbit hole, plus an open-ended question for our listeners.
Casting a critical and somewhat squiffy eye over 'Stones of Blood,' part three of our ongoing and foolhardy commitment to finding The Key to Time.
60th Anniversary today, but we don't have a podcast ready, so we thought we'd share this in its full 6 minutes and 20 seconds of glory. Play it loud, and play it proud. Big up to Ron Grainer and Delia Derbyshire. x
Sen, Terry, Miss Tabby, and Sputters serve up a few jaded assumptions and world-weary criticisms for 'The Pirate Planet' [1978], as part of their misguided efforts to review all of The Key to Time.
Starting our ongoing mission to cover all of The Key to Time saga. Making the best of 'The Ribos Operation' [1978], with the usual irreverence from the usual squad.
Celebrating our 100th episode with our review of a Fushia favorite, 'Brain of Morbius' [1976]. Thank you, to everyone out there in podcast land, for not caring that we don't care and for listening to this bobbo.
Trawling through The Sea Devils [1972]. Is it the fan classic we thought it was, or is it just another wet kipper? Let's find out.
Bonjour frère Docteur Qui fanso. This time, we're chatting about 'City of Death' [1979]. Big Tom and Lala, skipping around the streets of Paris on a weekend jolly. Podcasting is cheaper than therapy.
This time we’re going back to the 17th Century for 'The Visitation' [1982] – a period tale of plague, goings-on in the country, highwaymen, yokels with pitchforks, and the Great Fire of London. What's not to love?
Welcome, Citizens of the Planet Earth, to our slightly boozy review of 'Frontier in Space' [1973]. Is it space opera or space pantomime? Is it epic, or just too damn long? Come get some.
The usual tribe of regulars. Much conversation about 'Face of Evil' [1977]. Right in the middle of the golden years, Big Tom and the first trip out for Terry’s favorite (Louise Jameson as Leela).
Two yanks. Two limeys. Musing on 'Planet of Giants' [1964]. Another of our COVID lockdown episodes, and we’re still home educating, home working, and home improving, thanks to the power of wine.
Bursting blood vessels about Davison's 'Arc of Infinity' [1983], with some primo lore and retconning from Sen. If you need an introduction to 'typical Dirty WHOers,' this is the one.
Greetings. Children of the night. Grab yourselves a glass of wine - "Wine? I do not drink... wine." Terrance, Sputnik, The Kitty, and Lord Pez, cheerfully quibbling about 'State of Decay' [1980].
And lockdown continues... Getting hot under the collar about 'Delta and the Bannermen' [1987]. Contains the f-word, the c-word, spoilers, and nuts.
Grab y'self a cocoa; it's time for our review of Harnell's 1964 story, 'The Aztecs.' The usual mixed opinions. Sputters, Lightfoot, Tabs, and Sen in a remarkably sober outing.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
