Trust Your Doctor

Not to be confused with Religious Seniority.

It’s Categories of Life, written by  Jane Espensen and aired on August 5, 2011.

Show-notes:
0:40: Seth MacFarlane created a lot of other stuff besides Family Guy. Most of it isn’t very good.
29:18: It was in Destiny of the Daleks. Thanks @Prof_Quiteamess and @lisacartman.
31:28: Shockingly, Hillary Duff is still acting in things, they’re just not good things.
32:48: Hillary Clinton also acts in things.
37:50: I guess this is a Hillary Clinton themed episode so here’s what Wikileaks gave us on that topic.
41:54: Who Killed Kennedy?
42:56: The novel Shell Shock indicates hat Peri’s stepfather Howard sexually abused her. But according to the TARDIS wiki, this has been contradicted by other material.
47:05: More on the coffee conundrum here.
52:35: We neglected to mention that the phrase “Great Leap Forward” is also associated with an entirely different totalitarian regime.
1:04:46: According to Wikipedia, Scorpion is ” [l]oosely based on the life of its executive producer and self-proclaimed computer expert Walter O’Brien.” Lol.
1:05:50: You ever check out Fargo, eh?
1:06:11: Rolling Stone reported (in 1988 lol) that in the author’s note to Libra, Don DeLillo wrote that the book was “a work of the imagination” and that “[w]hile drawing from the historical record, [he] made no attempt to furnish factual answers to any questions raised by the assassination” of Kennedy. He said the novel was instead “a way of thinking about the assassination without being constrained by half-facts or overwhelmed by possibilities, by the tide of speculation that widens with the years.”

Honestly this title alone was confusing.

We record these podcast in the dead of night now actually. Like way late at night. Like 7 PM. I know, so late right. In the UK the sun is probably still up at that time, being all a million miles from the equator and all that, but down here thanks to the end of DST we’re solidly two hours into darkness at that point. Yeah sun goes down at 5. Well 5:30 now but you get the point. It’s Dead of Night, written by Jane Espensen and aired on July 22, 2011.

I usually prefer to keep my hairstyle the same and change up my fists, but maybe that’s just me.

This new rendition of Torchwood continues to amaze and astound. This week, we’re off to the land of the free and the home of the brave. But first, the Torchwood team (i.e. Gwen and Jack) have to deal with some snakes (noun; a treacherous or deceitful person) on a plane. It’s Rendition, written by Doris Egan and aired on July 15, 2011.

Halloween can’t come soon enough.

So the children of earth are saved and the day is mine once more. We only had to sacrifice one kid rather than the 10% that the 456 requested, but the 456 are off gallivanting somewhere else. They have technology to do almost anything but replicate this weird chemical? I dunno. It’s Children of Earth: Day Five, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on July 10, 2009.

I love slime!

Children of Earth is rapidly coming to a close. Which means we’re going to finally move on to the final season of Torchwood which means oh god we’re running out of content. What are we gonna do?! Maybe the 456 should take us instead, that way we can stop making podcasts. It’s Children of Earth: Day Four, written by John Fay and aired on July 9, 2009.

Really riding this bean trend a little late.

Are we all ready to hear the story about the beans? You know the beans that I bought the other day? Well I bought some beans, and I took them home. And then I put them in my pantry. And that’s it. That’s the whole story. It’s better than getting invaded by aliens anyway. Speaking of which, it’s Children of Earth: Day Three, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on July 8, 2009.
