Thanks so much, I am so glad that you enjoyed it, Loa! And, yay, for another fan of Leela and the Romanas! Classic Who is a lot to check out, but definitely worth it, in my opinion. Glad that you are checking it out! :)

Liked the podcast, in fact I think you gave me an idea about doing one for my Tim&ly Tales company.

I share many of your opinions (especially about Rose.) I am a Leelah fan as well, loving her in "The Horror of Fang Rock" and "The Face of Death." And I just LOVE BOTH Romanas!

I am a New Who fan - still a newbie though my delving into Classic Who would most likely put me in a junior fan level. I started watching New Who after Matt Smith & Karen Gillan were on Craig Ferguson, so I got partial to the 11th and the Ponds - River included.

Thanks so much, Dana! I am so flattered you liked it! :)

Thank you for an enjoyable introduction. You have such a nice voice presence and you made me laugh out loud at the 'We are many, not like the Borg'. Only a sci-fi geek would say something like that. I'll be looking forward to more episodes.
Oh, and I love the episode 'cover' graphic. Looks like something I'd see on an indie label. Keep it up.
