ESW Podcast - Episode 6


The final arc of The Third Doctor is bittersweet as we say “Goodbye” to Jon Pertwee, witness performances from gone-too-soon Nicolas Courtney and Elisabeth Sladen, and control our arachnophobia as we encounter the sisters of Metebelis Three. But all is made right by one of the best multi-vehicle chase scenes ever filmed! Two-legs Mike, Mike, and Dave are once again joined by ESO co-host Bobby Nash to review Planet of the Spiders.

This Weekend - Showcon

This weekend, I will be appearing at Showcon in Murfreesboro, TN (May 19-20). I had the pleasure of meeting the fine folks who put on The Show a couple of months ago and if this weekend is only half as entertaining as their podcast, this will be a convention y'all don't want to miss! I'll have copies of Tiki Zombie on hand, along with a few special items, so be sure to visit my table and say "Howdy!" My dear friend and fellow crewmember of ESO will be there as well, and we'll have a portable version of The Geek Seat for those who dare!

ESW Podcast - Episode 5

Now in Colour! On this episode, the ESW crew reviews the first story arc of the Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee.

Join the two Mikes and two Daves for an episode that can be summed up in one word. Just one word. Plastics.
