🎙️ radioblog: The Carrionite Curse (❤️❤️❤️❤️🖤)
I shouldn’t like this! It took a trip to YouTube to remember who the Carrionites even were, and there are so many Doctor-Who-dumb, audio-play-dumb, and just generally dumb elements to this play. Yet, it somehow came together into something that I enjoyed listening to during a stressful week.
🎙️ radioblog: Empire of the Racnoss (❤️❤️❤️❤️🖤)
The Racnoss struck me as dumb in their first appearance, and this play hasn’t done much to disabuse me of that impression. That said, this played enough with interesting Doctor Who themes of peace and conflict that it won me over anyway.
🎙️ radioblog: Night of the Vashta Nerada (❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
“Classic Doctors, new monsters” is such a fun concept for an audio play series, and hearing Tom Baker face off against the Vashta Nerada was a delight. Don’t know if I’ll enjoy the upcoming stories as much, but this was fun.
