Lost from our early days of podcasting is our second episode of our Big Finish and Doctor Who reviewing podcast. It is absolutely horrendous sounding!  However with mocking commentary from Brett, it can be somewhat more enjoyable, with the help of alcohol probably.   Listen, laugh and mock along with the podcast, as bits of the second ever Alhambra Audio podcast is played.   This is truly how not to not make a podcast.   Subscribe to the show on  Stitcher http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/doctor-who-alhambra-podcast TuneIn http://tunein.com/radio/Doctor-Who-Alhambra-Podcast-p891406/ Poddirectory http://poddirectory.com/podcast/17156/doctor-who-the-alhambra-podcast Please email the show at: alhambraaudio@gmail.com Tweet the show: @AlhambraPodcast  Tweet the hosts: Liam @djNezumi or Brett @Mavic_Chen  Visit our website: AlhambraPodcast.weebly.com

In this episode of the Doctor Who: Alhambra Podcast, we travel back in time to September 2017, where Liam was able to attend the Whooverville 8 - Doctor Who convention.   This release focuses on the podcasting table interview of TV and theater actor Christopher Benjamin. In this interview Christopher Benjamin talks about both the classic and new Doctor Who stories he’s been in, his role as Henry Gordon Jago.  He talks about his time working with Trevor Baxter, who recently passed away a few months before Whooverville 8.  Christopher Benjamin does a great job to celebrate the time that he and Trevor worked together with Big Finish in the Jago and Litefoot series.  Working with Tom Baker in some of the Big Finish 4th Doctor ranges, and much more. A future Whooverville 8 interview for the Doctor Who: Alhambra Podcast will feature the 5th and 6th Doctor companion co-star: Nicola Bryant   Subscribe to the show on  Stitcher http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/doctor-who-alhambra-podcast TuneIn http://tunein.com/radio/D

In this episode of the Doctor Who: Alhambra Podcast, Brett and Liam get right back where they left off in respect to sci-fi nerdiness.  After a very brief Game of Thrones banter, we get into some Rick and Morty talk, then jump into Doctor Who news thanks to DoctorWhoNews.net. We talk about Big Finish marking down releases from 51-100, and which ones are high caliber audios worthy of paying additional costs to own, and how these releases are don't stack up to the 1-50.   (22.28 minute mark) Once we get to the reviews, we begin with the Doctor Who Main Range releases #229 The Silurian Candidate; #230 Time In Office and #231 The Behemoth.  We reference previous episodes in the classic series, Warriors of the Deep (also an audio focus myself and Liam did on the podcast, http://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/3629494), Big Finish Main release #22 Bloodtide (both referencing the Silurians); other stories that were referenced that were Main Range 170 Spaceport Fear - featuring Mel & the 6th Doctor; 202 The

In episode 61 of the podcast we record this as live, I hope you enjoy the madness that was super fun to record. In this episode of the podcast, Liam and Brett have a further in depth talk on Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor, with past Doctor's commentary on a female Timelord, including Patrick Troughton, Peter Davison & Colin Baker.  Also, kind or not, we are skeptical about the timing of a YouTuber's video, so we proceed to laugh and mock him about inconsistencies.  We get side tracked with the Cartoon Network show, Rick & Morty, before we get to Big Finish news.
