Live from Master Closet Studios for the 100th time, you’re listening to the only podcast on the internet whose faces are too hideous for video podcasting: Noobs and the Whovian!
My name is Austin and I’m the Whovian, and these are my sons Corbin and Tripp and we’re the noobs!
And from the St. Louis Annex Offices, we have a special 100th episode guest: Jared!
This is the podcast that introduces a whole new generation to Doctor Who by watching an episode each week and discussing it from the perspective of a dad who’s seen it before, and two sons who haven’t.
Welcome to Episode 100 covering Classic Who Season 21 episodes 17-20: The Caves of Androzani.
This is the one where the Fifth Doctor and Peri meet semi-immortal drug-fiend humans and their pet androids right before the Fifth Doctor regenerates, and not a moment too soon.
