Season 1 · Episode 8

Wednesday, February 3, 2021 • Duration 01:12:03

Join us as we talk through some theories and hopes for Time War 4 - out this month! Captain von Braxx, how Definitely Fine Narvin is going to be, and how DO we have an ending better than everybody dies? This was supposed to be a minisode, but turns out we just couldn't help ourselves. Vague spoilers for all of Gallifrey, with specific spoilers for Gallifrey: Time War 1-3, and in the second half of the episode we discuss the information about TW4 that Big Finish have officially released. Heads up that we had some audio issues for the first chunk of the episode - it does resolve part of the way through, sorry! You can follow us on twitter and tumblr @podofrassilon! Thanks for listening.
