Episode 7 - The Kingmaker - REVIEW - with guest Mark Cockram
Mark Cockram is our guest this time and he has chosen his favourite Big Finish audio, The Kingmaker, for review.
Mark is the host of the Nerdology podcast, a tranquil repose for Doctor Who podcasters wishing to take a break from the rigours of Doctor Who fandom. By listening to Nerdology you can enjoy such variations in pop culture as I, Claudius and The West Wing, and much, much more.
The Kingmaker is number #81 in the Big Finish monthly range and was released in early 2006. Written by Nev Fountain, it features the first appearance of the 4th Doctor in a Big Finish play, voiced by the incredibly talented Jon Culshaw.
We certainly went off on some tangents in this episode, even discussing the most popular documentary on Netflix at the moment, Tiger King.
Be sure to also check out the Strangers in Space podcast, which Mark has appeared on from time to time.
And we play the full version of The Mandolorian theme by Husky By The Geek, the musician behind the theme music we use for The Sirens of Audio.
