February 2022 saw the release of Doctor Who: Short Trips Volume 11. - https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-short-trips-volume-11-2362

This time we speak with Aussie writer Paul F. Verhoeven, who has contributed the story "Fear of Flying" to the set. 

We find out some of Paul's history and talk about his long-term fandom, especially of Big Finish, and how he got the writing gig in the first place. 

Our strong suspicion is that this won't be the last we hear from Paul.

95. The Chimes of Midnight 20th Anniversary Special

February 2022 sees the 20th anniversary of the release of one of the most popular and loved audio dramas to ever come out of Big Finish Productions, The Chimes of Midnight by Robert Shearman. 

To celebrate, we are joined by guest Todd Beilby from Australian Doctor Who podcast Flight Through Entirety to discuss and reminisce about the story and what it was like to be involved in fandom through the 90's and during the period that the 8th Doctor and Charley adventures were being released as brand new Doctor Who seasons. 

We also feature the very first Sirens of Audio quiz with Philip and Todd going head to head to claim the inaugural title. Who will claim victory? 

Then we feature an interview with three members of the guest cast for The Chimes of Midnight, Lennox Greaves, Sue Wallace and Robert Curbishley. What memories will they have from the recording of this classic episode? 

Finally, we discuss the new release Doctor Who: Charlotte Pollard, The Further Adventuress and compare this special anniversary release to the classic run. 

Get out of the scullery, grab some plum pudding and join us in celebrating this incredible story and unforgettable TARDIS team.
