The Oncoming Storm Ep 131: NA #31 - Burning Wheel of Fire

Excuse us. Have you heard the good word of St. Anthony? Oh yes, it's quite nice. Plenty of maiming and kitten killing to be had as we bring fiery death to the infidels. Would you care for a brochure? Well, if not, perhaps you'd rather listen to The Oncoming Storm episode 131, where Chaptermen Josh, Ashley, and Rachel will take you through the basics using the holy scripture; St. Anthony's Fire by Mark Gatiss. Sure, there's a lot of lizard people and Time Lords in there too, but you'll be entranced by all of the St. Anthony parts the most. We'll just put you on the mailing list. The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've found religion. Fiery hot death religion.

This week, they come to the end of the first season of the Divergent Universe, with The Twilight Kingdom by Will Shindler. It's a ride of ups and downs, this Divergent Universe thing. Will this season finale give them the answers and direction they are craving from this new universe, or will it be just another random adventure that could have taken place anywhere? Eh, well, at least it's got a giant cave system monster.  In addition, there's listener feedback on the Doctor's love life! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got caves. Lots and lots of caves. It's like it's 1983 in here.

Alright, so The Oncoming Storm is back on schedule. For now. And that means as your second episode of this week, you get more Josh, Ashley, and Rachel action as they talk about Strange England, by Simon Messingham. It's a story of the Doctor, Ace, and Benny visiting a quiet Victorian manor house, and the expected hijinks that ensue.  You'll laugh hysterically as people are eaten by trees. You'll coo over the young girl transmogrified into a horrific spider monster. And don't even get us started on the adorable throat crawling winged insects. You'll enjoy it all, or be violently assimilated back into the program! The Oncoming Storm... This time, what we don't have, is a Ashley Williams. He and that chainsaw hand would have really come in handy in this one.
