Whew! Have any of you actually come back for episode 169? After last episode's drama, it's probably a good idea to sit back, relax, and talk about something a lot less likely to draw everyone into an argument. Sounds like the perfect time to discuss the nature of the 7th Doctor and the entirety of the New Adventures line! This week's episode of the Oncoming Storm sees Josh, Ashley, and Jeff discussing Head Games, by Steve Lyons. Is it a damning condemnation of the 7th Doctor, or a validation of doing what he must? And just what is that screaming redhead doing here? All of this will be examined, as well as the news and what Jeff thinks about the audio version of All Consuming Fire! The Oncoming Storm... This Time, there's no swearing. At least, not by us. This book does feature Ace, Benny, and Roz after all.

Well folks, making a podcast can be a tricky thing. The Oncoming Storm is no different. Sometimes you have technical problems, sometimes you have disagreements, and sometimes, only in the rarest of circumstances, you roll snake eyes, and NOTHING goes right. For Josh, Ashley, Rachel, and Jeff, this is that night. Episode 168 is trying to give you the latest news, and discuss Pier Pressure by Robert Ross, Night Thoughts by Edward Young, and The Diary of River Song Vol 1. And all of those things are there, it's just... well you'll have to hear for yourself. Oh, and FYI, we think we've censored all the cursing, but we're still marking it explicit, just in case. We can only hope that when the fandom civil war starts, it's not our fault. The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got bleeps. A whole lotta bleeps.

As the snows start falling on the southeastern states, The Oncoming storm is snuggled up by the fire to get some reading done, and they're finally ready to tell you about it in episode 167! Josh, Ashley, and Jeff are here to tell you what they've been reading. Well, Josh and Jeff are, Ashley didn't finish his homework! First up is Millennial Rites by Craig Hinton, as the 6th Doctor faces his inner Valeyard amongst the return of The Great Intelligence. Then we get to something Ashley can contribute to, as we talk about the audio adaptation of All-Consuming Fire by Andy Lane, adapted by Guy Adams. The grand finale is Josh's review of Blood Heat: The Director's Cut by Jim Mortimore, which includes some last minute comments from the author himself. The Oncoming Storm... This time, all of our clothes have turned into long black cloaks for some reason. Hide the babies!

The Oncoming Storm.. NO MORE! That's right, due to the unspeakable acts The Oncoming Storm podcast has committed since we changed to the new format, we cannot call ourselves that anymore. What acts, you ask? Well... we're not gonna show or tell you, but trust us, we've been horrible, so just believe us okay? In our new role in the universe, we're going to do things you'd never think we'd ever do in episode 166... COVER SOME BIG FINISH AUDIO STORIES!!! First up is The War Doctor: Only the Monstrous by Nicolas Briggs. Then we go to Russia to talk about Moose and Squirrel Singularity by James Swallow. And finally, we put on our best Victorian fashion and head to the Crystal Palace for Other Lives by Gary Hopkins. Oh, and then Jeff gives us rapid fire reviews of every audio ever. The show formerly known as The Oncoming Storm... This time, You don't wanna get mixed up with a show like us. We're a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

The Oncoming Storm is back from the holidays! Stuffed full of plumb pudding and turkey, Josh, Ashley, Rachel, and Jeff decide that it's not too late to get away with doing a 2015 retrospective. So with that in mind, they've come with their top 5 releases of 2015, the top 5 subjects covered by the show in 2015, and the top 5 things to look forward to in 2016! But before they can get to all of that, there's all the news out from over the holidays, showing us that we're going to have a Master-ful year in 2016. And, of course, there was a little film called Star Wars that came out over the break, and Ashley... and Jeff... and Josh... can't wait to tell you all about it! The Oncoming Storm... This time, this year, we've got River Song. Just a metric ton of River Song. Just give up, accept it, and welcome our new curly headed overlord.
