The Oncoming Storm Ep 179: The Mahogany Murderers, Return of the Rocket Men, Masters of War

The staff of The Oncoming Storm podcast would sincerely like to apologize for the slapdash nature of Episode 179. Lackadaisical editor and host Josh is anxiously awaiting his vacation to begin, and really can't be bothered to mentally show up for the show, much less do any real editing and releasing the podcast on time. Luckily Jeff and Ashley are around to try and salvage things, but there's only so much they can do, especially with Rachel off for birthday shenanigans. The three stooges do their best to discuss The Mahogany Murderers from Andy Lane, except Josh has forgotten all about Jago and Litefoot's backdoor pilot. The Return of the Rocket Men by Matt Fitton fairs a little better as Steven's timey whimey adventure causes the team to rally, but will the 2 and a half hour magnum opus, Masters of War by Eddie Robson do them in? Join us and find out! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we don't even care. See you on the other side of vacation!

So let's join the excitement as the Doctor defrosts a naked guy for 200 pages and enjoy the next exciting new adventure of Creed and his family! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got telepathic killer dogs! Yeah, that part's pretty cool.

The Oncoming Storm Ep 177: The Rocket Men, Blood of the Daleks, Sympathy for the Devil

Welcome back gentle listener! We've been teasing it for the last several shows, and now the era of Host's Audio Choice begins! Well, kinda. The Oncoming Storm episode 177 does see Josh, Ashley, and Rachel here to kick things off, but because of various scheduling changes and snafus, Jeff is unable to share his choice this week. But that's okay, because we filled up two hours talking about the 3 selections we do have as it is! First up is Ashley's choice, The Rocket Men, by John Dorney. This companion chronicle sees Ian face off against the dastardly Rocket Men, and face a personal revelation that's been a long time coming! Then it's off to Red Rocket Rising, as Lucie Miller joins the TARDIS in Rachel's pick, Blood of the Daleks part 1, by Steve Lyons. And finally, Josh brings us Sympathy for the Devil, the Doctor Who Unbound story that asks, "What if the Doctor didn't become UNIT's Scientific Advisor. It also features the talent of a few gentlemen by the name of David Warner, Nicolas Courtney, and David Tennant! The Oncoming Storm... this time, we've got no news! No appetizer needed this time around!
