Many of the shows we discussed on our podcast are coming to DVD this week…

What can possibly follow that awesome Torchwood mini-series? The Doctor of course! Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead is coming to BBC America on Sunday night July 26th. Here’s a 2 minute clip below from very early in the episode.

We are very excited to announce that we have been named as a finalist in two categories for the fourth annual Parsec Awards.

The Parsec Awards recognize excellence in speculative fiction podcasting and the winners are announced during an awards ceremony held each year at Dragon*Con.

Shows are nominated by the fans and finalists are chosen by a yearly steering committee. Those finalists are then voted on by an independent panel of judges so it doesn’t matter how long you have been podcasting or how many listeners you have. These awards are based on merit.

We are a finalist in the ‘Best Speculative Fiction Fan Podcast’ category as well as ‘Best “Infotainment” Cast’.

You can find a complete listing of all the categories and finalists here…
