  • Something Who 101
    2024/12/22

    You may have noticed that our 100th episode came out earlier this year. This is a series of clips from the first 5 years of our podcast to capture the spirit of what we do. If you haven't heard us before, this will give you a flavour. And if you have, here's a reminder.

    Thanks to all the many contributors and guests over those 5 years. It's been a lot of fun (and a hell of a lot of editing).

    We hope you enjoy these clips and, if you do, please peruse our back catalogue for the full versions of all of these items and perhaps you'd like to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or similar platform.

    The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

    The Something Who logo, which features prominently on all our cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who you can find by following this link: https://beagarridoart.weebly.com/, where you can buy prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who.

    We have free ranging chat based on the loose theme of Jonn's latest book, A History of The World in 47 Borders, discussing how Jonn became a Doctor Who fan, how Doctor Who deals with the topic of borders and how, like any listener to this podcast, at all times at least 30% of Jonn's brain is dedicated to some aspect of Doctor Who.
