So, after a month of waiting, the eighth episode of 'Terminus' is now finally finished and available for you! Many, many apologies, of course, but now that I'm finally past all the travel and the consequent illness (the derby tournament equivalent of con crud, methinks), I'm hoping I can start to get things back on track (I've had to juggle my schedule a bit though, so I'll be doing more anniversary episodes after the 50th!). Anyway, I'm hoping just after I post this to record the next episode about 'The Silver Nemesis', though it might be out after the 50th special at this rate (which I will ..read more

After fighting with some technical issues and going on travels around the Southeastern US, I'm finally back with the newest episode of Terminus! On this seventh episode of Terminus, join me as I chat about the serial 'The Three Doctors', unofficially the celebratory story for the 10th anniversary of 'Doctor Who'. I also chat about things like the new minisodes released with the Series 7 boxset, various trailers that have me excited, some 'Day of the Doctor' miscellany, etc. Also, some exciting news is that this is the first episode under the umbrella of the Earth Station One Network, which my ..read more

Hoorah! Yes, the newest episode is finally here! So, on this sixth episode of the Terminus podcast (released during the two days I'm actually at home and not traveling during these two weeks!), join me as I chat about some of the more *obscure* Doctor Who spin-offs (and try and not stumble over saying 'BBV' many, many times). This time around I'm focusing on 'P.R.O.B.E.', 'The Stranger', 'The Airzone Solution', and 'Downtime', but never fear, there are more episodes on spin-offs planned for the future! *crickets* Yeah, not sure this episode has much of a target audience! Anyway, I also talk ab ..read more

On this also-a-bit-late fifth episode of the Terminus podcast, join me as I chat about how I define queer for myself, the Eighth Doctor television movie, thoughts about what we currently know about the Last Great Time War (possibly soon to be Jossed by the upcoming 50th anniversary special!), and the Atlanta-based fan series 'The Forgotten Doctor'. Also I squee (yes, I said squee) about things like Peter Capaldi (likely?) keeping his Scottish accent for his role as the Doctor, Doctor Puppet, the TARDIS on Google Maps, and the Doctor as Mr. Potato Head. Oh, and I thought the last episode was su ..read more

On this super-duper-late fourth episode of the Terminus podcast, join me as I chat about the recent reveal of who will be the next Doctor (on which there's lots of geeking and cheering from me, of course!) and how one of my favorite classic Doctors is coming to a convention near me next year (and I'll hopefully get to meet him for the first time!). Of course, as promised, there's also the main 'In Defense Of' segments, where I come to the defense of several characters and other bits of fandom I think are often ridiculed unfairly. Admittedly, I sadly didn't have the nicest things to say about R ..read more

On the third episode of the Terminus podcast, join me as I chat about the Seventh Doctor. I ramble on about my feelings regarding his character and story arc, as well as thoughts on his companions, my favorite serials of his, and, of course, the Cartmel Masterplan! Plus, there's a longer than usual Happy-Fandom-Time-cum-News segment (because there's just far too much to be excited about in fandom these days)!  Also, this is a bit of an 'under the weather episode', with me wincing from fighting a back injury (from fighting aliens, of course! Okay...maybe not), as well as donning a rather h ..read more

On the second episode of the Terminus podcast, join me as I chat about the Eleventh Doctor and my feelings about his character and story arc so far. I also discuss my thoughts on his impending regeneration and there's the intro of the newest reoccurring show component -- Happy Fandom Time! -- where I discuss what I'm currently geeking about in the world of Doctor Who. Along the way, there's also bonus sound issues I had to contend with and edit as best as possible (a plethora of clipped words and distortion, oh my!), my cat Fender making loud sounds in the background from the next room (she ap ..read more

On the premiere episode of the Terminus podcast, join me -- Nicole Mazza -- as I talk a bit about how this particular podcast came into being, my own Whovian background stretching back to the mid-1980s, my favorites and not-so-favorites in the world of Doctor Who, and, finally, future plans for this podcast.

Welcome to the newest episode of my 'Festive Flashback' series for the holidays! This time I'll be chatting about the first festive special of the Steven Moffat era,  'A Christmas Carol', from way back in Christmas 2010 – complete with a grumpy old miser, a girl in a fridge, Rory and Amy dressing up for Honeymoon shenanigans, a crashing space liner, some cute flying fish, and a joyous shark-led sleigh ride!

Welcome to the newest episode of my 'Festive Flashback' series for the holidays! This time I'll be chatting about 'The End of Time' (part one only), from way back in Christmas 2009 – which includes the beginnings of the 'death march' to regeneration for the Tenth Doctor, some bizarre shenanigans with the Master, Wilf being super adorable (as always), and really just some pretty odd side characters in a pretty odd story.
