Special Episode - 13th Doctor with Tammy Johnson 07/22/2017

Special Episode - 13th Doctor with Tammy Johnson Before I dive headfirst into the Series 10 reviews, I brought along my wife, Tammy, for a quick special to discuss the announcement of the 13th Doctor and her experiences at her very first convention this past weekend at Raleigh Supercon. And stay tuned after the credits for a short tribute to the lovely Deborah Watling, who sadly passed away this morning (July 21, 2017)... /episode/index/show/thequestisthequest/id/5563553

Episode 57 - Doctor Mysterio 06/03/2017

Episode 57 - Doctor Mysterio It's the return of The Quest is the Quest and the Return of Doctor Mysterio! Before delving into Series 10, let's take a look back at the 2016 Christmas special about a real superhero named Ghost....wait...Supernanny!....no....Grant. It's a fun little Christmas special that really has nothing to do with Christmas - just a bunch of brain stealing aliens without pockets planning an invasion...with blue snot. Thank you so much for listening and I'll be back very soon with The Pilot and Smile! Also, check out Who and Company: /episode/index/show/thequestisthequest/id/5414582
