Hyde Pod Who!

By John Freeman on November 28, 2008

My old friend Mat Hyde, who once wrote comics for Marvel UK but has moved into the audio podcast world thees days, has just released Hyde Pod Corner #30 – Doctor Who 45th Anniversary Special

“I’m doing my bit for the 45th anniversary of the first broadcast of Doctor Who,” he tells us.

“It has a little background, a bit about sci-fi, lots of Doctors and even why it’s not like Star Trek. Also a Quantum of Solace review. Comedy, chat and music. Beat that!”

Mat cautions his podcasts are often adult-oriented.
