	<itunes:summary>All the podcasts featuring excited puppy-like man child, Chris Mead in one place for you to download and enjoy.

These include, but aren&#039;t limited to the following ...

The Spirit of the Stairwell: Musings on love, life and improvisation from a group of improvisers that run the experiencial gamut from mewling newborn to wizerned old timer.

The Ood Cast: A podcast dedicated to all things Doctor Who, the most consistently imaginative, courageous, scary, maddening, heartfelt show on television.

The Odd Cast: Like the bastard offspring of a pirate radio station and that thing you used to do when you were young where you would just talk into a cassette player for 20 minutes and then make your mum and dad listen to the whole thing. The Odd Cast is anarchic, inconsistent, sporadically hilarious and actually surprisingly well produced.

Plug in, download, switch on and then look around confused like you don&#039;t quite understand what&#039;s happening. Excelsior!</itunes:summary>

<p>A thorough and enthusiastic review of The God Complex this week spirals off into a debate as to which holy figure would do most damage in a hotel environment. Not an essential underlying theme to the episode but an interesting diversion and the sort of thing we feel we do well at The Ood Cast.</p>
<p>When not debating the finer points of sacred vandalism or making oblique references to ill-fated Australian pop stars we also find time to cross-pollinate Doctor Who with classic British sitcoms, listen to At Home With The Minotaurs, spin a bit of Fat Boy Slim and squeeze in an inordinate amount of mooing.</p>

They&#8217;ve taken my fiancée.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is it. The final episode of Season 3. The intricate, gossamer threads of our artful narrative finally weave together to reveal the epic truth. Join the Ood Cast as they plunge headlong through time &amp; space in a thrilling, last gasp dash to save one of their own.</p>
<p>Witness samurai sword wielding Time Lords, robotic Canadians, ruddy-cheeked podcast proteges and dastardly revenge-stricken megalomaniacs in camper vans. Thrill to the sounds of weirdly accurate baby noises, lactating Sontarans &amp; playdough manipulating Daleks. All this, a review of A Good Man Goes To War and a song about Headless Monks sung simultaneously by fourteen different podcasters scattered across the globe.</p>
<p>Featuring the vocal talents of Radio Free Skaro, The Two Minute Time Lord, Radio Rassilon, The Doctor Who Podcast, Bridging The Rift, Tim&#8217;s Take On, Adventures in Time, Space &amp; Music, The Minute Doctor Who Podcast, The Crossover Adventures, The Doctor Who Book Club, The DWO Whocast &amp; The Flashing Blade, this is one barn-storming audio joy blitz.</p>
<p>Guest starring Clayton Hickman &amp; Gareth Roberts with amazing cover art by Louis B Tosche of the Mostly Harmless Cutaway Podcast.</p>
<p>In the language of the Forest, we&#8217;d be called The Ood Cat (they don&#8217;t have a word for podcast).</p>

<p>On this week&#8217;s Ood Cast, Laura is unavoidably detained, so the boys have the run of the studio and a little organised chaos reigns.</p>
<p>They debate the rights and wrongs of the fate of the gangers (very fleetingly) then discuss clumsy moral dilemmas and whether Andy was actually right about something or if he just thinks he was&#8230;</p>
<p>On top of that (oh yes, there&#8217;s more) we have a bit of a look at a day in the life of a pile of discarded flesh, participate in a game show with a difference and have a listen to the Doctor and his double getting to know each other.</p>
<p>All that, and a song too.</p>
<p>So, do you wanna be in our ganger?</p>

<p>&#8220;It just looked like a crazy jacuzzi that somebody had sharted in&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>On this week&#8217;s Ood Cast, the Oods are spooked out, concerned and over the moon with things all at once as they review The Rebel Flesh. But even slightly freaked out, we still manage to run at you with some freshly-concocted Oody goodness, like a madman with a stick.</p>
<p>So watch out this week while we dissect what happens when you use the flesh technology to fool your friends into thinking you have a real girlfriend, unearth an advertising treat from the future (it&#8217;s acidic and terrific) and take a look into an official inspection of another mining plant&#8217;s secretarial staff.</p>
<p>All that and Chris Alpha catches us on series 6 through the medium of haiku while Laura duets with her own ganger.</p>
<p>Classic.</p>

<p>&#8220;Toast: It&#8217;s like someone took bread and really kicked it up a notch.&#8221;</p>
<p>You remember that phrase &#8216;Event TV&#8217;?  Well, having waited for 9 years to see a) Doctor Who back properly and b) 6 more years to see an episode written by Neil Gaiman, certain members of the crew of the good ship Ood were a little excited to say the least.  And what a treat we were given&#8230;</p>
<p>So now it&#8217;s our turn to share the joy &#8211; this week&#8217;s Ood Cast is the usual mix of cheery discussion (with a bit of added over excitement), music and sketches.</p>
<p>We see what the Doctor makes of an interior designer&#8217;s version of the console room, catch up on what&#8217;s cool with the Doctor, find out exactly what his bedroom is like and are yet again plagued by technical difficulties&#8230;</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t worry, we soldiered on.  After all, we&#8217;re Oods.</p>
<p>Oods are cool now.</p>
