	<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>This week, Chris Sigma and Laura present a whole hodge podge of tidbits scattered from the final two episodes, present the winner of the lyrics competition, discover just how tantalising a cup of tea can be and listen to the existential crisis of a Star Whale. It&#8217;s a bit schitzophrenic- but with a person who&#8217;s had ten other personalities being our starting point, who can blame us?</p>

<p>As well as our late discussion of whether Steven Moffat pulled off his first attempt at a finale, we have a bit of a nose around a museum gallery of unusual fossils, find out how Rory gets on at a job interview, drop in on the results of the fire safety investigation into the TARDIS explosion and see how many of us it takes to stop Andy talking his way through the entire show.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re almost at the end of our season, with the finale just around the corner &#8230;  but are we threatened by how good The Big Bang was?</p>
<p>You bet we are&#8230;</p>
<p>(This episode also features guest artwork by the extremely talented Mr Jonathan Monkhouse)</p>

<p>Laura explains why Jon Pertwee reminds her of a sheep that does taekwondo, Andy makes one too many pun-based Dad jokes, Alpha educates us on the provenance of the Silurians and Sigma delves into the psychological differences between men and women when watching scenes involving physical pain.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also some made up news, a subterranean job interview, a visit to the British Secret Service, a segment set behind the scenes at a Doctor Who production meeting and the results of our Underground song competition.</p>
<p>Did you miss us?</p>

<p>On this week&#8217;s Ood Cast, we face the consequences of leaving too much psychic pollen lying around our perfectly appointed studio and that&#8217;s as well as dropping in on the Doctor &#8220;acquiring&#8221; said narcotic substance, hearing what happened to the frozen Peruvian folk band, discussing what we made of The Shaun of the Summer Wine (sorry, Amy&#8217;s Choice) and, last but not least, a visit from a legendary 70s rock group &#8230;</p>
<p>So, make your choice &#8230;</p>
