    Great intro to Classic Who!
    I started watching Classic Who because of Sutekh because I don’t think you can get the full impact of the season finale without watching the Classic arc. RTD is mining from the Classics so I wanted to learn more about the Classic villains in particular. This podcast is a great way to add more detail, context and depth to the Classic episodes and the hosts have great chemistry! I love Radio Free Skaro and this was recommend by the hosts and I love it!

    Best Lazy Docents Ever
    It’s so generous of these two to invite us into sharing their affection for this odd wonderful thing that is Doctor Who.
  • Field357
    I like how quiet it is
    I like the sound effect when it comes on. Bling. And their nice conversation. It’s good to sleep to. And also listen to at regular times
  • Vintronius
    Turns out, lazy is what I needed
    I have tried a lot of Doctor Who podcasts but never found one that worked for my interests. I love podcasts that go episode by episode, and don’t spend all their time hating on the thing I love. Turns out that is a big ask. I am happy to say, I have found a home in Lazy Doctor Who. Many episodes into this podcast I can say, this is the one for me. Delightful people who love the material and are very knowledgeable means they can be lazy and still have an absolutely wonderful podcast.

    Spouses in sequence
    A wonderful way to rewatch Doctor Who with fresh eyes! As a long time fan, I’m well accustomed to viewing out of sequence ( starting with four, for example) but a rewatch in sequence brings changes in perspective and fan wisdom!

    Fun Podcast
    These two podcasters are in my top 10, so to have them on the same podcast discussing my favorite television show is such a treat.
  • TStewart
    Thought I'd like it, but
    "Laziness" doesn't explain why The Doctor is referred to as "Doctor Who". I'd expect someone who's enough of a fan to run a podcast to know that's a rookie mistake.

    Just My Favorite Couple

  • the guy leaving this comment
    Lazy = Yes
    Two people from two of my Fav. podcasts...Doing a podcast!!! And they don't whine about Doctor Who, they Talk about it and express opinions and reactions to it (YAY!). One of the best podcasts...Period.
  • LindseyCIowa
    Awesome
    Love this podcast. Helping me to catch up on old doctor who and learn behind the scenes facts.
  • JeffE_1982
    Casual & Fun
    I love Steven and Erica from other podcasts like The Memory Cheats and Verity!, so it was a foregone conclusion that I'd love them together in Lazy Doctor Who. It's great fun to hear their thoughts on these stories and I appreciate the "surprise" element (ie - the lazy part!) of never knowing when new episodes will show up in my feed. Looking forward to following along with them throughout the history of Doctor Who!
  • Drew M Meyer
    Pros at play...
    Hands down the most charming Doctor Who podcast out there. Informative and honest...
  • ijustyn
    My companions
    It can be hard to convince someone to watch the older episodes of Who with you, but now I have this 👍
  • Elvis Omar
    Brilliant fun
    Two veteran podcasters share high technical standards, a love for and deep (complementary) knowledge of Doctor Who, and pretty much everything else have created a podcast that anyone who appreciates Doctor Who will enjoy. This has very quickly become my third favorite podcast.
