It's been revealed this week that 81% of all Doctor Who related podcasters hold down full-time employment elsewhere, unrelated to time travel drama.

And our pod-catching apps are the lungs of... Well, your ears are kind of like a nose that can... No, hang on. This simile has kinda gotten away from me. Or is it a metaphor? A proper Doctor Who podcaster would know the difference. And maybe that's the point. Yeah, let's go with that.
