In the second and concluding visit to the podcast named for the renowned magazine he co-founded, Stephen Nolan dives right in with thoughts on the New Series. When last we left the pair, Stephen and Shannon in 2005 fretted over the future of 'Doctor Who' with the abrupt departure of Christopher Eccleston. In an engaging and freewheeling chat in 2020, the duo look back at the developments of the last 15 years; what worked, what didn't, what stories and actors stand out, and most importantly, which actors made the best people to meet! Convention devotee Stephen relates stories of Paul McGann needing a hug, introducing John Barrowman to Newfoundland Screech liquor, former pop star Billie Piper's surprising warmth to fans, and the pros and cons of introducing overt socially relevant themes into the Jodie Whittaker era. 

Note: due to prevailing weather conditions impacting the editing process, this episode does not have an intro by Shannon. It simply begins seconds after the conclusion of Part 1.  Basically, when a podcast has 'winterly' in the title 'and' is produced in Canada during winter, folks, you have to play with the deck Mother Nature deals!
