Shannon returns after 18 months with updates on moving forward with podcasting without Steve Lake, the plans in motion to re-present the classic 'Whostorian' archive, and his thoughts on just what went wrong with the Jodie Whittaker Era and how it is thematically unlikely to be repaired in the future. He contemplates what form 'Doctor Who' will take under the Disney+ umbrella and provides the pros and cons of this historic deal. The recent acquisition of licensing from Hallmark has resulted in potentially great Christmas bonuses for Whovians; current and upcoming ornament selections are previewed. Finally, Shannon muses upon the greatness that was the final season of 'Star Trek: Picard' and how, with the right material and the right talent, a legacy-level SF franchise 'can' be concluded admirably...will it ever happen to 'Doctor Who'?

Season two begins! Shannon once again makes a Marvel Team-Up with his good friend Stephen Winsor. They discuss the 2003 'Daredevil' film starring Ben Affleck, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Garner and Michael Clarke Duncan. How was this film the SECOND live-action appearance of the Man Without Fear, despite being the FIRST feature film of ol' Hornhead? Who could have played Daredevil instead but opted for another comic book-style hero with vision issues? Why was Bullseye so over-the-top cartoony? What was the best elements of this film, what were the worst, and what was just confusing? All answers revealed in this 2 hour geekfest! Note: during recording of this episode, we reference the 2021 Canadian Football League (CFL) Grey Cup Championship game was being played as we did so. Ultimately, the winner was the Winnipeg Blue Bombers over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 33-25. Congratulations to them.

Shannon closes out the 2021 season of the 'Winterly' with an extra-special episode to celebrate Mother's Day! The season began with his family, and ends with it...episode 1 featured his little brother Barrie, and now episode 8 features their mother, writer Geraldine Ryan-Lush, making her 'Whostorian' podcast debut for the first time in over ten years of shows! 

Often credited as the first and most fundamental influence on Shannon's own writing career, Geraldine Ryan-Lush is a prolific author, with 19 books published. On this engaging and fun appearance, she recounts her rise from a working mother of two and teacher to a quick success as children's author, review journal contributor, adept public speaker and paranormal encounters documenter. Delving into multiple genres, from young adult, fiction, poetry, and serialized novels, she demonstrated that tenacity and self-confidence in one's own talent outshined any doubters. 

Join Shannon and his mother, chatting about the strange tales of self-operating typewriters, the time a former 'Whostorian' magazine contributor stumped a computer salesman, the power of fashioning relatable narratives with universal themes, the best retro writing programs, writer's offices that were as ever-shifting as TARDIS rooms, and the behind-the-scenes stories of the popular 'Haunted Towns' series of true ghost stories that expanded to two volumes in quick success to meet demand!
