NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 192: "Human Nature" Is Up!


"He's like fire and ice and rage.  He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever.  He burns at the center of time, and he can see the turn of the universe.  And...he's wonderful."
-- Timothy Latimer, Doctor Who: "The Family of Blood"

Hello again, everyone!  My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast!  This time, we're joined by special guest companion Lee Leonard to discuss "Human Nature" and The Family of Blood", the eighth and ninth episodes from Doctor Who Series Three in 2007, featuring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones, Jessica Hynes as Joan Redfern, and Harry Lloyd as Jeremy Baines!
