Take off the parking brake, Companions! We are in for a wild ride this episode as we discuss, in detail, the Series Five finale of Doctor Who. If you haven’t seen it yet, hop back in the TARDIS before listening. Spoilers, Sweetie!
Christina and Brad joined Adam at his place, with friends Justin and Andrew. Where did we laugh? Why did we scream? Who made us cry? We follow all the bread crumbs from throughout the season and revel in where it lead us. We discuss our favorite moments and do our best to find things we didn’t like. Having the complete package of Matt Smith’s first season, we discuss if and how he’s grown on us. Let us know what you think! What are your hopes for next season? Is Steven Moffat your master now, too? Listen for our special cameo guest, and stay tuned for some last minute ideas!
Welcome back, geeks and gals!
Glenn has been been playing Red Dead Redemption and revisiting more seasons of Charmed. Adam has been sweating through some yard work, while Glenn contemplates the pluses to paving over the grass. Adam is also suffering from artist block whilst working on a health-related piece. Christina hasn’t been up to much other than surviving her diet. Brad has been enjoying his new tech gear and watching TV with Christina.
This is Geek Cuisine to Major Tom! Adam has brought us mint chocolate chip Astronaut Ice Cream!
The rEVOlution has come to PodCulture. Brad, Christina and Adam review their shiny brand new HTC Evo 4G phones. The trio share their adventures of laying hands on their phones from Best Buy and Radio Shack respectively. They discuss everything from screen size to sound quality. Brad compares the specs to the iPhone 4G and Adam can’t help but see the difference from his iPod Touch. Glenn had had the HTC HD2 for a little while now, and the boys compare notes including operating systems. Christina isn’t as wildly impressed as she had hoped to be…yet…and the gang lists the few and far between drawbacks they have found so far. While Glenn has T-Mobile and Adam has been a Sprint member for years, Christina and Brad have switched from over a decade of AT&T service.

Scoot over and make some room on the couch, listeners! Welcome back to PodCulture!
Adam opens this collection of tv goodness and he’s been watching Legend of The Seeker, as Christina shares one of her favorite anecdotes from the books. He has finished with Chuck and Castle and there are so many questions on either finale that they can hardly wait for the fall. Glenn has finished the third season of Charmed and he is patiently biding his time over the summer. He shares Doctor Who: Curse of the Fatal Death with the remaining three geeks, and everyone is thrilled. Christina is over the moon with the special, given all her favorite British comedy actors. Carly has convinced him to watch Blackadder on Netflix, and Christina adds her psychic moment for the day. Adam shares the loveliness of Life on blu-ray. Christina is still in love with Glee and despite his being unmoved by the episode he watched, keeps trying to get Brad to watch it. The pair have watched and really enjoyed Human Target, and are relieved to know there will be a second season. Christina is shocked to know that Rick Springfield was in the original. They’re watching the new K-9 series, but aren’t especially impressed. They’ve broken bread with Happy Town and are pleased so far.
They pour themselves a glass of milk for this week’s Geek Cuisine and twist the tops off Oreo Blizzard flavored Oreos. Brad shares that he is buying his favorite Jolly Ranchers in bulk from Amazon.
Before we close, Glenn geeks and tells about his new HD video camera, a Kodak Play Sport and Adam admits the unfortunate event in Red Dead Redemption.

PodCulture has been lucky enough to be nominated for a Parsec Award! So as a part of that we needed to submit some clips from the show. We also thought that you guys might be interested in hearing that, so here ya go! Wish us luck gang!
Peace,
Brad, Glenn, Christina, and Adam
The gang’s all here this week! Adam opens this week with stories (at least those he’s allowed to tell) of bachelor parties and weddings. He is all Chariots of Fire and is listening to Globus‘ cd Epicon while he runs. Glenn would rather fly than run as he puts in all kinds of extra hours, which is distracting him from the fact that his shows are completed for the season (or for good). Christina regales the story of her two-hearted baby in Sims 3, and shares her low carb diet in solidarity with her mom. Brad already misses his coworker and questions the point of meetings that don’t apply to him. Christina is listening to The Sword of Truth audiobooks and longs for another season of Legend of The Seeker.
Glenn pulls Candy Corn flavored Dots out of magic bag of Geek Cuisine! I don’t think a one of them could give them a thumbs up! Christina shares her cool whip and jello mix concoction. Feeling a bit guilty that Adam missed that Geek Cuisine, so he brought more Muddy Bears to share!
Christina opens some game talk with her love of Sims 3, telling the story of her little character being mauled by a bear in the cemetery. She also downloaded Angry Birds for her iPhone. Given the great selection of racing games out recently, Brad settled on ModNation Racers. With the customization of Little Big Planet and the wicked
power ups of Mario Kart, hilarity has definitely ensued. Glenn is playing Battlefield Bad Company 2, but has put it on hold until the new map packs come out. He still loves Modern Warfare 2 with the new Resurgence pack. He, Adam and Glenn have played the Halo Reach beta. Christina puts it out there to have a Fable-esque game for The Legend of The Seeker. The guys discuss differences and issues with MMO games. Adam and Glenn give a glowing geek review of Red Dead Redemption. They discuss the game play, the characters, the art and the action.
