“Eat a spider & then sit through Vengence of Varos.” At the Ood Cast, you won’t be flabbergasted to hear that we hate to see lovely old British institutions taking a hammering from people who really couldn’t do any better themselves. That’s right, we’re talking about the BBC! Haterz back off! Sure, it’s not perfect [...]

“What the heckington?” Fingers on nodules, everyone – it’s the Ood Cast’s semi-regular quiz show format, this time hosted by the redoubtable Laura Sigma. But what has Loz got in store for her co-hosts? Fiendish musical offerings? Insane leaps of pure fiction that bear little to no resemblance to rational thought? A bit where language [...]

“I did like the cyborg – his face looked like pork scratchings stapled to a ball bearing…” When I was a child, my favourite story was about a podcast that went on forever. A podcast packed with tales of the Old West, talking hammers and a double macchiato and cactus cake meal deal. A podcast [...]

‘Ow, my plums.’ Riddell pushed his way through the undergrowth, the thick, verdant leaves of the jungle tugging at his shirt sleeves and the exposed skin beneath. An array of flying insects buzzed ceaselessly around him, drawn by the salty tang of the sweat pooling in the furrows of his forehead and the shifting plain [...]

“I think that sounds a bit like an ill cockerel…” This week, flogging a dead cybermat, the Ood Cast return to the concept of “Sexy Daleks”. There’s also an earnest debate, peculiar mouth noises, a wet shave and some filing cabinets. Not to mention a new companion, an exciting twist and the Special Weapons Dalek. [...]

“Run a bath, lie back, relax and prepare to have your animal instincts awoken.” We don’t know about you, but our eyeballs are glowing white-hot in anticipation of the start of the next series. It’s a bit like ’42′. We are running out of cucumber slices. To try and whet our appetites, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF [...]

“And the winner is…” The Oscars. The Golden Globes. The BAFTAs. Rear of the Year. These are some award ceremonies we have heard of and, in some cases, been nominated for (Andy came fourteenth in the 1987 Rear of the Year – we’re very proud). A little late to capitalise on the awards season, perhaps, [...]
