Description

The novelization of Snakedance is published the month after the novelization of Kinda, so it fell to Terrance Dicks to adapt both Doctor Who Mara stories from the small screen to the printed page. Terrance doesn't have all that much to add to Christopher Bailey's complex themes and explorations of the dark sides of human nature... but we have plenty to add to the discussion.

Joining me this week is Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker). Jim also contributed our show logo, and this week's celebrity voice impression sketch. Along the way, we'll talk about the great Hollywood movies, EuroVision and Top of the Pops, Nellie Bly, and... well, many other topics.

Superman: The Movie can be purchased or streamed on Amazon, while My Dinner With Andre can be watched free on YouTube.

You can hear the voices of H.G. Wells and Walt Whitman on YouTube, and also watch the entirety of the January 1973 Foreman v. Frazier heavyweight title fight.

Lastly, for more on Nellie Bly, check out the Bowery Boys Podcast, as I always do for all things NYC.
