The Whovian Review- The Rings of Akhaten Special Edition

About this episode

The episode revisits the 2013 reaction to 'The Rings of Akhaten' with updated thoughts and edits.

Back in 2013, Jeremy and I gave our initial reaction to this newly released story. 13 years later Michael has updated the episode to include our theme song, edit out the bits meant for the first episode, and added our current thoughts on the episode. One rating was updated, and this time we have a new special edition edit that sounds a bit more like our usual podcasts. Hope you enjoy, and here's to another 13 years! Oh and listen to the very end as we have an end credits bit.
