iTunes is not compatible for Windows 98 and neither are most other sound file managers these days. Any recommendations on being able to hear this podcast?

Hi Guys
I just finished listening to your podcast downunder here in New Zealand. Great show! I think though you need to do something about the recording quality - there were a lot of plosive pops as if the presenters were too close to the microphone, or perhaps a wind shield might help? Anyway, the new series is going strong down here - Thursday nights at 7:30pm (although not on one of our main three channels). So there's another episode tonight... I was a bit ambivalent about the new show to start with - my non-Who friends dismiss it as cheesy of course, having not been through the earlier series, but I have to say it's definitely in keeping with the spirit of the earlier series - funny, a little childish in parts, but with a lot of thought-provoking material. Billie Piper isn't popular with my friends, but the whole show is growing on me. Initially I thought the new Doctor was just too invincible - he never took anything seriously, and seemed to nonchalantly escape from peril, but now that we're seeing his backstory regarding the Daleks and the other Time Lords (we just saw the Dalek show last week) I'm really beginning to enjoy it. The Dalek show was really well done, as it could easily have gone the wrong way, and I think fans of previous Dalek implementations will be very happy. One of the comments in your podcast was about the return of K-9. I just watched the DVD of The Leisure Hive, and listened to the commentary - John Nathan-Turner killed off K-9 because he was a nightmare to operate, cost a bomb, and was an easy way for the Doctor to get out of scrapes, so who knows if he'll be back? Anyway, great show, looking forward to the next one Lucas

Your discussion on the reasons for Doctor Who not being shown on Sci-Fi were
interesting, but omitted one major one, and that is that Sci-Fi likes to "own" the programs it broadcasts, or rather showcases. It looks like they want to control the rights to maximize their profit. If they have to pay what they may feel is too much for the series, then they will pass. Then again, it would probably be a mistake for the Beeb to relinquish that sort of control. Taras
