The Who Noobs want to wish all fans a happy 48th anniversary today!

Unfortunately, it's been a slow year for our podcast, excuses, excuses, excuses, blah, blah, blah. The project is still in our hearts and hopefully we can get some new episodes up for you guys in the near future. Many many thanks for your patience with us!

These aren't the Daleks you're looking for.

Small Update

whonoobs@gmail.com (Kevin Johnston) — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 03:02:00 +0000

Hi everyone! I'd just like to respond to the feedback we've been receiving lately, basically people clamouring for a well-deserved update! This is awesome... it lets us know that people out there are still interested in what Doug and I have created so far. I can't wait to get back to the trusty Doctor and his gang. To quote a poster: the Keys of Marinus await!

I owe everyone a huge apology for the delay this time. Doug held his end of the bargain ages ago with editing our last episode so we could upload it as a nice Christmas present to you, and I have failed to be available for recording ever since. But--I proclaim that I have never lost sight of the show and now it's high time to make amends! There will be no false promises on specifics, but I do assure you, Marco Polo will come to a close VERY SOON! :-)

Thank you all for your continued patience and support.

Notice of Slight Delay!

whonoobs@gmail.com (Kevin Johnston) — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:51:00 +0000

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd jump in to tell you that Episode 16 will be delayed due solely to my schedule of shifted priorities this week. Apologies to the fans, and to Doug, for keeping everyone waiting!

We still want to get back on track with regular Twhosday updates sometime in the near future, but please bear with us the next couple months in the meantime.

Thanks!
