Hey, Just What IS A “CultKast”?

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

You may have noticed one or two new posts on Kasterborous of late, either on the site or via Twitter, that appear to be podcasts but aren’t podKasts. These, dear reader/listener, are CultKasts, refugees from the now-defunct Cult Britannia, which regular readers will know lives on here at Kasterborous.

While the standard podKast is a weekly, Doctor Who-centric affair with occasional guests, the CultKast is a more irregular project, featuring people who are working on something I’m interested in away from Doctor Who, or who I personally admire. To date, there have been three CultKasts:

Ian Dickerson discusses efforts to reboot The Saint.
Tim Follin & John Guilor discuss interactive video game Contradiction.
Dean Wilkinson recalls his career as a comedy writer.

We are, of course, under no illusions that the connections with Doctor Who here are tenuous at best (obviously John Guilor has provided voice work on the main show and DVDs, and co-stars in Contradiction with Paul Darrow of Blake’s 7 fame), but the point really was to give these recordings a new home and give you, dear reader/listener, the chance to engage in something a little bit different. Efforts to remake The Saint have been ongoing for years and remain fascinating; Contradiction is a superb game for iPad and hopefully soon Windows and Mac OS X; Dean Wilkinson has carved a remarkably successful career as a writer while remaining largely anonymous.

We’ll have more CultKasts for you in future, along with the weekly podKast. Enjoy them!
