Although it is sad to think about the day when Tom Baker will pass away, it seems like with Tom Baker’s large backlog of Big Finish audio dramas that the moment has been prepared for.
Yes, it is somewhat weird that I was sitting here and came upon the urge to write a joke from a setup that was written over six months ago!

I have never understood the fascination with vinyl.
More expensive, worse quality, less convenient (big, bulky, can’t fit as much on one disc).
Big Finish trailers really are just random lines, they’d be so much better with a bit of linking narration to explain. But it’s got me hyped!

The album art is great though. But yeah my vinyl phase where short and I dont miss them.

Different formats have plusses and minuses. I like vinyl for the ‘warmth’ of the sound, and for the fact that, in a digital age, you have to just let it play. It’s harder to give into the ‘instant gratification’ accesability of modern media.
A similar thing with me is that I prefer film projection rather than digital. There is an intangible like to it.
Different strokes, etc.

It’s weird how hit and miss they can be with that given all the practice they’ve had. They’ve put out some great ones that give a clear sense of the story and build excitement but at worst I feel like there’s no extrapolating what the plot is. This feels like one of the more disjointed ones.
