beccaelizabethI have been listening to the Big Finish parts of the big multimedia Doctor Who thingy from back in 2020.
... the chatty bits afterwards are all people saying how weird it is recording at home in their little improvised studios and I may have wound myself up a bit about that era. It's so weird everyone being upbeat about the technology and cheerful about needing to call people who could work from home and then just talking about the acting of it all.

are the ones I listened to. they did a skip between enemy of my enemy and mutually assured destruction which the chatty bits insisted works quite well because one ends with setting out to work together and the next begins with everything on fire and you can in fact accurately guess all the context you need from there.
I'm going to listen to this one next https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-time-lord-victorious-genetics-of-the-daleks-2354 but I am not doing great at finding all the parts and listening in order so I think that was meant to be listened already.
I like the ambition of a big interlinked story but I mislike the experience of not knowing what is going on so you see the problem. I liked the parts of the story but I do not quite get how to get all the parts. The Big Finish bits work well together and I feel I understand the shape of the set up but. Well. Puzzlement ensues as soon as I zoom out a bit. Big picture is... not.
Which is fine, it's like reading comics crossovers when they never arrive in order and the shop doesn't get all the parts.
... which was never my favourite thing either.
So! I have no complaints about the stories I have got, they were fun to quite good, but the stories I don't got are... trickier.
Enjoyed these, liked hearing the Torchwood audio actors be in different parts, but on the whole prefer to collect All The Things.
(also the power tools in the hall thing was still ongoing today but I listened to the audios mostly successfully anyway, so that was progress. though I look forwards to them being done.)
