Well here it is folks, my silver anniversary edition of my podcast.  This week I take the show on the road and cover the D.W.I.N. (Doctor Who Information Network) Who Bash 2006 that took place on Nov. 18th at Rowers Pub in Toronto, Ontario Canada.   In one of my largest episodes ever I talk with 4 people at the mini convention as we discuss Dcotor Who, Science Fiction and even the movie Resident Evil : Apocalypse which was actually filmed in Toronto.  Fans of Doctor Who : Podshock will also be able to hear another first as I meet someone in person who also contributes to that podcast.  A word of thanks goes out to nice guy called Mitch who helped me navigate the subway system of Toronto.  So sit back, pull up your TARDIS, jelly babies and long flowing scarf to enjoy the very first On the Road edition of my podcast.  As always your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
