"Unfortunately, The Official Doctor Who Podcast is too shallow to serve any particular audience. Hosts Nadia Jae and Shabaz Ali are a charming pair with good chemistry. Hosts and comedian guests try to maintain a jovial energy that is never fun enough to supersede a lack of substance. The result is an official podcast that can’t be too sharp in its critique or too shaggy in its running time but also doesn’t offer the creative team the space to celebrate their work, share behind-the-scenes anecdotes, or add meaningful context. The Official Doctor Who Podcast is, like so many comparable audio efforts, stuck."
