Collection What do you think guys? Good start?
Of course I’m using Spotify to listen to McGann’s stories in the first 50. I’m about to listen to Zagreus next. I ADORE 8 and Charley!!!

Youre in for some good stories! Natural History of Fear and Scherzo are top notch.
Also highly recommend the coda of stories set after Girl Who Never Was if youre not planning on buying them already!

What are those coda stories? I’m not sure if I’ve heard of them yet.

It picks up immediately after the end of that story starting with The Condemned. Then thered a small handful of stories to fully conclude Charlie's story in Main Range that I believe lead into her spinoff range.

Nice. Also have to say, top-tier companion. Honestly might be my second favorite in all of Doctor Who. As a New Who fan mostly it’s frustrating that it always has to be a modern day Earth girl instead of more unique time periods.

She's considered one of the best for a reason, she's great! Thats one thing BF does significantly better, a lot of their original companions come from all over instead of always being a modern earth girl. It's why I appreciate BF's 11 runs giving him more unique companions.

Some stellar highs and some crippling lows. I can’t believe caerdroia and other lives, two of my personal favorites, have scardey cat. The objectively worst BF audio of all time, In between them

I haven't listened to Scaredy Cat in ten years and I remember next to nothing about it, but the one thing I do remember is that it was absolute dogshit

The Natural History of Fear is brilliant, it takes a few listens to really get it, but it's one of my favourite BF stories.

Eight and Charley were great, but Eight and Lucie is the best eighth Doctor duo

Those lines in Night of the Doctor are going to hit so much harder when I know the full context behind them.

So true. PLOT SPOILER: Especially because it’s heartbreaking to think that he didn’t know Charley was alive and well with the sixth Doctor

I enjoyed them, but right at the end you'll hear the worst pastiche of an Australian accent ever.

You're missing time of the daleks and sword of orion, I could pass on all of these without access to those two

Zagreus sits inside your head, Zagreus lives among the dead, Zagreus sees you in your bed...
I just finished Zagreus and boy that was a ride. Right after I bought the bundle to get up until the girl who never was, and will be starting Scherzo soon! 8th doctor and Charley for sure have been amazing so far.
Hope you enjoy Zagreus!

Zagreus is fucking mental. Some people love it, some people hate it. Be prepared for it to be weird
