Can’t believe I didn’t know this book existed until I spotted it on Vinted. One of my favourite movies!

It's time for another trip to The Library of Impossible Things.

This time I'm joined by the marvellous @melvinpena.bsky.social for a chat about finding Doctor Who as an adult, how it's long history inspired him and what's the one podcast he's most proud of.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
