    Thank you
    But still wish Josh’s absence had at least been acknowledged.
  • DrThetaSigma
    You know
    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Josh, stop wtih the verbal crutch of "you know". Please! The podcast is great, but the constant "you know" is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

    Old Who love, New Who dislike
    I love hearing your both on the Classic serise episode just what I need to get in to watching each show. When it comes to the new series do you guy like any of these show? You are killing some of the show I love. I will still listen because I'm having a good time, but please can you find a newer episodes you like.

    An Excellent Way to Spend 20 Minutes!
    I loved Series 1 of The Memory Cheats and was so disappointed when it wrapped up - what was I going to listen to every week?! Thankfully, Series 2 came along and it's just as good. Steven and Josh clearly enjoy doing that show as I can hear the fun in their voices every week. Looking forward to the rest of Series 2 (and beyond)!

    Fun Podcast
    Being a new Whovian, my journey through classic Who has been amazing. I believe I'm at the point where I've seen more classic Who than new Who. Listening to the Memory Cheats, with no title names, is fun for the podcasters and the listener. That way this podcast is not time sensitive. I've gone through a 100 episodes in two weeks or less. Great to listen to while cleaning, grocery shopping, or working out. Steven and Josh's are impressive with their "episodic" memory without being pompous about it.

    Nice Listens
    Enjoy these brief reviews. These dudes know more about Dr Who series than 99.999 pct of mankind forgot.

    Quick, pleasant snippets of DW history
    The Memory Cheats is a great little podcast from a pair of Doctor Who podcast veterans that is full of interesting tidbits, trivia, and recollections. The episodes are usually looked at both from the perspective of their original viewings as well as the opinions that they’ve formed over time. An easily recommended podcast.

    BEST PODCAST EVER!!!
    How can i follow that statement. I love classic Who and I love this podcast. It's short and too the point by two guys that REALLY know who's who!!!.

    Not bad but...
    An entertaining podcast, but once the show is over, can't you update the past show description with the name of the episode you reviewed? I understand wanting to transfer your mystery to us, but when you've got hundreds of past podcasts with essentially no description, it gets REALLY old for listeners to go through the opening of every single show to see if its a review you want to listen to. At least consider adding the name of the show reviewed after a month or so. And lastly, please, do you HAVE to scream and laugh at the top of your lungs after you hear which show you're going to discuss? Does EVERY show really make you unable to contain yourself? It's just that after putting on your headphones and setting a comfortable volume to suddenly have someone SCREAM INTO YOUR HEAD kinda starts you off on a sour note. So please, either brace yourself to hear an episode title, scream into a pillow or just edit out your weekly scream! It's the only part of the show that I hate so much it sometimes makes me not want to even listen :-(

    The Lark in Space
    This show is far better than my frankly gross pun for the title. Steve and Josh are a wonderful combination whose memories for Doctor Who are frankly amazing. I love the Classic series and it's fun seeing how much i remember of the episodes they speak on, they tend to remember them a whole lot better and they bring a sense of wit and wonder to every episode they speak on.

    Amazingly Fun!
    Holy crap is this a fun podcast. I only listen to a handful of Dr. Who podcasts- all with different presentations/premises- but this is one of the most fun concepts. Josh and Steven randomly pick a classic Who story and give themselves about 15 minutes to remember everything they can about it. Of course, what they remember about missing serials like The Smugglers pales to what they can recall about uber popular outings such as City of Death, but all are equally fun. I enjoy being reminded about things I, myself have forgotten -just as much I relish hearing them squirm over tidbits that I thought were impossible to forget! Totally recommended for classic Doctor Who diehards as well those newer fans who may want to learn what classic serial to seek out next.

    My classic Who fix
    I love listening to Steven and Josh talk about classic who episodes. I appreciate their insights and opinions. They have given me that push to go back and rewatch many of those great old episodes. The only thing I would change is I wish they would say what Doctor is the episode and when initially it was aired. I don't know many Hartnell and Troughton stories and I sometimes can't figure that out until 5-10 minutes into the podcast. Keep it up guys.

    Very enjoyable
    I like the concept, I look forward to this podcast. Thank you.

    The Memory Cheats
    While I enjoy Josh and Steven in their other podcast endeavors, I find this podcast my favorite as their memories make their connections to Classic Doctor Who very personal - one of the things I find moves me in my favorite podcasts. Cheers gentlemen!

    Goldilocks porridge of classic Doctor Who podcasts
    Not too long, not too short, yet somehow all encompassing. If you're a fan of Doctor Who you need to give this a go. Whether you consider yourself a classic or new WHO fan, it matters not. I challenge those of you unfamiliar with the classics to listen to this podcast and not have your interests piqued. Josh and Steven are some serious Doctor Who geniuses, but what's paramount is there wealth of knowledge springs from their hearts. That is too say their mutual life long love affair with one of the most infectious shows ever produced. I'm no stranger to the classic line myself, but sometimes--actually frequently these guys make me question if I've even been paying attention during my 29 years of watching. Even if you've seen 'em all, I guarantee you're gonna be gobsmacked by the nuggets these guys pull out of their bag of fortune.

    Short and sweet
    This is a must listen for North American classic Who fans. I say North American because that is the perspective they offer, and it a blast if you grew up with PBS! It's only 15 minutes an ep, so you have no excuse. Subscribe today!

    Great Reviews
    Having a great time learning about Classic Who with these two. Quick, honest, entertaining conversations. Planning to grab quite a few stories based on these opinions. You can tell they really love the show. Keep them coming!

    Pithy, entertaining musings on random Doctor Who stories from two fellows who have probably forgotten more Who lore than you'll ever know.
