## Resource

This month, we’re sinking our teeth into State of Decay, the gothic Fourth Doctor adventure from 1980 that drops the TARDIS crew into a crumbling medieval world with vampires, ancient Time Lord history, and a castle that looks like it’s auditioning for a Hammer film. Before that, we kick things off with the usual mix of news and short topics. Then, after the State of Decay chat, we open the mailbag for a ton of feedback from our listeners on a number of topics. Enjoy, dear listener. Contact us: X / Twitter: @theDWshowBluesky: @thedwshow.netFacebook: facebook.com/theDWshowEmail: hello@theDWshow.net
