The Power of 3 is the podcast home of the story of the action figures, and now, we're VERY excited by a new book.
It's been revealed that Go Figure! is on the way, being published by Roundel Books, and is billed as: "The ultimate collector’s guide to Character Options’s 5.5” Doctor Who action figures from 2005-2024!"
Dave and Kenny are so excited, and the book's designer Will Brooks joins us to tease the project.

Hasbro Pulse Star Wars Livestream Recap and The Exciting What Is Next For Star Wars Collections!

Every episode we drink craft beer, make fun of each other and recap the week's geeky news, trailers, movies, and TV shows.  With special guests and a different main topic every week, our podcast is always lively, but not for the easily offended!

Wrestling and pop culture need to be discussed so here we are talking about men in tights, music, animations and mental anguish.

Pastrami Nation is all about the meat of pop culture: comic books, movies, video games, anime, manga, collectibles, art, books, cosplay and more! Not only are we online at www.pastramination.com and all over social media, but we also do a podcast that covers everything you love about pop culture. 

A podcast discussing Doctor Who-related items, more often than not in threes, whether stories, guests, or anything else. 

Featuring a regular team of hosts, including Kenny Smith, and David Steel (not the former Liberal Party MP, MSP and leader). 

Our other regular conspirators are Dr John Bollan, Stephen Day and Matt Michael, with irregular appearances from the podcast's founding father, Tom Harris (the former Labour MP). 

We also welcome a host of great Doctor Who guests, using "Kenny's bottomless address book" (c) David Steel.

Born from hours and hours of Star Wars discussion waiting in line to watch the latest and greatest movies... Line talk, is whenever fans get together and geek out! We bring you the Sarlacc Digest podcast, Digesting Star Wars topics over 1000 years! Join the conversation!
