Summary: <p>My guest today is Nathan Bottomley. Nathan is one of the 4 man team that produces the podcast Flight Through Entirety (aka FTE.) FTE is a comedy podcast that takes a look back at the BBC cult classic Dr. Who. The show has covered all of the “classic” period of the show (1963-1989) and will soon begin producing episodes regarding the modern Dr. Who series (1995-present.)</p> <div class="sw-tweet-clear"></div> <a class="swp_CTT style1" href="https://twitter.com/share?text=I+think+the+thing+that+surprised+me+the+most+about+my+podcasting+experience+was+how+much+I+would+end+up+enjoying+the+engagement+with+the+audience.&url=https://castos.com/podcast/ph005-nathan-bottomley-of-flight-through-entirety-a-doctor-who-podcast/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span class="sw-click-to-tweet"><span class="sw-ctt-text">I think the thing that surprised me the most about my podcasting experience was how much I would end up enjoying the engagement with the audience.</span><span class="sw-ctt-btn">Click To Tweet<i class="sw sw-twitter"></i></span></span></a> <p>Nathan’s audience is a really niche audience.
