It was first established in February 2007, during the run up to series three of Doctor Who, by a man under the pseudonym 'Tin Dog' (the nickname for the popular character K-9 and later Mickey Smith).

This podcast has on several occasions been advertised on Doctor Who: Podshock - a popular fan-run Science Fiction Podcast, and often 'Tin Dog' also features on the show, in return, Podshock has also been mentioned on the 'Tin Dog Podcast'.
