The Real Whovians Cast

The Real Whovians Cast is a Doctor Who podcast hosted by Matrixlord212. The name derives from the Whovians Cast, after Matrixlord was kicked off their show and decided to creatively title his own podcast.

Episodes typically feature no editing, poor audio and camera quality and have an average runtime of an hour.

## History

During the glory days of 2013-2015, the podcast would regularly have more than a dozen members. Over time, however, these would gradually leave the show and cease contact with Matrixlord. Reasons included but are not limited to:

* **Being banned for coarse language**. This rule has been relaxed significantly over time, to the point where Matrixlord and guests commonly drop f bombs, but was tightly controlled during the early days. These old outbursts of coarse language were some of the few times Matrixlord utilized edit mode.
* **Being outed as a troll**. In some cases this was justified, as the members were in fact trolls. However there have been several occasions in which an overzealous and paranoid Matrixlord has banned members under the auspices of trolling, only to find out later of their innocence (and never deliver an apology too).
* **Becoming frustrated with Matrixlord's demanding nature and varied sleep schedule**. Matrixlord seemingly has no fixed work schedule, and has reportedly pestered individuals at ungodly hours to podcast with him. Unsurprisingly, they eventually left for greener pastures.
* **Wishing to leave a toxic environment**. In a few cases, some of the more unruly guests have been insensitive towards issues and topics which have greatly offended fellow guests. The most notorious example involves a guest joking about rape in a cast with a rape victim. Matrixlord made no effort to restrain these guests.
* **Pretending to leave the show in order to return under an alias**. Truly the most absurd case must be the time a guest pretended to leave the Real Whovians Cast, in order to come back a week later under a different name. This was done as fellow podcaster Mike D had been pestering them with crude, sexual remarks. In Matrixlord's mind, this made far more sense than actually confronting the individual who was harassing his friends.

## 2020 Onwards

In recent years, the Real Whovians Cast has gone from being a near-daily show to airing every few months. This is consistent with Matrixlord's video output in general, as he has almost entirely ceased podcasting in favour of Food Lessons and Trophy Hunting.

When pressed about why he rarely podcasts any more, he often claims that it is because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is quite an interesting thing to say, given that the pandemic has led to an unprecedented rise in podcasting as more people are stuck at home.

Perhaps a more likely reason is that Matrixlord has alienated almost all of his guests for the reasons listed above. Current episodes rarely have anyone besides Matrixlord, Chris and Scott. Additionally, Matrixlord has earned himself a reputation for being extremely volatile. While several years ago, hostilities only existed with the Whovians and Doctor Freedom, he has since managed to antagonize everyone from Tharries, to Gallifrey Base, to the Playstation community, to the TARDIS Zone. Like a lot of YouTubers, he has also become heavily invested in the Culture War, and his dislike of Chibnall's 'wokeness' may strike viewers as tired, uncritical and reactionary.

The one repeated fixture of his shows in recent years is an individual known as The Memery Factory, who frequently goads Matrixlord during his shows. However, The Memery appears to be the sole individual who actually has any vested interest in the continuation of the Real Whovians Cast. The Memery has suggested the removal of Scott, due to his overall lacklusture personality, as well as trying to make Matrixlord have more of a sense of humour. The result is the repeated bannings of the Memery, due to his very flippant style.
