My Randomoid Selectortron ejects the fictive Vixens from the Void and loads...
The Demons of Red Lodge and Other Stories
Starring: Peter Davison as the Doctor and Sarah Sutton as Nyssa
Format: Four full-cast half-CD-length episodes
Silly? Variably between episodes, but never primarily silly.
Standalone? Yes. The four episodes even stand alone individually.
Recommended? It's not the best 5/Nyssa anthology, but it's decent light entertainment.
My reactions to this release contain spoilers for it.

#67 Mervyn Stone podcast #1-#7
Lacking proper authorization from the Temporal Powers, my Randomoid Selectortron arrives unscheduled at...
Mervyn Stone podcast #1-#7
Starring: Uncredited. I believe Nicholas Briggs, Nev Fountain, and Nicola Bryant play all or most parts. John Banks might or might not be playing Mervyn Stone.
Format: Seven podcast episodes of about six minutes each
Silly? Yes
Standalone? Yes; it's intended to promote other Mervyn Stone material for sale, not to supplement it
Recommended? Yes as amusing light entertainment about the world of 80s and early 90s British sci-fi production; no as a murder mystery.
My thoughts on this podcast contain spoilers for it, and possibly for Mervyn Stone novels.

#66 Gallifrey: Weapon of Choice
I decide not to try to come up with a clever segue into...
Gallifrey: Weapon of Choice
Starring: Lalla Ward as Romana, Louise Jameson as Leela, John Leeson as two K9s, and Miles Richardson as Braxiatel, and Andy Coleman as Torvald
Format: One full-cast CD-length episode
Silly? No
Standalone? No prior audios are essential before listening; the ending has some significant dangling plot threads but the main action of the episode is resolved.
Recommended? Yes
