The World Tree

I was very impressed by The World Tree. Though it takes a little while to get going, once we get a sense of what this story is, and what it is going for, I found it a very meaningful discussion of aging, coated in a suitable amount of science fiction content.

The content of an audio like this in the context of it being part of the Paul Spragg memorial feels entirely appropriate and quite a thoughtful way of remembering the writer. Nick Slawicz does an excellent job at humanizing Nora and making her the emotional core of The World Tree. His choice to have this be the Eleventh Doctor also feels like a very good one. Given the nature of this Doctor, his youth, and his own eventual fate all feel like he was the perfect choice of any existing incarnation.

Lisa Bowerman provide excellent narration, proving to be an engaging actor as always and even doing a good job giving a bit of a voice to Eleven.
