The Big Finish Podcast is the official podcast of Big Finish Productions. Though a marketing tool which naturally contains clips of upcoming releases, it also frequently contains a good deal of documentary material and interviews with key performers and behind-the-scenes staff.
Its principal host is Big Finish showrunner Nicholas Briggs. As of 2011, it often includes David Richardson and Paul Spragg. Guests on the programme have included Rob Shearman, Tom Baker, Sophie Aldred, India Fisher, Colin Baker, Louise Jameson and many others.
The show began with episode 1 on 5 February 2008, but it abandoned a numbering scheme later that same year. Initially a highly polished, meticulously edited affair, it has since become a more informal, conversationally-oriented program, in which four episodes are cut at a single lunch break. Since 2010, this production pattern has allowed the podcast to appear more or less weekly.
The programme also runs regular contests for its listeners in which prizes come from Big Finish's output.

This page as it existed in early November 2012 was read out in its entirety by Briggs on the second November 2012 edition, as a more-or-less serious introduction to the show. However, Briggs took that earlier version of the page to task for misspelling Paul Spragg, "Paul Sprague".
