Big Finish Magazine was a promotional audio magazine by and about Big Finish Productions, published for 14 issues from 2001-2009. Each issue was published as an audio CD in a cardboard slipcase, given away free with subscriptions to the main range of Doctor Who audio stories as well as other CD purchases from Big Finish. The magazine’s content consisted of interviews, behind-the-scenes information, and previews of upcoming audio productions.
