Eighth Doctor audios question

Will "Zagreus" make sense if I listen to it without having heard previous Eighth Doctor audios? (I'm planning my listening for the upcoming long drive.)

And if I should listen to other Eighth Doctor audios first, which ones? "All of them" is not an option.

You might want to start with NeverLand, the story immediately before Zagreus, it has set up plot. Other than that and a bit of background information about Charley Pollard, I think you should be fine. (You haven't listened to any Eight audios? I think you will like them.)

Agreed with the above comment that you should at least listen to Neverland -- I think of it as one continuous story with Zagreus. Otherwise, if you want to include a little more background, I'd recommend Storm Warning, Charley Pollard's first story, and Chimes at Midnight, which deals with the dilemma that will really come to a head in Neverland and Zagreus.

Zagreus was the first EDA I listened to, and I was fine. Really my only confusion was that I kept getting the different voices mixed up, but I don't think you'll have that problem.

As for the audios being Doctor/Charley shippy, I haven't experienced that. I've listened to a half-dozen or so, and they all seem to be pretty generic level of Doctor/Companion interaction.
