so ['fɔɪ.bɫ] (phoible) has a list of phonetic segments (sounds) used in all the world's languages. There's approximately 2,160 segments.

[Doctor Who] audio dramas 

The Genocide Machine is the first audio drama to be kinda disappointing – the first 3 parts are fine, but once the last part starts, you already know how it's going to end and you're just waiting for it to happen.
