Latest Podcast Episodes

Join Heather Maloney and Michelle Talkington as they discuss everything Doctor Who.

Plus, a brief look at the new update from everyone’s favorite game, Doctor Who: Legacy.

And, of course, your feedback.

Hello everyone! This week we discuss Doctor Who on set in NYC, the new Doctor Who Encyclopedia for the iPad, Joe reviews “The Chase” in this week’s Classic Series Corner, and we wrap things up with a lively discussion about the parallels between RTD and Joss Whedon’s writing.

2 weeks and one nasty case of the BPP later, MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is finally back to talk about the 2014 Gallifrey One - the 25th annual extravaganza!  John (once again healthy) and Will discuss cosplaying for the first time, all of the great friends they spent time with and the various great moments of this year's GALLY!  We'll talk about all of it!  

Plus, as an added, first-time ever bonus - a 3rd voice!  Our friend Mette, who was instrumental in inspiring us to dress up and then crucial in helping us make our costumes actually look good, joins us for some ON LOCATION, in room costuming prep and discussion.  

Hopefully, it's "adorably giddy" (H/t to Deborah Stanish of VERITY!)!  Please take a listen!

Interview conducted with Annette Badland at Whooverville 5.

“She has a nice round face with dimples on it … and I quite like her hair.”

Doctor Who is nearly 50. It has been around for almost half a century and yet remains one of the most popular, creative and vital shows on television.

And the secret to this ridiculous longevity? Sure scripts, actors and production values play a part but the key ingredient, we would argue, is change.

The ability to renew itself, to change almost entirely and yet remain completely recognisable has emerged over the years as the programme’s greatest strength.

Now join the Ood Cast to celebrate the latest in a long glorious line of changes as Jenna-Louise Coleman is announced as the new companion.

Hear their opinions on the future of our beloved programme and then be prepared to be whisked into the recent past as Chris Sigma presents his feedback from the official convention.

Past, present, future – all of time and space is waiting for you.

Plus some people explode.

In this episode of the Doctor Who Podcast Trevor was lucky enough to sit down and have a chat with writer Gareth Roberts.

Now if we had to link in the show notes to all the things Gareth has done in Doctor Who and Doctor Who related media the internet would likely melt down due to overload.  Suffice to say Gareth has written for Doctor Who, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Big Finish.  He has written short stories and full length novels featuring Doctors new and old.

The latest work from Gareth is a novelisation of the “lost” story of Doctor Who, Shada.  This story has never enjoyed an official release in book form until now.  Trevor talks to Gareth about the challenges of bringing this story to life in the printed form.

We also announce the winner of the Robert Shearman competition from Episode #130.
