A long-running Doctor Who fandom podcast aimed at open and positive discussion.
Take 30 sci-fi, fantasy, gaming and tech enthusiasts, give them 4+ days away from all responsibility, and release them in the desert. No, it isn’t a new, dorky season of Survivor, but it is Geekation 2014, the nerd-meetup event in Las Vegas where laughs were had, drinks were consumed, dollars were spent, and in the thick of it all, we recorded a live podcast about the upcoming Season 8 of Doctor Who, and discussed the facts and fantasies behind the […]
As many of you know, GPR were among quite a few podcast of the Gonna Geek Network that made it to Geekation this year. Since it is such a rare thing for all of us to be in the same time zone, let alone the same hotel suite, we took the opportunity to do a podcast all together, recapping some of the highlights of the “Poindexter Party” up to that point. Your Contributors: Jay: Gallifrey Public Radio and the Starling Tribune […]
The Sixth Doctor walks into a building, and they have build an extension just to house his ego. If it were a tangible thing, the Sixth’s sense of self-importance could be seen from space. After his regeneration on Androzani Minor, the TARDIS had to increase her internal space by 37% just to fit his hubris. His brashness is a viable replacement for sandpaper. His bravado can infuriate a Vulcan. He’s one of the most infuriating and irascible Time Lords this side of the High […]
From the mad uncle to the benevolent teacher, we arrive at Peter Davison and his signature portrayal of the Fifth Doctor. Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of him amidst everyone he brought on board the TARDIS and took on as temporary allies, but he never failed to set himself firmly in our memories with his charm, his enthusiasm, and his, um, well, his choices in fashionable vegetation. Episodes reviewed: Castrovalva Resurrection of the Daleks Caves of Androzani Link Dump: […]
What’s the point of being grown up, if you can’t be childish once in a while? We ask that very question this week, as we continue our look back at some stand out stories from each Doctor’s era. In this episode, it is finally time for us to revel in the vast body of work from the man whose name would become synonymous with Doctor Who for decades to follow: the incomparable Tom Baker. Care for a jelly baby? Link […]
Who needs coffee when there are Whovians like John Smith out there coming up with videos like this. The effort of about 3 months worth of work from inception to final product, his first fully CG short is something that will haunt your memory for weeks to come. Well done, Mr. Smith. I now need clean shorts and an appointment with a therapist. Please show John some love on his YouTube page and his Facebook page. It’s fans like him […]
A while ago Keir decided to gush about his experience with GelaSkins, a company that makes high quality protective skins and cases for a huge assortment of devices. I recently got a skin for my iPhone and am getting some for my geeklings for easter to put on their Kindles. The great thing is that not only do they have an assortment of terrific artwork for you to choose from in their gallery, but they also allow you to upload […]
This week, we shine a light on the work of our Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee. We explore a few stand-out episodes from a truly stellar run, that helped to steer “Doctor Who” into becoming not only an increasingly popular program for the family, but one that became synonymous with the British identity and its pop culture through the 1970s and well beyond. From space hobo to action hero, the Doctor made a dramatic change in persona, and once again, brought […]
This week, we take another step into our personal selections for exemplary episodes of each of the individuals fortunate enough to portray the Doctor, and become part of the half-century legacy that draws us all together as Whovians.
A curmudgeon of a grandfather living with his granddaughter, in a weather-beaten blue box in a London junkyard? Sounds like a great start to show we expect to run for 50-plus years! Greenlight that project, pow-pow-pow! This week we are kicking off our own take on the “Doctors Revisited” retrospective with a focus on the first Doctor; William Hartnell. While the BBC America series did an exceptional job of compiling interviews and summary information about each Doctor’s tenure, each installment […]
