Growing Beyond the Screen, Live from (Re)Generation Who

At the sophomore outing for the Baltimore-based (Re)Generation Who convention, we were thrilled to have, as we so often do at smaller, more ‘intimate’ cons, chat at length with the stars, creators, and of course, the fans of the Doctor Who universe. In addition to the casual time spent in mutual enjoyment of our favourite program, we were pleased to moderate a few panels that focused on topics that we have broached on GPR in episodes past, but now had the opportunity […]

Live from Gallifrey One: Station 27

Consider it the family reunion you actually want to attend each year — we return to the corridors and conference rooms of the Los Angeles Marriott, and the 27th iteration of the Gallifrey One convention. Joined (this time in person!) by Alyssa of Whovian Feminism, we recap our personal highlights of the weekend, console one another on our mutual exhaustion, and revel in all the memories we take with us on our respective travels homeward. From child cosplayers who delighted […]

Katy Manning: Interview from L.I. Who 3

There are those you meet in your lifetime who are unquenchable positivists. There are some who are natural sources of energy. There are others still who are naturally loving, amiable spirits. Then there is Katy Manning: all these things and more. Recorded live from L.I. Who 3, the New York Doctor Who convention in November 2015, the GPR staff sits down for an extended session with the bright, brilliant, and instantly endearing talent who gave us “Jo Grant” from the Pertwee era […]

Camille Coduri: Interview from L.I. Who 3

Boisterous, outspoken, welcoming and warm, you can always tell when an actor is playing a role that comes from parts of their own persona — and Rose’s unforgettable mum is no exception. Recorded live from L.I. Who 3, the New York Doctor Who convention in November 2015, the GPR staff sits down for a few minutes (and a few laughs) with Camille Coduri, “Jackie Tyler” from the new series. https://media.blubrry.com/gallifreypublicradio/gallifreypublicradio.com/media.gallifreypublicradio.com/gpr161coduri.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedSubscribe: Apple Podcasts […]

Live from L.I. Who 3

“No changes are permanent / But change is.” Musician Neil Peart’s lyric from ‘Tom Sawyer’ may very well have been speaking of the Doctor Who program, a premise that, since the Troughton era, was built upon the idea of changes great and small. Recorded live from the Friday festivities at Long Island Doctor Who Con 3 (or L.I. Who 3, for short), we get a rare opportunity to chat directly with attending GPR listeners on the subject of intentional instability […]

An Inside Update on L.I. Who 3

Whether you believe your calendar or not, November is right around the corner. Here in the Whovian realm, that means the Long Island Doctor Who Convention, and the talented folks behind L.I. Who 3 are ramping up for the biggest DW-fandom convention in the northeast United States — perhaps the entire east coast — and this is only their third year hosting the event. In this special supplementary episode, Keir and Jay discuss the upcoming festivities with Andre Tessier, who handles press relations […]

Doctor Who at SDCC 2015

  From being completely absent last year, to coming in force this year, Doctor Who is no stranger to the world of San Diego Comic Con. While their “World Tour” in 2014 made an appearance at SDCC superfluous, they made up for it this year by bringing Steven Moffat, Jenna Coleman, Michelle Gomez, and the Doctor himself, Peter Capaldi to the most recognizable name in conventions in the U.S. This week Haley and Jay discuss the panel in a maximum […]

Fan Expo Dallas 2015

This week, Keir and Jay take a backseat and make Haley do all of the heavy lifting as we listen to some of the great panels by Sylvester McCoy, Billie Piper, and Karen Gillan from Fan Expo Dallas. (It’s about time Haley pulled her weight, seriously. Sheesh.)

Live from Gallifrey One: The 26 Seasons of Gallifrey One

Imagine — if you will — that your tireless crusade has been completed, and you have finally converted everyone to Whovianism. You walk down the street, and every living soul you cast your eyes upon is a Whovian. You can strike up a conversation with a complete stranger and discuss your favorite companion, series, villain, or storyline. You can enter a crowded room and shout, “I always take a banana to a party!” and everyone laughs, and knows precisely what you […]

One L.I. Who 2 Remember

We knew we had arrived at a very special place when the little Nissan compact in front of us had license plates from over 1,800 miles away, and a plush Dalek hanging from the rear-view window. Unpacking the recording gear and heading towards the lobby, the unmistakable “Official TARDIS Chase & Recovery Vehicle” owned and operated by the gifted TARDIS Tara dominated the first two parking spaces like a Whovian shrine. A glance to the right displayed a small sign […]
