The Valeyard

This week we take a look at one of the most infamous villains (both in the fiction and out) to ever spar with, well, himself. The Valeyard has come up more times than coincidence allows lately, so we’ve decided to take a look back and help everyone understand who this notorious Master-wannabe really is. We revisit his introduction in Trial of a Timelord, examine his forays into literary works, and explore some of the trivia surrounding this treacherous Timelord. Link […]

Whovians Are Brilliant

In the wake of our brief vacation, we decided to take some time and brag on our fellow fans. Whovians are a fantastic breed and they will never stop surprising you with their diversity and acceptance. This week Jay and Melissa discuss some of the encounters we’ve had with wild Whovians. Link Dump: Royal visit to the TARDIS 4th Doctor Time Capsule Box Set Murray Gold to premier new song at the Proms First look at David Bradley as the […]

Who Tech

No one can deny that the Doctor has some really awesome gadgets. We go and buy toy replicas just so we can have a small feeling of what it’s like to have such amazing tech. Well we decided to talk about all those wonderful gizmos and dig into what makes them so great (or sometimes, infamous). Is there anything you feel we missed or didn’t explore deeply enough? Let us know your favorites in the comments below. Share which sonic […]

Whovian Starter Pack

With the 50th anniversary and a new Doctor right around the corner, there has never been as big a buzz around Doctor Who as we have now. So it seems like a natural time to star indoctrinating new Whovians. Now we’ve all had that horrible experience of trying to explain Doctor Who, and you’ve probably sat someone down and told them to start watching just to have them lose interest right around the farting alien fiasco. Well we decided to give […]

Series 7 Review

While it was broken into two halves in every way possible, this week we endevour to take a look back on series 7 as a whole. We revisit the highs, and the many lows and share some listener feedback. We also look back at some of our predictions from back in January and check their validity now Link Dump: MILK to take over for the Mill as the VFX studio for Doctor Who Alex Kingston talks new Who https://media.blubrry.com/gallifreypublicradio/gallifreypublicradio.com/media.gallifreypublicradio.com/gprepisode41.mp3Podcast: Play […]

Strax Day?

In the interests of fairness, as we *did* recognize River Song Day last week, we should point out that on 4 June, 2011, BBC aired the episode “A Good Man Goes to War’, which featured the first appearance of our beloved soldier, field nurse, chauffeur, memory worm wrangler (novice) and explosive enthusiast, Sontaran Commander Strax. (Follow him on Twitter @SontaranStrax.) So join us in the battle cry: “Sontar-HA! Sontar-HA!” Just don’t refer to him as “The Potato One”. He gets […]

The Name of the Doctor – Round 2

This finale was just too dense for us to let go. We watched it again (some of us have lost count at this point) and dove back into the fray for another go round. This super-sized episode is chock full of as much as we could cram into it that we didn’t get in last week. Link Dump: Jemma Redgrave on her “vow of secrecy” filming the DW 50th 50th Anniversary books coming Leave John Simm Alone! Clarence and the […]

The Name of the Doctor

Do you hear the Whispermen?  The Whispermen are near. If you hear the Whispermen then turn away your ear. The series finale is finally hear and Whovians around the globe have suffered a collective neural meltdown. Answers were given, more questions were asked, and potato men flew through windows with burly Scottish brawlers. All in all, a terrific finale. We discuss how this episode could possibly affect the 50th anniversary, series 8, and the fandom as a whole. Join in on the […]

Nightmare in Silver

The long wait is finally over. Neil Gaiman’s sophmore episode is here and we’re ready to break it down and tear into this meaty morsel. This highly anticipated episode has left a bit of a rift between die-hard Gaimanites and casual observers. Which side do you fall in? With only a few days left until the series finale,  we have far more questions than answers and we’re quickly running out of time to get everything we’re hoping for, if not […]

Mr. Sweet will not be joining us.

The Episode That Was Not Meant To Be

With sincerest apologies, a technical issue beyond our Gallifreyan engineering skills rendered the last podcast episode (for “The Crimson Horror”) dead and gone, as if it were beaten to death by a vengeful daughter coming to the realization of her mother’s cruel manipulation and callous treatment. Or…well…we could just say the audio got corrupted in a power surge during recording, and we were foolish enough not to have a redundancy recording in place offsite.  Silly us. In fact, it goes […]
