Hold on to your cups!

We’re getting all our many, many digital outlets in order, and reestablishing the multi-faceted connection between our podcast distribution and this Patreon account. (Things have been changing under the hood!) That’s going to mean that this feed will be a better resource to follow the main episode roster for all followers and patrons, as well as a series of additions we have slated for early 2024 that harken to the most creative but simultaneously ridiculous ideas we’ve tried in the […]

GPR Panels Announced for L.I. Who 4

The ink is drying, the program director is getting a much-needed break for a moment, and the weekend agenda for Long Island Doctor Who is starting to solidify. If you’re planning to join the thousands in New York for this momentous event, here’s a look at just a few of the scheduled goings-on that will feature your intrepid (exhausted, slightly punchy) Gallifrey Public Radio team.

BBC Announces New Whovian Spin-Off

In an unexpected and rather unusual social media announcement today, the BBC unveiled plans for a new YA series within the Doctor Who universe titled Class, with the familiar names Steven Moffat, Brian Minchin and author Patrick Ness as executive producers. Shooting in Spring of 2016, it will be set at the famous fictional Coal Hill School, where so much of Doctor Who both classic and new has taken place. We say “unusual” because in hinting that “huge news” was […]

A Word on Jenna Coleman’s Departure

We in the Doctor Who fan community had every reason to suspect this was going to happen, but with a single day before Series 9 commences, the news that Ms. Coleman will be departing the program feels bittersweet. Let me explain. As we on GPR have pointed out many times over the past six months, Jenna weathered the criticisms received for how the Clara character was written and presented in the latter half of Doctor Who‘s Series 7 — criticisms that […]

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 […]

A Whovian at DragonCon

There is a certain form of tangible energy when a large gathering of people start to descend upon a single location, an element of anticipation and excitement that collects and rises in a wave that distorts time. With each new cluster of arrivals, the throng grows in intensity and volume, punctuated with shrieks of welcome, the clap of embraces, and the chatter that turns all individual conversations into an increasing fun, devoid of individual words, but uniform in a tone […]

GelaSkins for the Win

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 […]

Who is Responsible?

In the afterglow of “The Day of the Doctor” and “The Time of the Doctor” I can’t help but think about all the implications that these two pivotal episodes link. Things like the Doctor fully expecting to die at Lake Silencio, knowing he had no regenerations left as an ace in the hole. Or Rory, who wanted kids so badly, never being able to hold his actual daughter as a child (The one time he did, it was a ganger). This […]
