Doctor Who Target Book Club Podcast

Welcome to the DOCTOR WHO TARGET BOOK CLUB PODCAST, the podcast in which we undertake the [insert adjective here] project of discussing, in story order, all of the DOCTOR WHO novelizations!

One of the joys of reading a novelization is reliving a story that you’ve always loved. Another joy of reading a novelization is not having to see the things you despised in a story that you’ve always hated. Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton Hughes as they discuss how PARADISE TOWERS fits the latter category more than the former. Build High for Happiness!

Timestreams

He’s a classic fan. She’s a new series fan. Nathan and Juliette venture through time and space to review every episode of Doctor Who and tell each other why they should appreciate each and every era.

In this episode Nathan and Juliette talk about the premiere of the second season of Doctor Who, Planet of Giants. Along the way Juliette expresses her love for the movie; Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Nathan goes into detail about cutting a serial down-to-size. They both discuss questionable life choices, feline hypnotists, and basic infection control protocols. They also get into topical issues in science-fiction and whether an effects heavy production can withstand the test of time.

The Old Doctor Who Show

Doctor Who Podcast by Eric Grissom and Dan Johnson reviewing the classic era. That’s right, this is the good stuff. Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, Baker, Davison, the other Baker, and McCoy. Maybe even McGann. Some say they do it because they ran over a magical drifter who cursed them. Others claim the show was willed to them by their long-lost British “Uncle”. Whatever the reason, the one thing you can count on is these two Americans really love Doctor Who.

We’re back for another season of Doctor Who. Won’t you join us? The Old Doctor Who Show is hosted by Dan Johnson and Eric Grissom.

Doctor Who Literature

Doctor Who is not just one of the world’s longest-running science fiction TV shows, but it’s also generated a prolific amount of tie-in books, often with strong literary merit. Join Jason from the Trap One Podcast on a journey through the Target novelizations, in publication order. Every week there’s a conversation with a guest, a breakdown of that week’s book, and a trivia game.

Doctor Who Literature is on break until the New Year, but Jason and Callie come back for one night to discuss this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special: Joy to the World, by Steven Moffat. Warning, this is a FULL SPOILER chat so don’t listen until you’ve watched the episode first. Callie as always does not hold back on any opinion, and Jason as always has slight trouble staying on topic.

Time Ram

Have you ever watched an episode of Classic Doctor Who and wondered what it would have been like if it was made these days? Or have you watched an episode of the modern series and wondered what it would be like if it had been made in the 60s, 70s or 80s? You haven’t…? Well, good news – Time Ram is here so you don’t have to! In this Podcast, we use a random number generator to select one of the 13 Doctors from William Hartnell to Jodie Whittaker and then again to select one of the televised stories from An Unearthly Child right through to The Power of the Doctor. Then we ram them together, creating a new hybrid episode(s), which is sometimes a roaring success, sometimes an absolute disaster – but always entertaining.

It’s the end… and the moment hasn’t been prepared for, as Time Ram takes Sylvester McCoy’s final TV story ‘Survival’ and drags it hissing and scratching into the era of Tom Baker. The Master is back, but no-one can recognise him because he’s dressed as a bush! We also take a trip to London’s poshest slum, encounter deadly hand-puppets and reunite with Sarah and Harry.

Doctor Who Gives A F*ck

A drunken Doctor Who podcast for the “end times”. Hosted by JB Anderton (formerly WHO 37), Chris Buchanan (formerly Dirty WHOers) and Sean Homrig (formerly The TARDIS Tavern). Each month we have our “boys night out” over Skype, have some drinks or other illicit substances, and discuss Doctor Who or whatever else is on our minds. “Think of a respectable, sophisticated, erudite person you would bring on date and yet be bored. That’s the other Doctor Who podcasts. This podcast is the date with the short skirt bad, bad habit, a criminal record and a dirty mouth. You may end up in a river or a dumpster by the end of the date but you know it was worth it. Doctor Who Gives F*ck is the dirty date you want to say ‘no’ to but you just can’t resist. It’s bad for you but way more fun than Radio Free Skaro.” – review from listener Robert O Shea

JB and Sean are joined by Lelon Stoldt for this round of Disney Who episode reviews. And though we all dump on “The Robot Revolution”, we actually have a lot of nice things to say about “Lux” and “The Well”. Is RTD setting us up for another disappointing series finale, or will he actually stick the landing this time? In any event, f*ck him for killing the cat!
