This Week In Doctor Who Spinoffs
January 17, 2009 - Vol 1, No 3
The weekly guide to Sarah Jane Smith broadcasts, podcasts, and other
matters.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/torchwood

The new titles of two weeks ago did not work very well, so I went
back to the drawing board. This section is covering all spinoff
matters except Torchwood, hence renaming it to This Week In Doctor
Who Spinoffs. The classic section, covering Europe, Africa, Asia, and
Australia - This Week In Doctor Who. For North and South America -
This Week In Doctor Who Western Hemisphere. For Torchwood - back to
just Torchwood This Week.

All is quiet on the Sarah Jane news front. Hopefully more stations
will pick it up soon, since they know there will be a 3rd series
available.

ONLINE RADIO SHOWS/PODCASTS:

This section is looking for currently in production, interesting
podcasts related to Doctor Who. If you think your webcast/podcast (or
somebody else's) belongs in this section, e-mail me. There may be
some additional podcasts coming on board later this month.

Doctor Who: Podshock http://www.gallifreyanembassy.org/portal
Live Talkshoe broadcasts - http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/23358
call in number (724) 444-7444 call id 23358
1) Home to the Weekly-ish chat show with US and UK Doctor Who fans
done in podcast format. Hosted by Louis Trapani, Ken Deep, and James
Naughton, with frequent contributions/co-hosting by Dave AC, Mike
Doran, and a cast of many. There is a feed for studio shows and for
life shows.
2) Also home to the Sonic Newsdriver, Louis Trapani's weekly rundown
of new Doctor Who news.
3) Also home to the Hitch-hiker's Guide To British Sci-Fi, a podcast
covering a mix of shows, including Doctor Who.
Current episode:
Episode 137 - Review of The Next Doctor, part 1 of 2. Cleaned up and
annotated version of the most recent live podcast episode. The second
half will come later. The Podcast team chat live online with the
audience about the Christmas 2008 episode. At this point (December
28, 2008) it was not known that the BBC would announce the new Doctor
in just a few days.

SciFi Overdrive http://www.scifioverdrive.com
Joey Reynolds guested on the January 9/12 edition of Overdrive,
discussing the announcment of Matt Smith as the Doctor in both hours.
Jarrod Cooper of Hurricane Who was also in hour 2. Lifestyle Talk
Radio aired the episode late Friday January 9 at Midnight EST.
Business Talk Radio will air it late Sunday/early Monday at 2AM EST.
Links to the networks are at SciFi Overdrive. There should be
podcasts of the broadcast available.

American Who http://www.instituteforspacepolitics.org/amwho
Joey Reynolds' monthly online show with Doctor Who interviews and
news. On hiatus. Will resume listing when/if show resumes.

That Sci-Fi Show http://www.adastraradio.com - discontinued. Final
listing.

DWO Whocast http://www.thewhocast.com
Current episodes:
Whocast episode 103. The history of Matt Smith. The Temptation of
Sarah Jane Smith. The need for more Smiths. These things and more may
have been discussed in the new episode of DWO Smithcast, er, Whocast.

The Two Doctors http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thetwodoctors
call in number (718) 664-9807
Jim Iaccino and Kenn Gold look at the latest SciFi broadcasts in the
US, with emphasis on fitting in Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica,
Fringe, and the other big scifi shows of the moment. Everything is
based on US premiere dates rather than UK. Approximately 90 minutes
per episode. Show airs live with a text chat and can be downloaded
later.
Current episode - The new Doctor, Atlantis' end, and a programming
gremlin limiting the show to an hour.
Next episode - Sunday 9PM PST (Midnight EST, 5AM GMT) - 2 hour
episode planned as they expected the Battlestar Galactica mid-4th
season premiere episode to cause a lot of debate. I have seen the
episode - it will. The recent passings of Ricardo Montalban (Fantasy
Island, "Khan" on Star Trek) plus Patrick McGoohan (The Prisoner)
will also likely take up space.

Tin Dog Podcast http://www.tin-dog.co.uk
Weekly UK based podcast looking at the latest in Doctor Who,
Torchwood, or Sarah Jane Adventures. New episodes ever 2 weeks or so.
Current episode - 77, a discussion on Full Circle, the first story in
the E-Space Trilogy.

CIA - Cultdom In Audio http://ciashock.podomatic.com
Live Talkshoe broadcasts http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/30659
call in number (724) 444-7444 call id 30659
West, Dave AC, Colin, and other Doctor Who fans liked the live Doctor
Who: Podshocks so much that they wanted to keep talking afterwards.
The resulting show covers Doctor Who, anything else sci-fi related,
and can go wildly off in all directions. Chats open 15 minutes before
the scheduled start time.
Current episode - Quantum Leaps and Short Trips. Many shows that
traveled in time were mentioned, but the focus was on Quantum Leap.
Upcoming episodes:
Sunday 2PM EST/11AM PST/7PM GMT - You Made A Time Machine Out Of A
Delorean? I'm guessing CIA is heading back to the future.
25 January 2PM EST/11AM PST/7PM GMT - I've Got A Bad Feeling About
This

Radio Free Skaro http://radiofreeskaro.wordpress.com
The 3 Canadians get together on Sundays for about an hour or two or
more to discuss the latest in Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane
in a fairly amusing manner.
Current episode - #117 - Warren is back. You can figure out the rest.
Sunday or Monday - #118 - No stories had been mentioned for
commentaries, so the 3 Canadians will probably be filling their time
discusisng the news of the week. They might mention that HD Net
Canada is going to start airing Series 2 of Torchwood in High
Definition and commerical free for the first time in Canada on 26
January. Or possibly the return of Classic Who to BBC Kids in a
primetime weekday slot on 26 January. Space's improvements making it
hard to surf their website? I'm running out of Canadian ideas here.

A Podcast Of Impossible Things
http://podcastofimpossiblethings.blogspot.com
Cardiff-based Doctor Who fans get together to discuss the latest
Doctor Who and do a full length commentary on new Doctor Who episodes.
Current episodes:
Mini episode where Caleb Woodbridge watches the Confidential on first
broadcast and gives his thoughts as the Doctor is announced..

A Whovian's Quest http://www.whovianquest.com
Jonathan Rainer is podcasting his experiences as he watches Doctor
Who. In original broadcast order. From 1963. Without a gap. Can he
pull it off?
Current episode - 13 - The Web Planet. Includes an update on the
delays in the interactive website Jonathan is planning.

Bigger On The Inside http://www.earth-2.net
Mike and Dan decide to do their own podcast exploring each Doctor Who
story in broadcast order. It is a very different style from
Jonathan's. Again - can they pull it off? Part of the Earth-2 family
of podcasts. Warning - explicit language (swearing). If your
headphones leak any sound at all - do not listen at work.
Current episode - 4 - The Keys Of Marinus. Yartek's revenge.
Next episode - 5 - The Aztecs.

The Big Finish Podcast http://www.bigfinish.com/podcast
Big Finish podcasts at least once a month to discuss their Doctor Who
and other projects (Sapphire and Steel, Stargate (!), Dark Shadows,
Bernice Summerfield, etc).
Current episode - Big Finish 2009 Doctor Who release schedule special.

Cliff And Stephanie's Doctor Who Fan Podcast http://www.gspn.tv
Current episode - 17 - Review of Midnight, Turn Left, The Stolen
Earth, and Journey's End (free)
Next episode - content unknown
Cliff and Stephanie Ravenscraft review Doctor Who episodes when their
busy schedule of podcasts allows time. This time it is a group review
of the end of Series 4 and their thoughts on Doctor Who's upcoming
break/loss of David Tennant.
GSPN.tv is a network of podcasts on TV shows, daily life, religion,
and other issues that interest the 3 Ravenscrafts. Doctor Who Fan
Podcast becomes one of the pay programs in the network starting with
episode 12. The existing paying audience ranked Doctor Who dead last
in their interests (annoying the hosts who want to do the show but
are living off the revenue from their podcasts). If you subscribe to
their podcasts in order to hear the new Doctor Who episodes, be sure
to alert them that you are doing this. Half the episodes expected to
be free, half paid.

MMM Commentaries http://www.mmmcommentaries.com
Roving Australian podcasting gang. Some episodes are a discussion of
the latest sci-fi news, including Doctor Who. Other episodes are
commentaries on Doctor Who episodes, Star Wars films, some Stargate
stuff, and others. Currently on a Blake's 7 kick, but recent
commentaries on The Invasion Of Time and The Deadly Assassin are
available.

2nd hour of the Friday show with Two Doctors co-host Kenn Gold.
