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. My audio device
used for most of this programming is trying to turn itself into an
expensive paperweight, which is slowing down efforts in
listening/listing any other relevant podcasts. Touch screens don't
work well enough - bring back buttons.

Doctor Who: Podshock http://www.gallifreyanembassy.org/portal
Live Talkshoe broadcasts - http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/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 periodic
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 140 - another, more involved Gallifrey 2009 pre-show. If you
are coming to Gallifrey, it can help whet the appetite. If like me
you cannot make it this year, it gives inspiration to save up money
for the next one.

DWO Whocast http://www.thewhocast.com
Current episodes:
Whocast episode 106. A day at Big Finish, including interviews with
Nicholas Briggs and Sylvester McCoy.
Whocast episode 107 - came out just as TWIDW was hitting the
internet. Russell from the Rambling with Russell podcast is a guest.

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 - didn't do one on Super Bowl night.
Next episode - Sunday 9PM PST (Midnight EST, 5AM GMT) - The end of
the newest Galactica should grab their attention. So should the
Torchwood trailer, Doctor Who being in HD, Caprica going DVD before
TV, and BBC America just bought a bunch of British shows.

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 - 80 - Warriors Gate and a Big Finish audio.

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 - Video Gaming.
Upcoming episodes:
Sunday 2PM EST/11AM PST/7PM GMT - Action/Adventure movies. And guys,
if there is any chance, could we call the Podshock folks who should
be live at the Gallifrey convention right then? Just asking.
22 February 2PM EST/11AM PST/7PM GMT - Life On Mars.

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 episodes:
#121 - regular episode.
#122 - Friday February 13 - 1st Gallifrey show. And I'm not there -
darn budget. The Tachyon TV people visit, so there is explicit
language. Series 1 Torchwood level language, which is ironic.
Coming this weekend - #123 and #124 - Gallifrey Saturday and
Gallifrey Sunday.

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:
Commentary on episode 1.03 The Unquiet Dead along with the 2 minute
preview of The Next Doctor from Children In Need. Recorded before
Christmas 2008.

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 - 6. The Reign Of Terror. An interesting insight into
the difficulty of getting into a classic Who story when the video is
missing from the 2 most plot filled episodes.

Hooe On Who - reviews of recent Doctor Who DVDs. This week - 3
reviews at once.

Staggering Stories - in the middle of checking out

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.
Current episode - Terror Of The Autons, pt 2.
