This section is always open to discovering new Doctor Who/Sarah
Jane/K9/Torchwood material of note. If you think your webcast/podcast (or
somebody else's) belongs in this section, e-mail me.

Doctor Who: Podshock http://www.gallifreyanembassy.org/vortex
Live Talkshoe broadcasts - http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/23358
call in number (724) 444-7444 call id 23358
1) Home to the longest continuously running weekly-ish international Doctor Who
chat show 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 a feed for live 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:
-Podshock Episode 152. The Gallifreyan Embassy turns 24. The forums at Outpost
Gallifrey are turning off. BBC America turns to HD. Doctor Who's future in
Canada turns to SPACE. The hosts turn to Mike Doran in preparation of the
Canadian Doctor Who Convention Who Party 14. James Naughton was not able to turn
up for this one (though he did appear in podcast land this week). How many more
turns are there? Turn in to find out.
-Coming soon - Podshock Episode 153. Recorded Thursday, while I was at work
rather than a phone. Why would that matter? Well, you never know.

Radio Free Skaro http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
The 3 Canadians (Warren, Steven, Chris) get together on the weekends for about
an hour or more to discuss the latest in Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane
in a fairly amusing manner. When one is away, the 4th Canadian (Katrina) will
play. They recently completed a series of bonus features on Wednesdays in
varying styles.
Current episode:
#144 - "Square Peggs" - Warren's job makes him miss another episode, with
Katrina stepping in. Much news and rambling occured. Then they started watching
The Long Game, the episode that many people in British Columbia had problems
seeing on first broadcast due to a local election blowing out those CBC stations
(the BC stations aired The Long Game 4 days later). Odds are the three hosts on
this episode were not in British Columbia in 2005, but the inconvenience people
like Warren's friends in BC might have experienced has been partially remembered
by SPACE's pickup of all 4 previous series of modern Who, in a press release
that was new-ish when this episode was recorded. SPACE is unlikely to have
regional breakouts for election coverage.
#Bonus - "Warren Frey interviews Ron Moore" - While Warren was off missing Radio
Free Skaro, he was doing some interviews. And if you have a video interview with
Ron Moore of modern Battlestar Galactica on your hands, you throw it onto your
podcast feed, even if Doctor Who is never mentioned. Warning - the video is just
under 8 minutes long, but the file size is very large.
Coming Soon:
#145 - "Kill Off Your Father's Day" - One week before Father's Day in the US,
Canada, UK, and various other countries - the gang of 3 to 4 Canadians look at
the Doctor Who episode - Father's Day. Warning to first time viewers of the
episode - the Doctor Who episode takes place in November, and has nothing to do
with the holiday.
And on Sunday July 26:
Commentary on Planet of the Dead, scheduled by coincidence just a few hours
after SPACE's premiere of the episode in Canada and just a few hours before BBC
America's premiere of the episode in the USA.

DWO Whocast http://www.thewhocast.com
Trevor from Australia and Marty from the UK talk Doctor Who with themselves,
others, and teddy bears dressed as doctors. Now with a rock version of the
opening theme, the Whocast continues to ask the questions that pop in to their
heads. Regular correspondent - James. Frequent guest - Michael of the Tin Dog
podcast.
Current episode:
#123 - News updates/feedback. After a few news headlines, the Whocast started
looking at their mail. But there was a distraction. The power of Karen Gillan's
red hair was calling out like a siren, luring conversation over. Not even to
Karen herself, but to her hair. If Karen's companion role is bald and she's
wearing a cap during her Doctor Who run, these two will be very annoyed.

Tin Dog Podcast http://www.tin-dog.co.uk
UK based podcast looking at the latest in Doctor Who, Torchwood, or Sarah Jane
Adventures. New episodes ever 2 weeks or so.
Current episodes:
#92 - Delta And The Bannermen. 1987 - The Tin Puppy is horrified by the story
Delta And The Bannermen. Then his Betamax* fails to record the story, allowing
Tin to forget the story for 22 years. 2009 - with the release of the DVD,
Michael returns to face a story that scared him (for the wrong reasons) the
first time. Does the memory cheat? If the tension is too great, the iTunes
descriptions gives away his reaction.
*Weirdly, my family's VHS machine ate the tape it tried to record Delta And The
Bannermen on, so I only saw 15 minutes on the first local broadcast. First time
the machine did this - not the last. 18 months later another station aired the
episode - the VHS did not record at all. On the third attempt the credits got
chopped off on both ends and the picture/sound were very poor, but I got to see
the story at last. Very frustrating when your recorder thinks it should have
editorial control over what you watch.

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 - Wizard's List of the Top 25 Science Fiction Shows Ever. Part 3
- Shows 4 to 1.
Upcoming episodes:
Sunday 2PM EDT/11AM PDT/7PM BST - 94. Superheroes Run Amok!
21 June 2PM EDT/11AM PDT/7PM BST - 95. Bring A Book
28 June 2PM EDT/11AM PDT/7PM BST - 96. The Man Behind The Curtain

Two Minute Time Lord http://twominutetimelord.com
A bite-sized commentary and revew show. Host Chip's interest was rekindled by
the 2005 revival. He believes in balancing old fandom and new viewers, respect
for the past and breaking the rules. He tries to keep his pontifications to 120
seconds, because we're ALL in a hurry these days.
Current Episodes:
#28 - Giving Kids A Voice. Doctor Who is a family show aimed at all ages. Yet so
much of fandom in general (and podcasts in particular) gets aimed straight at an
adult audience. Maybe the voices of children should be heard in the podcasting
halls.
#29 - Torchwood Series 4? Matt Smith's first enemy? Shock horror - Russell T
Davies has an idea for Torchwood if it is renewed for the 4th series! Shock
horror - Matt Smith's Doctor might encounter a monster that the Doctor has met
before! What do you do when the spoiler rumors are of things that are rather
obvious.

Staggering Stories http://www.staggeringstories.net
A wild, wandering podcast with Doctor Who and the other flavours of the moment
winding together roughly once every 2 weeks. The website's main focus is on
stories collected through the years. They like Daleks and Pertwee's head, don't
they? (Disclaimer - I wrote a Mr. Dalek story for them, and they published it.
I'm infiltrating all these podcasts and sites. Bwa-ha-ha.)
Current:
Episode 47 - "When Assassins Go Deadly" - Andy, Adam, Keith, Fake Keith, and
Jean look at the DVD release of the famous Tom Baker serial The Deadly Asassin.
Ashes To Ashes is getting to them. A choose your own adventure game fails to get
out of hand, much to everyone's surprise. And other stuff that looks odd on the
page but has caused several listeners to crash their cars over the years.
Coming soon - Episode 48. "When An Old Member Of The Team Starts Another Show"

The Flashing Blade Podcast http://www.flashingblade.org.uk
Tony Gallichan returns to podcast land with new podcaster Jo! to look at Doctor
Who and matters of interest. Tony grew up with UK fandom and knows all the
cliches. Jo! - didn't. No, Jo! is not Freema Agyeman in disguise pulling an
elaborate hoax. She does seem insistant on having an ! at the end of her name,
though. Flashing Blade wants to be known as the podcast that would like a nice
cup of tea.
Current episode - 1 The Pilot Podcast. Recorded in May, before Tony and Jo! had
a website ready or a launch date. Tony and Jo! recount their visit to the
Radiophonic Workshop concert, review The Five Doctors, compare their fan
histories, and teach the importance of taking care of your tea.

The Minute Doctor Who Podcast
http://web.mac.com/backintheussr6/The_Minute_Doctor_Who_Podcast/Podcast/Podcast.\
html
Video (sometimes just audio) podcast looking at Doctor Who projects. Episodes
are usually under 5 minutes long.
Current episodes - 15. Audio installment where the 1960s novelization Doctor Who
and the Crusaders suggests that the Doctor's grand-daughter Susan might have a
tie-in with modern British politics. Expose to follow.
16. Video installment. Luke exposits that Planet Of The Spiders was not the last
Jon Pertwee Doctor Who story. Nor was The Five Doctors or Dimensions In Time.
So, if Pertwee was not in Pertwee's last story, which story was it. Luke solves
the confusion in your minds.

Doctor Who Review Today http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/22756
Live editions Late Fridays 1AM EDT/10PM PDT/6AM BST every couple of weeks
Robert Carrie King reviews Doctor Who topics (DVDs and news, mostly) on this
Talkshoe program. Frequent cast member on CIA: Cultdom In Audio.
Most recent episode - June 12/13. Episode 36. The Missing episodes of Doctor Who
and, from new Who, The Impossible Planet.

The Tennantcast http://tennantcast.com
Kelsey, Kari, and friends get together to dish on the latest David Tennant news.
And at least for 2009, that still includes Doctor Who. They answer Chip's
thoughts about younger podcasting - these are the youngest Who-related
podcasters I know of. Their current plan is to do an episode each week, as they
are enthused by their topic and believe that practice makes better podcasts.
4 - After the Tennant round up, Alex Day is brought in to discuss his Trock
Band, which has done a collection of Doctor Who songs as part of their material.
What is a Trock Band? Ah, they knew they had a hook somewhere. Also, thoughts on
animated Who and what would make conventions more appealing to the
tween/teen/twentysomething fans.

The Wailing Fangirl http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/22228
Samantha (Romana 2) explores Doctor Who and fandom in Australia, sometimes with
the aid of the ladies of the Gallifreyan Time Love Brigade. Frequent cast member
on CIA: Cultdom In Audio.
Current episode - 8. A look at the First Doctor's Era.
Coming soon - they were planning to gush poetically when Planet Of The Dead
arrived. Planet has aired in Australia, so you never know when the Gallifreyan
Time Love Brigade will strike.

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 episode:
Planet Of The Dead - the commentary.

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 - 14 - The Massacre and The Arc. A gripping, high quality
historical is gatecrashed by Dodo. Earth's destruction is witnessed in Doctor
Who for the first time. Steven makes ethical choices and the production team
tries to modernize the show with a hip kid. These issues and more to be
discussed in this episode.

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.

Hoo On Who http://hooonwho.com
Fan reviews of recent Doctor Who DVDs by David Hooie, frequently with a guest
co-host.
Current episode - #10. Pyramids Of Mars, reviewed with guest host James Naughton
of Doctor Who: Podshock. Now all 3 official Podshock hosts have appeared.

Tim's Take On ...
Tim Drury's podcast on various issues. Still checking it out at press time.
Available on iTunes.

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 - May magazine episode. Nicholas Briggs updates us with the
newest information from Big Finish about their present and future.

Tachyon TV http://www.tachyon-tv.co.uk
Irregular and irreverant podcast looking at the world of Doctor Who with a
funhouse mirror and coming out the other side holding a plush toy that wasn't
really the one you wanted but you'll keep it anyway because you can give it to
your girlfriend to impress her. It's that kind of show.
Current segment - a short appeal by "Rula Lenska".

MMM Commentaries/Fantragic http://www.mmmcommentaries.com
Roving Australian podcasting gang. Commentaries on Doctor Who episodes, Star
Wars films, some Stargate stuff, and others. The Frantragic episodes look at
Doctor Who and other sci-fi news. Fantragic episodes are on a different iTunes
feed from MMM Commentary episodes.
Current episode - commentary on the 2008 movie of Iron Man.
Current Doctor Who episode - The Curse Of Fenric - DVD Extended Version.
MMM noticed that no commentary was done for the recut movie version of The Curse
Of Fenric on its DVD set either. So MMM does their own, along the line of their
recent commentary for Battlefield's DVD Extended Version.
