Who 37 - A Doctor Who Podcast

…in which our fully-clothed podcaster says goodbye to Matt Smith with a spoiler-filled review of "The Time of the Doctor".   

…in which our fearless podcaster catches up with two old friends from his home town at Chicago TARDIS.  There is also a recap of this year's convention, an editorial on the "forgotten" Doctor in the 50th Anniversary celebrations, and songs submitted by listeners.  Also, the secret origin of the WHO 37 theme song is finally revealed.  Happy holidays!  

A special podcast episode recorded at Chicago TARDIS 2013 featuring a one-on-one interview with classic series sound designer Dick Mills, the "Podcast Playground" panel with Erika Ensign & Lynne M. Thomas of the Verity Podcast and Alex Kennard of the Reality Bomb Podcast, and a report from Gordon Dymowski on the charity auction.  

…in which our fearless podcaster finishes what he started with DVD commentary for Part 4 of "The Deadly Assassin".  Expect lots of old man jokes, alcoholic jokes, and male anatomy jokes.  You have been warned...

…in which our fearless podcaster cries his eyes out in celebration of Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary with his review of "The Day of the Doctor." and his own personal tribute to the program.  

…in which our fearless podcaster gushes all over Paul McGann's ever-so-brief return to the television series, questions just who (or what) Billie Piper is playing in "The Name of the Doctor", and returns to DVD commentary duties with Part 3 of "The Deadly Assassin".  Also the latest updates on Chicago TARDIS, including which panels in which our fearless podcaster is participating.  

…in which our fearless podcaster puts on his "Sexy Doctor Voice", speculates on what part Rose Tyler will play in "The Day of the Doctor", and reviews Big Finish's 50th anniversary audio adventure, "The Light At The End". 

…in which our fearless podcaster is rocking his Barry White voice (he's got the flu).  Thankfully he doesn't have to carry this podcast by himself.  Joining him in this episode is Lauren Rapciak, local cosplayer and author of the Geek Girl Chicago blog.  Also, a review of the "Adventures with the Wife in Space" book.  

…in which our fearless podcaster shares the microphone with special guest Gordon Dymowski, co-host of the Zone 4 Podcast and organizer of the Chicago Doctor Who Meetup Group.  Of course we talk a lot about the rediscovered stories "The Enemy of the World" and "The Web of Fear" and also speculate if any other previously-lost stories may be waiting in the wings.  We also preview this year's Chicago TARDIS convention as well as the charity auction that will take place during the convention.  

…in which our fearless podcaster does it in front of a live audience.  Featuring The Doctor Him?Self and other panel attendees.  This episode also includes Part Two of "The Deadly Assassin" DVD audio commentary as well as some news about soon-to-be previously-missing episodes that may or may not materialize.  

…in which our fearless podcaster becomes a fearless DVD commentator.  It's episode one (or "Part One" rather) of "The Deadly Assassin".  Also a preview of all the Doctor Who events happening at ARCHON 37, including the WHO 37 panel.

…in which we go back in time to when our fearless (future) podcaster had his computer drawings published in issue 138 of Doctor Who Magazine, an event considered worthy enough to be featured in the local newspaper.  Topics include the horror of buying Doctor Who novels in 1988 bookstores, podcasts hosted by William Hartnell and William Shatner, what Matt Smith and David Tennant had for dinner, and the five-sided TARDIS console.  

…in which our fearless podcaster records his initial reaction to the news of Peter Capaldi being cast as the 12th Doctor (because what else would you do when you host a Doctor Who podcast?!?)  

… in which our fearless podcaster auditions for the 12th Doctor and interviews the members of Time Crash, a Chicago Trock band.  There's also more speculation on the 50th anniversary and some complaining about the BBC's double standard regarding spoilers.  

..in which our fearless podcaster looks back on Matt Smith's tenure as The Doctor, explains what he's looking for in a new Doctor, comes to terms with new series fandom, and shares his final thoughts on the "Timey Wimey" show.  Topics include attention deficit disorder, how Colin Baker got shafted again, TARDIS-shaped guitars, and why the Doctor should not be a woman.  Also, Jupiter the Cat makes a reappearance. 

We hear more from the cast and crew of The Right Brain Project's production of "The Timey Wimey Fantastic Brilliant Extravaganza (Geronimo!)  Think of these as extras on a DVD.  The track listing is as follows: The Writers' Tale (Mac & Justin) Jen on entering the world of WHO Storefront Theater and The Right Brain Project (Jen, Sarah & Tom) Auditioning for the Doctor (Clint & JB) Directing WHO (Emma, Roxie & Cast) The Cast (Emma, Nathan & Cast) The Two Doctors (Roxie & JB) Dalek Dialogue (JB) K9 (JB, Jen & Rush) Designing the Cyber Chair (Rush) Sound Design (Nathan, Clint, Roxie, Jen & Sarah) Fight Choreography (Orion) Dance Choreography (Brittany & JB) Music (Mac, Trevor, Nathan & Cast) Arranging the Doctor Who theme (Trevor) Favorite Doctors Favorite Companions Favorite Episodes The Message of Doctor Who

A special behind-the-curtain look at "The Timey Wimey Fantastic Brilliant Extravaganza (Geronimo!)", a stage production of The Right Brain Project in Chicago, featuring interviews with the cast and crew.  

…in which an emotionally charged podcaster does his impression of a CTA bus route - after weeks of no episode reviews, four of them show up at once.  It's a wrap up of Series 7-B from "Journey To The Center Of The TARDIS" to "The Crimson Horror" to "Nightmare in Silver" to "The Name of the Doctor".  Topics include: the mechanics of time lock technology and why The Doctor really can't see Amy & Rory again, why Jenny should press charges, references to better Doctor Who episodes, references to better episodes of other programs, crimes against the art of acting, and a new numbering system.  Also a preview of the "Timey Wimey" show.  Plenty of F-bombs are lobbied, and some tears are shed.  

…in which our fearless podcaster's head is about to explode.  It's been a rough couple of weeks, but he was able to navigate thru the turbulence and deliver a double-header review of "Cold War" and "Hide".  Topics include suspect or nonexistent accents and mispronunciations of fictional planets, the quest for the perfect Doctor Who episode, more Clara speculation, happiness as a clumsy metaphor for procreation, and mysterious laughter.  

…in which The Doctor is too stingy to give up his screwdriver, Clara is too good at preserving her leaf collection, the TARDIS' translator circuits aren't working, and you can apparently breathe in outer space.  Also, more rambling about the 50th Anniversary special.  All of this in less than 30 minutes. PROGRAMMING NOTE: Since this week's Doctor Who had way too much Murray Gold music, there will be no bumper music on this week's podcast.
