Doctor Who: Gallifrey Public Radio

We spend some time this episode looking at all the elements of "classic" Doctor Who that have been incorporated in some way into the modern (post-2005) series, be it a revisitation, an overt reference, or an extremely clever Easter Egg.

This week, we bid a fond farewell to Jo Grant, as she parts company with the Third Doctor in the Season 10 closer, "The Green Death".

Looking back on the year, we run down some of the highlights that we as fans of Doctor Who have enjoyed from on screen, in audio, comics, books, and among the community channels.

This week, we bid a most emotional farewell to our Twelfth Doctor, and shout in triumphant welcome to our Thirteenth. Steven Moffat gives us his final television story, and more characters returning than you could have imagined, in "Twice Upon a Time".

Joined this week by television producer and devout classic Whovian, Dave Barsky, we go many, many levels below the surface to find the positives in the 1973 story, "Planet of the Daleks".

This week, we're joined by long-time listener and friend of the podcast Nicole to discuss, debate, and dissect what it means to be an 'official' companion of the Doctor.

This week, we're joined by friend and fellow podcaster Drew Meyer (of Who and Company) to enjoy -- and ponder -- the final Pertwee episode to feature Roger Delgado as the Master, 'Frontier In Space'.

This week, we take time to thank the Doctor Who franchise for the many gifts it has given us as fans over 54 years. From the stories, to the characters, to the conventions, to you as podcast listeners, we have so many reasons to be thankful.

Our Classic Rewatch progress brings us to the mad "Incredible Journey Meets Groundhog Day" conditions of "Carnival of Monsters". Knock back a quick chota peg to brace your nerves, and let's begin!

This week, we share the live recording from LI Who 5 of our audience participation game, in which players (you lovely listeners) attempt to identify the false fact from amid a trio of odd trivia. Thanks to Alyssa from This Week in Time Travel for joining!

This week, we're thrilled to sit back and enjoy the tenth anniversary episode of the classic Doctor Who run, "The Three Doctors". Hoist on those gigantic helmets, and will a few couch-side snacks into existence, because this is a fantastic one.

This week, we're joined by good friends and hosts of the podcast, "This Week In Time Travel", Alyssa and Chip, to discuss the very nature of podcasting about Doctor Who during 'downtime' periods. We get into the weeds on airing out long-standing friendly debates, delving into the constant stream of extended materials, and the merits of taking topic cues from the fanbase directly. 

This week, we're pleased to be joined by Will and John of the Mutter's Spiral podcast, chatting away about the six-part Pertwee and Delgado adventure in Atlantis, 'The Time Monster'. With the ideal amalgam of content and camp, character and craziness, it's an immediately enjoyable story with enough to please both rabid Third Doctor and Jo Grant fans, while still giving those of us with a little sense of self-effacing humor plenty to snicker at -- with love, always with love.

This week, we have the L.I. Who showrunner himself, Ken Deep, back with us to discuss the Herculean efforts that go into putting such a convention together.

Pertwee goes political -- sort of -- as we're joined by Stephen Webb of the Coal Hill AV Club to enjoy the Third Doctor's 1972 adventure on Soros, 'The Mutants'. Shed those bulky exoskeletons, and embrace the radioactive fun!
