Across the Whoniverse: A Doctor Who Marathon Podcast

S01E07 "The Long Game" w/ Merrilee O'Neil & Brian Richards

Thu, 07 May 2026 08:00:00 -0500

Time Lords! This week, returning companion Merrilee O'Neil from the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective has helped us kidnap new companion Brian Richards to travel forward 200,000 years to Satellite Five.

The Doctor, Rose, and Adam Mitchell travel to a space station that broadcasts across the entire Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire but things aren't quite right. Technology is behind, attitudes towards aliens are off, and somebody is manipulating the media. Plus, our new companion goes on a side quest for his own self-interests.

We compare the state of media now to the disappearing of journalists and manipulations on Satellite Five and discuss how this episode inspired the Doctor and companion-lite episodes in the future. Plus, we ask ourselves, would you have a ten minute surgery to install a USB port into your forehead?

S01E06 "Dalek" w/ Gavin Mevius

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 09:00:00 -0500

Time Lords! This week, we kidnap returning companion Gavin Mevius of The Mixed Reviews and The Q Division podcasts as we travel into the far future of 2012.

The Doctor and Rose follow a distress signal to a ruthless billionaire's underground bunker museum and discover its only living artifact is the Doctor's greatest enemy, a Dalek.

We discuss Rose's limitless compassion, how this episode was adapted from the Sixth Doctor Big Finish audio Jubilee, and the parallels of the Doctor's rage and the Daleks genetically engineered inhumanity, and how maybe they aren't so different. Plus, Gavin talks about lime-wiring the show in 2005 and Paige considers crocheting Ptings and Daleks out of drag for Chels.

S01E04-05 "Aliens of London" & "World War Three" w/ Shannon Cay

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0500

Time Lords! This week, we kidnapped filmmaker Shannon Cay as we travel to 2006 London.

Our first two-parter of the new era follows the Doctor and Rose Tyler as they accidentally travel forward to London 2006, where Rose has been declared a missing person. As they deal with the consequences of imprecise time-travel, an alien spacecraft flies over London and the city is sent into a lockdown. With the Doctor and Rose trapped inside Downing Street, it's up to Mickey Smith to save the day. Our villains may not be silent but they are very deadly!

We tackle Mickey Smith's zero to hero arc, RTD's fatphobia, and if commenting on world events through art works in the moment. Plus, we ponder if Miss Piggy is a Time Lord and the Hilary Duff Don't Say Gay PSA. Come for the farting aliens, stay for the Invasion of Iraq allegory!

Time Lords! This week, we travel billions of years into the future to hangout with our favorite toxic trampoline, and joining us for this adventure is our favorite composer companion Morgan, creator of Female Gaze: The Film Club podcast and website.

As we explored Platform One, we wondered if rich aliens watching the demise of the Earth was too on the nose? Our guest makes deep connections between Doctor Who and Audrina Patridge, while Chels and Paige reminisce about Drag Race contestant Joella's accidental Lady Cassandra cosplay. Plus, we breakdown the messy inspiration for this unforgettable villain.
