Across the Whoniverse: A Doctor Who Marathon Podcast

S01E12"Bad Wolf" w/ Jesse Garcia

Time Lords! This week, we've kidnapped reality TV herstorian Jesse Garcia, co-host of the Shhh, My Stories Are On! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2571618] podcast, for his first real foray into the Whoniverse as we're transported into the Game Station 100 years after the events of Satellite Five.  The Doctor, Rose Tyler, and Captain Jack Harkness are transported into futuristic reality shows like Big Brother and The Weakest Link, where they have to play to win or face deadly consequences. As they lip-sync for their lives and try to reunite, they discover they're on a familiar spaceship and they can no longer ignore the Bad Wolf warnings.  Our hosts walk Jesse through his first proper episode of Doctor Who and Jesse has hot takes! We discuss how we'd like to spend our golden years like the human viewers of the Game Station, how Jesse is kindred spirits with Jackie Tyler, and how he doesn't get the appeal of Jack Harkness. Our listeners ask us to cast the Doctor into our favorite reality shows and we discuss how our favorite Big Brother contestants would do on this futuristic version. Plus, stay for the post-credits Zoog Disney tangent! Join us as we travel Across the Whoniverse!

S01E11"Boom Town" w/ Shannon Cay & Merrilee O'Neil

Time Lords! This week, we kidnapped our favorite witchy Time Lord Shannon Cay [https://www.shannoncay.com/] and Silly Lil Guy Time Lord Merrilee O'Neil [https://www.instagram.com/fearcodedpod?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3D] from the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective [https://www.glitterjaw.com/] as we visit the Cardiff Rift in 2006.  The Doctor, Rose Tyler, and Captain Jack Harkness make a day-trip to the Cardiff Rift to refuel the Tardis and get brunch with Mickey Smith when they encounter their Slitheen foe from earlier this season, Margaret Blaine. Stranded on Earth, she finds herself in office and building a nuclear power plant in hopes of using it to power her extrapolator and get back home. The Doctor apprehends her and vows to return her to her home planet but Margaret reveals she's been sentenced to death and taking her back would mean killing her.  Doctor Who does My Dinner with Andre as our hosts debate the show's moral dilemma of the Death Penalty and if reformation is possible. Shannon waxes poetically about filming on location, beautiful cinematography and real, unfiltered faces. Plus, the gang calls out Mickey's love-bombing of Rose Tyler and toxic boyfriend culture of the 2000s, and our Time Lords build themselves a Tardis team.  Follow Merrilee * Fear Coded  [https://www.glitterjaw.com/fear-coded] * Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/fearcodedpod?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] * Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/fearcodedpod.bsky.social] Follow Shannon Cay * Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/shannoncay?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] * Website [https://www.shannoncay.com/] * Checkout Shannon Cay's work at Carbon Trace Productions [https://carbontrace.net/]!

S01E09-10 "The Empty Child" & "The Doctor Dances" w/ Catrina Parker & Brian Richards

Time Lords! This week, we find ourselves in deep Whonanigans with returning companion Brian Richards [https://www.instagram.com/hellresidentny?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] and new companion Catrina Parker [https://www.instagram.com/catrinatparker?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] as we go back in time to the London Blitz.  Just this once - everybody lives! The Doctor and Rose are tracking a cylinder that crashes into London during the Blitz. The two separate and Rose meets the charming Time Agent Captain Jack Harkness, who may or may not be responsible for this cylinder. Meanwhile, the Doctor finds a group of homeless children and their caregiver Nancy who protects them from an "empty" child in a gas mask. He learns the child is spreading a zombie-like plague throughout wartime London and Captain Jack might be responsible for it.  Catrina recounts Christopher Eccleston shouting "Go to your room!" to an Empty Child cosplayer at Chicago Tardis, and Chels workshops their Pting and Dancing' Butcher cosplay. We praise the casual acceptance and portrayal of queerness in 2005 through Captain Jack and Brian encourages fans to explore AO3 and asks us the hard-hitting journalism question "Which Doctor would you want to dance with?"  Join us as we travel Across the Whoniverse!  Email us with questions or comments at AcrossTheWhoniversePod@gmail.com Follow Brian * Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/hellresidentny.blacksky.app] * Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/hellresidentny?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] * Read Brian's Work [https://brianlastnamerichards.contently.com/] * The Q Division: A View to a Kill  [https://qdivisionpod.libsyn.com/017-a-view-to-a-kill-1985-with-brian-richards] Follow Catrina * Quirky Pop Podcast [https://www.instagram.com/quirkypoppodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] * Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/catrinatparker?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] * BlueSky [https://bsky.app/profile/catrinatparker.bsky.social] Chels on The Mixed Reviews: Julie Andrews [https://themixedreviews.libsyn.com/172-julie-andrews-with-guest-chels-eichholz] Paige on Female Gaze: The Film Club: Forbidden Fruits [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1638073/episodes/19094730] Across the Whoniverse * IG [https://www.instagram.com/acrossthewhoniverse?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] * Tumblr [https://acrossthewhoniversepod.tumblr.com/] * BlueSky [https://bsky.app/profile/acrosswhoniverse.bsky.social] Paige * Shhh, My Stories Are On!

S01E08 "Father's Day" w/ Sharai Bohannon & Gavin Mevius

Time Lords! This week, we kidnap returning companions Gavin Mevius [https://www.instagram.com/gavinmev?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] of The Mixed Reviews [https://themixedreviews.libsyn.com/] and The Q Division [https://qdivisionpod.libsyn.com/] podcasts and scream queen writer and podcaster Sharai Bohannon [https://bsky.app/profile/sharai.bsky.social] as we travel back in time to the day Pete Tyler died.  Rose asks the Doctor if they can go back in time to see her dad Pete Tyler, and after attending her parents wedding, she requests to see him on the day he died so he isn't alone when he passes away. Things go awry when Rose messes with the laws of time and saves him from his death, unleashing supernatural Reapers into the timeline.  We discuss if Rose or the Doctor is at fault for saving a person who shouldn't be alive and the concept of fixed points in time. Our Tardis Team also breakdown why the scariest things should be left to our imagination and the importance of "filler episodes", aka, "world-building episodes". Plus, Chels cries as we see Pete Tyler go from hustling loser to World's Best Dad and Sharai is ready to reboot Secret Diary of a Call Girl for Billie Piper.  Join us as we travel Across the Whoniverse!

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

Time Lords! This week, returning companion Merrilee O'Neil [https://www.instagram.com/fearcodedpod?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3D] from the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective [https://www.glitterjaw.com/] has helped us kidnap new companion Brian Richards [https://www.instagram.com/hellresidentny?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] 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?  Join us as we travel Across the Whoniverse!
