Across the Whoniverse: A Doctor Who Marathon Podcast

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!

S01E06 "Dalek" w/ Gavin Mevius

Time Lords! This week, we kidnap returning companion 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 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.  Join us as we travel Across the Whoniverse!

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

Time Lords! This week, we kidnapped filmmaker Shannon Cay [https://www.shannoncay.com] 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 [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUeV56TEq37/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==] and the Hilary Duff Don't Say Gay PSA [https://youtu.be/n0l2z-K5OzA?si=pKj-onDXUBVwLS_h].
