504: Should Doctor Who move into Fortnite?
It’s podcast time! Christian and James mull over the BBC’s decision not to put Doctor Who in the massive online game Fortnite, and celebrate the extension of Big Finish’s licence to continue producing audios and more.
The most frustrating takeaway from the chat was what increasingly seems like a missed opportunity for a full Doctor Who x Fortnite integration. On paper, it’s a perfect match—a show about infinite possibilities and a game (and much more) that thrives on them.
Yet, the collaboration never materialized.
Whether this was a failure of digital literacy at the BBC or a fundamental misunderstanding of Fortnite’s culture, it really does seem to be a massive oversight, and we go pretty deep into trying to understand how the BBC missed an opportunity to supercharge Doctor Who’s audience.
This week, Christian found the button that enables a video podcast (available exclusively on Patreon) to be shared as an audio podcast AT THE SAME TIME. This significant development means there is less editing required!
PLUS: A new interview from the Terranova Collection has been added to the Kasterborous Archive, with Frazer Hines, Wendy Padbury, and the late Deborah Watling.
Why wait for your next fix of the show?
