We are up to one of Doctor Who's all-time greats -- The Invasion, Number 19 on Jason's recent Top 60 list for the 60th anniversary. Rejoining me after a too-long hiatus is Pete Lambert (@Prof_Quiteamess). And joining us for her first guest reading on Doctor Who Literature is Lucy McCaul (@LucyMcCaul).

Interested in The Golden Land? A trailer from the theatrical staging in NYC a few years back is here.

This past week Jason moderated the Trap One recap of The Giggle.

Please welcome back to the show Mr. Si Hart (@Si_Hart) as we travel back into antiquity and explore The Myth Makers. But first, in a conversation recorded two days before the premiere of The Giggle, we predict what might happen in Doctor Who's latest episode. Spoiler alert, one of us is very, very right, and the other one of us (me) is very, very wrong.

Check out Si's new solo podcast, The Library of Impossible Things.

And joining me to break down The Giggle seconds after it ended, please welcome back my teen daughter Callie, who has lots of Thoughts about Fourteen and Donna, and all our other Who pals.

Last week I was back on Trap One to discuss Wild Blue Yonder.

After taking a month to observe Doctor Who's 60th anniversary with a wide range of guest interviews, we're back -- like RTD back with David Tennant and Catherine Tate to ring in the TV show's newest era -- to look at the Target novelizations, picking up with the July 1985 paperback release of The Mind of Evil.

Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker), who brings so much behind-the-scenes value to this show, joins me on the air to discuss Mind. And some history facts about The Tyburn Tree.

This interview was also recorded on Halloween, so join us as we discuss our favorite scary movies.

But how is Jim with his Doctor Who quotations? The answer might surprise you...

Happy Doctor Who Day, everybody! Except this episode is not narrated by Paul McGann.

My first guest this week is a great one, Mr. Paul Hayes (@the_questmaster), covering his new non-fiction volume Pull to Open, available from Ten Acre Films, publisher of so much excellent Doctor Who and other BBC-related volumes.

You can find Paul's blog here.

So soon after discussing the making of Doctor Who's very first serial, I'm then joined by longtime friends of the show Jan Fennick, and Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker), as we discuss The Star Beast, the newest DW episode, released on the 60th anniversary plus two days.

As we continue on with our monthlong celebration of Doctor Who's 60th anniversary, please give a warm welcome to Shaun Lyon (@shaunlyon), the Program Director and programming head at the annual Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles each February. Shaun and I will be presenting our "60 for 60" lists -- our personal top 60 Who TV stories from the past 60 years.

A supercut of Kevin Stoney saying "Packer" in "The Invasion" does actually exist, not discovered in time for us to seek out permission to include the audio here, but please give a listen!

We continue on with our 60th anniversary month hiatus from our weekly review of the Doctor Who Target novelizations, with recordings of two interviews that Jason conducted at L.I. Who 2023 this past August, with two Doctor Who novelists, Gary Russell (@twilightstreets) and Mickey Lewis. Two great writers and two great guys. We hope you enjoy.

My guest this week has already given me dozens of hours of enjoyment as a science fiction and mystery writer. Please welcome Adam Christopher (@ghostfinder) to the show. Adam and I discussed many topics, starting with his Doctor Who fandom in New Zealand in the 1980s, and moving on to his wide-ranging professional career.

The infamous 1977 blackout can be heard on this newly-unearthed Mets radio broadcast, which includes the blackout striking in the 6th inning, and the belated resumption of the game two months later.

During the recording, Adam and I enthuse about the Bowery Boys Podcast, which you can find here.

In writing his Stranger Things novel, Adam found New York Mets knowledge on Faith and Fear in Flushing, which it won't surprise you to learn, Jason has already been following for years.

Jason's latest Trap One episode is here. Thanks to fellow Doctor Who podcasters Brendan (@brandybongos) and Mark (@QuarkMcMalus) for their entertaining joint appearance this week.

Andrew Smith (@Andr3wSmith) rejoins the show this week to discuss the 1984 TV story The Awakening and its 1985 novelization. Jason and Andrew are coming from very different places with regard to the story, but are more than happy to meet in the middle... and each brings a diabolical game for the other to play.

Shannon Patrick Sullivan's A Brief History of Time (Travel) brings us some data on the authorship of The Awakening.

After a run of pre-recorded episodes, Jason is back with a (somewhat) live episode full of current events, Doctor Who news, and tons of feelings.

Ross Aitken (@traitken) from Gallifrey's Most Wanted is our guest this week. The conversation is fast and furious and might not have much to do with Marco Polo, but it's typically intense and wide-ranging.

Please consider ordering in Outside In Regenerates from ATB Publishing. Jason will have an essay in the forthcoming volume.

More information on the late lamented Waldenbooks Otherworlds Club.

This episode features opening and closing titles from the classic U.S. TV Western Have Gun Will Travel, the radio version of which you can find on your Old Time Radio player of choice, or here.

A perennial consensus choice for one of the Greatest Of All Time Doctor Who episodes, The Caves of Androzani features an intense script by Robert Holmes, one of Peter Davison's most well-rounded and Doctor-ish performances, groundbreaking direction by Graeme Harper, Roger Limb's best-ever score, and... well, so much else to praise.

My guest this week is truly one of the foremost experts on all things Androzani. It's Paul Scoones (@Paul_Scoones), author of the most recent DVD production notes on the story. Always a great time talking to Paul, and he was game enough to try out our newest game...

The news this week is provided by Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker)!
