Podcasting legend and L.I. Who showrunner Ken Deep joins us this month to discuss how his lifelong love of a show has grown from fan clubs to podcasts to convention hosting.  Ken talks about discovering Doctor Who, riding his bike across town to the "skyscraper of Doctor Who Towers", the joys of running a Doctor Who convention, and how a randomly recorded episode at the end of a dubbed Doctor Who tape led him straight into another fandom.

That fandom would be Ken's Pick of the Month - the BBC renegade sci-fi classic, Blake's 7!  Hear us discuss why this is one of Ken's favorite all-time shows, how very closely related it is to Doctor Who, how influential the show was to other sci-fi phenomena that came afterwards, and how it still holds up over 40 years later.  Was this the Torchwood of its time?  And to exactly which Star Trek episode does Ken compare the entire series?

Find out more about L.I Who 2023 at longislanddoctorwho.com for guests, hotel information, and tickets.  That's August 18-20, 2023 at Holiday Inn Long Island.  Who & Company will also be there!  Come say hello!

That's right!  For two months in a row, this month's guest is joining us again.  He just won't leave!  All kidding aside, James Rockliffe of THE Doctor Who Podcast is with us to discuss his beginnings of Doctor Who fandom, how he got the podcasting bug, and why The Web Planet is still horrible!

Then James brings along his Pick of the Month, the monumental British comedy classic, Dad's Army!  We talk with James about his lifelong fandom with the show, meeting some of his classic heroes, and even starting a podcast about Dad's Army.

Thanks for listening!

Our guest this month is writer, producer, and director Chris Chapman!  Chris has directed many of the documentaries and special features in the Doctor Who DVD & Blu-Ray ranges and has also written stories for Big Finish.  Chris tells us how he got involved in directing, how he started writing for Big Finish, and what he thought of the new Doctor Who special, The Power of the Doctor.

Then Chris brings us his Pick of the Month, the long-running story of battling robots that spans 38 years of toys, comics, movies, and multiple TV series, Transformers!  Find out how we all discovered this franchise, its massive impact on the toy industry, and why it's survived for so many years.

Our guest this month is veteran Reality Bomb host and all-around great Canadian, Graeme Burk!  Graeme joins us to discuss his podcasting career, how Pyramids of Mars can be comforting AND exciting, and having lunch with Philip Hinchcliffe.

Then Graeme brings us his Pick of the Month, the CBS musical powerhouse sitcom, WKRP In Cincinnati!  We talk about its enduring appeal, the politics of music copyright laws, and how this icon of television sitcoms has stood the test of time.

We're back!  Thanks for sticking with us and to show you our gratitude, we have a fantastic episode this month - none other than the Senior Producer at Big Finish, David Richardson!  David joins us to discuss his beginnings as a freelance writer for Doctor Who Magazine among other publications, his 15 years and counting at Big Finish, and how a project goes from a great idea to a finished product.

Then David brings us his Pick of the Month, the incredibly popular award-winning NBC family drama, This Is Us.  We talk about what kept him glued to this show for 6 seasons, the differing popularity in the UK, and how if any show could change the world, this one might be it.

Hey everybody!  We just wanted to send a quick update to say that we haven't forgotten you.  Lots of family things and schoolwork to handle!  But we are coming back at the end of the month with a brand new episode!  Thanks for hanging with us!

One of the co-hosts of THE Doctor Who Podcast joins us this month  - it's Ian Dudley!  We discuss his podcast beginnings and how he discovered Doctor Who.

Then Ian brings along his Pick of the Month, the 1998 vampire crime drama, Ultraviolet!  We talk about how this particular series treats vampirism scientifically, whether or not it would thrive as a reboot, and a little known actor called Idris Elba.

But before we get to Ian, Brent sits down with actress, writer, & director Jane Slavin to chat about her time on Ultraviolet and her recent stint as Anya Kingdom in Big Finish's Dalek Universe!

AND stay tuned after the credits for Jane Slavin's story about driving the BMW Z3.
