Episode 70 - Ken Deep & Blake's 7

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!
