Type 40 • A Doctor Who Podcast Episode 157:

The State of 2025 with Ken Deep For Doctor Who Podcast Day 2025

To mark the 20th birthday of Doctor Who podcasting itself, one of the voices of that historic show, Podshock joins regular host Dan Hadley for this long form conversation. Exploring where the Doctor Who series and it's fandom find themselves, in the wake of that ending to yet another Doctor's tenure in the TARDIS...

Ken Deep is a writer, convention organiser and educator who's well known and respected within the Doctor Who community. He's returned to our own podcast for this candid, no holds barred airing of differences! As well as to explore so, so much common ground: that which brings us all together, either behind the mic's or hitting play? Doctor Who. Oh and Doctor Who podcasting itself, of course!

All's far from harmonious, out there in the Whoniverse. With everyone or anyone who knows anything at all, being tight-lipped! No danger of that on this special Doctor Who Podcast Day episode of Type 40: A Doctor Who Podcast. Now entering our 8th year of reviews, previews, interviews, geek outs and deep dives.

Episode 149: The Church On Ruby Road Review

It’s practically impossible pleasing the entirety of Doctor Who fandom, but when Bad Wolf Studios and the BBC confirmed plans for the Doctor Who Christmas Special to return? It came pretty close. Staple of the British TV schedules for over a decade from 2005 onwards and much missed even by the general audience!

On Christmas Day 2023, we were served a steaming hot hour of snow, steeples, goblins and all the trimmings in The Church on Ruby Road written by returning showrunner Russell T Davies. Featuring the first full length adventure of our new Doctor and the debut of the series newest companion, Ruby Sunday.

Now a few months on we bring you a full review of the special: our initial thoughts on Ncuti Gatwa’s incarnation of the Doctor and best guesses as to where things could go from here. Join regular host Dan Hadley with original co-host Kyle Wagner returning to the console room! Alongside the ever-insightful Charlotte Shields for some late Christmas cheer! Timed to coincide with Disney+ repackaging the special internationally to launch the first season of this all-important All New restart. Stream or download Type 40: A Doctor Who Podcast HERE:

Episode 147: With Ian Levine

There’s been a massive amount of public interest surrounding Doctor Who since its debut. Association with it has both made and arguably ended fortunes. There are a select set of people who seem inseparable from it. Generally they’re those you’d think! Many household names and industry darlings.

A tremendously successful man in his chosen fields or Songwriting and Music Production. To fellow fans though, he’s perhaps a polarising yet undoubtedly fascinating person. He joins regular hosts Sarah, Simon and Dan for this extended exclusive new interview. Just as he’s wowing the Whoniverse with a brand-new project, to bring the missing episodes back to life.
