Download it! | Open Player in New Window
Meet Dr. Matt Hills, senior lecturer in media and cultural studies at Cardiff University, whose book Triumph of a Time Lord: Regenerating "Doctor Who" in the Twenty-first Century is hot off the presses. We talk about what it's like to be a fan and academic when the subject of both is filming right down the street — and then we'll come back next time for an extended Time Dilation interview about the relationship between fans and producers, the reinvented format of the show, and what it means to be "cult" and "mainstream" at the same time. You could even win your own copy!
