2MTL 111: Remembering Remembrance of the Daleks

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

We interrupt my normal stream of thought to bring you this message: I have a deep and abiding love of "Remembrance of the Daleks."

PLUS: A message from THE Tony Gallichan about a signing event for THE Colin Baker at Waterstone's Lakeside in the U.K. Podcasters will be present, with a sample DVD from the Doctor Who Podcaster's Alliance (including some 2MTL contributions).

Other Podcasts I've Haunted Recently

It's been a while since I mentioned my appearances on other podcasts (some were planned, some not so much!), so here's a rundown.

  • DWO WhoCast: Trevor and I talked about the first three Colin Baker "Lost Stories" for Big Finish in episode 168 and dissected Steven Moffat again — or at least, his second DWM interview — in 169. Coming up in 175 I'll have some interviews recorded at Gallifrey 21, and then we'll see if Trev's had enough of me. (Have you heard that Tom guy? He's awesome.)
  • Radio Free Skaro: We'll not talk (much) about what it took to get there, but the Gallifrey 21 prequel confab of eight podcasters around a lobby table happened in episode 183 (you'll hear me for a nanosecond). RFS also recorded the podcasting panel, which is shared in 186 along with a bonus interview of the IDW comic's creative team Tony Lee and Matthew Dow Smith by Steven and me.
  • Doctor Who: Podshock: Tractor beams drew me across the Gallifrey 21 lobby to a table outside Champions commandeered by the Podshock crew. Thus, I found myself part of their "halftime show" reviewing Gally to that point: episode 185.

    This'll be my last word on "Chicks Dig Time Lords" for a while, but I wanted to take two minutes to explain why I've paid so much attention to this great book and its contributors: it's personal.

    Past interviews include 2MTL 69 (Johanna Mead), 2MTL 72 (Tammy Garrison and Katy Shuttleworth), 2MTL 78 (Tara O'Shea), and 2MTL 105 (Lynne Thomas).

    Many guests arrived very early to Gallifrey One in Los Angeles, myself included. Today's Time Dilation episode of 2MTL is a series of short interviews showing off the diversity of Doctor Who fandom, and exploring why Gallifrey One has become such a popular destination. Guests include TARDIS-builder Tara, Nat from Bridging the Rift, MJ from the LiveJournal Doctor Who roleplaying group, costumer Johanna Mead, comics writer Tony Lee, and a lobby ukelele.
