Join James and Phil for a brand spanking new edition of The Doctor Who Podcast!

Episode 312 sees the beginning of a spring clean of the Campervan (in October) – the first and most obvious change is our new coverart. Isn’t it brilliant?! It’s designed by the one and only DWP artist-in-residence, Dave – check out his feed for all the other non-DWP stuff on which he sprinkles his magic.

Also – we introduce to you, Desert Island Who! A new feature that is nothing more than a regular slot that allows us to discuss Classic Who, New Who, Big Finish Adventures and Who books. All tied up and introduced by a witty little ditty composed by none other than former DWP host, Leeson Fischer! It’s another earworm to rival the theme from Nine Lives – which returns in next month’s DWP.

What with nerdy observational ramblings about Fury from the Deep and Out of Time – the latest multi-Doctor audio from Big Finish, what is there not to love about this episode of your favourite Doctor Who podcast?!

As always, get in touch with the Campervan Crew by emailing feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com, tweeting us on Twitter or join our community on Facebook. Enjoy the show.

The campervan is back! After nearly six months, the DWP returns with James and Phil at the helm. What do they cover? Well, it’s probably easier to ask what don’t they cover?! After being held back by a life-changing global pandemic, nothing stops James waxing lyrical for over an hour, almost without drawing a single breath – although to his credit, Phil does try!

Series 12 six-months on, Christopher Eccleston’s return to role with Big Finish, Jon Culshaw as the Brigadier, Tweetalongs, Doctor Who lockdown quizzes, Missing Episodes and those that hunt for them, the Special Edition of the Power of the Daleks animation and Fury from the Deep are just some of the topics discussed!

So find an armchair – or a corner in your favourite COVID-safe public house – and tune in!

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #295 – The Pilot, The Juggernauts and cosplay

Welcome to Episode 295 of The Doctor Who Podcast!

Join the team as they geekout over the latest Who News, talk about how to deal with being self-conscious when dressed as The War Doctor in a coffee shop, talk Daleks versus Mechanoids in a review of Big Finish‘s The Juggernauts and re-visit Bill Pott’s introduction in a retrospective of Season 10’s The Pilot – the opening episode of Peter Capaldi’s final series as The Doctor

Several of our wonderful listeners have spotted that our Series 2 episodes are little longer (in the case of Episode 294, a *lot* longer!) than they were back in the olden days. The move to a monthly release schedule has allowed us to record more segments and produce longer episodes.

Not every episode of the DWP will use the multi-segment/multi-host format of #293 to #295 – we will mix it up a little occasionally to keep you (and us) on our collective toes! However, including the “contents” of each Episode in the show notes will allow you to locate/skip to or over a specific segment if you choose. We are looking at introducing chapter markers in future episodes, but in the meantime here is a list of segments in this episode:

00:00 to 16:35 Introduction and news (James, Phil and Ian)
16:35 to 32:05 Big Finish: The Juggernauts review (Drew and Michele)
32:10 to 58:17 Cosplay: what, why, how and does it cost loads? (Phil, Stephen and Drew)
58:17 to 01:14:37 Featured Episode review – The Pilot (James, Phil and Ian)
1:15:12 Outro (James, Phil and Ian)
1:18:48 VAM!!
