Reality Bomb Episode 059
On the fifty-ninth edition of Reality Bomb, we have a super-sized episode as, one year after they first talked about Jodie Whittaker’s casting in episode 048, Graeme Burk talks to Petra Mayer, Angelique Roche and Sage Young about the new Doctor’s debut at San Diego Comic Con… and the brace of teasers, trailers and news articles all saying very little but meaning so very much. Joy Piedmont talks to vlogger and member of Doctor Who Magazine’s Team Team Claudia Boleyn about the ways Doctor Who could improve representation in a variety of ways as we debut a new segment, Perception Filter: conversations about identity and Doctor Who. And Graeme reunites with Rob Jones and Shannon Dohar — his co-hosts from the music podcast, Deeper Cuts — to talk about Doctor Who’s new composer Segun Akinola and how his work on other shows might connect with his work on series 11. Plus we have coverage from the SDCC press conference, Listeners’ Letters, a song and scenes from a meeting you won’t want to miss!
On the fifty-eighth edition of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk brings together a group of fans who had largely never seen classic Doctor Who until they saw it on Twitch TV including Katherine Climpson, Helena Lane and Evan Tseng to discuss the joys of 1960s Doctor Who alongside classic series writer Andrew Smith. Also, Adrienne Enderle talks about golf ball-munching herbivores, fathers with trowels, Egyptian queens and genocidal maniacs when Dinosaurs on a Spaceship comes to the Gallery of the Underrated. And Joy Piedmont looks into 
On the fifty-seventh edition of Reality Bomb, Joy Piedmont follows up on the recent rejuvenation of the Time Team in Doctor Who Magazine by assembling a focus group of twentysomethings– who have mostly never read DWM before– to see if the magazine connects with them. There’s a slow terror afoot (very round feet too!) when our pal (and co-host the 
On the fifty-sixth edition of Reality Bomb, we have a super-sized episode which looks at the legacy and future of the Target Novels as Graeme Burk talks first with fans Jon Arnold and Christopher Bryant, and then with author Jenny Colgan, who wrote the recent adapation of The Christmas Invasion. We then look back to when Doctor Who broke bad and lost its arms, its legs, it’s everything as Doctor Who writer Andrew Smith brings Nightmare of Eden to the Gallery of the Underrated. And Joy Piedmont talks to Sage Young, Petra Mayer and Michelle Tidmore about Doctor Who actors and the appeal they have that bring fans to conventions and the stage door. Plus Bruce and Darren travel to a parallel dimension to get a shelf with uniform DVD and blu-ray spines…but at what cost?
On the fifty-fifth episode of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk and Joy Piedmont, emboldened by the #WhoAgainstGuns campaign, look around at the other ways Doctor Who fans are doing good. First we go back in time to learn more about the 1985 Fan Aid campaign to raise money for Ethiopian famine relief with then-organizer, now-author and writer Paul Cornell. Back in the present, we talk about the 
Even though we’ve released our special 13-part podcast commentary of The War Games, the Who Against Guns campaign is still running until March 31st. And we have a special giveaway to offer in the lead up for that, and this weekend’s marches across the US.
In just three days, we will be releasing 13 commentaries of 10 episodes of the 1969 Patrick Troughton story The War Games. Over 40 Doctor Who writers, artists, showrunners, podcasters and fans are participating in this project including Classic series producer Philip Hinchcliffe and recent executive producer and writer Steven Moffat.
#WhoAgainstGuns is pleased to announce another bonus commentary to add to the 12 we’ve already announced! Legendary producer of Doctor Who from 1974-1977, Philip Hinchcliffe will take part in a bonus commentary of episode 1 of The War Games!
Last Friday, March 2, around noon eastern time, we issued a challenge: if we doubled the money raised thus far for the #WhoAgainstGuns initiative and raised $7000, former showrunner of Doctor Who, acclaimed writer and co-creator of Sherlock Steven Moffat would take part in a commentary of The War Games episode 10.
