Episode 90 - The Highlanders (with Daniel Knight)

09/17/23 • 76 min

The last Doctor Who novelization published before I became I fan of the TV show, it's The Highlanders. Joining us to discuss is a guest who's visited the Culloden battlefield several times, and who actually purchased his copy of this book in the Highlands, it's Daniel Knight (@DanielKnight1973)!

Musical cues featured in this episode include The British Grenadiers and The Skye Boat Song. One particular gag in the text owes a life debt to Netflix's late lamented "The Who Was? Show".

Episode 89 - Inferno (with David Barsky)

Jason flew all the way to Los Angeles to record this week's interview with David Barsky, one of the producers of this podcast and an important figure in the development of the show. Sitting in Barsky's nearly 3,000-book science fiction and fantasy TV and film library, we enthuse about Inferno, book and TV, and also talk about Peter Cushing, The Twilight Zone, and a host of other related (and, of course, unrelated) topics. Includes an encore presentation of Kate Orman's audio essay from last week's episode on The Aztecs. If you enjoyed this episode, please follow, subscribe, and rate us!

Episode 91 - Frontios (with Si Hart)

It's Frontios week on Doctor Who Literature. This is one of the underrated gems of the Peter Davison story, but Si Hart (@Si_Hart) and I are here to spread the word.

The new 60th Anniversary mini-season trailer dropped on the day that this episode releases. Jason gives his instant reaction to the trailer -- perhaps too instant, as Jason had not seen the concurrent BBC tweet identifying Neil Patrick Harris' character!
