Joining me this week is Bill Evenson (@BillEvenson) of the Frankenstein Minute Podcast (@FrankenMinute). This was Jason's first Doctor Who cliffhanger; Bill came to the story later, but we're both fond of it, even against conventional wisdom. Naturally the conversation takes several twists and turns. No conversation with Bill fails to reference the 1987 World Champion Minnesota Twins. This episode also features a musical composition by Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker), and includes a few feature, #DoctorWhoOnPluto If you enjoyed this episode, please follow, subscribe, and rate us!

This week we take a break in between the 1981 and 1982 seasons to explore the legacies of two writing titans. Harlan Ellison wrote the 7-page introduction that appeared in most American reprints of Target novelizations, put out by Pinnacle Books. How did that essay come to be commissioned, and why did Harlan write it? We have answers! We're joined by Jason Davis, who edited several of Harlan's collections, and shares his knowledge with us, in an interview recorded live at Gallifrey One in Los Angeles in February 2022. You can find Jason at Humanity Is My Business. We are then rejoined by Philip Hinchcliffe, Doctor Who's producer between 1974 and 1977, and producer for Chris Boucher's first two TV episodes, to discuss the work and legacy of Mr. Boucher, who passed away in December 2022. This interview was recorded in January 2023. And stay tuned for a bonus conversation, also recorded live at Gally, with long-time show contributors David Barsky and Bill Evenson. This conversation is, ah... much less scholarly and stately than the other two. Doctor Who Literature is now a member of the Direction Point Doctor Who podcast network.

Several program notes this week. We're a big hit in France. The fabulous novelization cover by Roy Knipe generates much talk on Twitter. A major change to the show coming next week -- tune in and find out -- -- but before you do that, stick around this week. The always funny and ever-unpredictable Bill Evenson (of The Frankenstein Minute Podcast and Reality Bomb!) is back. We discuss Frankenstein, his Doctor Who humor book (co-written with repeat Doctor Who Literature guest Stacey Smith?), which is the better show: Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, and... occasionally, just very occasionally, we talk about "Doctor Who and the Sontaran Experiment". Bill has a memorably rough time with "20 Questions". Will he finish? Will he be the first person in the history of the show to NOT get the answer? Jason breaks down what CultBox calls his "forensic look" at the text. Who's the better narrator -- Jason, or Jon Culshaw? Links this week: We're thrilled to make CultBox's September podcast roundup. Bill and Stacey Smith? wrote a very funny book. Jason previously interviewed Bill and Stacey about it on Trap One. Jason returns to Trap One to discuss The Celestial Toymaker this week. And Bill can be heard weekly on The Frankenstein Minute. Please e-mail the pod at DrWhoLiterature@gmail.com. You can catch all past episodes at https://anchor.fm/doctorwholit.

When Bill Evenson is in the house, anything can happen on the podcast. Today we discuss The Web of Fear, the TV episodes (four of the six of which were famously rediscovered and released in 2013), and the 1976 Terrance Dicks novelization. But we also discuss Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, Mel Brooks, alcohol, the LAX Marriott and Doctor Who convention dealers' rooms, and... more alcohol. Also, one of us can't tell the difference between Rod Steiger and Roy Staiger, but both of us agree that baseball is no substitute for Doctor Who. Bill is a prodigious talent. You can hear him on just about every episode of Reality Bomb, read him (with co-author, and friend of the program, Stacey Smith?) in Look At The Size of That Thing (never mind the cover art), and hear even more of him as co-host of the Frankenstein Minute podcast. I previously interviewed Bill (and Stacey Smith?) on an episode of Trap One in 2021. This episode features musical excerpts from the incredible vocal talents of Patti LuPone from the US TV series "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", and from the film soundtrack of Fiddler on the Roof. The new documentary Fiddler's Journey to the Big Screen is still playing in Manhattan as this episode releases, and will be touring North America throughout spring 2022. I have no involvement with the film or filmmakers, and its relation to "The Web of Fear" is of course strictly tangential. At best.

On the ninety-fourth edition of Reality Bomb, we're doing a live episode on Zoom where Graeme Burk and Joy Piedmont are joined by panelists Sage Young, KatyBeth Schmid, Max Curtis and Bill Evenson to talk about Chris Chibnall's legacy on Doctor Who. Plus a surprise (perhaps not really) guest brings the 1965 story The Rescue to the Gallery of the Underrated. And the panel plays "Would I Lie 'Bout Doctor Who With You" with special guest Alex Kennard. And Kim Rogers joins us for comedy and listeners Q and A. It's the best way to enjoy the 58th anniversary of Doctor Who!

We took a break from the news last week to revel in Gallifrey One events of the past and to look forward to better times in the future, so this week we catch up with all the news we missed, including several Big Finish releases, new books, But let’s get to the heart of this thing, as Hunter S. Thompson once said, with our commentary for “Revolution of the Daleks” with Verity’s own Deb Stanish! Links: Support Radio Free Skaro on Patreon!

On the eighty-second episode of Reality Bomb, we’ve given over the whole episode to revisit the best of our comedy sketches as selected (mostly) by you, the listener! Join Joy Piedmont and comedy sketch performers Kim Rogers, Bill Evenson and Drew Meyer as they go back through the past seven years of Reality Bomb comedic highlights including "F*ck That Guy", "Watch This Space", "Bruce and Darren in the Logos Operation", "Pam Brandeis - The Whofauldi Brief", "A Message from BBC America", "Doctor Who Feminist Agenda Meeting", "Daleklab 1 - Speculation", "Dylan Devlin: How to Lose Your Shit as Doctor Who Fan" and much more! Plus we offer a new version of "Spoiler Cops! - The Hostage Panel"

On the seventy-ninth edition of Reality Bomb, we decided to cheer ourselves up during the pandemic by doing a live episode of Reality Bomb... over Zoom. Graeme Burk and Joy Piedmont are joined by Kim Rogers, Shannon Dohar, Alex Kennard and Bill Evenson as they talk about the Doctor Who we're watching or experiencing that provides comfort. Bill brings the 1965 Peter Cushing movie Dr. Who and the Daleks to the Gallery of the Underrated. And we play Doctor Who fan version of "Never have I ever..." Plus the return of "F*ck that guy"! We also have a video version of this episode if you want to watch!

On the seventy-fifth edition of Reality Bomb, we're looking back on the past decade's worth of Doctor Who as NPR Books editor Petra Mayer, Den of Geek's Kayti Burt, Jon Arnold and Kat Climpson discuss the best Doctor Who of the 2010s with Graeme Burk. Joy Piedmont looks back on the Doctor Who Christmas specials with our Christmas Questions quiz with Bill Evenson, Kelly Boaz and Adrienne Enderle. And Graeme takes another trip to the Gallery of the Underrated to talk about the Jon Pertwee story the Mutants with emeritus producer Alex Kennard. Plus the return of Spoiler Cops!

On the seventy-second edition of Reality Bomb, we remember to Doctor Who writer, script editor, author and legend Terrance Dicks with a special tribute from Martin Belam, Nick Abadzis, Lisa Gledhill, Jon Arnold, Jason A. Miller and Bill Evenson. YouTuber, fan and Doctor Who Magazine Time Team member Claudia Boleyn uncouples Utopia from the series 3 finale and brings it to the Gallery of the Underrated. And the craze sweeping the fandom is back as Is This Rumour Hot or Not? returns with emeritus producer Alex Kennard and Kim Rogers. All this plus a poem in honour of Terrance Dicks by Chris Fosten, and we blow wide the conspiracy behind what's going on with Doctor Who in Cardiff.

Braving dodgy hotel wifi, swarms of non-Doctor Who nerds, and Fourth of July fireworks displays, The Three Who Rule have a different look this week with Erika Ensign of Verity! and Bill Evenson of Frankenstein Minute joining Steven for a brief recap of CONvergence in Minneapolis! But rest assured, Warren and Chris are back in time for the second half of our Miniscope on workmanlike 1980s Doctor Who director Ron Jones!

On the fifty-fourth edition of Reality Bomb we have a special live episode recorded at the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles with Graeme Burk and Joy Piedmont. We start off by looking to the future of Doctor Who with Sage Young, Tai Gooden and Simon Fraser. In celebrating 30 years of Perivale's finest citizen, we have a quiz about all things Ace with Paul Cornell, Felicity Kuzinitz, Rob Shearman and Rachel Donner. Controversy comes to the Gallery of the Underrated (live in the room!) when the Verity! podcast's Erika Ensign offers The Ribos Operation for consideration. We have a live edition of Listener's Letters adjudicated by Paul Cornell and a bonus quiz with Shannon Dohar and Deb Stanish.

As a further supplement to our eleventh episode, Graeme Burk and Rob Jones welcome back Bill Evenson to talk about all the singles and B-sides that never made it onto an album during the second half of the Beatles' career. The three talk about the singles that caught their fancy, their favourite B-sides, what surprised them and the lasting legacy of "Hey Jude" and "Paperback Writer" and what this well-prepared stew of leftovers say about the latter days of the fab four's work together

On the thirty-seventh episode of Reality Bomb, we've given over the whole episode to revisit the best of our comedy sketches as selected by you, the listener! We go back through the past three years of Reality Bomb to our listen to our comedic highlights including, "How Dare You Steven Moffat!?", "Continuity Complaints Tribunal", Continuity Porn", "The Society for Scientific Accuracy in Doctor Who", "Sh*t Doctor Who Fangirls Say", "Bruce and Darren Stop The TV Movie", "Serial Code" and much, much more! PLUS - A brand new Spoiler Cops movie, "Unconventional Crime", featuring Liz Myles, Bill Evenson, Jeff Elston, Andy Hicks, Chip Sudderth, Kim Rogers, Drew Meyer, Erika Ensign, Deb Stanish, Felicity Brown and special guest Paul Cornell!

In the first month of our year with the Beatles, Graeme Burk and Rob Jones are joined by Bill Evenson to discuss The Beatles debut album Please Please Me. There's a discussion of the Beatles in their earliest form, a conversation about favourite songs and deep cuts and we tackle the question of whether the Beatles' genius can be seen in nascent form even at this point. For extra-credit homework, Graeme, Rob and Bill listen to the Beatles' first single as sidemen for Tony Sheridan's "My Bonnie" for the German market.

The universes are collapsing: Reality Bomb has invaded 2MTL to explore just what happened when the BBC made its much-hyped-on-social-media announcement about the new Doctor Who spinoff, Class. Written by Graeme Burk; performed by Graeme Burk, Chip Sudderth, Bill Evenson and Kim Rogers; lovingly balanced and tweaked by Alex Kennard.

On the fifteenth edition of Reality Bomb we have a super-sized episode featuring a special panel looking at the first four episodes of series eight that includes Lindsey Mayers, David Barsky and Kim Rogers. Also, Gallifrey One's program director Shaun Lyon puts a stake into State of Decay in this month's Gallery of the Underrated and Bill Evenson takes us Into The Dalek. And we check in with the spouses and partners of several Doctor Who fans including Maddie Rodriguez (partner of our co-producer Alex Kennard), Robert Thompson (husband of author Nikki Stafford), Paul Stanish (husband of Verity! co-host Deb Stanish) and Julie Hopkins (wife of host Graeme Burk). Plus we return to listen in on Wisconsin's finest Doctor Who podcast!

On the twelfth edition of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk looks back at 30 years of being a Doctor Who fan with a special documentary about how being a Doctor Who fan has changed over the decades. We also talk with Sam Maggs and Mike Doran about the winners and losers in the Doctor Who Magazine poll and Felicity Kuzinitz sends us on a quest to find The Keys of Marinus in this months Gallery of the Underrated. All this plus comedy from Liz Myles, Bill Evenson, Scot Clarke, Sean Homrig and Laura Gerald... and Alex Kennard finally sings the song he was supposed to have sung last month!

On the eleventh edition of Reality Bomb we have a bootleg tape of Graeme Burk and Alex Kennard at their latest live show recorded at CONsole Room in Minneapolis in May. Featuring an interview with Arnold T Blumberg and Robert Smith? about the new Doctor and a TARDIS trivia quiz with Steven K. Manfred, Kathryn Sullivan, Bill Evenson, and Lars Pearson.  And it's time to do a security check as The Ambassadors of Death is in the Gallery of the Underrated with the AV Club's Christopher Bahn. All this plus special guest Sophie Aldred sits down for an interview and performs in a comedy sketch with Arnold T. Blumberg, Alex Kennard, Laura Gerald and Bill Evenson! NOTE: We really mean it. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the sound quality is about the same as a concert bootleg. 

On this special Christmas edition of Reality Bomb, recorded live at Chicago TARDIS in November, Graeme Burk talks with DWNY's Barnaby Edwards about Christmas and Doctor Who (with a special guest contribution by Tony Lee!). Also on the show, Radio Free Skaro's Steven Schapansky drops by to talk about why Voyage of the Damned is our seasonal addition to the Gallery of the Underrated. And Alex Kennard discusses the emotional significance of the most important sound in Doctor Who: the TARDIS dematerialzation noise! Plus: the music of Quiana of the Sevateem, Serial Code Deathmatch with Steven K. Manfred, Robert Smith? and Steven Schapansky and comedy from Bill Evenson, Robert Smith? and Quiana Howard. It's everything you expect from an episode of Reality Bomb...but live on stage. What could possibly go wrong?

On the sixth edition of Reality Bomb, we're all over the 50th anniversary as Graeme Burk interviews a panel of fans including Jon Arnold, Lori Steuart and Bill Evenson about The Day of the Doctor. We also interview fans Kathleen Schowalter and Sam Maggs about Paul McGann's triumphant return as the eighth Doctor in The Night of the Doctor. Also, Keynon Wallace goes back to 1963 in his assessment of An Adventure in Space and Time and Alex Kennard talks to Doctor Who Video FAQ master Steven K. Manfred about the changes to the Doctor Who DVD range. And Ari Lipsey puts The Trial of a Time Lord episodes 5-8 AKA Mindwarp in the Gallery of the Underrated. All this plus the making of a scene in The Night of the Doctor!
