Podcast appearances and mentions of joy piedmont

The Doctor divides his attention between saving the world and helping Ruby learn about her past (thank you, VHS tapes), while Deb, Erika, Kat, and Tansy divide their attention between discussing Sutekh, thoughts on the Time Window, and the positive changes being made at U.N.I.T.    As mentioned in the episode:  - Joy Piedmont talks to Chris Chibnall on Reality Bomb 106A. - It's never Susan (except for in Warren's music video) We realize there's still another part to be aired, so anything can change, but what were your thoughts on "The Legend of Ruby Sunday?" Drop us a message on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, or let us know in the comments! ^K P.S. Can you solve this anagram? "I invest lottery"

The book is available from in paperback, hardback and epub formats from https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/adventures-across-space-and-time-9781350288379/ (This episode's guest Doctor Who theme: Jazz-Funk Cover by Andrew Allen)

This episode we are joined by Joy Piedmont of multiple other Doctor Who podcasts (such as Reality Bomb and Five Years Rapid) to discuss K9 Episode 8, "Jaws of Orthrus", originally broadcast on 1 March 2010. "Jaws of Orthrus" was written by "Lindsay James" (a pseudonym for writer Keith Shaw) and directed by James Bogle.

On the target audience for K9 being (supposedly) 11-15 year olds - ⁠"K9: Who's a good dog?"⁠, Stewart & Wall Entertainment, archived from the original on 12 August 2014.

Our very own Joy Piedmont got to speak to none other than the most recent showrunner of Doctor Who, Chris Chibnall! Please enjoy this intimate conversation about his entire regime, his writing process, and some insight into some of the decisions he made.

On this special episode of Reality Bomb, Joy Piedmont talks with executive producer and writer Chris Chibnall, who recently concluded his four-year tenure showrunning Doctor Who.

On the one hundred and sixteenth edition of Reality Bomb, we're talking with Dominic G. Martin about the fifteenth Doctor new look: what the constituent elements of the ensemble are, how fashion forward it is, and what wardrobe can expect Ncuti Gatwa to rock in future. Then we have a new edition of "Is This Rumour Hot or Not?" with Lacy Baugher-Milas and KatyBeth Schmid. And co-hosts Graeme Burk and Joy Piedmont catch up on the past three months by playing "Hot Take Roulette". Plus a situation room monitors a potentially important situation in Doctor Who...

What grabs you as a kid listening to songs on the radio may still grab you as an adult... but the nuances often come out after you've had years to process them, all informed by life experience. This was true for Rob and Steely Dan's 1972 debut record Can't Buy a Thrill. It was an album he immersed himself in his twenties during his first flush of CD buying. But as a little kid, the big radio singles sounded weird and even terrifying – and sometimes hilarious – to him. So, what's the real identity of the music beyond what listeners hear in it wherever they are in their lives? It's a big question. Of course, as always, music is weird, with a lot of it splitting rooms and creating friction among otherwise friendly discussions between music fans. Does that play out here among the Deeper Cuts trio? Where do they stand on the Steely Dan divide? Where do musical expectations come into this discussion of how we hear music from one point in our lives to another? And what of this album, specifically? Is it a thrill? Or do the Deeper Cuts Trio not buy it? Not going to click to find out? C'mon. Only a fool would say that (just kidding, please click). The music from every episode this season can be found our Spotify Playlist. Also, don't forget to talk to us on Twitter (@deepercutscast) and to rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts! Special thanks to Alex Kennard for our theme song and Scot Clarke for our logo and ID graphics. This year's "Vox Pops" heard at the start of every episode included Michael Powell (6.1), Joy Piedmont (6.2), Francis Bradley (6.3), Lacy Baugher-Milas (6.4), Jen Burt (6.5) and Jay Wilson (6.6). Deeper Cuts will return. Thanks for listening.

Plus, Joy Piedmont talks about change and Doctor Who, and in a post-apocalyptic world, lonely Doctor Who fans wait for any sort of news.

On the one-hundred-and-first edition of Reality Bomb, we're triaging the plethora of behind-the-scenes speculation as Graeme Burk brings together Lacy Baugher-Milas and KatyBeth Schmid for super-sized version of "Is This Rumour Hot or Not?".

If you're searching for a Significant Other, how important is it that they be into the same things you are? If you're as immersed in Doctor Who fandom as Reality Bomb co-producer Joy Piedmont is, should a potential partner get into Doctor Who as well? The answer is more complicated than you might [...]

This week, Joy Piedmont (http://www.themomentpod.com/guests/joy-piedmont) sits in as host and gives me, your usual host Tom Dickinson (http://www.themomentpod.com/hosts/tom-dickinson), an opportunity to talk about my own moment from 2008's Forest of the Dead. We examine the timey-wimey nature of River's storyline, the Twelfth Doctor's role in a story that was produced years before he ever appeared on-screen, and what it means for the Doctor to be the person who saves people. You can follow Joy on Twitter at @inquiringjoy (http://twitter.com/inquiringjoy), and you can follow me at @NowWeAreAllTom (http://twitter.com/nowwearealltom). Special Guest: Joy Piedmont.

On the sixty-ninth edition of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk speaks to The Guardian's Martin Belam and Bustle's film editor Sage Young about Chris Chibnall's avoidance of publicity and whether or not Doctor Who needs hype (and if so how much) to survive in the modern media landscape. Joy Piedmont brings together Tai Gooden and Kat Climpson to talk about what other monsters from the Russell T Davies era (and more) could come back following the Judoon. And Pauline Serizel of the French YouTube channel Pepperpot Team discusses getting meta, fandom as heroes and a monster (literally) designed by an 10-year-old as Love & Monsters comes to the Gallery of the Underrated.

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is back with another preview of the 2019 edition of the Gallifrey One Convention - today focusing on the Academic Track - titled "Time Lord Timelines: An Academic Symposium"!  We're thrilled to be joined by Joy Piedmont and Paul Booth, who have organized a wide-ranging and interesting collection of topics and speakers. We'll talk to Joy and Paul about how the Symposium came about (this is the 2nd edition), what types of subjects and topics they look for, and how they chose this year's presenters.  We'll then dive deep into the schedule and go over each presentation (including one that John is keenly interested in and had even thought of suggesting himself!) individually to get a bird's-eye view of what can be expected. It's a terrific and interesting conversation with Joy & Paul that really gives the full rundown on what to expect.  Please have a listen! Schedule and description of topics for the Symposium here

OF THE YEAR!  That's right, the annual Gallifrey One Convention, the world's largest (and best) Doctor Who Convention is just around the corner, and MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast will be previewing the convention in full this week!  It's the 30th edition of the con; it's John's 15th and my 13th (and the podcast's 9th!); and it looks to be another corker of a weekend!  We'll talk all about the great guests (Including CATHERINE TATE, PEARL MACKIE, JOHN BARROWMAN, COLIN BAKER, and many more!), the fantastic fan panels (including the 2 John will be on), and of course the many other amazing highlights to come (THIS or THAT, FAN VIDEO HAPPY HOUR, IN DEFENSE OF, the ACADEMIC TRACK, and so much else).   It's our annual deep dive into and through the schedule.  We're super excited for Gally, and we hope to give listeners a taste of what's to come this year!  Also,  John finds out what game, featured in a panel at this year's Gally, that I've NEVER played, which stuns him while i promise to maybe, perhaps, possibly try to participate in one of the other great games.  So, it's chock full of Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey Stuff! We will also be doing 2 more previews of Gally: one with Joy Piedmont and Paul Booth, focused on the "Time Lord Timelines: An Academic Symposium", the Academic Track that they've put together (dropping Thursday); and one with our great friends Kim Rogers and Sage Young of HeadoverFeels.com for next week that'll discuss in detail THIS or THAT, FAN VIDEO HAPPY HOUR, the FanFic panel, the Doctor Who/Musicals crossover panel and more.
