Debating Doctor Who
We're back—and it's about time! Doctor Who reviewer at The A.V. Club and generally incorrigible fan Alasdair Wilkins is joined by new cohost and fellow A.V. Club contributor Allison Shoemaker to talk all things Doctor Who. Listen along as your new podcasting team prove it's still possible to have fun debating Doctor Who, even after the departure of original cohost Caroline Siede!
Our favorite podcast!

We love this podcast! We've long made reading the AV Club review of a Doctor Who episode our first stop after the episode itself, and we really enjoy getting to hear even more analysis from these amazing people! Alasdair's encyclopedic of knowledge of Classic Who provides excellent depth to the discussions, and all three hosts are thoughtful fans who comb through the show with great love to celebrate its successes and unflinchingly examine its stumbles. We also enjoy the unfailingly friendly and respectful tone of the discussions, since it's especially discouraging when passionate fans of a show as optimistic as "Doctor Who" become vitriolic over disagreements.
This is the only DW podcast you need

And I've listened to a lot of them. Nobody gets into the details likes these guys but they are easy-going debaters. And here's something refreshing; they actually let each other speak and fully finish their thoughts before responding. Cordial conversation. Brilliant! They're super smart and witty media reviewers and they appreciate the fans. It's also a well-produced show. Looking forward to some new opening music! (hint, hint).
Love the doctor who with David tenant

This podcast is ok but you guys were a bit too nit picky with the tenth doctor and also there is nothing wrong with his doctor being the romantic doctor. So anyway ten will always be the best doctor true fact. And also David tenant is one of the best actors plus he is hot:)
Meh, I’m assuming there’s a better Dr show

I’ve got to be honest, this show wasn’t what I expected it to be, first off, the girl host (Allison I think) I don’t think is an actual fan of the show, it’s almost like someone told her to binge watch this series then tell us what you think. she also doesn’t seem to get the premise, she seems to miss the point a lot in a lot of the basic idea of Dr Who. The guy is alright but seems to curb what he really thinks trying to not offend his co-host. Although I will say he seems to at least be a fan. If he was smart, he’d ditch his cohost and restart this show
