Doctor Who podcaster, LEGO person, hockey fan. Bounder.
Just arrived: “Image in the Mind”, a 1987 book about CBC Radio drama in the 1940s and 1950s. The author, Alberta-born Alice Frick, later worked for the BBC script department and was instrumental in the very early development of Doctor Who (as covered in Paul Hayes’ excellent “Pull To Open”).

Happy and proud to be part of the All Caps Rachel origin story.
The short version is I met @legopolis.bsky.social at the Doctor Who Gallifrey One fan convention, we became fast friends over hockey, eventually started a podcast (RIP Hockey Feels) which got me recruited to host @lockedonflyers.bsky.social. The rest is wibbly wobbly timey wimey.

It was 62 years ago #OnThisDay in 1963 that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Here's a piece I wrote for the History of the BBC website a couple of years ago about how the BBC covered the news.
I'm quite pleased with this one...

Yesterday was the online review and final mix of our 2025 cut of “The Sea Devils”. 🌊 😈 Pictured ⬇️ at the mix with @markayresrws.bsky.social, Russell T Davies, and our brilliant post-production producer Ceres Doyle – and ⬇️ in the actual TARDIS (!!) with Mark and Mark’s son Sam.

I stayed up until 3am to watch my first ever full day of test match cricket, and Day 1 of The Ashes was worth it. Let’s play every test match in Perth, the time zones work perfectly for western Canada.

This has to be the quietest buildup to a Doctor Who Day celebration in recent memory. Nothing major imminent on the horizon for the weekend. Now that I’ve posted this, that will change, of course.

Tomorrow, the Auditor General will release his report into the UCP's Dynalife fiasco.
They're hoping to flood the zone this week with citizenship markers and anti-trans legislation.
Keep your focus on the targets.
And the broader pattern.
The UCP is shifting Alberta away from liberal democracy.

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.
But not impossible.

Let’s be clear on this: Danielle Smith is ripping up the Charter of Rights & Freedoms to take away rights from the most vulnerable people in Alberta. And she’s doing it to protect herself from the militant wing of her own party, nothing more. Hope it’s all she’s ever remembered for in the long run

This is what's at stake.
The UCP is not only dodging its responsibility to explain how Bill 9 is in any way proportionate or justifiable in a free and democratic society.
They are putting children at far greater risk of suicide.

Radio Free Skaro #1041 – Staircase to Heaven
Download MP3 The War Between the Land and the Sea is premiering Sunday, December 7! While that throws a wrench in our usually stable release plans, we're certain we can all cope through the first three weeks of December. In other news, the Three Who Rule calm the waters on missing episode rumblings, a follow-up on Tubi disintegrating Classic Doctor Who from its listings, Gallifrey One news, more staircase intrigues, and the Pondcast, a new podcast featuring none other than Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill reminiscing about their time on Doctor Who!
