On the one hundred and fifteenth episode of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk talks with Guardian writer Martin Belam about his controversial 2021 article about Doctor Who four years (and a massive series of changes in Doctor, showrunner, studio and co-production partner) later and then examines at the current state of Doctor Who in 2024 and what's ahead. Head Over Feels' co-founders Kim Rogers and Sage Young share a Reality Bomb segment for the first time in years to talk about this year's Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles and how the vibe there has changed with recent developments on the show. And we look to the future of communiting, and it doesn't look good, as Julie Chaston brings Gridlock to the Gallery of the Underrated. Plus we bring back a song from our archives, and Spoiler Cops continues!
On the one hundred and fourteenth episode of Reality Bomb, we're all about all the 2023 specials, all the time, as Graeme Burk talks to Kim Rogers and Max Kaschevsky about Ncuti Gatwa's full debut as the Doctor in the Christmas special The Church on Ruby Road. Sage Young and Sanjay Lago also stop by to discuss the three 60th anniversary specials starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate. And we look back on the past year of rumour-mongering in Doctor Who with Lacy Baugher-Milas and KatyBeth Schmid in a special edition of Is This Rumour Hot or Not? that fact checks the previous year's rumours!

We're continuing our celebration of the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who with the second of our special episodes that asks a simple but important question: "What is an essential element of Doctor Who?"
20 fans answer this question -- some of them from the Reality Bomb archives, most others are new. All of them talk about the diverse elements that makes Doctor Who the amazing program it's been for 60 years. In part two, we have...
On the one hundred and thirteenth edition of Reality Bomb we're celebrating the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who with a special episode that asks one simple but important question: "What is an essential element of Doctor Who?"
Over the next two episodes, we'll have the perspectives of 20 fans on this question, some new, some from the past, as they talk about the diverse elements that makes Doctor Who the amazing program that it is. In the first part, we have:
On the one hundred and twelfth edition of Reality Bomb, we talk to classical musician Elizabeth Reid McQuillan about the new version of the Doctor Who theme and what makes the Doctor Who theme so popular. We chat with Graham Kibble-White, co-author of the new bookazine Adventures in Type and Space, about how the book came together, and how some of the greatest title sequences in Doctor Who's history came together, with exclusive clips of Graham's interviews with the legendary Bernard Lodge and Peter Govey. And we reconvene the Reality Bomb Book Club as Shannon Dohar and Martin Hajovsky discuss Russell T Davies' and Benjamin Cook's behind the scenes look at the making of series four, Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale. Plus: Graeme Burk examines the origins of the oooo-eee-oooos and the dumba-ba-dums that make up the Doctor Who theme to see how it connects with Murray Gold's latest version ... and we discover, the hard way, that there are some things in the world of Doctor Who that are more ridiculous than any comedy sketch we can make.
On the one hundred and eleventh edition of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk talks about the trailer for the 60th anniversary specials -- and the return of David Tennant's Doctor teaming with Catherine Tate's Donna Noble -- with Sage Young and Julie Chaston. Joy Piedmont talks to Reece Connolly and Carrot about their Doctor Who themed cabaret, The Gallifrey Cabaret. And KatyBeth Schmid and Lacy Baugher-Milas are back for another round of Is This Rumour Hot or Not? Plus, we return to the Church of the Holy Trailer for some more worship.

On a special episode of Reality Bomb, we’re continuing our tenth anniversary celebrations with a journey through Doctor Who and its fandom over the past decade with our editorials. We’ve trawled through our archives we're presenting ten editorials from past ten years of Reality Bomb that talk about what enrages, enthralls, excites and enlivens us as Doctor Who fans.
This special collection includes:
A quick note... you may have heard that some fan creators are no longer covering Doctor Who due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, because Doctor Who is on the SAG-AFTRA list of struck work. We fully support the strike and the writers and actors fighting for fair contracts; however, fan podcasts like ours can continue to discuss Doctor Who because we’re not bound by either union’s rules that prevent members from promoting struck work. As fans, there are many ways you can support the strike and the workers. To that end, we'd like to offer a few resources: Donation page for the Entertainment Community Fund
