Doctor Who Target Book Club Podcast

Welcome to our first annual Thanksgiving special, and our very first podcast recorded LIVE at Chicago TARDIS on November 24, 2017! Our three-person panel features Alyson Fitch-Safreed and special guest Trey Korte, discussing John Peel’s mammoth two-volume novelization of THE DALEKS’ MASTERPLAN. And since we had under an hour to do it in, there’s a special after-con report from Alyson and me! (Actually, it’s just us babbling at each other for about thirty minutes to try to stay awake on the drive home, but there are some bits about the con and the books in there, too. Besides, you get to hear us almost die at one point! Always fun, right?) Plus, we have a special guest star recording our bumper – which we intend to use every chance we get from now on! We also have a Patreon page! If you decide to support us in our ongoing effort to discuss all of the DOCTOR WHO novelizations, you'll be able to choose a gift, whether it be a shout-out by our panel, a card signed by all of us, or a BBC Book of your choosing!
