The Official Doctor Who Podcast
The Official Doctor Who Podcast is a podcast series on YouTube connected with Doctor Who, with each episode broadcast following an episode of Doctor Who.
In late 2023, the show was originally hosted by Tyrell Charles, Juno Dawson and Christel Dee with pre-recorded clips from Russell T Davies. Each episode features discussion on the then-latest episode of Doctor Who with each presenter giving their thoughts and opinions on various topics. All discussed are the hosts' theories and predictions, along with behind the scenes information via clips from Russell T Davies.
In 2024 the podcast was revamped, now with Radio 1 presenter Nadia Jae and comedian Shabaz Ali hosting, and featuring exclusives as well as special guests, including Davies himself, as well as lots of easter eggs and fan theories.
Each episode was released simultaneously on various platforms including YouTube, BBC Sounds, Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
