In this long-awaited interview, influential Newfoundland 'Doctor Who' fan-club co-creator Stephen Nolan makes his debut on the podcast named for the iconic magazine he was instrumental in conceptualizing. From his earliest days as a primary columnist and contributor, to overseeing the growth of a fan club that would grow to encompass 60+ members with publishing, advertising, independent film and audio divisions, and an expansive social presence locally, Steve did it all.
Now, nearly a decade from the birth of the podcast that serves as the spiritual successor to his creative efforts, Steve sat down with Shannon for an engaging, in-depth chat that provided the 'Who's Who of Who', detailing the efforts of himself and a cast of characters with love and passion for 'Doctor Who' that became inspired and united in common cause: to spread fun, joy, and good humour in the mutual pursuits of all things 'Whovian'. Whether commiserating with Catherine Tate over lost Lotto earnings, sticking up for Sarah Sutton in the face of bad reviews, or buddying around with John Barrowman, Steve has a plethora of stories, insights, and merchandise to show for a lifetime of devotion to The Doctor.
Part One of Two.
