Cloister Bell: A Doctor Who Podcast celebrates the series' past, present, and future. Hosts Rob and Liam are two Doctor Who fanatics from Newcastle, England. Over the years, they have immersed themselves in this fictional universe. They've watched the show, read the additional novels, and listened to the radio dramas.

With all their knowledge, Rob and Liam are very qualified to construct plot timelines. The hosts have a comprehensive understanding of the characters and their motivations. They also know a great deal of details about the production and what happened behind the cameras. So it only made sense for the duo to start a podcast to share this with other Who fans who can't get enough of the series.

The Cloister Bell podcast aired its first episode in 2018. It was a historic moment in the BBC show's run, as Doctor Who introduced the first female Doctor. Rob and Liam used the opportunity to watch and review each new episode. They wanted to see if Jodie Whittaker lived up to the expectations and how the story would develop.

The first few podcast episodes follow the show in chronological order. Yet once Whittaker's first season ended, Rob and Liam expanded their scope. The pair began discussing important episodes in the franchise, like "The Five Doctors" from 1983. They explored the audio plays that Big Finish released on cassette starting in 1999. They even reviewed Scratchman, the 2019 novel that Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor, wrote.

Because the TV show has been around since 1963, there's always more to discuss and discover. For instance, Rob and Liam go back to Old Who to reveal the genesis of the Daleks and their backstory. In another episode, they talk about the first episode of New Who, "Rose," and its influence on pop culture at the time. Between conversations about the show, the hosts also talk about Torchwood, Star Wars, and other geeky interests.

Cloister Bell: A Doctor Who Podcast is a place for fans to share their passion.
