NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 343: "Lucky Day" Is Up!

 
"You have to be invited into my TARDIS, Conrad, to be special. But you...you're special for all the wrong reasons. You see, I am fighting a battle on behalf of everyday people who just wanna get through their day and feel safe and warm and fed. And then along comes this noise. All day long, this relentless noise! Cowards like you weaponizing lies, taking people's insecurity and fear and making it currency. You are exhausting. You stamp on the truth, choke our bandwidth and shred our patience because the only strategy you have is to wear us down. But the thing is, Conrad, I have energy to burn and all the time in the universe."
-- The Fifteenth Doctor to Conrad Clark, Doctor Who: "Lucky Day"

Hello again, everyone! My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back for another new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, we're joined by special guest Dave Proctor as we discuss "Lucky Day", the fourth episode from Doctor Who Series 15, featuring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, Varada Sethu as Belinda Chandra, the return of Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday, and the first appearance of Jonah Hauer-King as Conrad Clark!

In this episode, Jesse, Dave and I discuss things like Dave Proctor returning for the first time since October 2023, Dave visiting the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff, Jesse wanting Bruce Springsteen's song "Lucky Day" used in the episode, Dave's thoughts on the season so far, the Fifteenth Doctor being a very emotional Doctor, Paul Jerricho as The Castellan, Ruby needing to join Graham's companion support group, Russell T Davies wanting to discuss the spread of toxic online hatred, the Shreek being based on writer Pete McTighe's fear of dog-like creatures, the Shreek being mentioned in the 2024 Doctor Who novel Caged by Una McCormack, the episodes that Conrad referred to about UNIT, Ruby deciding to go on Conrad's podcast to discuss the Doctor, the return of Ruby's family, how Conrad was able to fool Ruby and the general public about his real agenda, how Dave started listening to Next Stop Everywhere, the episode proving that you should never trust a podcaster, Conrad punking UNIT and revealing to Ruby what a horrible person he really is, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart deciding to sic the Shreek on Conrad, wishing Conrad was beaten up with his own severed arm, Conrad's big mistake of insulting Kate's father, the Doctor's great speech calling out Conrad and people who spread lies and hatred online for money, wondering if Conrad is the one who encouraged the Doctor to look up his future companion Belinda Chandra in "The Robot Revolution", Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Thunderbolts, my theory why Mrs. Flood recruited Conrad Clark, our favorite quotes of the episode, new listener feedback from Holly Mac and Sandi from Oregon, giving credit to Dave for picking "Lucky Day" to discuss without knowing what it was about, and more!
