It's that time of year again, the annual Gallifrey One preview show, and even though only one of our august number is braving the geopolitical winds of Canada-U.S. kerfuffles (Steven, if you're keeping track) that won't stop us from overanalyzing the schedule and pointing out all the highlights! Plus a surfeit of Big Finish releases, a destroyed Dalek dolly along with 1980s Tegan, some musical deep dives, and more!
