After a chance meeting at the War Machines event at Riverside Studios, Richard speaks with journalist and author Jonn Elledge, a regular on the podcast Paper Cuts.

We have free ranging chat based on the loose theme of Jonn's latest book, A History of The World in 47 Borders, discussing how Jonn became a Doctor Who fan, how Doctor Who deals with the topic of borders and how, like any listener to this podcast, at all times at least 30% of Jonn's brain is dedicated to some aspect of Doctor Who.

Jonn's most recent book, and the one we discuss on the episode is A History of the World in 47 Borders: The Stories Behind the Lines on Our Maps, which you can find here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/History-World-47-Borders-Stories/dp/B0CJVM68BN/.

Jonn also mentions on the podcast Conspiracy: A History of Boll*cks Theories, and How Not to Fall for Them, which he wrote with Tom Phillips: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Conspiracy-History-Boll-Theories-Fall/dp/B09L34BR8G/ and The Compendium of (Not Quite) Everything: All the Facts You Didn't Know You Wanted to Know: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Compendium-Not-Quite-Everything-Wanted/dp/B09BWZNR29/

Richard has another podcast with co-hosts Emily & Nicola, called "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" and it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. Go to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work for more.

The Something Who logo, which features prominently on all our cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who you can find by following this link: https://beagarridoart.weebly.com/, where you can buy prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who.

Although we've provided Amazon links for convenience, Jonn's books can be found at all good bookshops (and a few bad ones).

We're back with more on the aftermath of solar flares.

We've still got Simon Guerrier alongside Giles, Rick and Richard to talk about 11th Doctor story The Beast Below from Series 5, having discussed 4th Doctor story The Ark In Space from Season 12 in the previous episode.

This time Something Who tackles the somewhat complex problem of flares in the 1970s (and next time circa 2010).

So we've recruited the eminent Simon Guerrier to join our ranks once more, alongside regular Giles, returning guest Rick and the ever present Richard to talk about 4th Doctor story The Ark In Space from Season 12, which in the next episode we'll pair with 11th Doctor story The Beast Below from Series 5.
