Traveling the Vortex

Traveling The Vortex is the brainchild of life long Doctor Who fan Glenn Bartlett, who invited friend Shaun Collins along for the ride. The premise was simple: What if these two friends could introduce a third to the Doctor for the first time, and document those experiences via a podcast, allowing the rest of fandom a chance to view their beloved WHO through a fresh set of eyes? The two quickly set out to find an unwitting victim for their mad experiment, not unlike Dr. Frankenstein and Igor trolling the cemeteries for fresh meat.

They found Keith Miles, sci-fi fan, friend and time travel nut, who had more than a passing interest in Doctor Who, but had never watched. Fiendishly laughing, they strapped the “Clockwork Orange” headgear on the newbie, and subjected him to Matt Smith.

For more than 400 episodes, they “travel the vortex” making different stops with different Doctors, frequently tangenting across the rest of fandom along the way.
