With "Doctor Who" poised to celebrate its 60th anniversary this fall, and the show about to get a massive revamp courtesy of returning showrunner Russell T. Davies, returning Doctor David Tennant, and NEW Doctor Ncuti Gatwa, there's no better time -- or space -- for the Great Pop Culture Debate to determine the Best "Doctor Who" Companion!Join Host Eric Rezsnyak and Panelists Bob Erlenback, Kara Austin, and Michael Schwarz as they discuss and debate the Top 16 Companions, based on picks from our public poll.To listen to an extended version of this episode -- including our panelists' picks for the Companions that SHOULD have made the bracket -- become a Patreon supporter of the podcast.Want to play along at home?Download the listener bracket here and see if your picks match up with ours!Love Pop Culture?
