Gimme That Star Trek Ep.11: Star Trek vs. Doctor Who

Happy 4th of July! To celebrate, the Fire & Water Network has arranged a study in imperialism, as Canadian Siskoid and American Cory Drew compare and contrast their two favorite shows, Star Trek and Doctor Who! Is each a product of its own specific empire? They go in deep, discussing the shows' attitudes towards authority, individualism, professionalism, interventionism, and even the controversial chair agenda! Fireworks incoming!

Funny that you mention Rasmussen in the alt-text. I received a note this morning that Matt Frewer will be the headline guest at a local convention in February!
