noreply@blogger.com (The Happiness Patrol) — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:05:00 +0000

Greetings fellow Whovians! This week on The Happiness Patrol we are proud to introduce our newest member, Mr. Chas M. Chas is a longtime fan of all things WHO and we here at The Happiness Patrol couldn't be...well, HAPPIER!

Episode 107: Welcome to the Snogbox

noreply@blogger.com (The Happiness Patrol) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 02:58:00 +0000

Changes, changes...seems to be the only thing constant these days and we at The Happiness Patrol are not immune.
Our very own Dale Who has decided to leave the podcast to pursue other interests. Dale has been a huge part of the success of the podcast and will be sorely missed. Those of you who have been regular listeners have come to look forward to his witty comments and piss-takes on everything from "Doctor Who Fans," "Ukulele Music," and "Uncle Lew's Singing" episode after episode. But it's all in good fun...because I have never met a bigger advocate for the program itself. Time and time again, he has been the champion of Doctor Who.
So this week we say a fond farewell to our cohort from across the pond AND Lewis, Nancy, and Michelle discuss The Rings of Akhaten all on this week's

noreply@blogger.com (The Happiness Patrol) — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 03:06:00 +0000

The bells! THE BELLS! They toll for you and me. Wasn't the TARDIS just beautiful in this one? We thought so...and not just the TARDIS...everyone was smashing in The Bells Of Saint John.

Joining Lewis, Nancy, and Michelle this week are our new correspondents, Elanor M.J. from Australia and our new Los Angeles reporter, Tristan E. We are looking forward to many fun reports from them IN THE FUTURE!

But now, sit back and relax because THE FUTURE IS NOW on this week's Happiness Patrol

Episode 104: The Simply Lovely June Hudson

noreply@blogger.com (The Happiness Patrol) — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 02:29:00 +0000

Some people you meet in life are just the 'real thing'. Genuine true souls who are simply lovely.

The Happiness Patrol was lucky to meet not just one, but a few such people at Gallifrey One Convention this year.

June Hudson is the designer of the now iconic Season 18 scarf worn by Tom Baker during his tenure as the Doctor. Not only did she dress a Time Lord but her muse was a Time Lady as you will hear as we sit down with her for a chat on this week's Happiness Patrol.

noreply@blogger.com (The Happiness Patrol) — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 00:59:00 +0000

Wow. Gallifrey One 2013 may be over but is FAR from forgotten! This year saw 3600 Whovians converge on the LAX Marriott in L.A. Some as from as far as Australia...some as close by as Orange County!

The Happiness Patrol did not miss this party! Nancy A, Michelle H and Lewis B made the trek to be with our PEOPLE. (the WE) We were joined by fellow podcaster and all-around super cool chick: Terry Lightfoot of The Dirty Whoers Podcast!

Many photos were taken (see our FB page) and many hours of audio were made.

Please sit back and enjoy our first offering from Gally One 2013.

Episode 98: It's About Time

noreply@blogger.com (The Happiness Patrol) — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 01:50:00 +0000

Well, it's about time. About TIME that is for us to have to say farewell to one of the most successful crews the TARDIS has ever know. It's always hard to say goodbye, and even harder to write a farewell episode and make it as meaningful as this.

We here at The Happiness Patrol have enjoyed most of our time shared with The Ponds...there were some ups and downs, that's for sure, but in the end, I think we may just miss them. Only Time Will Tell, and it's about time...

Lela has been away for awhile because of school, work, and the things that keep an average college age girl busy...LIKE GETTING READY TO GO TO LONDON FOR THE SUMMER!

But we're not jealous, oh no...we are all happy for her. We get to live vicariously thru her adventures!

So relax with Dale, Nancy, Lewis and Lela as we discuss Lela's trip to the UK, Doctor Who News, and our 'Pick-Of-The-Week'.
