David Tennant Does A Podcast With...

There are a number of things you can do if you hand back the keys to the Tardis.

If you’re John Pertwee you can go the scarecrow route, with Wurzel Gummidge, whereas if you’re Christopher Eccleston you can pretend you were never Doctor Who in the first place.

David Tennant has been relatively comfortable since leaving his regular starring role on the iconic show 2010, having turned his hand to various projects.

From detective drama Broadchurch to superhero adventure Jessica Jones and even lockdown comedy Staged recently, David has been comfortable showing his range.

Yet he seems most relaxed on his passion project, David Tennant Does A Podcast With…

This is the second series of the show in which David interviews a guest. So far he’s spoken to diverse people such as Gordon Brown, Tina Fey,

John Hamm and Olivia Colman. And in the now-under way second series he has a host of big names.

They include The Handmaid’s Tale’s Elisabeth Moss, Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons, Vera’s Cush Jumbo, musician Tim Minchin, Succession’s Brian Cox, and Dame Judi Dench.

So far the series has clocked up more than

10 million downloads.

Podcasts give him an opportunity to talk more than entertainment, like in the latest episode, with US politician Stacey Abrams.

“One of the terrifyingly effective things that Donald Trump has managed to do when he’s been in public office is undermine the very idea of what truth is really,” said David.

“He’s impossible to shame, so that makes him a particularly difficult person to respond to.”

Expect more musings from the former Time Lord as the series progresses.
