Don’t Read the Comments #8: Justin Richards
Episode 429
Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
Don’t Read the Comments is an irregular podcast on our feed where we ignore the show’s title and actually read online comments relating to something going on in the world of Doctor Who.
Today, I'm reading comments from the Gallifrey subreddit relating to the very sad passing of Justin Richards, the prolific British author and editor whose dozens of Doctor Who novels, audio dramas, and reference books made him one of the franchise’s most influential writers outside of television.
Justin passed away with early-onset fronto-temporal dementia on June 28, 2026. He was 64.
