About Us
Kyle Jones and Clarence Brown met in the mid-2000s while working for the same company. Likewise, Lee Shackleford and Kyle connected in late 2014 when asked to join Doctor Who: Podshock, the longest-running international Doctor Who podcast, beginning in January 2015. Conversations began in late 2015 between Kyle and Clarence to start their own podcast. But they needed a third member, and Lee became the obvious choice. And so began Discussing Who.
Naming a podcast often serves as one of – if not the – most difficult parts of starting a new show. The phrase “Who or what will we be discussing next?” became the original tagline for our Discussing Who podcast in early 2016. Since then, we’ve grown as content producers, individuals, and fans. The concept of a podcast covering Doctor Who, Comic Books and Sci-Fi has morphed into the Discussing Network.
We are not experts. We are fans just like you.
We are the Discussing Network – YOUR podcast network for all things geek and pop culture.
