Shows on Hiatus or Ended - StarQuest Media

Sometimes one of our shows has to take a break, has fulfilled its mission, or the hosts are unable to continue. That doesn’t mean the shows have lost their value! Here are some of the StarQuest shows that have ended their run or on an indefinite hiatus.

On Hiatus

The Secrets of Doctor Who
The Secrets of Doctor Who is a discussion of everything about the hit BBC series Doctor Who, from its beginnings in 1963 to the reboot in 2005 to the very latest episodes of today, on TV, in audio books, and everywhere in-between. Join Jimmy Akin and Domenico Bettinelli for in-depth discussions of the stories, characters, themes, and ideas that make Doctor Who such an enduring phenomenon—across television, audio dramas, books, and more. The show ended its main run in March 2026, but will return as new content and new series warrant.
