Doctor Whooligan

About Rob Levy

Doctor Whooligan is written by renowned Doctor Who expert Rob Levy. Rob is from St. Louis, Missouri and is an Anglophile, pop culture/SF writer, DJ and all around pop culture geek Rob Levy.

This always caffeinated die hard lover of Doctor Who spans the globe, absorbing music, film, books, TV, comics, and sci-fi shenanigans for regional and national publications without leaping tall buildings in a single bound.

Rob was introduced to Doctor Who as a freshman in high school in 1983. Although this seriously ruined his social status he didn't care. His interest in Doctor Who led to a wider interest in British television, film and culture which continues to this day. When asked he will tell you that his favorite Doctor is Patrick Troughton and that he has 'several' favorite episodes of the Classic series that he loves.

Since 1996 Rob has served as president of the United States' oldest Doctor Who/British media fan club, The St. Louis Celestial Intervention Agency. The CIA meets regularly in St. Louis and participates in programming at many local and national conventions, including Dragon*Con, where Rob is a loyal Brit Track participant for over 15 years.
