About us
We're a group of Doctor Who fans who get together in person and virtually to socialize, watch episodes, or listen to audio dramas. Although we're based in Chicago, we welcome anyone interested in Doctor Who.
(Note to medical professionals - we're not about medical doctors. Yes, we've had people show up asking if they can network with other doctors. We're still waiting to our first Time Lord because that would be awesome.)
We welcome anyone interested in Doctor Who. Whether you started with PBS "back in the day" or just learned about the show, you're welcome to join us. We meet both virtually and in person in the Chicago area.
If you want to know our monthly plans, please subscribe to our monthly email newsletter. (Don't worry - we won't sell your data). You can also find us on Facebook and Bluesky, and we encourage members to become sponsors on Patreon to keep our meets free (and low-cost), accessible, and inclusive.

VIRTUAL TARDIS Talk: Why We Love Doctor Who
·OnlineOnlinePeople have feelings now that Doctor Who is no longer being produced - everyone has an opinion. Separating valid opinions and criticism from more toxic attitudes has created a chaotic space in fandom.
So we’re holding a TARDIS Talk to discuss why we love Doctor Who.
We’re taking a lead from one of our favorite YouTubers, Salty Ham, who posted this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cupLf3QwX1E
(Don’t worry - we’ll screen it before our conversation).
We also encourage you to review our code of conduct before the session - https://www.chicago-whovians-united.org/code-of-conduct.html
So please join us for a lively virtual conversation about why we love Doctor Who.
