QLP 041 Runaway

Join us as we buckle in for a family road trip — Quantum Leap style — with Season 3 Episode 11, Runaway.

Guest hosts Allison Pregler, Matt Dale and Christopher DeFilippis journey cross country with Sam as he Leaps into 13-year-old Butchie Rickett. Not only does Sam have to deal with a host of adolescent indignities — including a mean big sister and posing with Buffalo Chimps — but he also has to find a way to keep Butchie’s mother Emma from abandoning her family.

We also bring you an interview with actor Tom McTigue. Tom played Blake’s sycophantic yes-man Calloway in the Christmas episode A Little Miracle. He spoke to Chris about his acting and stand-up comedy career, and recounted his time guest starring on Quantum Leap.

Then stick around for a new Quantum Deep, radio sightings, trivia, feedback and more.

Mirror Image Lost Ending Special

[WARNING: This podcast contains spoilers for the Quantum Leap series finale Mirror Image]

We interrupt your regularly scheduled podcast to bring you breaking news!

Quantum Leap Podcast staffer Allison Pregler has made the uncovery of the century — finding photographic proof that an alternate ending to series finale Mirror Image was likely filmed.

Allison joins co-host Christopher DeFilippis and Quantum Leap expert Matt Dale to discuss the photos, which feature Dean Stockwell as Al and Susan Diol reprising her role as Beth in a scene contained in original production scripts for Mirror Image — previously thought unfilmed.

But you don’t have to take our word for it. We also have an amazing interview with Susan Diol, who shared her memories of that shooting day and helped shed some new light on this amazing find.

So please join us was we take a new Leap — into Quantum Leap history!

Just to remind everyone, our fearless leaders Albie, Heather, and Serenity recently had to flee their home because of Hurricane Irma, leaving a huge physical, mental and financial strain. So to try to help Albie and Heather get back on their feet, the Quantum Leap Podcast crew has decided to have a fundraiser.

Please take this as an early thank you for your generosity. As with all our other commentaries, this one is also intended to be listened to as you watch the episode with low volume.

Would everybody please make a generous donation via Paypal to “albertburdge@msn.com” or https://www.paypal.me/albie ? We have more than 2000 people who have liked this page – just to put that into context, if everyone donated even just one dollar, that would be $2000 and would make a substantial difference. Also to raise funds, we will also soon be putting some Quantum Leap items and special services up for sale soon – stay tuned. All proceeds will go to Albie and Heather.

Albie and Heather will only be learning about this fundraiser now, remember that we love you and you are in our thoughts in this difficult time. Also, this commentary is spoiler heavy, so please don’t listen to it, Heather. Everybody else, enjoy

Beyond the Mirror Image

f9acdd1c1bfaf3f939aa00ec2d6d61b7_originalThe Quantum Leap Podcast is proud to bring you an interview with Matt Dale and Kevin West, the creative team behind the upcoming Quantum Leap book:

68d3c84ed9813a16649f53f3d8969337_originalBeyond the Mirror Image: The Observer’s Guide to Quantum Leap.

Author Matt Dale launched the Doctor Who website millenniumeffect.co.uk in 1998 and has been writing detailed analysis of TV series ever since. He’s most well-known for covering Doctor Who spin-offs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures — the Saw films — and the Jeff Wayne concept album The War of the Worlds, amongst other things.

Kevin West has been Matt’s collaborator for 20 years, contributing articles to TME and creating TME Books in 2006.

Matt came up with the idea for Beyond the Mirror Image after decades of knowing a little bit about Quantum Leap and waiting for an official book that would tell him everything….

While he waits, he has written this unofficial but extensively comprehensive show guide. And both Matt and Kevin have taken the time to tell us all about it.

The book is available for preorder now exclusively through the Beyond the Mirror Image Kickstarter Page.

So please listen as the Quantum Leap Podcast takes you Beyond the Mirror Image.
