Brian Burress / Doctor Freedom

Youtuber/Podcaster

Greetings newcomers. I am Doctor Freedom. I have been a science fiction fan since childhood. I grew up on shows like Space:1999, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and many more. While the main focus of this channel is Doctor Who News, I tend to talk of other franchises and genres during my livestreams. Coming soon in 2020 I will be launching a new series called Across The Continuum which will delve into other areas of science fiction and beyond.

Jessica Womack

Jessica Womack

Actor / Dancer

At a glance Jessica Womack would seem like
every other retail working “girl next door”, but by night she becomes a quirky
actor with a nerdy knack for cosplaying. Originally from the mountains of
Tennessee, she graduated from East Tennessee State University with a B.A. in
Theatre and a Minor in Dance. Moving to Michigan to pursue her acting career
with an internship at a professional theatre company, Jessica became a part of
the Equity Membership Candidate Program.

After her internship and determined not to move back to a small-town life, Jessica picked up her belongings and drove 21 hours to Orlando, Florida where she now resides. She currently uses her acting chops in the simulation and training department at Advent Health Hospitals working with clinical and non-clinical employees to provide the best and most authentic training to real world scenarios. Jessica also performed with Mad Cow Theatre Company’s all female production of the musical 1776.

Although Jessica is The Legend of the Traveling Tardis’s resident cosplayer, it was only when she moved to Orlando that she was shown the intricate and creative world of cosplay and fell in love! Her first and most known cosplay is River Song, but she does cosplay from many other fandoms such as Star Wars, Gotham, Harry Potter, Once Upon a Time, etc.Jessica’s other hobbies include reading, going to Oga’s Cantina in Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge, talking to her cat (the cat talks first), building Doctor Who props, and getting into friendly fandom debates.

Jessica encourages others to try cosplaying, even if they don’t know where to start. For tips and inspiration you can find her cosplay photos on:
