If you're interested in longer, non-podcast fiction, Big Finish Audio produces original Doctor Who stories, mostly "original" series, with a lot of original cast members doing voice work. They also have a number of other spinoff audio stuff for other media. They sell downloads, so if you're interested you don't have to wait for a CD to come in the mail! http://www.bigfinish.com/
