    E42: Turn left & fate and preordained paths

    In this episode, you can hear Jen have an existential breakdown in real time! What a treat! 
    This episode asks what would happen if Donna never met the Doctor? How would Earth handle the Racnoss, the falling Titanic or the Sontarans? Spoiler: not well. Meanwhile, we ask what it means to just follow the path you think you have to walk because society tells you to.

    E41: Midnight & being challenged

    E41: Midnight & being challenged

    It's time to watch Jen's fave New Who episode, Midnight. Apologies the sound is a bit dodgy on this one, but hang in there!
    In this ep, the Doctor hops on an all-day tour to the Saphire Waterfall which quickly goes wrong when one of the passengers is seemingly possessed. Paranoia and fear run rampant as the Doctor struggles to find a solution. The Doctor's fellow passengers really struggle with accepting the reality they find themselves, and some deny what's happening is even possible, so we're unpacking the idea of being challenged - whether that's your world view, or your reality.

    E40: The Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead & who gets to write stories/history

    E40: The Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead & who gets to write stories/history

    Time for an absolute New Who classic this week as we dive into the two-parter, Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead. Donna and the Doctor visit a planet-sized library. Here we meet River Song for the first time, Donna faces an alternate reality, and the Doctor grapples with not knowing everything. Since we're talking about books and stories, we had to ask who actually gets to tell their stories, and what do we lose when only one particular type of voice records our history?

    E39: The Unicorn and the Wasp & Women as Problem Solvers

    E39: The Unicorn and the Wasp & Women as Problem Solvers

    This week we dive headfirst into the fun murder mystery romp that is the Unicorn and the Wasp. As the Doctor and Donna join Agatha Christie to solve a murder, and more, we contemplate the pressure on women to be problem solvers, or at least to be 'fixers' of feelings. Think about all that 'soft skill' stuff that fall predominantely on women. Why?

    E38: The Doctor’s Daughter & Having Kids

    E38: The Doctor’s Daughter & Having Kids

    First up, apologies for the lack of episodes. Life got a bit hectic there for a bit. We'll hopefully be back on schedule now, so thanks for being patient with us. We appreciate you!
    In this episode, the Doctor, Donna and Martha find themselves in a war and the Doctor gets a surprise daughter. Cloning! What a time! This made us think about having kids, and the motivation to do so. Do you really want them or are you concerned with your legacy? Do you think it's the next logical thing to do? Does having kids make you less stressed about mortality or more? We don't have answers, but we like talking about it. Also LOTS of chat about cloning, of course.

    E37: The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky & Groupthink

    E37: The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky & Groupthink

    We've got a great topic for discussion this ep as we dive into the first two parter of season 4, The Sontaran Sratagem and The Poison Sky. We're untangling groupthink - when is it good, when is it bad, and is it necessary for military success? Join us for the vibes. In these episodes, The Doctor and Donna are back on Earth where they meet up with Martha and UNIT to respond to a new alien threat. The Sontarans are trying to poison the earth with a little help of Tech Bro Luke Rattigan.
