Six smart people discussing Doctor Who

    The Balloon Metaphor

    The Balloon Metaphor

    Series 14 is over, so it's time for Verity! to talk about it and revisit the season's highs and lows.
    The crew is all here, and some of our pets decided to give their opinions as well. (If you speak canine or feline, please contact us to add a transcription.)

    Join Deb, Erika, Kat, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy, with special guests Hector, Hugo, and Pippa, as we talk series 14/season 1.    

    - We will be taking a couple of weeks off to prep for our Summer of Fun series.

    - If you're not already a member, you can join our Patreon as a free or paid member.

    So, what are your thoughts on series 14? What were your highs and lows? Do you agree with the general consensus of Empire of Death being a low point in the series? Drop us a message on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.

    The Empire of Death Strikes Back

    The Empire of Death Strikes Back

    The finale is here and half of the Verities are present to discuss it (with different opinions!) Join Deb, Kat, and Liz as we discuss "The Empire of Death," Sutekh, Ruby, and Mel. Have all our questions been been answered? Did the math add up? And in Kat's case, when will we get a Sutekh jackal plushie?   

    - We will be taking next week off to recover and then returning to the week after to discuss the entire series as a whole.

    - If you're not already a member, you can join our Patreon as a free or paid member. We've set up a post so you can give us some feedback about what you'd like to hear.

    Now friends, what are your thoughts on "The Empire of Death?" Did it bring you the answers you needed or just more questions? Are you looking forward to the Christmas special? Drop us a message on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, or let us know in the comments!

    P.S. Make sure to listen all the way to the end.

    P.P.S. The anagram last week was "Listen to Verity."

    The Wordle of Ruby Sunday

    The Wordle of Ruby Sunday

    The Doctor divides his attention between saving the world and helping Ruby learn about her past (thank you, VHS tapes), while Deb, Erika, Kat, and Tansy divide their attention between discussing Sutekh, thoughts on the Time Window, and the positive changes being made at U.N.I.T.   

    As mentioned in the episode: 

    - Joy Piedmont talks to Chris Chibnall on Reality Bomb 106A.
    - It's never Susan (except for in Warren's music video)

    We realize there's still another part to be aired, so anything can change, but what were your thoughts on "The Legend of Ruby Sunday?" Drop us a message on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, or let us know in the comments!

    P.S. Can you solve this anagram? "I invest lottery"

    Rogue for Insight

    Rogue for Insight

    Subtext, meet text! That kiss! Dungeons & Dragons in the Regency era! We have a lot of feels so thankfully Deb, Liz, and Lynne are here to discuss the rollicking Doctor Who episode "Rogue."   

    - Watch the official Doctor Who behind-the-scenes of "Rogue," including a mini interview with the writers Kate Herron and Briony Redman. (If you can find Unleashed! There's a longer interview.)

    So, there's lots of love for this episode, but what were your thoughts on "Rogue?" More importantly, which Richard E. Grant do we see among the regenerations? Drop us a message on our socials (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or website)

    Polka Dot Bubble

    Polka Dot Bubble

    - Watch a trailer for the mostly missing, now animated Doctor Who story: Galaxy 4.

    What were your thoughts on "Dot and Bubble?" What parts stood out to you and why? Drop us a message on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, or let us know on the website!

    73 Opinions

    73 Opinions

    Kat, Liz, and Tansy discuss the Doctor Who episode "73 Yards," with Liz continuing her moderator role. We also talk about Wellington Paranormal, genre, and tropes, and with this guest cast, of course, there's a brief section for fans of I, Claudius!


    - Watch a trailer for the 1976 TV show I, Claudius.

    What were your thoughts on "73 Yards?" Did you enjoy the lack of clarification the script gave us, or do you need to know what was said to make people run away? Drop us a message on social media, or let us know on our website.

So happy to have you back!

Thank you for returning to the podcast. Your insight and camaraderie have been missed.

dot and (pod) bubble

If the hosts are genuine in their desire to “sit with” how the ending of this episode was a reveal to them, I’d invite them to listen to the excellent Time And Relative Blackness in Space podcast to hear two Black Who fans’ brilliant discussion of it. Y’all missed a staggering amount of casual violence, dog whistles, and micro aggressions. New to this podcast and this was also a bummer of a way to discover that despite having a rotating group of hosts from around the world, not a single one is a person of color.

I like it

Just started listening during the 60th specials. I like it. There is a little too much repeated bashing of the previous tennant/Tate/rtd era for my taste, but that’s a matter of personal vibe. I get criticism! But I’ve had to start utilizing the skip button when the same negative takes I’ve heard over the past 15 years are needlessly retread. But while I search for the elusive dw podcast that doesn’t bring me down, I will return to this one 😂. I love hearing the ladies
