We also discuss a quote from John Green's Crash Course lecture on TB (Tuber...

In this podcast we discuss our thoughts on the last four episodes of Doctor Who Season 14 - Dot and Bubble, Rogue, The Legend of Ruby Sunday and Empire of Death.

What did we leave out? Which was your go to episod...

In this episode we share our love of the documentary, Somebody Feed Phil season 7. There is so much about this show that we adore and look forward to.
