Doctor Who: Verity!

7&7 continues with the very first story of the 7th Doctor's era. Join Deb, Erika, Lizbeth, and Lynne as we talk about the rocky early days of Sylvester McCoy's run on the show. As you might expect, there's also a lot of talk about the Rani, and even some love for Mel. If you're hoping for an hour of slagging-off this story, kindly try another podcast, because we can't help you. What do you think o...

It's not a game ; it's an  activity . Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we try something new and wacky for our year of 7&7. This time we talk about seven topics for a minute each. They're (mostly) not  questions ; they're  discussion points . Life comes at you fast! Do you have any topics (or even questions) for us to discuss on another one of these? Let us know in the comments! ^E Support Verity...

We start off our year of sevens with the first story in series 7a. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we discuss "Asylum of the Daleks". Sure there are Daleks, but there's  relationship angst , and we really dig into that, which should surprise nobody. Have you (re)watched this story recently? Let us know what you think about it in the comments! ^E Happy things: Tansy continues her Big Finish...

As we embark on our 7th year of  Verity! we've devised an appropriate theme. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we talk about all things "7". We have so many ways we can make that number relate to  Doctor Who , and we're going to subject you to lots of them! What do you think of what we've got planned for 2019? Let us know in the comments! ^E Support Verity! on Patreon!

Happy New Year to one and all! Especially happy because we have some current  Doctor Who to discuss! Jon Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we dig into this "Resolution" of series 11. What did you think about this ep? Was it a better finale than the previous episode? Did you miss the Daleks? Let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things (and one sad thing): Erika was delighted with Steven's reaction to his C...

It's Christmas, but there's no new  Doctor Who today! To help you cope, we're gifting you with some truly epic holiday cheer. Join Lizbeth as she shepherds Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy through our very first role-playing adventure! That's right. It's a very special Christmas- Doctor Who RPG! (And yes, this was a surprise to everyone but Liz, so those reactions are 100% legit.) Which companion wo...

We have reached the end of Jodie Whittaker's first season as the Doctor. Join Deb, Erika, Lizbeth, and Tansy as we talk about the series as a whole -- the arc-or-not, the villains-or-not, the development-or-not, the consequences-or-not, and much more. We liked a lot, we questioned some of it, and as usual, we don't all agree on the details but have a delightful time breaking it down. What are your...

Yes. That is really what this episode is called. Join Deb, Erika, and Lynne as we stumble over the title, and possibly stumble a bit over the episode itself--or at least, over this as a "finale". What did you think of "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos" as a finale for this series? Or even just as an episode itself? Let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things: Erika adores Radio Free Skaro 's Fluid...

This weird and froggy episode may not have landed perfectly for all of us, but we find a lot to say. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lizbeth as we dive through the looking glass and into Norway. There's a lot to cover, but really, it's all about the sandwich. What did you think of this one? Let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things: Liz is doing a commentary on  Dr. Who and the Daleks for  Hammer...

There may have a dearth of Verities this week, but the podcast must go on! Join Deb and Tansy as they break down "The Witchfinders". There's a wealth of good stuff to dig into: history, feminism, the Doctor dealing with history and feminism, and, of course, Alan Cumming's acting. How did this story strike you? Let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things: Tansy highly recommends this 13th Doctor w...

It's a very special episode of  Verity! Why? Not just because today's  Doctor Who episode has an exclamation point just like we do -- it's also because we have three Verities in the same room to do a hot-take style review! Join Deb, Erika, and Katrina as we give our pretty much immediate reactions to this week's episode. What did you think of "Kerblam!"? Let us know in the comments! ^E "Folding Be...

Golly, another lovely-but-heavy episode of  Doctor Who . Join Erika, Lizbeth, and Tansy as we dig into this historical-with-aliens. We talk about the history of history in the show, the use (or not) of religion, and much, much, much more! (We did miss having Deb to wrangle us and keep us on track.) How did "Demons of the Punjab" strike you? Let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things: Tansy is ex...

Spaceship! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as the rest of us try to talk Deb into liking this story more than she did on first viewing. We can all agree that Astos is pretty awesome and we look forward to more Yaz, but that might be it... What did you think of this story? Was it your favourite of the season like it was for some of the Verities? Or did it leave you wanting more? Let us know in...

Arachnophobes beware! This ep was full of creepy-crawlies. Join Deb, Erika, Lizbeth, and  Lynne as we talk about our reactions to spiders, companion balance, visions of dead wives, and more. How did this one land for you? Let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things: Lynne is dazzled by the  Doctor Who -themed number on  Strictly Come Dancing ! Liz rewatched "Image of the Fendahl" ! Erika loves th...

We were all a bit nervous about this story -- whenever  Doctor Who tackles something as serious as racism, a lot is on the line. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we dig through how we feel about this story from our international (and very white) perspectives. If you haven't already, we highly recommend checking out reviews and comments from people with different backgrounds -- especially black...

The second episode of a new Doctor is, in some ways, more meaty and discussable than the first! Join Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we mourn for Deb's leaky basement and dig deep into all kinds of important aspects of this new era of  Doctor Who . What do you think of the opening credits, music, Doctor, companions, writing, TARDIS, and anything else so far? Let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things...

IT'S FINALLY HERE! NEW DOCTOR WHO ! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we gush over the new Doctor and pick apart this first episode. We're quite pleased overall, but as always, there are some serious issues worth discussing, and discuss them we do! How are you feeling about the new Doctor, the new "fam", the new showrunner, the questionable narrative choice(s), the secret pigeon, the term "co...

It's time for our final "hot seat" of the year! Join Erika and Lynne as we put many questions to Lizbeth, and she answers them all. She mentions lots of very interesting media, so we recommend listening with Google close at hand if you're interested in chasing down some of her recommendations! We also announce our new release schedule: for Series 11, we'll be pushing our podcast-drop-day back by o...

After about a year, we return to the most monstrous of games, You Monster, You. Join Deb as she makes Erika and Tansy make TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE choices. What would you have done in our shoes? Let us know in the comments! ^E Doctor Who: The Writers' Room on "The Evil of the Daleks" Support Verity! on Patreon!

We close off our last mini-arc of 2018 with a wrap-up discussion of kicky-stabby ladies in  Doctor Who . Join Deb, Liz, and Tansy as they talk about this history of the more aggressive ladies of  Who . Who are some of your favorite? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Tansy acquired Big Finish's Bernice Summerfield box sets! Liz acquired some of Doctor Who The Complete History ! Deb did...

Our final mini-arc continues with Ace, who bashes and 'splodes her way though "Remembrance of the Daleks". Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lizbeth as we talk about Ace and her baseball bat and the Nitro-9 she's not carrying. What do you think of Ace, both in this story and generally? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Kat enjoyed the  Marie Claire article and photoshoot with Jodie Whittak...

She may be more "shooty-'splodey" than kicky stabby here, but River Song is the next focus of our mini arc. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about "Let's Kill Hitler" and River (aka Melody, aka Mels) overall. How do you feel about River in this story? In general? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Erika's local comic shop, Variant Edition, has a TARDIS ! Tansy (re-?)discover...

This week we launch the final mini-arc in our Year of Women: Kicky-Stabby women! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we launch things in style -- Sevateem style! That's right, Leela is our first kicky-stabby heroine (in her first story, "The Face of Evil"), and we're thrilled to have a chance to talk about her, as it's something we haven't done much at all on  Verity! What do you think of Leela...

Popular demand brings us another quiz! Join Liz as she quizzes Deb, Katrina, Lynne, and Tansy. The rules may be slightly less dubious this time. Maybe. ^E

It's Deb's turn in the Hot Seat! Join Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we grill her about all kinds of  Doctor Who and non- Who stuff! From formative music to Check, Please! Any questions you wish we'd asked? Let us know in the comments! ^E
