Doctor Who: Verity!

It's time to wrap up our first mini-arc of 2018! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Liz as we talk about the history of competent women in  Doctor Who . We discuss some favorites, some common threads, and have a jolly good time doing it! There's no way we could cover them all, so let us know who you think of when you think of competent women in our favorite show--the comments are open! ^E Also covered: Eri...

The final story in our competent-women mini-arc is "Battlefield" another story with a number of women to discuss. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we dig into this classic story. From witch-queens to explosive companions to brigadiers to helicopter pilots, there's a lot to talk about! What do you think of the cavalcade of ladies in this story? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Kat...

Schedule confusion means this week you get a pre-banked emergency Extra! Join Lynne, on stage at Chicago TARDIS, leading a panel of guests as they discuss feminism and  Doctor Who ! ^E

Our mini-arc on competent women continues with Astrid Ferrier. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we dip into the rollicking intrigue-filled delight that is "The Enemy of the World". Honourable mention to Fariah for also being fab. What do you think of these ladies? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Tansy is still enjoying the last remnants of a  Doctor Who Christmas because she now...

The first mini-arc of our Year of Women focuses on competent women, and Adelaide Brooke totally fits the bill! Join Deb, Katrina, and Lynne as they talk about Adelaide, her personality, her mission, her decisions, and much more. They also discover a possible tag-line for this year of podcasting: "It's a whole different story when you change the POV." Boy howdy. What do you think about Ms. Brooke?...

Happy 2018, everyone! Have we got a theme for you! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we chat about our "year of women" and just what that means to each of us. Whether it's busting the execrable "strong female character" trope wide open or honouring our first (canonically televised) woman Doctor, we're ready for a year of mini-arcs, matching, and merriment! What would you like from 2018? Let us kn...

Ok so the commentary itself isn't monstrous. Nor is the episode. The amount of whiskey consumed while commentating...? Join Deb and Erika as they do a live-from-Deb's-couch, in-person commentary! (recorded in November, 2017, during Erika's epic US vacation-adventure) ^E

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and season's greetings to all! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we discuss the latest  Doctor Who Christmas special--yet another regeneration episode. Who cried? Who didn't? Who's not ready to think about the 13th Doctor? Who wants to crash right into the new era? And what did we all think about the themes and execution of "Twice upon a Time"? There's only on...

One last game for 2017! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we once again compete to see who is the most trivial Verity of them all. Yep--it's back to  Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit! And this time Deb has an idea to make it a little less random and a little more fun! What do you think of the new format? Let us know in the comments! ^E

It's game-time once again, but this time Erika is in charge! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we discover what the googling public wants to know about  Doctor Who . Who followed in Lynne's winning footsteps? Who was totally in whose head? Who tipped over a chair? Listen and see! Huge thanks once again to Steve Lutz and  Low  Definition  for inspiring this game! ^E

I know Deb  says this is episode 154 on the podcast, but it turns out it's actually ep 153! (Totally my fault for providing bad information.) Anyway, join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we discuss a  Doctor Who story Liz loves, "The Androids of Tara". Deb had never seen it before. Did she like it? Listen and see! What do you think of this installment of The Key to Time? Let us know in the comment...

Join Erika and Lynne as we play all kinds of Verity! games LIVE on stage at Chicago TARDIS! ^E

The holiday season is upon us! Join Deb, Lynne, and Tansy as they chat about holiday traditions and how they intersect with fandom-- Doctor Who and otherwise. What are your geeky traditions/plans? Do you have gift suggestions? Let us know in the comments! ^E

Another LI Who is in the books! Join Deb and Erika  from the car on I-95 (!) as we talk about the weekend that was, suggest tips for good panel moderation, discuss the 13th Doctor's new costume, squee over the news that Steven Moffat will be at Gallifrey One (!), and almost get killed by a careless driver (not Deb). Were you at LI Who? Or do you have some ideas on how to make sure all panelists ge...

It's game time again! Well, less a game and more just "having opinions in a structured manner". Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we have opinions all over the place! And big thanks to Kim and Sage from Head over Feels who inspired this delightful pastime! Want to weigh in on the choices--or suggest future quandaries? Do so in the comments! ^E

It's time once again for something we love! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we discuss a story Erika loves, "Nightmare of Eden".

Let us know in the comments!   ^E   Also covered: Tansy is watching  Spaced with her kids! K...

It's time to slow down and get a bit reflective. Inspired by Peter Capaldi's "farewell tour" at New York Comic Con, Deb, Lynne, and Tansy take a thoughtful look back at Peter Capaldi's tenure. We discuss the impact he's had on the show, his legacy and examine his character arc as the 12th Doctor. Sure, we know he has one more story before the serious postmortem's begin, but we'd rather do this whi...

It's another game this week! A new one! This time we delve into the (entirely fictional) bowels of BBC history and learn the almost-could-have-been titles for some well-known  Doctor Who stories. Hope you find this as delightful as we did! Got some ideas to contribute? Let us know in the comments! ^E

Happy numberversary to the Verities! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we take another look back at  Verity! over the years. Technically, this is our 248th release, but who's counting that way?

Just pop on over to this post to ente...

Our year of loves and lasts hits another love. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we discuss an episode that Kat really loves: "The Sound of Drums". Yes, you read that right. Kat loves a 10th Doctor episode, and we find out why! We also talk about why the rest of us like it. There are numerous reasons, including Jack and the Master and good old Martha. Why do you love (or not love) this ep? Le...

More fun and games? Yes please! Join Erika (and her brand new bell) as she makes Liz and Tansy defend many things--some easy, some atrociously difficult! How do you think the defences went? And what tactics would you use? (And do you have anything you'd like to hear defended in the future?) Let us know in the comments! ^E

It's game time again! Join Deb as she leads Erika, Liz, and Lynne through yet another delightful  Doctor Who -based game.

Yes, we did already talk about the Master , but now that Missy is here, it's a whole new conversation! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we talk about the vast and interesting history of this character and their interactions with the Doctor. Who's your favorite Master? Why?

Our end-of-summer Extra(vaganza) continues! Join Deb, Katrina, and Tansy as they prove they can be every bit as monstrous as the other Verities (if not more so)! ^E
