Episode 213 - Spyfalling or Rising? 11.01.2020

Two weeks in a row of  Doctor Who feels like such a treat! Join Deb, Erika, and Katrina as we discuss whether "Spyfall Part 2" lived up to the amazing ride of part 1 or was a total let-down. These Verities present a range of opinions. What did you think of part 2 of "Spyfall"?

Episode 212 - Spyfalling for Sacha 03.01.2020

Extra! - 7 Fave Xmas(ish) Stories 25.12.2019

SCHEDULING NOTE: We won't be dropping a  Verity! ep on New Year's Day because  Doctor Who is dropping that day! In order to get a quorum together to talk about it, our ep (like all the series 10 Verity! eps) will drop over the weekend. There may not be Doctor Who on Christmas Day, but we're bringing on the Christmas cheer with this special, super-sized "7 Faves" episode. Join ALL of the Verities:...

Extra! - Doctor Who Traditions 18.12.2019

As the holiday season approaches we all have a lot of thoughts about traditions. I think it's safe to say, however, that this topic probably WON'T be a Verity! tradition, basically because we can't even agree as to what a tradition IS. But we give it a decent go as Deb, Erika, and Liz talk about their Doctor Who traditions, holiday-related and otherwise. Liz disputes most of it, Erika digs deep an...

211 - A Good Man Goes to War Games 11.12.2019

Join Deb, Kat, and Tansy as they reach waaay back to 2011 to re-examine the story that began (ended? landed the middle? it's hard to tell with peak S6-Moffat) the whole "The Doctor is the most fearsome thing in the Universe" lark. No, I didn't misspell "arc". They dive into tropes, power dynamics, issues of morality, the difficulties of (and sexism surrounding) introducing a baby subplot, and how...

Extra! - 7 Fave Master Stories 04.12.2019

Time for more favourites! Join Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we list our favourite Master stories from the history of  Doctor Who -- in one case, both on-screen and off! According to Liz, an alternate title for this episode could be "a podcast of betrayal". What are your faves? Let us know in the comments! ^E Support Verity! on Patreon!

210 - Asylum of The Daleks' Master Plan 27.11.2019

This week Deb, Erika, Liz and Tansy revisit an oft maligned (by Deb) story -- "The Daleks' Master Plan". There are a few disagreements as to pace, plot, story, Katarina... and while may not all agree on which companion actually clocks in as the official 7th companion in Doctor Who history, we do all agree that Sara Kingdom is a BAMF. How do you feel about this "epic" adventure? Is it a rambling me...

Please Fill This Space 20.11.2019

We don't know about you, but we've been watching that space. And watching. And watching. In this sprightly Extra, Deb, Erika, and Kat talk about successful, and not so successful, Doctor Who marketing/teaser campaigns -- what we thought worked well and what we thought was perhaps less than "iconic". Do you have a favorite Doctor Who promo campaign? Send us a tweet or let us know in the comments. H...

209 - Nightmare in Silver Nemesis 13.11.2019

It's back to the 7th Doctor's era for another 7&7 chat. Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we talk about Doctor Who 's 25th anniversary story, "Silver Nemesis". AKA, "Remembrance of the Daleks...Again".   What do you think of this story? Is received fan wisdom correct this time? Or is this episode pure gold silver? Let us know in the comments!   ^E   Happy things: Liz is writing for Big Finish again, thi...

Extra! - This or That Volume 4 06.11.2019

Since a few of the Verities missed the fun last time, we're doing another This or That! (So again, big ol' hat tip to Head Over Feels ) Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we choose between things. So many choices! Would you have chosen This or That? Let us know in the comments! ^E Support Verity! on Patreon!

Extra! - Best Halloween (Gaming) Ever! 30.10.2019

It's game time once again, and we convinced Liz to lead us on a merry adventure! Join her as she puts Erika, Lynne, and special guest Annette Wierstra through the Halloween-themed ringer! Which part of this epic quest was your favourite? Let us know in the comments! ^E Support Verity! on Patreon!

208 - 7 Nation Army of Ghosts/Doomsday Tripper 23.10.2019

Okay, this "7" is a stretch but we made it work. Join Deb, Lynne, and Tansy as we dissect the rollicking, emotional, and devastating story duo of "Army of Ghosts" and "Doomsday". We give credit to 8 y.o. RTD (the obvious creator of the Dalek v. Cyberman smackdown) while calling out the emotional manipulation he inflicted upon both Jackie and Rose. But we all come together in our adoration Yvonne H...

207 - Ghost Light My Fire 16.10.2019

7&7 brings us back to the 7th Doctor! Join Deb, Lizbeth, and Lynne as they discuss "Ghost Light". They do talk about things other than Ace-in-a-tux, but let's face it, that's one of the more important aspects of this story. How do you feel about Ghost Light? Or about Ace in a tux? Let us know in the comments!   ^E   Happy things: Liz is thrilled to be writing for the 12th Doctor again in Big Finis...

Extra! - This or That Volume 3 09.10.2019

It's been a while since we've done one of our favourite activities (hat tip to Head Over Feels ): This or That! Join Deb, Liz, and Lynne as they make choices between things. So many choices!

206 - The 7-Eleventh Hour 02.10.2019

This 7&7 brings us Steven Moffat's seventh episode. Join Deb, Katrina, and Tansy as they chat about Matt Smith's debut, and the debut of the Moffat era. What do you think of this story? Let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things: Kat is excited about a (potential?) guest star for series 12!

Extra! - Another AVAmergency 25.09.2019

What do we do when plans fall through? We count on you! Join Deb and Lynne as they dig into some of the questions you lovely listeners have asked. That's right, it's another "Ask Verity! Anything"!

205 - Yule Logopolis 18.09.2019

This week we have the seventh story from the seventh year of the only Doctor to stick around that long. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk over the 4th Doctor's exit. How do you feel about "Logopolis"? Is it a touching exit? A bunch of nonsense? A boring slog with just a few moments of joy? Let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things: Lynne sobs over the season 26 Blu-ray trailer ! Erik...

204 - The Sharper Image of the Fendahl 04.09.2019

This 7&7 entry comes from the year 1977. That's two whole 7s! Join Deb, Erika and Katrina as we talk about how much we love Ma Tyler, the echoes we see in RTD's era of Doctor Who , the relationship between the Doctor and Leela, the many tropes (the good and the bad), and much more! What do you think about "Image of the Fendahl"? Is it a classic? Middling? Are the baby fendahleen adorable? Let us k...

Extra! - Seven Minutes in Heaven(?) - Volume 3 28.08.2019

Today's 7-minutes Extra! comes with a twist! Join Deb, Erika, Lizbeth, and Katrina as they talk for one minute each about seven different topics. The twist is that Kat supplied the topics AND has to talk about them. That doesn't make it as easy as you might think. If you have future "7 Minutes..." topics, let us know in the comments! ^E Hammer House of Podcast Support Verity! on Patreon!

203 - The Unicorn and the Wasp's Nest 21.08.2019

This week is another "Lucky 7" with the seventh episode of series 4. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we talk about mysteries, celebrity historicals, classism, racism, and how we deal with media created by people with views we abhor. What do you think of "The Unicorn and the Wasp"? And how do you deal with stories created by people whose views harm you and/or people you love? Let us know in...

202 - Club Inferno 07.08.2019

Our 7&7 hits a milestone as we finish off season seven. Join Deb, Lizbeth, and Tansy as they discuss the parallel-world epic that many fans think is one of the greatest  Doctor Who stories ever. Do they agree? Listen and find out! What do you think of "Inferno"? Is it the masterpiece fandom says? Let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things: Liz has a Zarbi fig from eaglemoss !

Extra! - Same Stuff, Different Monsters 31.07.2019

Deb is back with the same monstrous choices as last time, but with a whole new batch of Verities! Join her as she puts Erika, Lynne, and Tansy through the ringer with some tough (and not-so-tough) decisions. Which monstrous choices would you have made? Have you changed your mind since the last mounstrous Extra? Let us know in the comments! ^E Support Verity! on Patreon
