Verity! Episode 43 - Stats That Are Fails and Werewolf Tales
June 04, 2014 12:30 - 1 hour - 60 MBThis week we get sidetracked (by an infographic, of all things) before we even get started! Once we get that out of our systems, we roll on through our usual happy-Who-things into a well-loved topic. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we talk about the use of mythology in Doctor Who. Tansy waxes poetic about Greek and Arthurian myths, Kat has strong feeling about werewolves, Erika is happy about many things, and Deb manages to not get (too) mad at the internet! Congratulations to Koa, w...
Verity! Extra! - Ask the Verities!
May 28, 2014 12:30 - 44 minutes - 31.3 MBIt's another listener-participation Extra! You asked us questions. We answered! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we briefly chat about the 16-second series 8 teaser and then dive into your clever questions. We had a lot of fun recording this one, so thanks to all the listeners who participated! If we didn't get to your question here, perhaps we will in a future Extra! You never know... Also, Lynne would like it known that she meant to say she'd sacrifice "The Twin Dilemma" rather than "...
Verity! Episode 42 - Life, the Universe, and Traitors
May 21, 2014 12:30 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBThis week's ep starts with several announcements (including a contest!) and our usual Doctor Who happy-things. After that, we get down to business with a fascinating and surprisingly multi-faceted topic. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we talk traitors--those baddies (and occasionally goodies) who sell out their own people and side with the invaders, oppressors, and other villains. Why do they do it? What motivations are the most interesting? Which lend themselves best to scenery-chew...
Verity! Extra! - In Defense Of... 3 Rounds Rapid
May 14, 2014 12:30 - 36 minutes - 25.5 MBIt's been a while, but once again, we're making good on our promise to defend Doctor Who. Those bits you think are dodgy? We'll find something good in 'em--even if it kills us. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy for our most ridiculous Extra! yet. Deb springs a last-minute rules change on us, and it results in consternation and hilarity. Can the Verities keep their defenses to two minutes? (EXACTLY two minutes!) Listen and see! ^E
Verity! Episode 41 - The Legend of Sontar: A Linx to the Past
May 07, 2014 12:30 - 1 hour - 59 MBOur survey of Doctor Who baddies continues with those kings of the potato people themselves! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we chat about Sontarans. We all rewatched "The Sontaran Stratagem" and "The Poison Sky" as a jumping-off point for this conversation, but fear not Classic Who fans, there's plenty discussion of their origins and development throughout the series (and even Big Finish)! What do you think of these (usually) stocky, militaristic foes? Let us know in the comments! Whil...
Verity! Extra! - TARDIS Tripping
April 30, 2014 12:30 - 33 minutes - 23.4 MBIt's high time for another silly Verity! Extra! This week's topic is inspired by a "Mind Meld" in SF Signal. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss where we'd go if we had one trip in the TARDIS. Who wants to do something historical? Who wants something literary? Who wants the future? Or alien adventures? Perhaps most important of all, who is our very own Meddling Monk? (Spoiler: that one's Liz. Surprise.) Where would you take the TARDIS if you had one trip? Let us know in the commen...
Verity! Episode 40 - Doctor Who Villains: The Estrogen Adventures
April 23, 2014 12:30 - 1 hour - 49.8 MBDeadly divas, anyone? This week our villainous discussion centers on the ladies. For a change, we have a jumping off point--and it's VAM! (That's "value-added material", as in DVD extras.) Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we discuss one of the extras on the Shada DVD set. (Spoiler: We're much more excited about this one than the last one we talked about.) What does it mean to be a diva? Do all the female baddies on the show (and included the extra) qualify? Our discussion ranges beyond "...
Verity! Extra! - Time and Relative Dimension in Space(monkeys)
April 16, 2014 12:30 - 34 minutes - 23.9 MBWe've had silly Extras before, but perhaps none that went quite this (delightfully) far off the rails. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we talk about our favorite rooms in the TARDIS--both the ones that exist, and the ones we wish did! Come for the TARDIS talk, stay for the space monkeys. ^E Bonus link [on our site]: A guinea pig in battle armor
Verity! Episode 39 - Turn, Smile, Shapeshift, Repeat
April 09, 2014 12:30 - 1 hour - 43.2 MBThis week we cover what are some of the trickiest of the villains the Doctor has faced (one who even wears his face)! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we try to stay on topic talking about shapeshifters. What is it about them that's scary? Do they hold the same appeal for all of us? Is a talking cactus a more or less believable shapeshifter than a mostly-non-functioning robot? ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Liz discovers what might be the most useless Dalek tat ever! Erika tells Ma...
Verity! Extra! - The Rani, Remembered
April 02, 2014 12:30 - 28 minutes - 20.1 MBThis week's Extra is somewhat melancholy. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, Liz, and Lynne as we remember the Rani and pay tribute to the contribution of the late Kate O'Mara. Cold, sharp, stylish, snarky, and oh-so-delightful, the Rani is one of the Verities' most beloved Gallifreyan villains. Why do we love her? What made her special? Can/should the Rani return in another guise? ^E
Verity! Episode 38 - Cybermental
March 26, 2014 12:30 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBYou had to know we'd get here sooner or later. How could one of the most iconic villain races in Doctor Who not rate their own episode? Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we talk about the troublesome tin men. From their humble origins to their totally-different new-series origins, we touch on all the bits that make the Cyber race so fascinating to us. We may not all be "TeamCybermen" like Deb is, but they definitely have a place in each of our hearts. We even (surprise, surprise) mention Bi...
Verity! Extra! - Who's in What?
March 19, 2014 12:30 - 35 minutes - 25 MBThis week's Extra! is another fun one. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we talk about the rabbit holes we've disappeared down because of Doctor Who. Which actors and creators have we followed from Who? What other shows have we watched because of them? Are we embarrassed by these properties? (Hint: the answer is yes.) See below for some (most?) of the shows and films we mentioned. (Note: There's some overlap between us, but I only included each link once.) ^E [links on our site] Deb Ch...
Verity! Episode 37 - These Villains Are History
March 12, 2014 12:30 - 1 hour - 50.1 MBThis week we dip into the past to talk about some baddies from the old days. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we set out to discuss the historical villains of Doctor Who. Along the way we discover it's much more complicated than it seems. Historical (and pseudo-historical) stories are really different beasts from other types of Who. It's a fascinating discussion! We hope you find it so too. ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Tansy received an unexpected knitted Dalek from Strange H...
Verity! Extra! - Chicago TARDIS Leftovers
March 05, 2014 13:30 - 40 minutes - 28 MBRemember how much fun we had at the Chicago TARDIS live show when we let the audience pick the topics we'd talk about? It didn't seem fair that we couldn't all participate, so we saved the last few topics for the rest of the gang! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we clean up the last few ideas submitted by our lovely Chicago TARDIS live audience. We don't manage to stay on topic terribly well this time either--surprise surprise! ^E Bonus link [on our site]: Tansy's blog post on Marth...
Verity! Episode 36 - Run-of-the-Mill to Run-for-Your-Life
February 26, 2014 13:30 - 1 hour - 48.1 MBSteven Moffat is often praised for his ability to take perfectly normal everyday things and make them terrifying, but Doctor Who has a long history of such antics. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we chat about lots of mundane items we now give the side-eye, thanks to our beloved show. From angels to dolls to plastic policemen to telephones, the world is a scary place. Thanks Doctor Who! And in a strange bit of synchronicity, Deb tries to remember the title of a book she read as a you...
Verity! Extra! - Gallifrey One-derful
February 19, 2014 13:30 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MBHave you ever been curious what four exhausted, happy, giggly Doctor Who podcasters sound like as they approach the end of a truly wonderful convention? Now’s your chance to find out! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as they recap their Gallifrey One experiences and marvel at how strange (and fun) it is to record while sitting in the same room! Expect some fun anecdotes, talk of interesting panels, and occasional ramblings/brain freezes. This was recorded Sunday evening, after all. (Post-c...
Verity! Episode 35 - Time Lords: Bureaucrats, Baddies, Rogues, & Reprobates
February 12, 2014 13:30 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBThis week’s villains hail from the Doctor’s very own planet, Gallifrey. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we talk about various Time Lord evildoers. Why are so many of the renegades so evil? Is it something about Time Lord society? The fact that they make their children stare into the abyss? Who’s the worst of the lot? Who’s the most interesting? There’s a lot to cover here, especially since we spend some time oohing and aahing over the 12th Doctor’s costume before we get on with things. Y...
Verity! Extra! - Puppets and Pen Names
February 05, 2014 13:30 - 55 minutes - 38.9 MBOn this week's Extra! we bring you not one, but two Doctor Whotastic interviews! First, Deb talks to Alisa Stern, who is possibly better known as the force behind Doctor Puppet. If you've never heard Deb squee about Doctor Puppet, you probably haven't been listening long. Then Deb chats with Jenny Colgan, award-winning author, Doctor Who fan, and writer of two Doctor Who books! Join Deb and Erika for a bit of squee before and after the interviews, and please enjoy! ^E Jenny Colgan links [o...
Verity! Episode 34 - Frenemies
January 29, 2014 13:30 - 1 hour - 54.7 MBOur examination of the villains continues, as we look at baddies that have become friends--or at least allies. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we discover that there are several subcategories here. Some enemies become friends. Some become allies-of-convenience. Some swing back and forth throughout their contact with the Doctor. It's an interesting and far-reaching conversation. Hope you enjoy! ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Erika COMPLETELY FLIPS for The First Sontarans, by And...
Verity! Extra! - We Choo- Choo- Choose Who!
January 22, 2014 13:30 - 29 minutes - 20.9 MBWelcome to what's probably the silliest Verity! Extra! to date. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we answer a listener question: Which Doctor would you most like to travel with, and why? We also expand on this to cover who we'd least like to travel with, which companions we'd like to join, and which incarnation of the Master we'd tag along with. It's a barrel of laughs and then some (for us, anyway--hope it is for you too)! ^E
Verity! Episode 33 - Christmas Villains: Naughty or Nice?
January 15, 2014 13:30 - 1 hour - 51.1 MBThe sophomore year of Verity! has officially begun! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we dive into the world of Doctor Who villains. As the holiday season has barely passed, where better to start than the Christmas episodes? How do the Christmas villains stack up compared to each other? Which story doesn't even have a villain? Who likes "Voyage of the Damned"? Who doesn't like "A Christmas Carol"? Listen as we struggle to keep on point and discuss the villains without slipping into discus...
Verity! Extra! - 2014: The Year in Preview
January 08, 2014 13:30 - 30 minutes - 21.4 MBHappy 2014 everyone! We hope your first week of the new year has treated you well. We also hope you're ready for a whole new year, a new series if you will, of Verity! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we let you in on what we have in store for you this year. You'll certainly get reviews of new Doctor Who episodes (whenever they finally air), but in addition to that, we've got a whole new theme to cover! We hope you're even half as excited about it as we are. It strikes me that we're f...
Verity! Episode 32 - Doctor Stew Is Required
January 01, 2014 18:00 - 1 hour - 67.1 MBIt's official. 2013 is over, and so is the tenure of Matt Smith as the Doctor. Once again, join ALL the Verities: Deb, Erika, Katrina, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy, as we discuss Matt's final episode. It should come as no surprise that we disagree on whether this was a good and worthy sendoff for such a fine Doctor. Who loved it? Who didn't? And why? Listen and see! This week we have our first pre-release erratum! Tansy's daughter Raeli wanted her to tell everyone that she got The Abominable Snowm...
Verity! Extra! - We Wish You a Merry Smith-mas!
December 25, 2013 18:00 - 1 hour - 47.8 MBThough it pains us to say it (some more than others), the time of our beloved Matt Smith's tenure as the Doctor is almost at an end. (By the time you get around to this, it may well be over.) Join ALL of the Verities(!) Deb, Erika, Katrina, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy, as we discuss why we think he's been so successful in the role and reminisce about our favorite 11th-Doctor stories. We're all excited about Peter Capaldi, but we can't help being sad to see such a wonderful Doctor say farewell. It...
Verity! Episode 31 - More Anniversaries (Than You Can Shake a Sonic At)
December 18, 2013 18:00 - 1 hour - 56.2 MBJust when you thought we were done with Anniversary Mania...we jump right back in! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we reminisce about the televised anniversary specials of days gone by. There have been a lot of official celebrations of our beloved show. Some were great (according to most of us), and some were...less than that (according to most of us). Who's not so keen on "The Five Doctors"? Who is super-duper keen on "Dimensions in Time"? Listen and see! ^E Also covered [links on ...
Verity! Extra! - Chicago TARDIS - LIVE!
December 11, 2013 18:00 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MBThis week's Extra! is a first for us--a LIVE show! The gracious powers-that-be at Chicago TARDIS let us do our thing--in person! Join Erika, Liz, Lynne, and special guest Jennifer Kelly (programming director of the con) as we review what we enjoyed about the convention, marvel at how weird it is to see each other while we're talking, and discuss lots of audience-supplied mini-topics! This was oodles of fun, and we hope we get a chance to do it again sometime. Thanks to everyone who came to ...
Verity! Episode 30 - An Adventure: Embraced, Sublime
December 04, 2013 18:00 - 1 hour - 44.1 MBThis week's episode feels more reverent than most, which seems fitting, given the subject matter. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we have an almost NPR-style chat about what we enjoyed in this “love letter to Doctor Who.” We all enjoyed it to varying degrees, but as you might expect, some of us had wee quibbles with it. Generally very wee, though. Think of this ep as a mellow way to ease out of the giant (sometimes exhausting) squee-fest that these past few weeks have been. ^E Also ...
Verity! Episode 29 - A Day in the Lives
November 27, 2013 18:00 - 1 hour - 72.5 MBWe made it, guys! The 50th anniversary special has come, kicked booty, and gone again. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy as we marvel at many things including the ways Doctor Who brings people together, the utter joy of seeing three Doctors on screen together for So Many Minutes, the genius of working in Billie Piper as not-Rose, the way Moffat "fixed" so many elements of classic and new Who, and, not least of all, the hilarity of seeing classic Doctors send themselves up beautifully. ...
Verity! Episode 28 - One-derful, Hmm?
November 20, 2013 18:00 - 1 hour - 63.5 MBThis week we battled the evil monster known as SkypeLag to bring you a podcast full of squee and surprise. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we get happy about Who-things, gush about McGann, and find representative aspects where we least expected them. We cover our reactions to "The Night of the Doctor" and our impressions of "Planet of Giants" as a representative story for the first Doctor. Perhaps not a common choice, but one that made for a rollicking discussion! ^E Also covered [l...
Verity! Extra! - In Defense of 'Fear Her'
November 13, 2013 18:00 - 31 minutes - 22.3 MBWe have heard your challenges, and we have answered! The first installment of our new "In Defense Of" series tackles one of fandom's least-beloved stories, "Fear Her." Join Deb, Katrina, and (eventually) Liz as they do their best to see the good in "Fear Her." Deb has some interesting observations about Rose. Kat experiences a shocking revelation. And Liz proves (to no one's surprise) not-very-good at staying consistently positive. ^E
Verity! Episode 27 - Pepper-Pot Party
November 06, 2013 18:00 - 1 hour - 45.2 MBThe Doctor and his companions aren't the only ones who've been around for 50 years this month. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we detour into the realm of villainy and discuss the dreaded Daleks! Dalekmania hit hard in the 60s, inspiring toys, films, more toys, and even a song! Listen in as we Verities talk about all these things and more. Which stories are the most definitive Dalek stories? Which are our favorites? Are the Dalek movies worth checking out? "Tune in" and see! ^E Also...
Verity! Extra! - Definitive Companions (Part 2)
October 30, 2013 17:00 - 34 minutes - 24.4 MBHappy Hallowe'en to you all! Due to some tricks technology played on us, you get the treat of not having to wait another week to hear the conclusion of our definitive companion series. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we wrap up the remaining five Doctors and discuss who we think is the definitive companion for each. ^E
Verity! Extra! - Definitive Companions (Part 1)
October 23, 2013 17:00 - 28 minutes - 19.8 MBThis week, we at Verity! learned, once again, that there's no way to cover all 50 years of Doctor Who in one short episode--at least not for us. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we hash out who the definitive companion is for each Doctor. Do we agree? Are you kidding? In fact, we only made it through about half of the Doctors, so join us now for Doctors 11 through 6 (going backwards, of course), and stay tuned in a couple weeks when we tackle the rest! ^E
Verity! Episode 26 - Two New 2! It's True!
October 16, 2013 17:00 - 1 hour - 50.7 MBWoo hoo! This week Deb, Erika, Katrina, Liz, and Lynne join the ranks of gleeful fans around the world as we celebrate the return of nine previously-lost second Doctor episodes! We just happen to have reached dear old 2 in our countdown, so we threw out the story we planned for and decided "The Web of Fear" is a great representative story. Though maybe not all of us were quite as squeeful about it as expected. Of course we can't help but talk about "The Enemy of the World" a bit too. It's a...
Stuff We Like!
October 09, 2013 17:00 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MBPLEASE NOTE: We recorded this Extra! before we heard the official news that "some" previously-missing Doctor Who episodes had been returned. Believe that we all like that very much indeed! This week's Extra! is all about happiness! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we do an extended version of what's caught our attention and made us happy about Doctor Who as of late. From oft-maligned stories to oft-praised podcasts, from charity events to fan-fic, we bring our darlings to the table and ...
Verity! Episode 25 - Let's Hear it for the Boys!
October 02, 2013 17:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBIt's time once again to talk about companions! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we turn our attention to the male denizens of the TARDIS (and possibly its immediate surroundings, though we don't agree on whether that counts). No surprise, the Verity! crew is just as divided as fandom at large when it comes to what qualifies one for "companion" status. But we do agree that male companions add a great deal of value and entertainment to our beloved show, and we want more! ^E Also covere...
Verity! Extra! - Vapid VAM?
September 25, 2013 17:00 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MBExtra!-on-extra action! A DVD extra called "Being a Girl"? How could we resist? Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we talk about this bit of value-added material from the most recent release of "Shada". Or does it add value? The opinions on this are strong and voiced loudly so settle in, buckle up, and enjoy the ride! ^E
Verity! Episode 24 - Three: Some of Us Like Him
September 18, 2013 17:00 - 1 hour - 49.3 MBOur countdown of the Doctors has reached it's antepenultimate entry. Whether you were looking forward to it or not, it's Jon Pertwee time! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss the pros and cons of the most dapper of Doctors. We also spend a good amount of time talking about Jo and the Master, and we even manage to detour into UK politics of the 70s. And as usual, there is much friendly disagreement! ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Liz is excited about the latest Gallifrey One...
Verity! Extra! - Una McCormack
September 11, 2013 17:00 - 34 minutes - 24.4 MBThis week's Extra! brings another interview--this time with one of the female creators involved in the Doctor Who universe, Una McCormack! Una is most definitely One Of Us--a fascinating fangirl with loads of talent to accompany her deep love for Doctor Who. Join Deb as she chats with Una about writing DW novels, writing for Big Finish, being a fangirl, and even a bit about Star Trek and Blake's 7! And be sure to check out Una's work and online presence: [links on our site] @unamccormack on...
Verity! Episode 23 - The "Other" Doctors
September 04, 2013 15:45 - 1 hour - 49.3 MBWe're back to talking Doctors this week, but perhaps not in the way you expected. Join Erika, Kat, Liz, and Tansy as we discuss those actors who played the Doctor non-canonically! *gasp* Yes, there are plenty of performances out there that don't fall under the umbrella of what went out on BBC1. More than some of us realized! Certainly more than some of us cared about. As you may have noticed, we're sans Deb this week. With no one (but the hapless Erika) to reign in the troops, see just how ...
Verity! Extra! - Fangirls Just Wanna Have Fun
August 28, 2013 17:00 - 43 minutes - 30.1 MBWith the fandom explosion(s) over the announcement of Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor, it's time for another Important Conversation on Verity! Join Deb, Erika, Kat, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk (and disagree--surprise, surprise) about what it means to be a Doctor Who fan. We say "boo" to meanness, decry gatekeeping, and debate who gets to define terms like "fangirl". It's a great conversation and further proof that it is, in fact, possible to have a reasonable discussion of a difficult topic...
Verity! Episode 22 - Companion Confab: Once, Future, & Out of This World
August 21, 2013 17:00 - 1 hour - 43.7 MBIt's time to talk about companions again! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina (as opposed to Katarina--yes, we have some confusion there), and Lynne as we discuss companions who joined the Doctor from the past, the future, and other worlds. How do past companions stack up to those from the future? Does one type work better than the other? What about "alien" companions? How about robots? Do robots count? (They so totally do!) Listen in as we compare Victoria's and Zoe's relationships to Jamie, ponder o...
Verity! Extra! - Lovely Louise
August 14, 2013 17:00 - 36 minutes - 25.7 MBThis Verity! Extra! feels like an extra-special one. We have the incredible pleasure of bringing you an interview with a true Doctor Who luminary, Louise Jameson! From Leela on screen to Leela in Big Finish to writing for Big Finish to the fab new short film Cleaning Up to her other amazing work, she's been a wonderful and influential figure in the world of British television and theatre. Join Deb and Erika as they squee a bit about it and then hear Deb have a fabulous chat with the lovely l...
Verity! Episode 21 - A Four-tunate Choice?
August 07, 2013 17:00 - 1 hour - 60 MBHoly cats is this a big week in Verity! We cover the fourth Doctor, we chat about the little things that make us happy in the world of Doctor Who, and one more thing...what was it?...oh yeah, A NEW DOCTOR OMGWTFETC!!!!!!!! (Pardon the textual hysterics, but we’re a little bit excited.) Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we talk (or in some cases gush) about all of these things, including an in-depth review of Erika's favorite Doctor Who story of all time, "The Ribos Operation". It’s a sligh...
Verity! Extra! - Nothing 'Only' about Being a Girl...Doctor
July 31, 2013 17:00 - 34 minutes - 24.5 MBNothing sends fandom into a tizzy like thoughts of a new Doctor. Nothing sends fandom into an even bigger tizzy than that like thoughts of a *gasp* woman Doctor! Join Deb, Erika, Kat, and Liz as we discuss why this is such a hot-button issue and why we each feel the way we do about the prospect. (No, believe it or not, we do not all want a female Doctor.) ^E
Verity! Episode 20 - Yes! Master
July 24, 2013 17:00 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBThis week a slightly smaller Verity! crew tackles the Master (but not literally--except maybe in Deb's dreams). Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we cover the different iterations of the Doctor's arch enemy--from the classy to the crazy and everything in between. See who likes which Master. Find out which Master none of us likes (you can probably guess). Decide for yourself if Delgado's Master is the same as Peter Pratt's (we don't agree). ^E Also covered: The Memory Cheats - TMDWP 074! Karen ...
Verity! Extra! - Spin-off? Or Spin-out?
July 17, 2013 17:00 - 42 minutes - 29.7 MBIt's Extra! time once again! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we set our sights on Doctor Who spin-offs. Which, if any are good? Or bad? And why? Which has the best theme song? Which brought Kat into Doctor Who fandom? Which haven't we finished watching? Which is the *real* Torchwood? As usual, there's more to cover than we expected! ^E
Verity! Episode 19 - Doctor 5 Is Alive!
July 10, 2013 17:00 - 1 hour - 42.3 MBThe classic Doctor countdown continues! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we discuss the Peter Davison era--the Doctor, the companions, the stories, the relationships, and of course, the costumes. And all of these things in relation to this week's "representative" episode, "Mawdryn Undead". Who loves Doctor number five? Who loves the companions? Who thinks the companions love each other? Who doesn't? If you've been listening a while, some of those answers may be obvious, but perhaps n...
Verity! Extra! - Chicks Dig Queers Dig Time Lords
July 03, 2013 17:00 - 30 minutes - 21.6 MBApparently it's book season at Verity! For this week's Extra we bring you yet another book review. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we discuss what we thought of the latest of the "geek chronicles" from Mad Norwegian Press, Queers Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the LGBTQ Fans Who Love It. As you may expect, we don't agree about what types of essays we like best, but we do agree that this is an excellent addition to anyone's Doctor Who nonfiction library. If you want to che...
Verity! Episode 18 - Companion Confab: The Modern Woman
