Doctor Who: Verity!

Latest Episodes:

Ep 178 - Tabula Rosa Oct 25, 2018

Show notes

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 women.

How did you feel about "Rosa"? Let us know in the comments!

Happy things:

Kat loves the new "STATS!" theme song on Radio Free Skaro!
Erika
- enjoys the synchronicity of the timing of a cool Victor Pemberton-related tweet!
- discovers her MLA also watches Doctor Who!
Liz
- has spiffy new 13th Doctor badges!
- recommends Final Space!
Deb
- eagerly awaits more 10th Doctor and Donna audios from Big Finish!
- even more eagerly awaits a Big Finish Short Trips story about the 12th Doctor, written by none other than OUR VERY OWN LIZ!

Ep 177 - The Ghost Monument Valley Girls Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

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!

Happy things:

Tansy and her family lol over the Honest Trailers for classic and modern Doctor Who!
Lynne now owns a 13th Doctor coat!
Erika boggles at the viewing figures for the first Jodie Whittaker episode!

Ep 176 - The Women Who Fell to Earth Oct 11, 2018

Show notes

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 "comfrienion", and everything else? Let us know in the comments!

Happy Things:

Erika had a great time on the Doctor Who panel at Edmonton Expo, which you can hear on Radio Free Skaro episode 655!
Kat enlightens us about each Doctor's favourite type of bread!
Lynne has a 10-inch 13th Doctor action dolly with real clothes!
Deb and her family squeed about seeing Lynne and Erika on the BBC America Doctor Who pre-show!

Extra! - Liz in the Hot Seat Oct 03, 2018

Show notes

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 one. Instead of Wednesday morning (North American time), Verity! will be hitting your pod-feeds on Thursday mornings. (Scheduling across five time zones is hard, y'all!)

Tansy acquired Big Finish's Bernice Summerfield box sets!

Ep 174 - A Kicky-Stabby Remembrance Sep 12, 2018

Show notes

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!

Kat enjoyed the Marie Claire article and photoshoot with Jodie Whittaker!

Ep 173 - Let's Kicky-Stab Hitler Sep 05, 2018

Show notes

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!

Also covered:

Erika's local comic shop, Variant Edition, has a TARDIS!
Tansy (re-?)discovered a delightful fanvid!
Lynne
- adores The Time Ladies' tweet with Jodie Whittaker wearing one hell of a fashionable outfit!
- is happy to report her new kitten, Hugo, is feeling much better!
Deb is filled with hope due to the diversity behind the camera for the upcoming series of Doctor Who!

Ep 172 - The Face of Kicky-Stabby Aug 29, 2018

Show notes

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? Of this story? Of this idea for a mini-arc? Let us know in the comments!

Also covered:

Lynne
- ADOPTED A NEW KITTEN NAMED HUGO!

- had a Torchwood mini-marathon and many resulting feels!
