| 11 Mar 2015 | Ep 70 - Intellectual Squee-quals | 01:27:24 | |
That's right. We're pretty excited about this week's companion topic. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about the most educated companions--the academics, the doctors, the scientists, and more. What is it about them that makes them appealing? Is there anything that can be off-putting to audiences? Does Romana count? The answer to that last one is debated hotly (but laughingly)! What do you think of the brainier companions? Do you see yourself in them? Or do you seem them being too full of their own capabilities? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered [links on our site]:

| 22 Apr 2015 | Extra! - Sophie's So Ace | 00:37:24 | |
For this week we had the opportunity to talk to the delightful Sophie Aldred, and we couldn't make you wait for that--especially because her Kickstarter for Strangeness in Space still has a few days to go. Do check it out if you're a fan of sci-fi, comedy, and/or audio goodness! She chats to Deb about that fantastic project, her time as Ace (both on screen and in Big Finish), and what it's like attending conventions and interacting with fans. It's a wonderful conversation, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have! ^E | |||
| 07 Apr 2021 | Extra! - This or That - Personal Preferences | 00:57:30 | |
It's been a while since we've this or thatted! Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we systematically determine some of our preferences when it comes to our beloved show. Many thanks to Graeme Burk of Reality Bomb for his help! And as always, a billion thanks to friends of the show Sage and Kim from Head Over Feels for showing us the glory that is This or That! What are your Doctor Who preferences? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments! ^E Liz's Big Finish work! | |||
| 06 Mar 2013 | Verity! Extra!-min-Eight | 00:49:13 | |
This extra-long Verity! Extra! picks right up where we left off last week. Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy leave the TV movie behind and spend some time talking about the bulk of the Eighth Doctor's work--the audios and books. There's even a brief mention of the comics. Erika reveals how little she knows about these (read: nothing), and many suggestions are offered regarding where to start. ^E Jumping-on audio suggestions: Deb - Blood of the Daleks Liz - Seasons of Fear Tansy - Storm Warning | |||
| 09 Oct 2013 | Stuff We Like! | 00:38:19 | |
PLEASE 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 have a good squee. [all links on our site] Kat Erika Liz Deb ^E | |||
| 09 Jun 2021 | Extra! - Trivial Pursuit - New Box! | 00:34:19 | |
Deb has a new version of Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit! Join Deb, Kat, Lynne, and Tansy as they play some more trivia! How would you have done on these questions? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments! ^E Extra-special thanks to this week's editor, Steven Schapansky of Castria! | |||
| 02 Feb 2022 | Planet of Fire the TCE | 01:18:33 | |
Hold me closer, tiny Master! Join Deb, Erika, and Lynne as we discuss another Fifth Doctor story and dive into the history of the Master's favourite toy, the tissue compression eliminator. This story also sees the departure of one companion and the arrival of another! How do you feel about "Planet of Fire" and the TCE? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments! ^E Happy things:

| 29 Apr 2015 | Ep 73 - Farewell (& Not-So-Well), Companions | 01:27:03 | |
We thought this provided some nice symmetry with our episode about companion arrivals. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about how companions leave the TARDIS. Many are forced out, some choose to leave, a few even die. We have some definite favorites and some just-as-definite least favorites. Also, Deb objectifies hair and Lynne wants to spray King Yrcanos with a spray bottle. It's lots of good fun! What's your favorite/least-favorite way to see a companion take their leave of the Doctor? Which stories do you love, and which don't hold water? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered [links on our site]:

| 22 Nov 2018 | Ep 182 - Kerblam!! | 00:55:26 | |
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 Beijing" | |||
| 21 Jun 2017 | Episode 142 - The Death Eaters of Light | 01:09:38 | |
What a fascinating discussion this week's Doctor Who episode lends itself to. Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we discuss women who are allowed to fail and still be heroes, the sexual politics of Romans, the Doctor's (possible?) impatience, Bill's outlook on history and its denizens, Nardole as a "space tourist", and much more. Erika, of all people, even has a cracktastic fan theory about the next season of the show. Incredibly unlikely, but kinda fun, depending on your outlook.
What did you think about this story? Was it slight? Were the stakes high? Was the monster the point? Was the doctor impatient or irritable or something else? What's up with Missy? SO MANY QUESTIONS. Please feel free to play in the comment section like it's one big happy fandom sandbox. ^E Also covered:

| 24 Feb 2016 | 103 - How to Watch Doctor Who | 01:28:42 | |
Editor's note: We recorded this before the Amazon Prime/Crave TV news dropped! Appropriate links below. We've touched on it before, but in our year of firsts, we thought it worth revisiting--where do you recommend people start watching Doctor Who? And how can folks (especially in the US) find it to watch? Join Deb Erika, and Tansy as we dive deep into both halves of this tricky equation. There are many different strategies to get folks to join us in loving Doctor Who, but there are few ways to watch it--and even fewer now that Hulu and Netflix in the US have lost all DW titles. How do you start new viewers on Doctor Who? Do you base it on the person, or do you have a go-to story? And where do you recommend they find what you want them to watch?

| 18 Jul 2018 | Ep 170 - Warriors' Gate Against Guns | 01:24:59 | |
Back in March, we were proud to participate in the Who Against Guns movement. We helped other Doctor Who podcasters raise over $20,000 to support gun control. In the course of that effort, several donors won rewards from the participating podcasts. Our winner, Dr. Thomas Rodebaugh, asked us to talk about one of his favorite DW stories, "Warriors' Gate". Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we dig into this incredibly juicy story. Also covered:

| 08 May 2019 | Extra! - Who Complete Three | 00:41:58 | |
We haven't played "Who Complete Me" since 2017, and it's high time we brought it back. Sadly, people who search for things on the internet haven't gotten any less ridiculous since then. Special thanks to Steve Lutz of Low Definition for inventing this ridiculous game! ^E | |||
| 09 Sep 2015 | Ep 86 - The First of Peladon | 01:12:01 | |
We close out our companion miniseries in fine style with Liz's pick, "The Curse of Peladon". Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we discuss Jo's merits as a companion. They are many--especially in this story. There's a lot of Jo love, dissension among the ranks as to which Peladon story is better, and even some soul-searching. It's quite an episode! What do you think about Jo? Is she as awesome as the Verities think? Or do you still see her as a useless screamer? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered [links on our site]:

| 02 Apr 2014 | Verity! Extra! - The Rani, Remembered | 00:28:33 | |
This 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 | |||
| 13 Nov 2013 | Verity! Extra! - In Defense of 'Fear Her' | 00:31:46 | |
We 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 | |||
| 21 Jul 2021 | Our Ladies of The Visitation | 01:02:32 | |
It's time for more Comfort Who -- this time from Lynne! Join Deb, Erika, Kat, and Lynne as we discuss a story that turns out to be pretty comfort-filled for all involved! Is this story a Comfort Who story for you? Why or why not? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments! ^E Happy Things:

2018 brings another new Verity! feature: Perfect Match, in which a Verity selects a classic Who story and a modern Who story that go together...for whatever reason. Join Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we compare and contrast Tansy's perfect match: "The Romans" and "The Fires of Pompeii". What ties do you see between these two stories?

| 09 Nov 2022 | Extra! - Everywhere in Neverwhere | 00:50:37 | |
Remember our "Who Adjacent" features, where we'd pick a non-DoctorWho property with some Who DNA? Join Deb, Erika, Kat, and Tansy as we talk about Erika's pick, Neverwhere which has so many relations to Doctor Who they're practically first cousins. From Peter Capaldi as the Angel Islington to the series being created by a Who actor (Lenny Henry) and a Who writer (Neil Gaiman), there are connections galore, and we dive deep! Just like Neverwhere does under London. Have you seen Neverwhere? Or read/listened to it? What did you think? Did you notice any Who connections we didn't mention?

| 27 Nov 2019 | 210 - Asylum of The Daleks' Master Plan | 01:21:36 | |
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 mess? A beloved Doctor Who romp or BOTH? And what is your preferred method for consuming this phantom of a story? Leave us a comment or send us a tweet and let us know how you feel about Bret, Sara, The Meddling Monk or any one of the other 1,183 plot points in "The Daleks' Master Plan"? ^D Happy Things:

No, that title doesn't mean we're fighting amongst ourselves (though it's true we're not in total agreement about this week's topic). Join Deb, Erika, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about Richard Marson's new biography of Verity Lambert, Drama and Delight: The Life of Verity Lambert. Verity did an awful lot more than just launching Doctor Who. Her successes ranged from television to cooking to friendship. We chat about it all and discuss whether we thought the book succeeds as a biography. Will you be running out to nab this book? Let us know in the comments! ^E Related links [on our site]: | |||

It's finally here! New episodes of Doctor Who are rolling out at long last. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we try to remember how to talk about new episodes of our favorite show. Who am I kidding, we not only talk about it, we talk about it a LOT. But hey, what did you expect? New series! New Doctor! We just couldn't help ourselves! And surprise! We don't agree! Who loves Clara's reaction to the Doctor's regeneration? Who doesn't? Listen and see! And let us know what you think about the new Doctor and his introductory story!

We've pulled another delightful interview out of the vault! Deb had the pleasure of speaking with Jemma Redgrave at LI Who in 2016. Join Deb and Erika as we chat about the con and then listen as Deb talks to Jemma about how badly she wanted a part on Doctor Who, how she made her children watch the classic series, having a family of actors, and of course, lots about Kate Stewart! (And more!) ^E Related link: | |||

More favourites! Join Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we dip into the 1960s and agonize over our favourite seven stories. This was painful, but nothing was more painful than when one of Erika's picks seriously broke Liz. Liz has broken more than once on Verity!, but this may bring it to a new level.

| 30 Nov 2016 | Extra - Happy Things at Chicago TARDIS | 00:25:33 | |
Chicago TARDIS was, once again, a delightful experience for Lynne and Erika. They are joined by honorary-Verity, Amber Ensign (Erika's sister!) as they discuss what made this year's con great. Apologies if you were expecting a special live version of "In Defense Of". We had a blast doing it on the main stage this year, but the tech gods were not with us, alas.

Una is most definitely One Of Us--a fascinating fangirl with loads of talent to accompany her deep love for Doctor Who.

It'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 Snowmen Target novelisation, & the one Tansy is reading to Jemima is The Ice Warriors.

There was some definite "iffy" territory to cover as well. What did you think of "Empress of Mars"? Was it rollicking, fanservicey fun?

While counting down to the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who is a noble and important effort, we thought it was a good idea to take a few minutes from time to time to discus something else—in this case, something fun! Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy dish about the duds of many a companion throughout the years. The TARDIS wardrobe must've been one helluva place!

I should be clearer--Tom and Lalla did these Australian commercials AS the Doctor and Romana. And they are a glorious thing to behold. If you haven't already seen them, do yourself a favor!

It's another villaintastic episode of Verity! This time we're talking about machines--computers, robots, and androids who want to do very bad things. Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we use "The Robots of Death" as a jumping-off point for our discussion. It's a great place to start, as it deals not only with robots themselves, but their integration into society. From there we jump to their integration into stories, and after that, we're all over the map: WOTAN! BOSS! Tara! Smilers! And much much more! There's also a wee bit of irony at work in this ep. A technical issue prevented the excision of some coughing. (Deb had a cold.) This would be merely unfortunate, but it's catapulted into the realm of irony when Erika boasts of her cough-muting prowess...and then can't mute the coughs. Such hubris. Never tempt fate in front of the podcast gods. Lesson learned. (That same technical issue accounts for the somewhat iffy sound quality in this ep.
