Ep 178 - Tabula Rosa
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 30 minutes and 41 secondsWe 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!

Ep 166 - The Greatest Companions in the Galaxy
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 33 minutes and 3 secondsThis mini-arc may have curved all the way off the rails, but we don't care. Ace is the embodiment of this very idea, and "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" gives us plenty to talk about. Including, of course, a significant tangent about the history of clowns in popular media. Because why not?
What do you think about Ace's companion-collecting habits? And do you think she and Mags would have made a good TARDIS team? Let us know in the comments!
^E
Also covered:
- Kat highly recommends the new album from The Sevteem, The Caves (and you can hear her talk about it on Start the Music)!
- Tansy is So Excited about Doctor Who Magazine's new Time Team!
- Erika booked her flight to WorlddCon in San Jose in August!
- Deb got all warm and fuzzy seeing Sue Perkins (at the BAFTAs) praise the choice of Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor!

Ep 165 - Companions on the Orient Express
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 4 minutes and 15 secondsMini-arc #3, companions collecting women companions, starts with the realization that new-Who doesn't have many great examples of this. Join Deb, Liz, and Lynne as they discuss why that might be and how it works (or doesn't) in the case of "Mummy on the Orient Express". Poor Erika, who is absent, takes some serious guff.
What do you think about companions' companions in the modern era? Are they sparse because of lack of screen time? Is it simply a different type of storytelling? Or something else? Let us know in the comments!

Also covered:
- Lynne wants (and will get!) more 13th Doctor fiction!
- Liz flips over Derek Jacobi as the War Master in Big Finish!
- Deb loves an article in The Guardian about women directors (including Rachel Talalay)!
