Our First Repeat! - Episode 46 - Communication Breakdown
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 19 minutes and 22 secondsBecause of the emotional ups and (mostly downs) of the last week in the world, the Verities did not have it in them to do a podcast--about love or anything else. Instead, we're releasing our first re-run. Join Deb and Erika as we give a short intro explaining why we've chosen to re-release this particular episode. At this time in history, we feel it's really important.
The conversation Deb talks about in the intro starts at 49:12, so feel free to skip to that if you only want to hear the truly relevant bit. We hope you enjoy!
As always, comments are welcome--especially messages of hope, perseverance, and love.

This week we do lots of talking about villains who don't. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we discuss what makes silent villains so creepy and effective. We also discover just how many Moffat-baddies are non-talkers (or mostly non-talkers). And do stick around for a particularly interesting tangent about gender roles and power dynamics in communication. This Verity! ep gets positively analytical! Almost scholarly! Almost.
And of course, let us know who your favorite quiet killers are-or weigh in on the deeper debate about communication in general. Or both!

Also covered:
- ALL the verities are over the moon about the release of Liz's Big Finish debut: Breaking Bubbles and Other Stories!

Extra! - 2017: Love and Lasts
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 22 minutes and 10 secondsIt's a short, intimate Extra! today. Join Deb and Erika as we introduce our topic for 2017. We'll be mirroring 2016's theme of "firsts" by talking about "lasts" and endings. We'll talk about the final appearances of companions, Doctors, behind-the-scenes folks, and possibly other items! But we don't want a year of downers (let's face it, many goodbyes are sad sad sad), so we're balancing that with the theme of "love". We'll also talk about love in Doctor Who as well as things we love about it!
And of course, we'll be talking about series 10 when that airs. Hooray for new episodes of our show!
What firsts and loves would you like to hear us yammer on about? Let us know in the comments!
Here's to a happy 2017 for all of us!

Extra - Happy Things at Chicago TARDIS
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 25 minutes and 33 secondsChicago 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.
If you were there in person and would like to share some memories of the con, please feel free to do so in the comments!
