  • Verity! Episode 47 - Political Science Fiction

    This week we are sadly Deb-free, but we forge ahead without our fearless leader. Join Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we discuss the role of politics in Doctor Who. How big a role does politics play in Who? Turns out, a bigger role than some (or at least one) of us expected. How do we feel about the Doctor getting involved? That seems to depend largely on context.

    What do you think about the role of politics in Doctor Who throughout the ages? And what are your thoughts on the Doctor's role in politics? Let us know in the comments!

    VerityExtraBFWriters210We at Verity! often jabber on about Big Finish, but this time we thought we'd let some experts do the jabbering for us. Join Deb, Erika, and Liz (who is actually one of the experts in question) as we chat with a couple special guests. Yes, we have not one, not two, but three Big Finish writers in the house! Una McCormack makes an overdue return, and we're delighted to welcome Caroline Symcox to the podcast!

    If you've ever been curious about what the Big Finish process is like, this is the Extra! for you. And if you have a favorite BF audio, do tell us in the comments. We're always all ears for recommendations (and specifically, recs for where to start)!

    Also, do you like free stuff? Well, then be sure to enter our Big Finish giveaway! Three people will win download codes for three different stories (Breaking Bubbles and Other Stories, The Council of Nicaea, and Starborn [by Jacqueline Rayner]), and a fourth lucky winner will win codes for all three!

    Twitter entries are preferred: use "#BreakingBubbles from @bigfinish" to enter! If you're not on Twitter, we'll accept comment entries here as well. (No other social media though. Two entry sources are enough to comb through. Wouldn't want to miss anybody!)

  • Episode 46 - Communication Breakdown

    16 July 2014 (12:30pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 12 minutes and 32 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    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!

    This week's Extra! features crossover madness! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy, as we muse over what it would be like to plop the Doctor into other fictional worlds. What makes a good crossover? Which Verity isn't really comfortable with crossovers? Which coins the term "Capaldi-flicted"? And which observes that Capaldi "gives good cape"? Listen and see!

    Then let us know in the comments what fictional worlds you'd like to see the Doctor (and/or his companions) visit. Inquiring Verities want to know!

  • Verity! Episode 45 - Mechanical Meanies

    2 July 2014 (12:30pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 15 minutes and 14 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    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. We thank you for your patience, and will try to have things back to normal next week!)

    For this Extra!, we turn to yet another silly what-if-type question. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, Liz, and Lynne as we plan how we'd each take over the world/galaxy/universe. Which Doctor Who villains would we recruit as henchmen? What kind of evil master-plans would we employ? Would any of us stand a chance of successful conquest?

    How would you go about taking over? Let us know in the comments!

    It's almost summertime! Unless you live in the Southern Hemisphere where it's almost wintertime! In either case, it's a great time to start thinking about what you'll read while on the beach/in front of the fire (or anywhere else really). Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we talk about the Doctor Who books we've Quite Enjoyed. It's mostly non-fiction, but there's some made-up stuff for you here as well if you like stories in your books.

    (Links on our site:)

    • Tansy recommends Adventures with the Wife in Space: Living with Doctor Who, by Neil Perryman
    • Erika adores Who's 50: The 50 Doctor Who Stories to Watch Before You Die-an Unofficial Companion, by Graeme Burk and Robert Smith?
    • Liz's fandom was shaped by The Doctor Who Discontinuity Guide, by Paul Cornell, Martin Day, and Keith Topping
    • Deb enjoyed the thoroughness of the About Time series, by Tat Wood, et al. and the Viking-ness of Dark Horizons, by Jenny Colgan

    Let us know in the comments what Doctor Who books you recommend!

    It's almost summertime! Unless you live in the Southern Hemisphere where it's almost wintertime! In either case, it's a great time to start thinking about what you'll read while on the beach/in front of the fire (or anywhere else really). Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we talk about the Doctor Who books we've Quite Enjoyed. It's mostly non-fiction, but there's some made-up stuff for you here as well if you like stories in your books.

    • Tansy recommends Adventures with the Wife in Space: Living with Doctor Who, by Neil Perryman
    • Erika adores Who's 50: The 50 Doctor Who Stories to Watch Before You Die-an Unofficial Companion, by Graeme Burk and Robert Smith?

    This 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, who won our giveaway of Paul Cornell's new novel, The Severed Streets!

    It'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 "Vengeance on Varos". What would she sacrifice it for? Listen and see!

    This 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-chewing?

    Now the usual chit-chat is out of the way, let's get on to more important things, like a CONTEST! If you want to win a copy of Paul Cornell's new novel The Severed Streets, leave us a comment below and let us know! (Personal recommendation: Do enter to win! I really enjoyed the first book, London Falling, and I can't wait to dig into this one!)

    • Katrina snapped up the Humble Doctor Who Comics Bundle!
    • Erika is thrilled to hear the 12th Doctor won't flirt!

    Deadly 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 "Those Deadly Divas", so if you haven't seen it, don't fear, there's plenty here for you too. Add our "happy-Who-things", plus a special announcement, and you've got yourself a rollicking episode of Verity!

    Oh, and shout-out to the iTunes review that inspired this week's title.

    9 April 2014 (12:30pm GMT)

    This 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?

    Also covered [links on our site]:
    Liz discovers what might be the most useless Dalek tat ever!
    Erika tells Macworld magazine how to create your own podcast!
    Lynne must have K-9 slippers!
    Deb is (saddened, but also) gladdened by the warmth of the Doctor Who fan community after the passing of Glynn Jones and Derek Martinus.

  • Verity! Extra! - The Rani, Remembered

    2 April 2014 (12:30pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 28 minutes and 33 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    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?
