A TARDIS of One’s Own

E28: 42 & Telling the truth

The vibes were I N T E N S E in episode 7 of season 3! It's just go, go, go and people lie, lie, lie. So we took a moment to talk about honesty, telling the truth, and when it's ok to lie.

E27: The Lazarus Experiment & Obsession with youth

We're back on earth for this episode, and discussing a very earthly concern - the obsession with youth! Women are forced to care cause you essenitally become invisible if you don't... but maybe it comes down to no one wanting to be reminded of their own mortality? Lots to unpack... but somehow we also end up talking about vampires and The Sound of Music for ages. Enjoy!

E26: Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks & Adapting to survive

It's Martha's first two-part adventure and we are yet again in New York; the old timey one this time. As the Doctor faces his old mates the Daleks, we're faced with an interesting question about what survival means and how far you'd go to do it. Tangential chats about the wealth inequity, Jen's future husband Andrew Garfield, how lightsabers are made and not to scale earth representation.

E25: Gridlock & Faith

Buckle up, the traffic is wild this week as we return to New Earth in Gridlock. An episode with cats, humans and cat humans, and Martha showing unwavering faith in the Doctor. Which made us think about the Doctor as a figure of faith, and faith in general - cue lots of chats about tarot and astrology as expressions of queer faith.

E24: The Shakespeare Code & Witchcraft and female collaboration

Double double toil and trouble, join us around our metaphorical cauldron this week as we watch The Shakespeare Code and chat about witchcraft and female collaboration. The patriarchy wins when it keeps us apart! There's also a slight Harry Potter diversion because... unavoidable.

E23: Smith and Jones & Competence

Sorry we're a day late! And also sorry about the sound. Don't know what to tell ya. We had a time this week. BUT what a great topic to tackle as we're introduced to the exceedingly competent Martha Jones for the first time! We love her.

E22: The Runaway Bride & Manipulation

Christmas spirit is pretty hard to come by in March, but it's also pretty marginal in this Christmas special. Also, in general, this episode has some extra energy which is also what this podcast episode has. A treat for us all! This week, we chat about manipulation - both in the sense of manipulating people and systems manipulating us. But then we also talk about Drive to Survive and NZ quirks like the tendency to physically move houses and being cashless. Make of that what you will.

E21: Army of Ghosts/Doomsday & Grief

Apologies for accidentally disappearing for a month, but we are BACK! And we're wrapping up season 2 in a suitably grim way - we're discussing the two part finale of Army of Ghosts and Doomsday through the theme of grief. And Jen compares The Doctor to some dude on Love Island. Good times.

E20: Fear Her & Loneliness

It's a new year but not a new us - we're still descending into chaos almost as soon as we start recording. We're discussing Fear Her this week, the one where kids are disappearing off the street cause a young girl is transporting them into her drawings. How? Why? Loneliness! So that's what we're talking about for this ep. Also the value of a good road surface which Kel the Council Worker understands.

E19: Love and Monsters & Found Family

We're talking about Love and Monsters this week, the first Who-lite episode of the RTD era. It's a tonal shift, focusing on Elton and the misfits of LINDA. It's that time of year were we're all suddenly faced with pressures around family and togetherness and what that means so we took the opportunity to talk about found family.
We're taking a wee break over the summer and will be back in the new year. Happy holidays!
