The Idiot's Lantern

Sara and Jeannette have some VERY special guests to talk about the Idiot's Lantern with and say several things they probably should not have in the process. I'm so fucking hungry!Tumblr: @doctorwhatpodcastBluesky: @doctorwhatpod.bsky.social

School Reunion

Will we ever stop calling the Tenth Doctor a slut? Unlikely. In this episode, we thank God "School Reunion" wasn't written by Russell T. Davies, share some exciting news about the podcast, and discuss Jeannette's out-of-body experience meeting David Tennant.

Tooth and Claw

Is Ten making Rose worse? Does Russell T Davies have a scat fetish (please don't sue us for defamation)? Let's discuss. Follow us on our Instagram: @doctor.what.podcast And our Tumblr: @doctorwhatpodcast

New Earth

Sara and Jeannette take a trip to New New York. Our praises for Tennant have tamed, but we still have them in spades. Featuring: cat nuns, Billie Piper's fantastic acting, and the Queen of Cunt herself, Lady Cassandra.

The Christmas Invasion

Aaaaaand we're back! Do you have normal feelings about David Tennant? Yeah, neither do we. For our Christmas in July episode, we completely lose our minds over the Tenth Doctor for half an hour. If you’re David Tennant or my mom, for the love of god, please skip this.  Tumblr: @doctorwhatpodcast Instagram: @doctor.what.podcast

The Parting of the Ways

We've made it to the series finale. Sara and Jeannette welcome their new British listeners, rave over Rose and Jack's character development thus far, and dive into Christopher Eccleston's beef with the BBC. After this episode, we will be going on a two-month hiatus. We'll return with our episode on The Christmas Invasion in July for a Christmas in July special. See you soon!

Bad Wolf

The end is nigh...the Doctor, Rose, and Jack find their way back to Satellite 5. Sara is blinded by their thirst for Jane Lynch, Jeannette introduces us to the world of "'nyming," and we all rage over the lack of Captain Jack Harkness cheeks.

Boom Town

In this episode, the Doctor takes a sorrowful Slitheen to dinner (in bondage). It’s so good that she…turns into an egg? We don’t know either. Sara and Jeannette ask the big questions: Does Doctor Who promote unprotected sex? And do these big green aliens have anything in common with a pair of incestuous anime twins? Let’s discuss. (Also, sorry to British people for the jokes made at the end of this episode. We don’t mean it. You’re allotted one (1) joke about our accents).

The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances

In this episode, the Doctor and Rose travel to 1940s England to meet their new boytoy. Sara and Jeannette take on a New Who classic and dare to ask the question: is it really all that? No matter how you feel, though, we’re all salivating over Captain Jack Harkness.  Doctor who vs women: https://youtu.be/-qUmy7XFeUY?si=tjouE_NC0Bfr-QGe

Father's Day

In this episode, Rose and the Doctor hop into the TARDIS and take a journey to the center of Rose’s daddy issues. Sara and Jeannette praise Murray Gold’s musical genius and continue to scream about Rose and the Doctor’s relationship. Did you cry? We cried.

The Long Game

In this episode, the Doctor, Rose, and Adam travel to the future, and….stuff happens? Humanity is threatened by a screaming, fanged blob named Max and…Shaun of the Dead? Sara and Jeannette shit on Adam and try to piece together what the hell was going through Russell T Davies’s head when he wrote this.

Dalek

In this latest episode, an upside-down trash can armed with a plunger and a whisk is out for blood. Sara and Jeannette explore incredibly relevant questions, like: what pronouns do you Daleks use? And will Rose Tyler ever stop being drop-dead gorgeous? We only know the answer to one of those, and it’s no.

World War Three

The Slitheen have sunk their grubby capitalist claws into England’s government! How will our heroes prevail? In this episode, Sara and Jeannette assemble the Mickey defense squad once again, talk about fascism, and touch upon Superwholock brain rot.

Aliens of London

Can Billie Piper be homophobic? Nah. In this episode, aliens crash into Big Ben, Rose calls the Doctor gay, and Sara and Jeannette lose their minds over the underrated campy genius of it all. Plus, Sara's audio is better! Yay!

The Unquiet Dead

Sara and Jeannette dive headfirst into this wild sci-fi ghost story. If you want weird tangents on puppy boys, Lorax song parodies, an more deep dives into Rose and the Doctor's developing relationship dynamics, you have weirdly specific tastes, but you're in the right place.

The End of the World

The Doctor takes Rose on their first date — to watch her planet explode. Sara and Jeannette discuss the power of practical effects, the Doctor's "jiggery-pokery," and the weird turn in Rose's character development.

12-13
37:42

Rose

A Doctor in a blue box lands in London to investigate plastic aliens, and Rose Tyler's life is never the same. Sara and Jeannette discuss the campy joys of maniacal manikins, gush over Rose Tyler's characer, and don their tinfoil hats for a digression on JFK's assassination.

An Update

There's a lot going on in our lives (besides the fascist takeover of the United States). A little update for the show. Apologies for Sara's terrible audio quality. They forgot how to properly connect their mic. Follow our socials: @doctorwhatpodcast on Tumblr @doctorwhatpodcast.bsky.social on Bluesky
