Verity! Wormhole...yes, that's a thing and it's a thing you should embrace.
Thanks to a friend, I recently fell into the Verity! wormhole and I aboslutely adore this podcast and the women behind it. Not only is it refreshing to get an all female persepctive on everything Whovian, but it is also great to get six people who came into Who in a variety of ways, have different backgrounds, and offer diverging opinions. When I listen, I can completely agree with one person's position in one episode and disagree with them the next. And, where I do disagree, listening to their debates makes me think more critically about (and sometimes reassess) my own opinions, which in turn increases my enjoyment of Doctor Who. I highly recommend Verity! for those who want a podcast to which they can shout "yes, that--she is so right!" but also want to be challenged to analyze what they do and don't love about the Whoniverse. Finally, one last plug. If, like me, you are someone who came to Who through the new series and are somewhere in the journey of watching Classic Who or really trying to dive deeper into the full 50 years of fandom in any way (e.g., audios, books, conventions, etc.), the podcast also serves as a cheerleader pushing you to embrace the greater world of Who. At the same time, there are no passive aggressive undertones of "you're not fan enough unless...X, Y, Z" that might ostracize listeners who are primarily familiar with New Who. Rather, the tone is more of a "you need to watch the Troughton era because it will improve your life," which, aside from being a true statement, is a message of encouragement and not a passing of judgment on your "fan status."Read full review »

I listen to several DW 'casts, and while there's something to be said for all of them, I really appreciate the tone and perspectives of Verity! It's still all too rare for a SF-based podcast to feature ANY women, let alone all women. And these women are enthusiastic and razor-sharp....Read full review »

Being a woman who discovered Doctor Who sometime later in life than most ( in my late 40s), and not being the typical "nerd" or sci-fi buff, it is truly a pleasure for me to listen to these fun and intelligent women as they discuss all things Who. I really enjoy the conversation which...Read full review »
