Could Be A 5 Star Podcast

“This is a podcast I like for a number of reasons. Immersive and intricate, it examines subjects I have not heard discussed elsewhere in Doctor Who fandom, plus its voice varies from one episode to the next, meaning it isn't always the same group of individuals, thereby preventing predictability.
I’ve listened to more than a dozen episodes of Doctor Who: Verity! which is to say I’m not one to review a podcast after experiencing just an episode or two. I’m also not one to name names because I don’t want my remarks to be taken as personal criticism of an individual, so without getting too specific, in the most general terms I can find, please let me convey what I don't like about this podcast...
At times, one voice (in this group) has a tendency to be the final word on whatever the group is discussing, all but declaring a hive mind verdict or view on a given subject when clearly others in the group think differently.
This rattles me as a podcast listener in the same way I am rattled as a viewer of TV news, when the moment a press conference ends a ‘reporter’ begins telling me what I just witnessed. I don't need a commentator to translate facts. I can 'digitally rewind' a podcast in whole or in part to replay bits I may not understand on the 1st, 2nd or 13th playing.
What's even more perplexing is when a commentator inaccurately reiterates what others have said.
At the conclusion of each episode listeners are encouraged to submit feedback so as to expand the conversation, however I can not recall a single instance where listener feedback was either read into or played into the 12 or 13 episodes I’ve listened to.
As much as I would like to continue hearing more of this podcast I have decided to give it a rest.
I firmly believe Doctor Who: Verity! could be a 5 star podcast, however my ranking places it in the middle ground at 3 stars.”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 »

“When I heard there was a podcast with a bunch of clever women talking about Doctor Who, I was intrigued and started following it. And here I am, a couple of years later, still listening. This is a perfect mix of celebration, evaluation and well thought through criticism. Verity! honours a TV show...”Read full review »

“Two hours of 5 fan girls with exactly the same attitudes and opinions squeal and giggle non stop about River's shoes and how cute David Tenant is. Reviews? Everything is fantastic and Doctor Who can do no wrong, of course! One of the most annoying podcasts I've ever heard. I'd...”Read full review »
