Verity! Extra! - Fangirls Just Wanna Have Fun

Doctor Who: Verity! - A podcast by The Verities

Categories:

With the fandom explosion(s) over the announcement of Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor, it's time for another Important Conversation on Verity! Join Deb, Erika, Kat, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk (and disagree--surprise, surprise) about what it means to be a Doctor Who fan. We say "boo" to meanness, decry gatekeeping, and debate who gets to define terms like "fangirl". It's a great conversation and further proof that it is, in fact, possible to have a reasonable discussion of a difficult topic and still remain calm and friendly.
