Season 4 of The Moment is on its way! But it is not quite ready yet. In the meantime, we're revisiting some episodes from previous seasons of The Moment. This week, we revisit episode 2.03 with Deb Stanish (http://www.themomentpod.com/guests/deb-stanish), to discuss a moment from 2005's The Parting of the Ways, the finale of Christopher Eccleston's first and only season as the Doctor. We discuss how Rose's perspective really spoke to Deb's personal history, the Doctor's history of putting companions' safety before their agency, and the aspects of the scene that some fans find troublingly classist. Special Guest: Deb Stanish.
NPR Books Editor Petra Mayer, who has been a longtime contributor to Reality Bomb, died suddenly on November 13. In this special episode Graeme Burk is joined by the Verity! podcast's Deb Stanish to remember Petra and the special enthusiasm she had for Doctor Who. We revisit the highlights of Petra's 26 appearances on the program, and represent four complete segments including Petra's first time on the program, doing a Gallery of the Underrated on the Sylvester McCoy story The Happiness Patrol way back in episode 013 (July 2014); Petra's stinging critique of the lack of women writers in Doctor Who from episode 018 (December 2014); Petra and Deb Stanish at our second New York City live show talking about the enduring power of regeneration in Doctor Who back in episode 038 (September 2016); and finally we have Petra's contribution to our "Variations on a Timeless Child" episode (083) on a retcon that did not please her (to put it mildly) from September 2020. Petra Mayer will be missed by Doctor Who fans everywhere.
We took a break from the news last week to revel in Gallifrey One events of the past and to look forward to better times in the future, so this week we catch up with all the news we missed, including several Big Finish releases, new books, But let’s get to the heart of this thing, as Hunter S.

Today, Rachel is joined by Deb Stanish, co-host of the Beginners Puck Podcast, to discuss the fallout from Game 5 in the Flyers series vs. Montreal.

This week, Deb Stanish of Verity! joins us to banter about news of a transmediatastic multiplatformeriffic project called “Time Lord: Victorious” which will span novels, comics, audio and escape rooms (somehow) and may be just the thing to fill the void left by No Doctor Who for the next little while! And if that’s not enough, how about some “The Power of the Daleks” Blu-ray news, a “Dalek” (by Rob Shearman) prequel, and another Dalek prequel (sort of) in the form of parts three and four of our commentary for “Frontier in Space” with friend of the show Kyle Anderson!

This week, I'm joined by Deb Stanish (http://www.themomentpod.com/guests/deb-stanish), to discuss a moment from 2005's The Parting of the Ways, the finale of Christopher Eccleston's first and only season as the Doctor. We discuss how Rose's perspective really spoke to Deb's personal history, the Doctor's history of putting companions' safety before their agency, and the aspects of the scene that some fans find troublingly classist. You can follow Deb on Twitter at @DebStanish (http://twitter.com/DebStanish). Special Guest: Deb Stanish.
Each week on The Moment, I speak with a different guest about an individual moment in an episode of Doctor Who that means a lot to them. This trailer includes audio from upcoming episodes featuring guests Houman Sadri, Mikayla Micomonaco, Rachel T, Chas Lilly, Erika Ensign, Connie Gibbs, Deb Stanish, Chip Sudderth, and Sage Young. (It also features audio from Doctor Who, obviously.) Season 2 of The Moment begins on July 3rd, 2019. As always, the best thing you can do to help support the show is to recommend it to someone you think might enjoy it. But this year you can also support the show with money, on Patreon (http://patreon.com/themomentpod). For now there are no special benefits associated with being a Patron, it’s just a way for you to support the show if you’re interested, But when I reach $50 per episode, I’ll start doing bonus episodes every two months, and I might add other goals or rewards in the future. Please note that the Moment’s Patron does charge per episode, some Patreons charge per month, but this one is going to charge you each time I put out a regular non-bonus episode of the show. So that should be once a week for thirteen weeks, and then not at all, for a few months, until the show starts again for season 3. I did that because I didn’t want it to charge anyone for months when the show is not being produced. And if you would like to support the show but don’t want to make it a recurring thing of it, you can head over to Ko-Fi (http://ko-fi.com/themomentpod) and do that there. I want to stress that the show is free, and it will always be free, and you do not need to pay for it unless you want to. If you do choose to throw a little money my way, know that I am grateful. However, regardless of whether you choose to support the show on Patreon, please also use your money to support causes that make a real difference in the world. I suggest donating to an organization like the American Civil Liberties Union (http://aclu.org), or the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (http://raicestexas.org). You may recall that the first episode of The Moment ended with an editorial about the crisis at the southern US border, and in the year since then things have not gotten any better. And if you’re looking for something else to do with your money then might I suggest you donate to organizations that support transgender rights, like Mermaids UK (https://www.mermaidsuk.org.uk), which advocates for transgender youths in the UK, and the Transgender Law Center (https://www.transgenderlawcenter.org), an org that advocates for trans rights laws and policies in the US. Trans folks are a vital part of the Doctor Who fan community, and in the past month or so, there have been some rather distressing instances of people with platforms in that community spouting bigoted, transphobic rhetoric or normalizing transphobia. And a recent report from the BBC (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-48756370), indicating that anti-transgender hate crimes across the UK are up 81% from where they were two years ago, serves as a reminder of the consequences that this rhetoric can have, and the reason it’s important to protect our transgender friends in the Doctor Who fan community and the world at large. Like I’ve said in the past, my primary goal for the Moment is not to serve as a political soapbox. But the Second Doctor said it best: “There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things. Things that act against everything we believe in. They must be fought.” That’s all for now, follow the show at @themomentpod (http://twitter.com/themomentpod) on twitter, support the show on Patreon (http://patreon.com/themomentpod) And stay tuned, because season 2 will be with you, in a Moment.
El sits down with Deb Stanish of the Verity! podcast to talk about one of Doctor Who's most troubling episodes in memory.
Remembering Michael Pickwoad; defining "problematic faves" - ALYSSA: (talks to Chip about her suggestion for a series about Problematic Faves) CHIP: (dictates a response via Siri, which changes the text to ‘Problematic Babes’) ALYSSA: “Yup, there’s our episode title.” We return from our unexpected hiatus in time travel bringing you Rachel Talalay, who joins Alyssa to celebrate the late Michael Pickwoad. Also, we launch a new segment about those episodes that we both enjoy and cringe at, simultaneously. Reality Bomb’s Joy Piedmont and Verity!’s Deb Stanish are here to help us define Problematic Faves. Host Chip Sudderth and Alyssa Franke with Rachel Talalay, Joy Piedmont and Deborah Stanish.
The Twelfth Doctor Retrospective - Our Doctor retrospective series concludes with, of course, the Twelfth Doctor.

Host Chip Sudderth and Alyssa Franke with Deborah Stanish.
On the fifty-fourth edition of Reality Bomb we have a special live episode recorded at the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles with Graeme Burk and Joy Piedmont. We start off by looking to the future of Doctor Who with Sage Young, Tai Gooden and Simon Fraser. In celebrating 30 years of Perivale's finest citizen, we have a quiz about all things Ace with Paul Cornell, Felicity Kuzinitz, Rob Shearman and Rachel Donner. Controversy comes to the Gallery of the Underrated (live in the room!) when the Verity! podcast's Erika Ensign offers The Ribos Operation for consideration. We have a live edition of Listener's Letters adjudicated by Paul Cornell and a bonus quiz with Shannon Dohar and Deb Stanish. Plus we have a double shot comedy from Kim Rogers, Andy Hicks, Felicity Kuzinitz, Edie Nugent, Chip Sudderth, Liz Myles, Bill Evenson, Robert Smith? and special guest star Richard Ashton!

The podcast will only be released to listeners who provide a donation to an organization committed to ending gun violence. For more details visit the Who Against Guns webpage.
It's a few days late, but MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is back to wrap up the final day of 2018's edition of the amazing Gallifrey One convention. It was a day that transcended, due to an amazing panel called "Gallifrey Waits No More" featuring all of the ladies of Doctor Who (in front and behind the camera) at the convention (and moderated by the amazing Deb Stanish) that turned into a cathartic and harrowingly real and emotional session. We talk about that and our reactions on this podcast (and we'll go in more detail on this and Gally in general with guests in the weeks to come). Also, we talk about Alyssa Franke's heartfelt recap of the panel, and there's a link here to that post: Whovian Feminism on GWNM. We'll also talk about the great Kaffeeklatsch with Rachel Talalay and Sarah Dollard that we were fortunate enough to attend; Will's meet-and-greet with Jemma Redgrave; and all of the rest of the Sunday goings-on. Please have a listen!
A very rusty Will and John check in from Sunday Morning at GallifreyOne. We talk about the highlights from Saturday, including "This or That" with Jemma Redgrave, Camille Coduri and Sage and Kim from Head Over Feels," Moffat commentaries, RealityBomb live recording, panels, the miracle moderator that is Deb Stanish and much much more. Listen, won't you?
With barely contained enthusiasm, we charge the proverbial castle walls in our rewatch of the opener for Doctor Who's Season 11, "The Time Warrior", joined by Deb Stanish of the Verity! Podcast.
Break out the feather boas and start calling everything "Jimmy" because this month, Erik and Kyle are finishing their look at the Cybermen in Classic Doctor Who with the 1968 story, "The Invasion." But, oh no, they are not taking on this eight-episode epic alone; they've got the added brilliance of Verity! Podcast's own Deb Stanish to help break down all the ins and outs, from Tobias Vaughn's arrogance to Packer's frazzledness to Isobel's perceived flightiness. Oh, and Cybermen too.
We're back to the "real world" from a DELIGHTFUL GALLIFREY ONE Doctor Who Convention (the 28th!), and we're continuing recapping the con and keeping that GALLYLOVE vibe going with our great friends Sage Young and Kim Rogers of HeadOverFeels.com ! We'll focus on their throughts on this year's shindig and specifically their participation in panels, podcasts, games, cosplay, etc! Kim talks about her participation in Paul Cornell's "Would I Lie To You" game and her triumphant stint during "In Defense of..." PLUS her turn as the maniacally cruel BBC America executive during the live REALITY BOMB Podcast! Sage was dropping knowledge all weekend - she did a great mini-panel during REALITY BOMB as well as excelling on the Chibnall Era Transition and Class Is Now in Session panels! They'll tell us about the fantastic PUNK COMPANIONS cosplay that they and many of their friends did, too (it was AMAZING)! ALSO, check our main Libsyn page for the mini-podcasts from the weekend, including ones with Felicity Kusinitz and Deb Stanish of Verity!
On the forty-third edition of Reality Bomb we have a special live episode recorded at the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles with Graeme Burk and co-host Shannon Dohar. We kick things off by talking to Lindsey Mayers, Sage Young and Titan's Twelfth Doctor Comic artist Rachael Stott about the announcement of Peter Capaldi's departure and what Capaldi meant to fans. We hold a special live edition of our 3rd Annual New Series News Hype Quiz with Steven Schapansky, Erik Stadnik, Deb Stanish and Jon Arnold. Attack of the Cybermen is in the Gallery of the Underrated thanks to Warren Frey. And we have a live edition of Listeners Letters with special guest Paul Cornell! Plus a double shot of comedy and a bonus quiz with Nick Abadzis and Gillian Morshedi! It's your favourite Doctor Who podcast but it's live...at Gallifrey One!
In what's becoming a bit of a tradition, John sits down with the incredible Deb Stanish, of the award winning Verity! Doctor Who podcast (among other places and credits) to discuss her high points from the weekend and compare LI Who with GallifreyOne. Give it a listen, won't you?
On the thirty-seventh episode of Reality Bomb, we've given over the whole episode to revisit the best of our comedy sketches as selected by you, the listener! We go back through the past three years of Reality Bomb to our listen to our comedic highlights including, "How Dare You Steven Moffat!?", "Continuity Complaints Tribunal", Continuity Porn", "The Society for Scientific Accuracy in Doctor Who", "Sh*t Doctor Who Fangirls Say", "Bruce and Darren Stop The TV Movie", "Serial Code" and much, much more!

Comics, commentaries, audio adventures (both new and rumoured) and a celebration of Doctor Who’s many female scientists make for a busier newslist than usual in this, The Year With No Doctor Who, and this week you even get bonus tut-tutting about Target book arrangements and criminal dips to black on CraveTV’s streaming editions of the programme. A summons to the high court of the League of Fandom is in the maoi and should be arriving at their offices soon, fear not. And if that made-up legal nonsense doesn’t engage you, how about a commentary for “Face the Raven” with Deb Stanish of Verity! fame and Alyssa of Whovian Feminism?

Will and John talk with Deb Stanish of the Verity podcast and Alyssa Franke of WhovianFeminism Twitter and Tumblr about their experiences at GallifreyOne, their views on Doctor Who and fandom in general.

This one's going up much later than we wanted, but better late than never? Hopefully. This time, Shana and Daniel discuss "Kill the Moon," in particular some horrifying science content and the inherent sexism of certain elements of fandom. Also: the abortion of the moon. Main Topic: "Kill the Moon." Bad Astronomy. Question: sexism on Doctor Who versus other similar shows? If you're on Tumblr.... We expect better from Doctor Who. "You cis-het white dude." The science of "Kill the Moon." Not ranting about numbers. Summarization. Laughing Shana. If Martha was in this episode. You Fail Biology Forever. You Fail Physics Forever. Gravity. Amniotic Fluid. Age of the moon. Prokaryotic spiders. 99 Biology Problems. Talkin' about eggs. Parody science? A promise of math. Clara tells off the Doctor. Shana paraphrases a long quote. Unique in Doctor Who history. Dudebro fan response to Kill the Moon. Dragon abortion. A boy's club on Doctor Who. Not the hero. "I think you look like giants." The Trolley Problem. Patting ourselves on the back. Forgetting Martha Jones. "Are you high right now?" Talking about plot arcs. As angry as Clara. As feminist as Sarah Jane. The Voice of Reason. Deb Stanish gets a shout-out. The ends do not justify the means. "Would the Doctor think I'm fat?" The Pixar comparison. "Not bad for a girl from Coal Hill School." President Courtney and Blinovitch. "Would the Doctor think I'm fat?" http://rointheta.tumblr.com/post/98044754716/i-am-so-heartbroken-by-the-convo-i-just-had-with-my-cuz Check us out on Facebook here. We're also on iTunes!

On the fifteenth edition of Reality Bomb we have a super-sized episode featuring a special panel looking at the first four episodes of series eight that includes Lindsey Mayers, David Barsky and Kim Rogers. Also, Gallifrey One's program director Shaun Lyon puts a stake into State of Decay in this month's Gallery of the Underrated and Bill Evenson takes us Into The Dalek. And we check in with the spouses and partners of several Doctor Who fans including Maddie Rodriguez (partner of our co-producer Alex Kennard), Robert Thompson (husband of author Nikki Stafford), Paul Stanish (husband of Verity! co-host Deb Stanish) and Julie Hopkins (wife of host Graeme Burk). Plus we return to listen in on Wisconsin's finest Doctor Who podcast!

"Whimsical yet terrifying" is an apt way to describe "The Crimson Horror," this week's commentary, but also an accurate portrayal of current Who news. What missive struck fear into the stalwart hearts of the Three Who Rule? Possibly the fact that CBC executives wanted to dub over Christopher Eccleston's Northern England accent with something more suitable to Canadian ears. Perhaps a Newfie accent would have made more sense. Or perhaps it was the notion that filming on Series 8 of Doctor Who won't begin until January? The horror continued with a discussion of David Lee Roth's storied career, what constitutes a bad fan (hint: probably everything) and more! And that's before the commentary, with special guest Deb Stanish of the Verity Podcast! Enjoy! Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
The bulk of this week's episode is devoted to "Chicks Unravel Time," edited by Deb Stanish and L.M. Myles, a follow-up by Mad Norwegian Press to the widely praised "Chicks Dig Time Lords." In this book, each writer tackled a different season of Classic Who, with sometimes surprising results! The editors of this weighty tome told Warren and Steven about the creation of the book, the wide range of voices in the book (from pros to first-time writers) and the big difference that a female perspective can have on interpretation of our favorite television program. Oh yes, and some stats were mulled over at some point in the news segment. Last stats until Christmas, thank Omega! Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
