The penultimate episode of Blake's 7 series 1 is a bit of putting things into place for the finale, but it does include some Servalan action.

Popular “Lazy Doctor Who” podcasters Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky join Jason to discuss part two of “Flux,” which features both fictional aliens the Sontarans and actual historical figure Mary Seacole! Also, Yaz meets Vinder at a temple populated by floating triangles, and Dan takes a wok on the wild side. (No?) We also offer some theories about where “Flux” may be going, some of which may be somewhat too reliant on our ridiculously detailed knowledge of “Doctor Who” history. Jason Snell with Erika Ensign.

With mere days before the Doctor, the fam, and Captain Jack square off against decidedly slim and stylish Daleks in “Revolution of the Daleks” on N, tweeting and audio seem to be the order of the day to fill the emptiness in our Who-craving souls.

BBB (6-7) - Erika and Steven make it to their goal — completing every Doctor Who episode through “Doctor Who and the Silurians” Episode 7 before the Verity! recording on March 17th. Mission accomplished! Humanity survives; the Silurians don’t; the Doctor isn’t happy about it. But Erika is happy to be able to take a bit of a break from Lazy Doctor Who to work on some special Incomparable member bonuses. Fear not though! LDW will be back before too long, when the pace will likely be much more sedate. Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

SS (5-6) - Erika and Steven finally finish off Zoe’s debut story, and Erika enjoys it more than received fan wisdom has led her to expect. There’s some neat stuff going on here. Now for true authenticity, please go back and re-listen to Lazy Doctor Who episodes 113, 114, 115, 116, and 117 before moving on to episode 144. Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

QQ (3-4) - Steven and Erika power through a recon and a moving episode. They’re mostly entranced, with one notable exception on Erika’s part. Then they somehow end up in Newfoundland. You never know what you’ll get on Lazy Doctor Who… Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

In this episode Phil is joined by the wonderful Erika Ensign from the Verity Podcast. And in the wake of Class being cancelled recently, they decided to sit down and chat about the various Doctor Who spin offs that have been made for TV starting with K9 and Company and right up to date with the aforementioned Class and also just how the TV stations in their respective countries treated some of these series. It might not be as different as you think!

EE (5) - Erika and Steven take a few moments to talk about their new project on the TeeVee feed: a Lazy Doctor Who spinoff podcast covering every episode of The Prisoner. You (at least some of you) asked for it, so here you go! Please enjoy In the Village. And then we talk about creepy Daleks and creepy rebels and awesome Polly and the Doctor. Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

New Podcast about The Prisoner! - Steven and Erika of Lazy Doctor Who fame(?) launch a new effort covering the colourful, psychadelic, trippy, wtf-is-happening spy-fi series that is 1967’s The Prisoner. The world premiere of The Prisoner happened 50 years ago today — in Canada, of all places! Despite this bit of our national heritage, we’ll release our episodes 50 years after each one aired in the UK. So expect the first proper In The Village ep to cover “Arrival” on the 50th anniversary of its UK premiere: September 29. Yes, we’ll be watching in the original UK airing order. Do you have a problem with that? Well, you’re not alone. Don’t worry. We’ll cover this additional odd aspect of an already odd show. We hope you’ll join us and enjoy. If you don’t, then blame the Lazy Doctor Who listeners who asked for it. Be careful what you wish for! Be seeing you! Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

This week's "last" is a goodbye to a companion we're all quite fond of, Steven Taylor (not to be confused with Steven Tyler). Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we marvel at the excellence of this story, the excellence of Dodo in it, the excellence of Steven's reason for leaving the TARDIS, and the total lack of excellence in the general amount of fandom discussion surrounding this story. Why have we heard so little about this one? Have you watched/read/listened to "The Savages"? Did you love it? Tell us in the comments! ^E Also covered: Liz reads the fab excerpt from Paul Cornell's new novel Chalk (available now!)! Tansy enjoys Deb's interview with Anneke Wills! can finally share her Blake's 7 fan art dollies now that Down and Safe has reached "Gambit"! adores a Teefury shirt featuring Hayley Atwell as the 13th Doctor!

This week's podcast features the audio from our meetup on how to start a podcast, which we recorded way back in September. This was a departure from our usual format. We had veteran podcasters on one side of the room and aspiring podcasters on the other, and we invited the rookies to pepper the vets with questions. You'll hear questions such as these: Which sound editing program should I use? What would you do differently if you started again, especially for business? How frequently should podcasts come out? What social media channels should you use? What analytics should you track? How do you make crowdfunding work? How do you record guests remotely on your podcast when they may not be technically savvy? Where's the best place for your podcast live, for hosting and distribution? And you'll hear answers from these podcasters: Ben Yendall of Tales from the Hydian Way; Erika Ensign of Verity!, The Audio Guide to Babylon 5, Lazy Doctor Who and Uncanny Magazine; Chris Sikkenga of Montreal Sauce; Dan and Trina Shessel of Northern Nerdcast; Danica LeBlanc of Yegs and Bacon; Troy Pavlek of Basket of Yegs; Steven Schapansky of Radio Free Skaro, Hockey Feels, Lazy Doctor Who, The Memory Cheats and Uncanny Magazine. Have a listen. This episode is also available in iTunes, on Google Play, on SoundCloud or on Stitcher. Many thanks to CafeRista for hosting us. Thanks, too, to CKUA Radio and the University of Alberta Music program for donating door prizes to give away. Audio from the October meetup on how to get the word out (featuring Kelly Froese of Edmonton Nerd List and Jeff Williams of Guerrilla Radio) is slated to be published in December. As you can see, there tends to be a lag between meetup and audio release, so if you can, join us in real life. The next one will be on Nov. 19 at Variant Edition. Watch for details on the Edmonton Podcasting Meetup page. This episode of Seen and Heard in Edmonton is brought to you by Castria, where award-winning podcasters help you make your podcast sound great.  In this episode, you'll hear Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky talk about how they got into podcasting and how they use the expertise they've earned over the past decade to help bring other podcasts into the world (including this one).

V (5-6) - Steven and Erika watch a couple more Doctor Who episodes from 1965. Then Erika waxes poetic about a Labyrinth-Doctor Who connection that blew her mind. And there may even be some more Lazy Doctor Who coming this evening, as it’s the start of a holiday weekend! This story is really great, you guys. Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Our new-Who rewatch has reached Deb's personal tipping point into super-fandom. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we discuss feelings and poor choices and schmaltz and glorious 80s hair. How do you like "Father's Day"? Did it reach into your heart, give you the feels, and make you a devout fangirl? Or did it confuse you to have all these strange emotions in your Doctor Who? If the latter, has that changed? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Tansy has some Big Finish on vinyl! received a time-travelling postcard from Night Terrors season 2! Erika had fun recording a special ep of Verity! for Uncanny Magazine's Kickstarter! Liz is playing DOTA! can't wait to see (hear) Tom Baker in Star Wars Rebels!

Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Kat fangirls over The Fangirl Life: A Guide to All the Feels and Learning How to Deal by Kathleen Smith (as well as Kathleen's blog)!

Our trip through classic season one is back to moving pictures! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we cover Terry Nation's eclectic 6-parter, "The Keys of Marinus". There's a lot to love and some to not-love. Listen and see who thinks which parts are which! How do you feel about this story? Do you love its fairy-tale nature and the multiple adventures? Or do you think it drags? If the latter, which parts drag? We're super-curious to know, so please tell us in the comments! ^E Also covered: Lynne guested on the Just Enough Trope podcast! acquired the 12th Doctor's sonic screwdriver! Erika celebrated Canada Day with a Lazy Doctor Who mini-marathon! Tansy watched 60s Doctor Who (including "The Underwater Menace") with children!

It's Eccleston time again! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we discuss a real workhorse of an episode, "The Long Game". Adam, the not-quite-companion fails, the Doctor and Rose aren't the most mature, and we play "we'll fix it for you" to help Lynne handwave something that bugs her. Then we talk about potato chips. No, really. What did you think of this one? Did it make an impression? Have you revisited it since the first time you saw it? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Lynne's collection of Doctor Who DVDs is once again complete, with the purchase of The Underwater Menace! Erika inspired a Mexican Doctor Who podcast, Doctor Quien! Kat discovered the existence of a Doctor Who board game, Doctor Who, The Game of Time and Space! Deb's heart is warmed by the goodness of fandom: Listener Helen made it possible for a fellow fan to attend Awesome Con!

Back to new Who series 1! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we talk about Rob Shearman's resurrection of the Doctor's most iconic enemy, the Daleks. We do a little "fanthropology" and talk about how we each felt watching this story when it first aired and whether we feel any different now. It was a turning-point episode for some of us, but does it live up to the memories? Listen and see! What do you think of "Dalek"? Is it still (or was it ever) amazing? Or does TV from 11 years ago look too different to take as seriously? Let us know in the comments! Pop over to our giveaway post to enter! ^E Also covered: Liz's new Star Wars the Old Republic guildie is an old-school DW fan! Tansy enjoys all the Bill fan art on Tumblr! gives kudos to Hot Topic/Torrid for their size-inclusive Doctor Who clothing line! Erika enjoyed Calgary Expo and livetweeted two panels: John Barrowman!

(If you want a more in-depth Verity! discussion about "The Unquiet Dead", check out episode 83.) We talk about Rose's first proper outings with the Doctor and what they mean to that burgeoning relationship. And yes, "relationship" can mean many things to many viewers. How do you feel about these episodes? Have your feelings changed as much as Erika's? Were you a baby-fan like Deb the first time you watched? And how do you view the interactions of Rose and the Doctor in these early outings? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Erika has (mostly) podcast-related joy (no surprise there): The Cornell Collective, live from Gallifrey One! a new accountant (yes, really), Andrew Carroll!

It's the first official episode of our fourth year! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we start off our year-of-firsts with "rose", the first episode of Doctor Who's 2005 re-launch! We discuss our thoughts (if any) at the announcement of the show's return, our reactions to the episode as it aired, and our feelings about it now.

We bring our year of companions to a close by returning to the very first one, Susan. (Though apparently that distinction is up for debate, as is anything and everything in Doctor Who!) Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we talk about Susan's tenure on the show and her place in the pantheon of companions. Does she reverberate throughout the history of the show? Or is she an outlier? It's a fun discussion! Then Deb interviews Carole Ann Ford herself at LI Who. Listen in as they chat about Susan from the perspective of the woman who brought her to life! What do you think of Susan? And how do you think she fits into the history of the show? Let us know in the comments! ^E Related links [on our site]:Lazy Doctor Who reviews "The Sensorites"An Earthly Child from Big FinishCompanion Piece: Women Celebrate the Humans, Aliens and Tin Dogs of Doctor Who"Dimensions in Time"

Modern TV has melded the old-school “chapter play” format with modern, lower-cost (and at once higher quality) production methods. The result is episodic content that is more than giving feature-length movies a run for their money. Erika Ensign (Verity, Lazy Doctor Who) joins Strax the Sontarran himself Dan Starkey to reveal how Doctor Who is succeeding where multimillion-dollar franchise features are hit-and-miss.

While we're not so sure this qualifies as part of a two-parter, we agree it's well worth talking about! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we delve into what it means to be immortal with a human brain, the fabulous chemistry Maisie Williams has with Peter Capaldi, some truly fantastic writing, and lots of fawning over highwaymen (by some of us, at least). It's a squee-filled episode, but not entirely without criticism. What did you think of "The Woman Who Lived"? Did you dig the highwayman gig? Did you weep at Lady Me's cruelty? Did you roll your eyes at the big kitty in a crown? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Lynne issued a squee that could be heard around the world over David Tennant and Catharine Tate teaming up for Big Finish! watched a Corgi dress up as all 12 Doctors! Kat attended an Edmonton podcaster meetup where the hosts of Doctor Whooch (while being interviewed for Seen and Heard in Edmonton) recommended Verity! and Radio Free Skaro!

We close out our companion miniseries in fine style with Liz's pick, "The Curse of Peladon". Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we discuss Jo's merits as a companion. They are many--especially in this story. There's a lot of Jo love, dissension among the ranks as to which Peladon story is better, and even some soul-searching. It's quite an episode! What do you think about Jo? Is she as awesome as the Verities think? Or do you still see her as a useless screamer? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Liz cannot contain her excitement that River Song will be in the Doctor Who Christmas special!

Our companion miniseries continues! This week Deb picked the story, so join her, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we chat about Rose in "The Unquiet Dead". It may not be the first story you think of when you think of Rose, but Deb explains why it's a great pick to demonstrate some of her Roseiest characteristics. What do you think of "The Unquiet Dead" as a Rose story? Does it display her companionness completely? Or would you pick a different story for her? Let us know in the comments!

In every story worth its salt, there’s at least one pivot point. We’ve already had a couple in Babylon 5. This one won a Hugo. That made it a perfect time for our Control Group, Steven Schapansky of Radio Free Skaro and Lazy Doctor Who, to come back once more. “He said…pick a target.”

Yes, we assure you this really is episode 74. Pay no attention to the wildly inaccurate introduction claiming we've gotten further than we have. This is what happens when Deb leaves us alone. Join Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we try to cope without our moderating maven. And what are we discussing? We stick to our 2015 theme of companions, but we take it in a different direction this week. We're talking about the companions of a different Time Lord. Yep, from Delgado to Gomez, we're covering the Master's (Missy's) companions! Why does the Master always seem to have lackeys assisting him? We discover the Master's reasons for picking up strays aren't always that different from the Doctor's, though his methods of acquiring these "helpers" is usually quite different. What do you think of the Master's companions? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Liz discovers a delightful new podcast called Lazy Doctor Who!
