Debating Doctor Who - A podcast by Allison Shoemaker and Alasdair Wilkins

We're coming late and through a raft of pre-recording technical difficulties, but we're here! We're not huge fans of this past week's episode, but we don't exactly dislike it either. It's just sort of there, really, and we try to figure out why this one feels so insubstantial. Maybe this would work better if either of us were arachnophobes. As it is, we find some stuff to like here, especially in what the story says about Graham and grief, but we also wonder if the show has quite zeroed in yet on what sets the new Doctor and Yaz apart. The show very much feels like a work in progress, and we're still pretty sure that's a good thing? Have a listen and see what you think.
