Ep 178 - Tabula Rosa
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 30 minutes and 41 secondsWe were all a bit nervous about this story -- whenever Doctor Who tackles something as serious as racism, a lot is on the line. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we dig through how we feel about this story from our international (and very white) perspectives. If you haven't already, we highly recommend checking out reviews and comments from people with different backgrounds -- especially black women.
How did you feel about "Rosa"? Let us know in the comments!

Extra! - Liz in the Hot Seat
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 30 secondsIt's time for our final "hot seat" of the year! Join Erika and Lynne as we put many questions to Lizbeth, and she answers them all. She mentions lots of very interesting media, so we recommend listening with Google close at hand if you're interested in chasing down some of her recommendations!
We also announce our new release schedule: for Series 11, we'll be pushing our podcast-drop-day back by one. Instead of Wednesday morning (North American time), Verity! will be hitting your pod-feeds on Thursday mornings. (Scheduling across five time zones is hard, y'all!)
