Verity! Episode 43 – Stats That Are Fails and Werewolf Tales
This week we get sidetracked (by an infographic, of all things) before we even get started! Once we get that out of our systems, we roll on through our usual happy-Who-things into a well-loved topic. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we talk about the use of mythology in Doctor Who. Tansy waxes poetic about Greek and Arthurian myths, Kat has strong feeling about werewolves, Erika is happy about many things, and Deb manages to not get (too) mad at the internet!
Congratulations to Koa, who won our giveaway of Paul Cornell‘s new novel, The Severed Streets!
