S01E07 "The Long Game" w/ Merrilee O'Neil & Brian Richards

Time Lords! This week, returning companion Merrilee O'Neil from the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective has helped us kidnap new companion Brian Richards to travel forward 200,000 years to Satellite Five. The Doctor, Rose, and Adam Mitchell travel to a space station that broadcasts across the entire Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire but things aren't quite right. Technology is behind, attitudes towards aliens are off, and somebody is manipulating the media. Plus, our new companion goes on a side quest for his own self-interests. We compare the state of media now to the disappearing of journalists and manipulations on Satellite Five and discuss how this episode inspired the Doctor and companion-lite episodes in the future. Plus, we ask ourselves, would you have a ten minute surgery to install a USB port into your forehead? Join us as we travel Across the Whoniverse!
