S01E11 "Boom Town" w/ Shannon Cay & Merrilee O'Neil

Time Lords! This week, we kidnapped our favorite witchy Time Lord Shannon Cay and Silly Lil Guy Time Lord Merrilee O'Neil from the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective as we visit the Cardiff Rift in 2006. The Doctor, Rose Tyler, and Captain Jack Harkness make a day-trip to the Cardiff Rift to refuel the Tardis and get brunch with Mickey Smith when they encounter their Slitheen foe from earlier this season, Margaret Blaine. Stranded on Earth, she finds herself in office and building a nuclear power plant in hopes of using it to power her extrapolator and get back home. The Doctor apprehends her and vows to return her to her home planet but Margaret reveals she's been sentenced to death and taking her back would mean killing her. Doctor Who does My Dinner with Andre as our hosts debate the show's moral dilemma of the Death Penalty and if reformation is possible. Shannon waxes poetically about filming on location, beautiful cinematography and real, unfiltered faces. Plus, the gang calls out Mickey's love-bombing of Rose Tyler and toxic boyfriend culture of the 2000s, and our Time Lords build themselves a Tardis team.
