Woke Doctor Who

Welcome to the Pineapple Luncheon! We’ve missed you all and have been so ready to get episodes out for you again, but we had to admit our hearts weren’t quite in it anymore. We still love Doctor Who, but we were exhausted and looking for something fun and light to get us back to recording […]

Second verse… more of the first? We continue our conversation about JK, who the Potterverse belongs to, and more!

We got together for a chat without an agenda in mind, and this massive two-hour rant about JK Rowling came out. So we’ve split them up for your enjoyment! Join us as we discuss: JK is a TERF JK’s internalized misogyny The stories and storytellers we deserve Intellectual property, publishing, and why the Potterverse needs […]

It’s been a long time, but we’re back and ready to bring you some fun in the midst of these completely unprecedented times! We reached back in our archives and uncovered this episode we’d recorded several years back. Join us as we have a little fun and analyze The Doctor’s dancing skills! Trust us, we’re […]

All bets (and constraints) are off in this continuation of our nerdiest questions! We ask each other the nerdiest questions about topics ranging from Disney to Jane Austen. Join Crème Brûlée (Toya) and Mango Pudding (Eugenia) for this most nerdiest episode!

Happy new year!!! We ease into the year and back into podcasting with a fun episode where we ask each other the nerdiest Whoniverse questions we can think of. And keep an ear out for a musical interlude and our clear obsession with Henry Cavill. Happy 2020!

TRICK OR TREAT! It’s Halloween and our treat for you is a special double-size episode of Woke Doctor Who! Join us as we don our Potterhead costumes and spotlight the (few) people of color in the Wizarding World. Also, parents of small children take note – we’ve been given the OK from our producer to […]

“I believe…I believe I haven’t seen everything, I don’t know. It’s funny, isn’t it? The things you make up, the rules. If that thing had said it came from beyond the universe, I’d believe it. But before the universe? Impossible. Doesn’t fit my rule. Still, that’s why I keep traveling. To be proved wrong.” The […]

In the Whoniverse, the TARDIS is a recognizable image throughout time and space. For the people that love the Doctor, it’s a symbol that everything is going to be ok. For everyone else, it can be a symbol of oppression and invasion. Join us as we discuss waning empires, waxing empires, current events, and how […]

In this very special episode, you’ll hear your hosts, Eugenia and Toya, give their very first panel talk as part of BlerDCon 2019! Topics include: how “Woke Doctor Who” was born, what it’s like to be women of color in a very white podcast and fandom space, how to enter the Whoniverse if you’re new […]

We’ve had a tough couple of weeks and wanted a break from our usual challenging topics, so we bring you: THE THIRST. Essentially, all the dudes we lust after (ladies to come in a later episode). Enjoy!

In a show that features time travel, the concept of age could be completely meaningless. So when and how does the show make it meaningful? We explore the times Doctor Who has leaned into the significance of age and aging, or sidestepped it completely. Join us as we discuss: – Life and love after 40 […]

Happy New Year! We are kicking off 2019 by sharing our thoughts about Season 11. Join us as we talk through: Our stories taking center stage on the show The Doctor as Project Manager The strength, weakness, and brilliance of normal people And overall, just how dang “chuffed” we are with this season

CW: Swearing (and lots of it) Happy holidays! We send off the year with a good ol’ fashioned Festivus airing of grievances. As a Black woman and an Asian woman, we spend lots of time talking to each other about the ways – large and small – whiteness infringes on our ability to be who […]

Join us as we discuss “Crazy Rich Asians”, the blockbuster summer rom-com written by, directed by, and starring … Asians! We talk through the controversies, the beauty, the relationships, and the “hidden” movie inside the movie that some of us got to see. Most importantly, we talk about centering the Asian-American experience and the quest […]

As American WOC who love a British show, we were bracing ourselves for the worst when we saw the previews for “Rosa”. And we were absolutely right to worry. While we’re still enjoying this season and Jodie as 13, we were deeply disappointed in how wrong this episode was on the American Civil Rights Movement […]

The Doctor is back and so are we! The first female Doctor is no small thing, so we got together to experience our new TARDIS team in person! We laughed, we cried, we grumbled (a little), we ate pizza, we clapped–and then of course talked about it all afterwards. And keep an ear out for […]

Ah, Captain Jack Harkness, arguably the sexiest part of “Doctor Who”, the one who swaggered into the Whoniverse and changed it irrevocably. In this episode, we dig into the life (LIVES?) of our beloved omni/pansexual, Captain Jack – the one who’s attracted to us all. How he fought alongside the Doctor. How he became the […]

Introducing our new quickie “grab bag” episodes! Eugenia and Toya take a little time to reflect on the new TARDIS team and their panel at San Diego Comic-Con. We’re so excited, guys!

And now for something completely different! Join us as we finally talk about “Black Panther.” Toya is ready to share her thoughts, her experiences, and most importantly, her feelings about Wakanda and what the possibility of a land without colonization means for Black people and for her personally. We also discuss reactions of non-black audiences […]
