Ep. 49 – Objectively Way Cooler

A Doctor Who podcast by a fan &amp; her Da (no, a fan &amp; his daughter).

Lovely thoughts on Doctor Who from a lovely dad-daughter duo. Quickly became a must-listen podcast!

Charming intergenerational discussion!

I love the casualness of this podcast. A man and his daughter watch Doctor Who together and then discuss the episodes. They’re not in any particular order. We don’t know what they’re going to watch. They watch it and they talk about it and then it’s over. We get to share in the joy of someone discovering a show and someone else rediscovering it.

A journey of discovery
