A TARDIS of One’s Own is a Doctor Who podcast in which Jen and Sophie, two lapsted Whovians, return to the TARDIS to watch all of new Who through a queer feminist lens. What will they unearth as they return to the favourite episodes of their youth? And what joys will they uncover in the episodes they haven’t seen? Who knows! Not them! It’s going to be quite a ride!

E56: Vincent and the Doctor & imposter syndrome

Dec 19 2024 45 mins  
CONTENT WARNING: Suicide and depression It's our last episode of the year as we say goodbye and good riddance to 2024. This episode is heavy on the sad vibes, which shouldn't be surprising as we're chatting about episode ten of season five, Vincent and the Doctor. In this ep, the Doctor and Amy travel back in time to meet Vincent Van Gogh and face an invisible monster that only the

E55: The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood & hostages

Dec 05 2024 35 mins  
We're on struggle street but we somehow make it through this ep talking about a double episode neither of us particularly liked. It's The Hungry Earth and Cold Blood, in which humans drill to deep into the earth, distrubing something that had been hibernating beneath the earth's crust for thousands of years. The Silurians are awake, angry, and preparing for war - a war that could d

E54: Amy's Choice & growing up

Nov 21 2024 34 mins  
Welcome to November, the Thursday of the year. We are tired but despite the horrors, we persist because we have to because we're supposedly adults. Which is actually what we talk about in this episode as we unpack the idea of growing up, or rather the expectation that you do so. Episode seven of season five, Amy's Choice, supposedly starts five years after Amy and Rory finally left

E53: The Vampires of Venice & femininity and the occult

Nov 01 2024 38 mins  
Good news, after two months of not recording and a very long backlog of episodes, we're back and on a real-time publishing schedule. If you've stuck with us, thank you! This episode, we're talking about episode six of season five, The Vampires of Venice. The Doctor and Amy cross swords in more ways than one with a horde of blood-sucking vampires in 16th century Venice. It's the per

E52: The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone & withholding information

Aug 22 2024 39 mins  
It's time for the first double ep of Eleven's reign! In this two-parter, the Doctor and Amy respond to a message from River Song, and emerge from the TARDIS to find the wreck of the Byzantium spaceship. Down below the Weeping Angels are stirring, but that's not the only threat our adventurers face. And you know what? Lots of people not sharing what they know, so we have big chats a

E51: The Victory if the Daleks & ignoring red flags

Aug 01 2024 44 mins  
Guess who's back, back again, the Daleks are back, don't tell anyone because it's not entirely unexpected... We're discussing episode 3 of season five, in which the Eleventh Doctor and Amy stumble into the midst of WWII, where Winston Churchill reveals Britain's new secret weapon to them. Spoiler: it's Daleks. We have some good chats about ignoring red flags, a thing lots of people

E50: The Beast Below & collaboration

Jul 18 2024 38 mins  
In this episode, the Eleventh Doctor takes his new companion to the 33rd century, where all of the United Kingdom's citizens (apart from the Scottish) live on board Starship UK and they quickly discover something sinister afoot. This one has big surveillance state vibes which made us think about collaboration, of the grim cooperation with an enemy kind. So yeah, this one gets quite

E49: The Eleventh Hour & stranger danger

Jul 04 2024 35 mins  
New Doctor, who dis?? Same us, with our same silly jokes, but hey, stick to what you know. We're excited to dive into a brand new season with a brand new Doctor! With his TARDIS in ruins, the newly-regenerated Doctor with the help of Amy Pond must save the world in less than twenty minutes from galactic policemen known as the Atraxi. And you know what this episode has a lot of? Str

E48: The End of Time Pt 2 & resistance to change

Jun 20 2024 30 mins  
We have made it to the end of Ten's farewell tour, finally. To quote Taylor Swift, it's been a long time coming. We are beyond ready for the change... unlike Ten, and the Master, and the Time Lords, in general... so we chat about that a bit. It's a short one cause frankly, so was our patience for these shenanigans. Enjoy! *** Please be aware that we can be a bit sweary. Soz not soz

E47: The End of Time Pt 1 & elders

Jun 07 2024 40 mins  
We finally made it to the final special! The never-ending farewell continues with part one of the End of Time, where the Ood warn The Doctor of the Master's return. Yet somehow, that's not the biggest threat... a darkness is coming which brings with it The End of Time (TM). Meanwhile we ponder the concept of elders, and the notion of respecting them. *** Please be aware that we can
