Episode 1.11 We Need Life Editors
I Am Awesome At This, Actually It Was a Robot in a Dream, Lone Rebel Genius, Hip Motion is for Losers
Show Notes
In which we geek out about Doctor Who… and do our best to say something meaningful about the necessity of people who can tell us what we’re getting wrong in life, and who can be strong where we have weaknesses.
Correction
We said only one episode of new Doctor Who has won a Hugo. We were dreadfully wrong: the show has won six Hugos since the revival in 2006.
Whoops.
