Erika and Steven dispense with the saxophones and somehow end up talking about “The Space Pirates.” Again.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika discuss saxophones and floor tiles.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven complete “The Green Death”, season 10, the Jo Grant era, and this style of opening/closing credits. Many endings!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven push ahead with more 1968 Doctor Who. What more need be said than “PACKER”?

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika hurtle headlong into the UNIT era of Doctor Who! With the super-suave Brig on one side and super-suave Tobias Vaughn on the other, plus adorable Doctor+Jamie and capable Zoe+Isobel, that’s the makings of the start of one heckuva story.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven finish off this delightfully fictional story in one fell swoop. They also wander off on many tangents, but they’re pretty much all fictional so that qualifies as being kinda-sorta on-topic. Probably.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika make their way through a forest of letters to bring you this podcast episode. And they eat more Pizza Pops.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven brave the awesome-trippy nothingness that is this extra episode of Doctor Who. Sometimes budgetary constraints lead to great things. Then they beg for a toaster oven. Yeah, just like this DW ep, this podcast ep takes a weird turn.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven introduces Erika to a Canadian delicacy: Pillsbury Pizza Pops. Maybe it’s their effect, but she came out of this story thinking it was “a hoot”! A comedic hoot.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven debate Quarks and comedy, then chat about Dulcian fashion, customs, and physiology. Plus, potential pizza pops! It’s quite a mixed bag here at LDW HQ tonight!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika embark on season six of classic Doctor Who! How will Erika’s opinion stack up against the fairly abysmal opinion of received fan wisdom? So far “RFW” has it wrong. Again. (But that could very well change as we go along. This story seems to have plenty of room to slide swiftly downhill.)

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven finally finish off Zoe’s debut story, and Erika enjoys it more than received fan wisdom has led her to expect. There’s some neat stuff going on here. Now for true authenticity, please go back and re-listen to Lazy Doctor Who episodes 113, 114, 115, 116, and 117 before moving on to episode 144.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika knock out two more episodes of “The Wheel in Space”, one of which is actually moving! Zoe is great, Bill names a bug after himself, and Jarvis continues to be annoying.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika get depressed about capitalism and picky (then less picky) about mispronunciations.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven press on in hopes of an episode with more dialogue and more stuff happening. And they’re in luck because while episode two may lack the Doctor, at least there’s still a doctor. Also, ZOE! Hurrah!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika watch the BritBox-exclusive reconstruction of the first episode of this Doctor Who story from 1968. Some stuff happens. But not all that much. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven complete this lovely, happily-ended story and say a fond farewell to Victoria.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika zip through three episodes of this creeptacular Doctor Who story from 1968. Foam party!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven wish you a happy Halloween! They just watched one of the spookiest episodes in all of Doctor Who — much to Erika’s delighted surprise!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika are impatient when it comes to watching Doctor Who. We can’t watch today’s episode of series 11 yet? Well then we’ll watch an episode from 1968!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven celebrate Thanksgiving by finishing off “The Web of Fear”, a Doctor Who story they definitely give thanks for—both because it’s really Quite Good, and because (most of) it EXISTS.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika power through a recon and a moving episode. They’re mostly entranced, with one notable exception on Erika’s part. Then they somehow end up in Newfoundland. You never know what you’ll get on Lazy Doctor Who…

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven continue to work their way through “The Web of Fear”. The Doctor is missing; Anne Travers continues to be awesome; a Welshman is stereotypical; and Steven nearly chokes on popcorn—or on a bad Canadian joke.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika forge ahead with more Doctor Who and learn they’re much peppier when they record earlier in the evening. Hope you’re ready for lots of laughter and at least one great big tangent.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven love Bert, like Fell, appreciate Cliff, are mixed on maps, and clearly need supper.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven wish you a happy Labour Day! As is our wont, we bring you some classic Doctor Who goodness on this long weekend. What better way to celebrate than to finish off a story we both enjoy? While we do have a couple lingering questions about “The Enemy of the World”, we’re quite satisfied by the end.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika bring you greetings from Worldcon 76 in San Jose, California, where it’s time for some hotel-based Doctor Who viewing. Because we know how to party at a con.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven wish you all a happy Heritage Festival weekend and celebrate the occasion with an episode of “The Enemy of the World”. From Hungary to Mexico to Fiji to Australia, this one is all over the map!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika get back to Doctor Who with a story they’ve both seen several times (including quite recently). This doesn’t faze them a bit, as they both still very much enjoy it. Erika just wishes she had remembered to mention the groovy wallpaper in Astrid’s bungalow.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

SIX Erika and Steven finish off Canada Day by finishing off “The Ice Warriors”. It had its ups and downs, but in the end they agree it’s a pretty good story.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

FOUR-FIVE Steven and Erika keep trucking along though the ice. To her delight, Erika finds the voices are much much better when there are moving creatures to pair them with. Steven talks about Pink Floyd — and even manages to make it relevant.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

…ahem… TWO - THREE Erika and Steven continue the Canada Day festivities with more Doctor Who. However, Erika isn’t feeling very festive, due to the vocal performances of some of the actors in this story. Why does it have to be a SIX-parter?

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

…or should we say “THE ICE WARRIORS ONE” to match the opening credits? We should definitely say Happy Canada Day! As per tradition, Steven and Erika spend part of their national holiday watching this show (created by a Canadian!) and podcasting about it. There’s an awful lot to say about this episode! From incidental music to Victoria headcanon to a surprising amount of talk about Mark Gatiss’ stories, but there’s still time to squeeze in the official Canada Day-Doctor Who theme song!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven finish off their first shelf of Doctor Who! Erika (amid coughing) develops some potential headcanon for Victoria’s character development. Summer colds are the worst.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika continue their trek through the mountains. Erika continues to discover Victoria’s cleverness. Steven repeats himself. (It was bound to happen eventually. Please forgive him.)

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika are back in the (green, glowing) saddle again. This story makes Erika sad. For multiple reasons. But they vow to get through it!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven continue unraveling the mysteries in the monastery, which is important because Victoria doesn’t like mysteries. (You go, girl! Solve that sh*t!)

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika get back to the mountains (and argue about which mountains are better) for some more sweet Yeti action. There’s also some yammering about missing episodes, Twitch, royals, a local art installation, and a bunch of vagueness about forthcoming podcast projects.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven are back at it and ready to celebrate the Victoria Day long weekend in style—1960s Doctor Who style, that is!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika say hello from a Calgary hotel as they plow through the entirety of this iconic story, but perhaps not for the reason you think.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven are back! And we’ve finished season 4 of Doctor Who. Since we’ve been gone so long and want to make up for it, we bring you our longest episode yet! (Ok, that’s not really why. We just have a LOT to say about this excellent and momentous story!)

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven convinces Erika to (try to) stay up for one more episode of Doctor Who. Perhaps not the wisest idea, as we had to stop and rewind twice to catch poor Erika up after drifting off. Birthdays, man. Whaddaya gonna do?

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven celebrate Steven’s birthday in the most appropriate way possible—watching Doctor Who and then talking about it on a podcast. And there’s quite a lot to dig into in these two episodes.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika didn’t want to stop at just one Doctor Who episode tonight. So on we go (or back we go) to 1866!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven dive into another unfamiliar-to-Erika Doctor Who story, which delights her to no end. Mystery and clues and detecting and Daleks—what more could you ask for? NONE MORE, that’s what.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika finish off “The Faceless Ones” (and thus, Ben and Polly’s tenure on Doctor Who) in one fell swoop. It may not be the best goodbye, but at least they get one—and it’s after a delightful story, so all in all, could be worse.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven finally finish this story, exactly one year after we started it — on Erika’s birthday!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven watch a couple more exciting-and-“new” episodes of Doctor Who. The second Doctor is very second Doctorey! Jamie and the Doctor start pairing off! Not enough Polly and Ben! And, most important of all, a truly, truly terrible hat.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Steven and Erika watch the closest thing Erika has found to truly new-to-her Who yet. With virtually no knowledge of what’s to come, this story takes on an extra layer of excitement!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven ring out 2017 ON THE PODCAST! What better way to spend the dying hours of a year than with a delightful Doctor Who story about giant, authoritarian crabs? We couldn’t think of one. So here we are.

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.
