Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #500: Super Epi-Versarry Live Show

We divert from our usual format to celebrate our 11th anniversary and 500th episode! We are joined by our friends DJ Nik (The Fandom Zone) and Heather (The Broadway Fan Club), where we tangent about everything from favorite candy to the mysteries of the social media algorithm. We are so thankful for everyone's support over the years and we hope to continue to bring the squee for the foreseeable future.

Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #499: Warped Reality

With the TARDIS doors closing on another season, we unpack Doctor Who Series 15—Ncuti Gatwa’s second and (presumably) final run as the Doctor. This season delivers major twists, emotional farewells, and fresh adventures featuring returning companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) and newcomer Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu). We reflect on the regeneration, surprise cameos, and what this means for the future of Doctor Who. Plus some fandom news, your feedback, a few tangents, and some information about our upcoming Epi-Anni-Versary.

This time it's Chrissy’s turn, and she’s chosen Omega (Big Finish #47). We dive into this twisted tale of Time Lord legend, alternate realities, and existential chaos. Join us as we unpack the plot, performances, and just how bonkers things get when Omega returns! Plus some fandom news and your feedback.
