Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #509: 1000 Blessings and Curses

It’s birthday tradition time once again here on the Five(ish) Fangirls! Each year, the birthday girl gets to pick a Doctor Who Big Finish audio for us to review, and this time it’s Holly’s choice. She’s selected The Planet of the Rani (Big Finish #205), which continues the saga of the Time Lord scientist and her schemes. Join us as we discuss the story, performances, and how this chapter adds to the mythos of the Doctor Who universe, all while celebrating Holly’s special day! Plus fandom news and your feedback!
