Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #360: A Gallifreyan Buccaneer

Rachel's birthday is here again, and that means she gets to pick another Big Finish audio for us to review. And we're sure to no one's surprise she chose a 6th Doctor story, "Doctor Who and the Pirates".  Doctor Who isn't new to stories involving pirates, but we've never heard the Doctor break out into song before. Plus we discuss Rachel's very special, and related, birthday present. Also some news and your feedback.
