Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #527: Peachy Keen

This week we’re taking a trip inside a very unusual piece of fruit as we discuss James and the Giant Peach and its various adaptations through the years. From Roald Dahl’s original whimsical (and slightly dark) story to the beloved film versions, we explore what has made this imaginative adventure endure for generations. Join us as we talk giant insects, unforgettable visuals, childhood nostalgia, and how each adaptation brings something a little different to James’ journey.

Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #521: The Medium and Message

It’s birthday tradition time once again at Five(ish) Fangirls! To celebrate, one of us gets to choose a Doctor Who Big Finish audio adventure, and this year it’s Rachel’s turn. Her pick? Big Finish #204: Criss-Cross. We dive into this twisty Sixth Doctor story, unpack its layered narrative, discuss performances, themes, and timey-wimey chaos, and share how it stacks up among Big Finish favorites. Was this birthday pick a hit? Tune in and find out!
