Erik and Nat are joined by two contributors to the new non-fiction book Chicks Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the Women Who Love It, co-editor Lynne M Thomas and essayist Deborah Stanish.
We discuss why we enjoyed the book, look at the range of fan activities and perspectives covered, and ask if there’s a difference between male and female fandom.
