Who will play Olaf in the frozen crossover? If you point at a sign at a church and there's no one around to see it, does it name your baby?

  • Dot and Bubble
    Sep 29 2024

    On this episode we're staring in shocked silence at Doctor Who's most prescient episode, Dot and Bubble.

How does social media interact with racism? Do the people of Finetime deserve to die? Do the people of Earth deserve to die? Answers to all these questions on this episode of Always Foolish.

  • 73 Yards
    Sep 15 2024

    On this episode we're standing blurrily off in the distance to discuss Doctor Who's weirdest episode, 73 Yards.


    Can we ever know what this episode about, or is that the point? What did Kier Starmer's dad do for a living? What was RTD saying politically? Why is Ruby pro-animal testing? Can we make that ending make sense? And just how long is a yard? Answers to all these questions on this episode of Always Foolish.
