Welcome to the Pineapple Luncheon!

We’ve missed you all and have been so ready to get episodes out for you again, but we had to admit our hearts weren’t quite in it anymore. We still love Doctor Who, but we were exhausted and looking for something fun and light to get us back to recording again. So we wanted to give you all a preview of our new podcast, The Pineapple Luncheon! We’re still figuring out the particulars, but this will be our podcast for fun, problematic, sexy stuff, and anything else we want! We hope you enjoy, and feel free to send us your ideas on topics, format, social media presence, etc. We want to hear from you!

We got together for a chat without an agenda in mind, and this massive two-hour rant about JK Rowling came out. So we’ve split them up for your enjoyment! Join us as we discuss:

• JK is a TERF JK’s internalized misogyny
• The stories and storytellers we deserve
• Intellectual property, publishing, and why the Potterverse needs to take cues from Star Wars

And more…because we talked forever and there’s definitely more.

“I believe…I believe I haven’t seen everything, I don’t know. It’s funny, isn’t it? The things you make up, the rules. If that thing had said it came from beyond the universe, I’d believe it. But before the universe? Impossible. Doesn’t fit my rule. Still, that’s why I keep traveling. To be proved wrong.”

The Doctor has taken on religion, faith, and belief several times in the run of the show. We’ve even seen the Doctor become a religion in and of him/herself. Underneath it all, we recognize that the desire for faith, something to believe in is…human.

Join us as we discuss our own approaches to faith, what it’s like to be a minority in religious spaces, and what the Doctor teaches us about the humanity of belief.

Episodes to Watch:

• The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
• Last of the Time Lords
• The Fires of Pompeii
• The God Complex
• Demons of the Punjab
• The Witchfinders
• It Takes You Away
• The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos

In the Whoniverse, the TARDIS is a recognizable image throughout time and space. For the people that love the Doctor, it’s a symbol that everything is going to be ok. For everyone else, it can be a symbol of oppression and invasion. Join us as we discuss waning empires, waxing empires, current events, and how Doctor Who is, at its core, an Imperialist show.
