NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 314: "Space Babies & The Devil's Chord" Is Up!

 
"Ten minutes ago, you said genocide. Your people are gone."
"Yeah."
"How do you keep going?"
"For days like this, Ruby Sunday. I don't have a people. I don't have a home. But I don't have a job either. I don't have a boss or taxes and bills to pay. I don't have a purpose or a cause or a mission, but I have…freedom, so I keep going to see the next thing and the next and the next. Sometimes, it looks even better through your eyes."
-- Ruby Sunday and the Fifteenth Doctor, Doctor Who: "Space Babies"

Hello again, everyone! My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, we're joined by special guests Rachel Frend & Holly Mac to discuss "Space Babies" and "The Devil's Chord", the first two episodes of Doctor Who Series 14, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday!

In this episode, Jesse, Rachel, Holly, and I discuss things like having two members of the Five-ish Fangirls Podcast joining us on the same episode, both of the episodes being very Russell T Davies, the mysterious Susan Twist, Ray Bradbury's short story "A Sound of Thunder", the Doctor altering Ruby's phone like he did for Rose in "The End of the World", the Doctor meeting Star Trek characters in IDW Publishing's Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation², Ruby transforming into a strange butterfly creature, Ruby getting a Companion 101 exposition dump from the Doctor, the Space Babies being Rachel's worst nightmare, RTD revealing that the Bogeyman is an actual snot monster, RTD still thinking that farting aliens and spaceships are funny, the Doctor secretly investigating another companion, wondering if RTD is setting up the return of Susan Foreman, Jesse loving the Doctor and Ruby's '60s attire, my theory that Susan Foreman could be The One Who Waits, Rachel's thoughts on Doctor Who's version of the Beatles, the Beatles' music being too cost-prohibitive to feature on Doctor Who, how Jesse's life would be different without Bruce Springsteen's music, the pointless dance number that served no story purpose, the Maestro being a child of the Toymaker, wanting to see Jinkx Monsoon with Neil Patrick Harris, the Maestro thinking Ruby is wrong, our favorite quotes of both episodes, two Reverse the Polarity segments, new listener feedback from Megan Stover and Sandi from Oregon, the upcoming return of Steven Moffat, and more!
