C-L-I-N-G-I-N-G (The Mind Robber)
2025/08/18
This episode: recorded in 2023 (???), edited in May 2025. Between recording and posting this episode, both Rosie and Aym have got married (Rosie beat Aym to this despite getting engaged a full year later). Rosie also can't remember what happens in this episode despite editing it themself, so hopefully it's good!
50: General Things Going Wrong (Timelash)
2023/12/24
This episode: The novelisation is worse than the serial, which may surprise some Timelash reactionaries. Quote of the episode: "I would like to record at least twice a month."
49: Plot Has Come A Long Way (Planet of Giants) with Nemo Martin
2023/10/26
This episode Rosie is joined by Dr Nemo Martin to discuss a serial in which - and you might not know this - the TARDIS gets tiny. Quote of the week: “You’re telling me a prawn lurgied this sandwich?”
Reversed Polarity: Is Kamelion A Lesbian?
2023/07/16
In this triumphant return (recorded..................... at an undisclosed time), your beloved hosts compete to determine which Classic Who companion is the lesbianest. And as the title implies, Kamelion does not go quietly. Thank you for listening to this very late episode of Reversing Polarity! Rate/review us on your podcatcher of choice, follow us on Twitter @polaritypod or on Tumblr at polaritypod.tumblr.com, send us an email at [email protected], and enjoy the images we have inflicted on your subconscious with our talk of lesbian K9.
48: Goldfingo (Spearhead from Space)
2023/02/02
This episode we watch in horror as dozens of plastic footballs rain down upon the Essex countryside. Also the Doctor strips! Quote of the week: “The Brigadier would be bisexual if he knew that was a thing.” Rosie recommends the film Rituals (1977). Aym is snoozy. It’s an instant classic.
Reversed Polarity: Egg Cracking (A Gallifreyan Gift Guide)
2022/12/24
Join us this festive season as we select the perfect gifts for the Time Lord who has everything (everywhere, all at once).
47: Horrible Harmonica Noises (The Robots of Death)
2022/12/22
This episode: Aym does not delight in the uncanny valley, Rosie tells a tangentially interesting anecdote, and Four and Leela interrupt a space orgy. This episode is also accidentally in memoriam of Chris Boucher.
46: Blowing The Yeti Horn (The Web of Fear)
2022/12/08
Content warning for discussion of anti-semitism. This episode: we recorded in a heatwave so relish that memory, the hero for words returns, Aym relates a deeply stressful tale of subterranean transportation, Rosie was on the verge of heat exhaustion and coped with a rare blue streak and we do not relish the Oh Sixties of it all.
Reversed BOOlarity: Horror in Doctor Who (Halloween Special)
2022/10/31
This episode: dive behind the sofa with us as we discuss Quatermass, John Carpenter, 2000s horror subgenres and might just get around to mentioning our favourite show once or twice.
45: We Call Him The War Blorbo (The Time Meddler) with MrTARDIS
2022/10/26
Content warning for discussion of sexual assault. This episode: We welcome a friend to discuss oil genres (again), Rosie has a bone to pick with Will, there is a ranking of unusual breakfast items, the Monk is prepared for a Reaper invasion and Dennis Spooner will not stop bashing companions over the head.  Thank  you for listening to this very forty-fifth episode of Reversing Polarity! Rate/review us on your podcatcher of choice, follow us on Twitter @polaritypod or on Tumblr at polaritypod.tumblr.com, send us an email at [email protected], and please have a fantastic fortnight!
Reversed Polarity: A Compliment Big Mac (The Power of the Doctor)
2022/10/26
In this very urgent and timely episode of Reversed Polarity, your hosts discuss Vibes (TM), their conflicted feelings about Thasmin as two queer people on the internet, just how hard Rosie cried over Ian Chesterton's cameo, and the possible links between Taylor Swift's new album and Doctor Who (no, seriously). Follow us on Twitter @polaritypod, on Tumblr at polaritypod.tumblr.com, e-mail us at [email protected], or tell your town crier to announce new episodes in the square. We're not fussed. Thank you very much for listening.
44: A Conceptual Tin Hat (The Invasion of Time)
2022/10/13
This episode: we really do not want to do the recap, Rosie’s GCSE in Physics does not come in handy, Aym celebrates their escape from Sontaran purgatory, and there is just no way to get through even one episode without bringing up at least three terrible films. Thank you for listening to this very forty-fourth episode of Reversing Polarity! Rate/review us on your podcatcher of choice, follow us on Twitter @polaritypod or on Tumblr at polaritypod.tumblr.com, send us an email at [email protected], and please have a fantastic fortnight!
43: Like Throwing Eggs At Thatcher's Statue (The Mark of the Rani)
2022/09/29
This episode: we inadvertently summon the Tissue Compression Eliminator into the Centenary through a series of dirty jokes, Aym discovers a fun fact about their own past, Rosie never did get round to Timelash, Tangentcast returns, and the Rani earns her place as our very evilest wife. Thanks as always for listening! Rate/review us if you can, and feel free to find us on Tumblr at polaritypod.tumblr.com, on Twitter @polaritypod, or just out and about if you happen to recognise our dulcet tones. We are also very happy when we get emails at [email protected]. Emails rock.
42: BRING BACK THE CLAMS (Genesis of the Daleks)
2022/09/15
This episode: some shockingly lukewarm takes, we rapidly abandon the format in favour of Whovian debate, there is an honestly incredible amount of biblical discussion, Rosie has a lovely bridge to sell you, Aym's headphones declare war against them, and we are going to bed at a sensible time. Follow us on Twitter @PolarityPod, on Tumblr at polaritypod.tumblr.com, or email us at [email protected]. Please feel free to rate/review us on your podcatcher of choice, and we hope you have a fantastic week.
41: Glass Stones Shouldn't Throw Houses (The Tenth Planet)
2022/09/01
This episode: the Cybermen are masters of disguise, please listen to Spare Parts please I am BEGGING you, Aym composes a beautiful poem, Rosie honest to God rambles about Noggin the Nog, Ben is a complete fashion icon, and we would both - much like Ben - die on a hill for Polly. Follow us on Twitter @PolarityPod, on Tumblr at polaritypod.tumblr.com, or email us at [email protected]. Please feel free to rate/review us on your podcatcher of choice, and we hope you have a fantastic week.
