In this episode of Earth Station Who, we delve into the surreal and satirical world of “Wish World”, the penultimate episode of Doctor Who Season 15. The Doctor and Belinda awaken in an idyllic suburban life, only to discover they're trapped in a fabricated reality crafted by the Rani, Conrad, and a mysterious wish-granting entity. As the illusion unravels, the Doctor confronts unsettling truths and faces the return of the formidable Time Lord, Omega.

Joining us is author MacKenzie Flohr, who offers her insights on the episode's themes and bravely takes on the Whovian Geek Seat. We discuss the episode's commentary on societal norms, its connections to classic Doctor Who lore, and what it sets up for the upcoming season finale, "The Reality War".
