Radio Free Skaro
- Description:
- Radio Free Skaro is possibly the most popular, most prolific and charmingly irreverent (but never irrelevant) Doctor Who podcast around. Since August 2006, hosts Warren (in Vancouver, BC) and Steven (in Edmonton, AB) have provided listeners with their brand of amusing Doctor Who praise and punishment. A year later, Chris (in Amherst, NS) was added to the team, and The Three Who Rule were born. Recommended by Doctor Who Magazine, Radio Free Skaro provides an entertaining and diverting listen for the diehard or casual Doctor Who fan. New episodes usually appear on Sundays, following a loose magazine format of the three hosts discussing the news and events of the past week in the worlds of Doctor Who, Torchwood, and the Sarah Jane Adventures. They have also recorded special commentary podcasts for classic series and new series episodes of Doctor Who along with interviews of some of the brightest of the Doctor Who luminaries. Radio Free Skaro is also the official podcast of Gallifrey One, the world's largest and longest-running annual Doctor Who convention.

Radio Free Skaro #1005 - Release the Alpha Probe
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 46 minutes and 5 secondsIt’s another exciting week of almost there but not quite new Doctor Who and as such the BBC released a new trailer for Season 2 mere moments before we released last week’s episode, as befits the tenor of our times. We also go into detail on a since-expunged German Disney+ Season 2 trailer with new footage, actor Freddie Fox, reflections on criminal behaviour when Rose leaked 20 years ago, and most importantly, new Doctors Who in Little People form the good folk at Fisher Price. Only slightly less important, our Miniscope about pioneering Doctor Who producer and director Mervyn Pinfield! Come with us and enter the Sense-Sphere!

Radio Free Skaro #1003 - Anamorphic Pam
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 22 minutes and 39 secondsIt’s the week after Gallifrey One which means two things: post-Gally malaise AND a giant pile of news, including a release date of April 12 for Season 2 on iPlayer (and also theoretically Disney Plus), speculation on the future of Doctor Who as per usual, a boatload of Big Finish, new books, a new RTD-penned series called “Tip-Toe” coming next year to Channel 4, and endless Youtube cogitation mostly revolving around Steven reacting to things.

Radio Free Skaro #1002 - 1002 Alzarian Nights
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 52 secondsIt’s a bittersweet podcast today as we wrap up what has been a fantastic weekend at Gallifrey One, our home away from home. But it’s even more sad as it’s been announced that Gallifrey One will end its unprecedented run of conventions in 2028. It will take a while for the Three Who Rule to process this (probably more than the three years the convention has left), but fun is still had with Doctor Who writer Andrew Smith joining the Three for a recap of the convention, Big Finish secrets, and naturally, talk of The Sandbaggers.
