Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro — After Shows
Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

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 (also in Edmonton, AB) 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 #967 - Foaming Ones and Zeros Jun 30, 2024

Show notes

With the end of Season One of Doctor Who, the Three Who Rule fall back on old habits (not unlike a certain showrunner) and return to the fertile fields of Fluid Links! Nothing will be solved but a whole lot will be discussed as they blather in a confused fashion about questions sent in by you, the viewer! Plus some new information about upcoming spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea, pondering on the very nature of a modern Doctor Who showrunner, some very quick cogitating as Marvel returns to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, and more!

Radio Free Skaro #966 - My Empire of Dirt Jun 23, 2024

Show notes

The moment has arrived for the Doctor, Millie and their big fluffy dog Sutekh as the universe gets dusted, mysteries are solved to varying degrees of success, and the Three Who Rule reach unforetold levels of Grumpy Old Man-ism as they discuss "Empire of Death", the finale to Doctor Who, Season 1! What did they think of the first finale of the RTD2 era? Were their memories jogged by a certain cramped TARDIS? Who's pointing at what, and why? Abase yourselves, insects, and find out!

Radio Free Skaro #965 - Abase Yourself, You Groveling Insect Jun 16, 2024

Show notes

It's the penultimate episode of Doctor Who Season 1 and the mysteries are piling up in UNIT HQ! Who or what is Susan Twist? What about the cloaked lady who may or may not be Ruby's mum? Why in the name of all the gods in the pantheon is Sutekh causing trouble and blinged out in Disney finery? The Three Who Rule don't have the answers but they do have baseless speculation and a bunch of irrelevant Classic Who references to tide us over until next week! Plus some book and comic and Big Finish stuff but let's be real…..SUTEKH'S BACK!

Radio Free Skaro #964 - Fowl and Fallibility Jun 09, 2024

Show notes

It's Regency drama, gossip, and scandalous dances on this week's Doctor Who adventure, "Rogue!" The Bridgerton fans are losing their minds at this episode, including one Ruby Sunday, but what did the Three Who Rule think of this theatrical and romantic undertaking? Plus we pay tribute to William Russell, Doctor Who's original Man of Action and Knight of Jaffa, and we encourage you to listen to our own interview with Mr. Russell from 2012. Plus Big Finish celebrates 25 years, Tales of the TARDIS mystery, and this very podcast gets called out for both its numerous crimes and its place as one of the best Doctor Who podcasts! Will wonders never cease?

Radio Free Skaro #963 - White Mirror Jun 02, 2024

Show notes

Doctor Who shows its range again with "Dot and Bubble," an adventure that goes from the superficiality of social media all the way to some very real-world issues in what's ostensibly a Doctor-lite episode but is in fact very heavy. Does it seem like we're dancing around the content of the story? Well, we are! Tune in and listen to our takes, then find out about a new visual guide chronicling the adventures of Character Options dollies, a sneak peek at the first 15th Doctor comic, the further exploits of the Terry Nation Army, more Big Finish excitement including Christopher Eccelston's final audio adventure (for now), and more! Don't slide us!

Radio Free Skaro #962 - I Saw Her Standing There May 26, 2024

Show notes

A very divisive episode of one Radio Free Skaro as the Three Who Rules review "73 Yards," a parable of Welsh magic, loopy time conundrums and craven Prime Ministers (well, one at least). What did they think of this Millie Gibson acting tour-de-force and what in the dickens is the mysterious lady saying? Listen and find out! Plus DWM 604, virtual production, a rabbit hole discussion of 4K Blu-Rays and much, much more! Also, why not metric?

Radio Free Skaro #961 - Kiss Kiss Boom Boom May 19, 2024

Show notes

Steven Moffat returns to the world of Doctor Who with Boom, a tension-filled episode with land mines, Anglican Marines, many a trope from his previous era, and more! The Three Who Rule are well-known Moffat-ites to be sure, but did this measure up to their thoughts and prayers? Plus the media blitz continues with Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Time Magazine (of all things) and a halfhearted stab at the increasingly irrelevant…stats! Ahhh-aahhhhh!

Radio Free Skaro #960 - Space Baby Lasagna May 12, 2024

Show notes

Doctor Who returns! Two new episodes dropped this weekend as we enter both the wacky madcap hijinks of "Space Babies" and the outright lunacy of "The Devil's Chord"! What did the Three Who Rule think of CG baby mouths, Jinkx Monsoon vamping all over the place, Beatles instrument accuracy and more? Listen to our multi-hour discourse but know this: the twist at the end is that song isn't very good. Plus the media onslaught continues with Ncuti Gatwa on Canadian radio, RTD dropping secret controversies in Men's Journal, Big Finish fun and golden sonic screwdriver tat, and more! Next week, we see how it all goes…Boom!

Radio Free Skaro #959 - Time of the Season May 05, 2024

Show notes

It's less than one week until Doctor Who enters a new era on Disney+ and BBC iPlayer, and the Disney+ money machine has been busy bussing Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson all around New York City to promote the show, look generally gorgeous wearing many different looks, and riding a Doctor Who-themed NYC subway car! There's also chatter about Doctor Who: Unleashed, the TARDIS at Disneyland, theatre productions, and more, with our friend Sarah Murphy sitting in as guest host!

Radio Free Skaro #958 - Ghost Threat Apr 28, 2024

Show notes

The Doctor Who publicity machine is slipping into second gear with Gatwa and Gibson making the rounds of a BBC premiere, chat shows, Variety Magazine, and more, but that doesn't stop the Three Who Rule from marinating in questionable nostalgia as they recall viewing The Phantom Menace for the first time 25 years ago, aka the Dawn of Anticipointment. Plus we issue an all hands on deck alert for next week's Gallifrey One Hotelmageddon, and Warren emerges from the Metaverse to give his take on the just released PS VR2 version of The Edge of Time! Don your own Helmet of Pretend and join us!
