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 #912 - Halt H Jun 25, 2023

Show notes

It is a sad week for the media and for Steven as Disney and many Makers of Pretend aren't going to San Diego Comic Con, which means Doctor Who likely won't, which means Steven likely won't. Curses! We do however have news of Doctor Who books, Big Finish and Paul McGann appearing at LI Who in costume as well as digressions into Canadian history and Pink Floyd (as you do) in the penultimate instalment of…the Timelash!

Radio Free Skaro #911 - What Is Your Imurjinsee Jun 18, 2023

Show notes

While we wait for news regarding Doctor Who at San Diego Comic-Con (or not), The Three Who Rule managed to squeeze out more than an hour of top quality banter at Ncuti Gatwa's nudity skills, Lenny Rush joining the Doctor Who cast, and the Timelash, which was stuffed to the gills with events of a chronological nature which were then commented upon! Want to hear derisive sneers about Strange New Worlds and Disney+ censorship of "The French Connection", not to mention the Golden Age of McDonalds Ashtrays? This is the podcast for you!

Radio Free Skaro #910 - One After 909 Jun 11, 2023

Show notes

The Classic Companion Reunion Victory Tour as one Melanie Bush aka Bonnie Langford is set to join Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor Who for an adventure in space and/or time next year! Doom has also started experiencing their first of twenty-four hours of mayhem and of course we have the Timelash to entertain you with ad-hoc takes of time gone by. But more importantly, we have Gav Rymill of the Terry Nation Army in a return interview about his fantastic fan series of videos about Skaro's crankiest denizens! Set aside a few rels and listen, won't you?

Radio Free Skaro #909 - I've Got A Feeling Jun 04, 2023

Show notes

It's time for a Return of the Omnirumour as mysterious film canisters are pored over by specialists to see if heretofore undiscovered missing Doctor Who episodes have emerged or in fact it's all just the same copy of Match of the Day over and over. Intriguing! Also Waris Hussein chronicles a trip to Moscow while Doctor Who's debut hits technical snafus, Blu-Ray, Big Finish and vinyl releases aplenty and as always we go deep into the past to give our own vague musings in the Timelash!

Radio Free Skaro #908 - Maggie Mae May 28, 2023

Show notes

It's the Eve of Doom's Day as the BBC ramps up its transmedial multimodal whatsit starring Sooz Kempner for a debut on June 5th! The Three Who Rule cogitate on this monumental and somewhat confusing chronological crisis, along wth much more, including Indira Varma as the mysterious Duchess, Frazer Hines writing an Evil of the Daleks novelization, a contraband 1997 Doctor Who annual, Doctor Who and Top Gear going into the metaverse for some reason, the Revised Return of the Wife in Space, and the ever enjoyable Timelash!

Radio Free Skaro #907 - Let It Be May 21, 2023

Show notes

It is one of the more fallow news weeks in recent memory as we have merely one Big Finish and a few novels to speak of, BUT that doesn't stop the Three Who Rule from chewing up all of time and space with both the Timelash and and AND the return of Fluid Links! How does WKRP figure into the Tom Baker era? Why do Nimons wear loincloths? These questions and more are yours to hear and yell at in frustration!

Radio Free Skaro #906 - Dig It May 14, 2023

Show notes

We now have titles for the upcoming Doctor Who David Tennant specials, and a teaser trailer featuring Beep The Meep, Neil Patrick Harris as whoever he might be, and not a whole lot else! Still, it's something, as is Regency costumes on Ncuti Gatwa and Co., Disney+ losing money due to cricket (so we'll blame that on the fifth Doctor) , Big Finish, NFTs, analog NFTs in the form of Doctor Who themed Magic: The Gathering cards, and as ever the Timelash, where we decided Alec Baldwin has been hoarding 16mm prints of missing episodes! It's Wednesday, Lemon!

Radio Free Skaro #905 - I Me Mine May 07, 2023

Show notes

It's a race agains the clock as to the excitement of Chris and Steven and the consternation of Warren we recorded this episode right before Game Two of the Edmonton Oilers playoff series with Vegas and tensions were running high (except for Warren who couldn't care less), but STILL we bring you news of a cryptic 60th anniversary teaser and Eurovision trailer yet to come, a fine Twitter thread from James Moran on the deplorable conditions UK television writers face as they watch the WGA strike in America, Jonathan Groff joins the Doctor Who cast to the delight of musical enthusiasts (not us) and of course we dive into history with The Timelash!

Radio Free Skaro #904 - Across the Universe Apr 30, 2023

Show notes

A beloved tunesmith is back in action as Murray Gold returns to Doctor Who, the latest in a string of RTDists to join their blue box pals once more. If horror and panic is more your thing, the LAX Marriott does HOTELMAGEDDON as the first Gallifrey One room block will be available May 12, so gird your loins appropriately! Also there's a Blue Peter contest, David Tennant's hair is completely out of control, The Ultimate Adventure has been restored, and The Timlelash gives your the musings of three creaking skeletons who like their stories. Allons and indeed…y

Radio Free Skaro #903 - Dig a Pony Apr 23, 2023

Show notes

It's a week of casting and backsides this week as we see Jinkx Monsoon's costume and Ncuti Gatwa's…form-fitting costume dominate fan headlines, along with Fortnite news, Doom's Day comic book shenanigans, a BBC brand manager job that involves driving a forklift(?), and perhaps the greatest heavy lifting of all…The Timelash!
