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 #890 - Mrah Business Feb 05, 2023

Show notes

It's just under two weeks until the Three Who Rule descend upon the LAX Marriott for Gallifrey One….which is now sold out! In the meantime RTD hints at all of Doctor Who once again gracing the iPlayer, there's mmmrahhhh business to speak of involving BBC Studios bigwig talk of growth, mergers and acquisitions and other such financial tomfoolery, along with an "impossible" new TARDIS set and The Timelash, where we travel back in time to guess and frankly make things up about the week in Doctor Who!

Show notes

Finally our live show can be revealed as we Get Back to Gallifrey One in Los Angeles, CA! Plus the Gally schedule is out in the wild, there are updates afoot about said convention, and RTD is confirming spinoffs but not confirming Edgar Wright as a future director, whatever misleading GQ headlines may imply. And to continue the string of new and exciting content Jo Jones appears in a trailer for the Season 9 – The Collection set, news of LI Who guests, and of course the feature we love and you tolerate, The Timelash!

Show notes

It's a slow week for Doctor Who news but that won't stop the Three Who Rule from prattling on about Gallifrey One and Long Island Who updates, an upcoming book about Doctor Who story editor and writer David Whitaker by one Simon Guerrier, and a deep dive into both forgotten and unused Doctor Who story titles of days gone by and the extensive writing career of one Ingrid Pitt! Myrka kicker, actor, and novelist, oh my!
