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 #821 - Apocalypse Soon Oct 24, 2021

Show notes

In merely a week we'll have new Doctor Who to discuss as Doctor Who: Flux – Chapter One: The Halloween Apocalypse arrives to please our eyeballs, but in the meantime listen to the Three Who Rule talk about Class, binge vs once a week episode drops, the general incompetence of a certain Canadian sci-fi channel, buffoonish press pack drops and a truly epic length Timelash where they invent the exciting and entirely fictional new television mystery series Mumford & Fay starring Suranne Jones and Judi Dench!

Radio Free Skaro #820 - No Flux Given Oct 17, 2021

Show notes

After pining, complaining, and begging for the Doctor Who Series 13 trailer, it has finally arrived and the Three Who Rule will pass judgment on it along with an epic-length episode featuring a visit from Emily Cook from Doctor Who Magazine and an interview with Gavin Collinson and Richard Wilkinson from Maze Theory about the new Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality video game. Plus Big Finish as always, Sony buying Bad Wolf, Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill shooting their final bits for the show, and a code giveaway for the aforementioned The Edge of Reality! Pew Pew (mostly puzzles) Pew!

Radio Free Skaro #819 - So Glad We Can Finally Talk About This Oct 10, 2021

Show notes

Our long international nightmare is over, sort of, as we finally have an airdate for the premiere of Doctor Who: Flux of Halloween night (in the UK) though a new trailer remains elusive. What is omnipresent is our (mostly Steven's) utter rage at the BBC's marketing "efforts" for the new series as all social media was deleted and then reinstated for…reasons? Besides invective and suspicion we also have musings on the past via the Timelash, Season 17 gets The Collection Blu-ray treatment, and the second and concluding part of our Classic Series Commentary for "The Edge of Destruction"!

The Brink of Disaster

Radio Free Skaro #818 - Name Walrus Face Oct 03, 2021

Show notes

It's been a week since the surprise announcement that Russell T Davies is returning to our favourite televisual drama, and yet there is nothing in the way of Series 13 teasing to satiate our base desires for more Who. Nothing, that is, except the Three Who Rule discussing a whole slew of action dollies, nostalgic remembrances via The Timelash, slagging off Canadian TV as is tradition, and a riveting commentary on Part the First of 1964's bottle episode(s) psychodrama "The Edge of Destruction"!

Radio Free Skaro #817 - Bad Wolf Too Sep 26, 2021

Show notes

This was supposed to be a slow news week but a phoenix in the form of one Russell T Davies smashed such expectations with news he is returning to re-helm Doctor Who's 60th anniversary and beyond in a new Golden Age of Telestreaming Audiovisuals. What does it all mean? Join the Three Who Rule as they madly cogitate over the implications of the announcement and muddle through their own complicated feelings on this most weighty of developments. Plus the usual Timelashing, Big Finish updates, video game-ry, and more! But mostly, let's be honest, all-consuming RTD banter.

Radio Free Skaro #816 - James Corden Being Tolerable Sep 19, 2021

Show notes

Chris is away this week but we keep it in the Canadian family with our third chair as we welcome Sarah Murphy for her first proper appearance on the show! This week, topics include the final Doctor Who ARG clue reveal (by mistake?), vaccines will be mandatory for Gallifrey One attendees in 2022, Galaxy 4 is getting the animation treatment, and Emily Cook drops by to talk about the latest issue of Doctor Who magazine! Oh, and a healthy dose of Canadiana for your three hosts.

Radio Free Skaro #815 - Billie Piper and The Hobbits Sep 12, 2021

Show notes

As we careen into the autumn (and while other franchises like Star Wars and The Matrix announce their plans and trailers for the future), Jodie Whittaker is talking about Life after Who, Christopher Eccleston is out of Calgary Expo, Big Finish unleashes another tsunami of content, and we take an epic dive in another busy week in Doctor who history in The Timelash! Bask in the banterful badinage, won't you?

Radio Free Skaro #814 - Kill Me On a Monday Sep 05, 2021

Show notes

This week on the show, put your Sherlock (and definitely not #superwholock) hats on because there are new clues in the decreasingly cryptic Doctor Who ARG for you to peruse, and a possible leak about what the next Classic Collection Blu-ray release will be? Also, news from Whooverville 12, Big Finish excitement by way of Torchwood, The Eleven, and Dark Season and the fourth and final commentary by the Three Who Rule about the Three Who Rule in…State of Decay!

State of Decay, Part Four

Radio Free Skaro #813 - Tuberculocusts Aug 29, 2021

Show notes

As we wait for both a new series of Doctor Who (and, indeed, a new showrunner and new Doctor), let us instead keep you occupied with talk of conventions during the Time of COVID, a deep dive into the Timelash looking back at many season premieres, and Part Three of our "State of De

Radio Free Skaro #812 - Consonantal Driftwood Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

This week we've got more mystery clues for you to peruse, Big Finish art and releases to amuse and a clikbait article about possible future showrunners that will at best bemuse. There's also talk of current showrunner Chris Chibnall's message in the latest Doctor Who Magazine, the impaled Cyberman figure you never knew you needed from Hero Collector, and Part Two of our Classic Series Commentary for "State of Decay"!
