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.

It's been a very quiet week for Doctor Who news, but that won't stop us from waffling on about KSPS Doctor Who broadcast schedules of yesteryear, Babylon 5 upgrades and other such ephemera! Mere distraction though for part three of our Rachel Talalay Miniscope, where we look at World Enough and Time, the Doctor Falls and Twice Upon a Time!

Radio Free Skaro - Archive Interview With Rachel Talalay (2017) Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

For the next three weeks, we are presenting some archive content in the leadup to our three-part Miniscope on the works of director Rachel Talalay.

Rachel has been a friend to us here at RFS, appearing no fewer than six times, and we thought it was worth re-releasing our interviews and commentaries with her over the years as a lead-in to our conversations about her work on Doctor Who.

Here is our final interview with Rachel Talalay (so far) on the podcast. This one was released across two episodes of Radio Free Skaro, 608 and 609, in the runup to the 2017 Christmas special "Twice Upon a Time", where Warren visits the home of Rachel Talalay again to talk about that, as well as the two-part finale to Series 10.

Join us on January 31 for the third and final part of our Miniscope on director Rachel Talalay, where we look at "World Enough and Time", "The Doctor Falls", and "Twice Upon a Time".

Show notes

This instalment features our first two interviews with Rachel. The first is Warren's interview with her, which we originally released on Radio Free Skaro #445 in the runup to the Series 8 finale in 2014, as well as our second chat with Rachel from Radio Free Skaro #463, recorded in a very busy lobby at the LAX Marriott at Gallifrey One in February 2015.

Thanks for listening to these, and we hope you enjoy the first part of our Miniscope on director Rachel Talalay, covering "Dark Water" and "Death in Heaven", on the next episode of Radio Free Skaro.

Radio Free Skaro #777 - The Erato Adventures of Hercules Jan 10, 2021

Show notes

As we return to a Dearth of new Doctor Who here in the early days of 2021, we are forced to comfort ourselves with the cold logic of "Revolution of the Daleks" stats, as well as Big Finish's exciting reveal of Christopher Eccleston's audio debut! Throw in some dribs and drabs of audioboks and other ephemera but enough stalling, it's time to tear off the bandage and suffer with us for the second half of our Classic Series Commentary of "The Creature from the Pit"!
