Latest Podcast Episodes

On this special Gallifrey edition of Radio Free Skaro, we delve deep into the dark underbelly of Doctor Who, first in a discussion with writer Tony Lee and artist Matthew Dow Smith about the new Tenth and Eleventh Doctor comics coming soon from IDW Publishing, and second, (and far more sinister) the 2010 Podcast Summit, where the evil practitioners of the dark art held forth on their methods and madness. The terror!

After the “incident” with Chris on Friday that resulted in no podcast being released for the first official day of Gallifrey 21, Radio Free Skaro returned today in full force with interviews with Nick Briggs, Phil Ford, and Rob Shearman. Listen to these three fine gentlemen regale you with tales of woe, whimsy, and water – not necessarily in that order. NOTE: Chris’s appearance on this podcast is purely due to contractual obligation. We cannot comment on any rumours that have been circulating about Chris’s future on Radio Free Skaro.

In our dozenth episode, we examine the merits of the new BBC trailer, including a deep analysis of whether or not Matt Smith will indeed be sticking his tongue down Karen Gillan's throat.

Then, to commemorate the release of our 12th episode, we review "The Sea Devils," which just happens to have 12 letters in it, a fact which had nothing to do with our choosing of the episode but has everything to do with needing filler for the show notes.

Finally, we read (and respond) to some tactful, but nevertheless critical, feedback from one of the show's loyal listeners and talk a bit about Gallifrey 2010...speaking if which, be prepared for our complete review of Galley in Episode 13!

Please send hate mail, circus animals, and belated Valentine's Day regards to tardistavern@gmail.com.  Do it now, while you're happy and drunk at the LAX Marriott.

Special acknowledgment goes to Eaglestriker (from whomix.trilete.net) for the Last of the Timelords MkII mix at the end of the show.

This time we look at the Sixth Doctor played by The Colin Baker, his time before, during and after taking the role of the iconic Timelord.

If you wish to contact the show either email tdrury2003@yahoo.co.uk mp3 feedback prefered but don't let that put you off I'll get my able assistant to read them out or leave a comment on the website.

In the second of our daily Gallifrey podcasts, the Three Who Rule delved into the shiny, circular world of Who on DVD with special guests Steve Roberts of the Restoration Team and Steve Manfred of the Doctor Who DVD FAQ. Behind the scenes documentaries, animated Who, and the dicey state of the TV Movie ever appearing in North America were only a few of the topics covered by these fine gentlemen. All that and news, special appearances by fellow podcasters, and the usual whimsy you’ve come to expect from us. Enjoy!

With mere days to go before Gallifrey 2010 in Los Angeles, the Three Who Rule took it upon themselves to conduct their now-annual rundown of the panels, guests, goings-on and shenanigans sure to occur, all in the name of informing our dear listeners how often we'll be hung over (answer: often.) Stay tuned all this week for daily podcasts, special guests and the most fun you can legally have involving Doctor Who and cast of thousands (well, a thousand and change.) Not all was silent from The Beeb this week, however, as the start date for Series Fnarg has been announced for April 3 on BBC One, hot on the heels of the new trailer for Matt Smith's debut run.
