Radio Free Skaro
- Description:
- 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 (in Amherst, NS) 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 #921 - Maudlin Undead
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 53 secondsIt’s a mystery that isn’t as the BBC publishes then pulls confirmation that Ncuti Gatwa’s first series will air in “Spring 2024”, as we all suspected.

We also have a video essay about I, Claudius (because of course we do), details on the book launch of Simon Guerrier’s “David Whitaker in an Exciting Adventure with Television”, Big Finish endings and audiobook news, and most excitingly, Part One of our Classic Series Commentary of “Mawdryn Undead”!

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 58 secondsThe news is sparse this week, as sparse as the Thursday/Friday schedule for San Diego Comic Con, reflecting the general malaise of the entertainment media complex in these times of IP dominance and labour strife. But that won’t stop the Three Who Rule from giving their half-baked opinions on costuming, editing video tape via razor blades and gumption, the non-legacy of VR, and Threads, the latest in a long line of social media hellsites. So go on, skeet that toot into your eardrums, tweeps! Not the nighttime crowd, obviously.

Radio Free Skaro #913 - Most People Depart With a Scream
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 2 minutes and 40 secondsIt’s the end, but the moment has been prepared for…by the Three Who Rule who are ringing in Canada Day weekend by wringing out the very last vestiges of the Timelash, our popular(?) time-filling exercise in Doctor Who reflection. We also have news of Doctor Who mostly absent from SDCC, MIA for Fortnite, and country cousin Star Trek all but vanishing from Crave, which continues to be Canada’s HBO by going from quite decent to very crappy in under a year. Next week…not the Timelash, that’s for sure!

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!

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 22 minutes and 14 secondsWhile 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!
