It’s the end of the year and the 50th episode of the podcast!

It’s been a little while and we’re sorry. In this episode we discuss the past couple of months of Doctor Who goings on including the 50th anniversary celebrations in London, “The Day of the Doctor,” and “The Time of the Doctor.” We recorded this a couple of days after Matt Smith regenerated into Peter Capaldi but due to some technical difficulties it couldn’t be edited and posted until now, but at least it is here. Enjoy!

Our first podcast of the New Year and in this week’s show we shrink ourselves down to enjoy an oversized episode with lots of great content.

First its a heaping portion on the First Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara story, Planet of Giants.

Then we take a look at the first in a series of ebook published by Penguin Publishing for the 50th Anniversary, starting with A Big Hand for the Doctor.

Then, a swan song of sorts for the IDW line of Doctor Who stories with its final issue, The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who.

And, some news for our local convention front with a big announcement for Planet ComiCon in Kansas City.

And of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

The third season of Sherlock is proving to be quite an interesting season. Time and time again, it has proved itself in terms of smarts and humor, often overlapping one another, and there is no exception here. Being the middle episode of the series, it didn’t have much to prove but to just be a great episode, and it sure was.

We know the Doctor loves his TARDIS.  Like a man and his hot rod, the Doctor dotes on his old girl.  What exactly is the relationship between a Time Lord and his TARDIS?  This week, we try to get inside the mind and design of that relationship.  Is it like a husband and wife?  Or is it more symbiotic than that?

Then, with only five weeks left before Gallifrey 2014 the first block of panel discussion topics has finally been announced.  In our over excitement, we give you our preview of them all.  If you are going to Gally this year, this will get you just as excited as we are.  If you're not going, we hope this will begin your desire to start saving your money now for 2015 since tickets will be going on sale in a few months.

For their first podcast of 2014, Phil and Paul decided that it was high time that they did another Target book review.  So what did they pick?  The Twin Dilemma that's what!!  In a vain attempt to discover whether Eric Sawards novelisation improves on what is probably the most least regarded Doctor Who serial, they discover abandonment of the original plot, pointless back stories for characters and things, depression all round and a mystic cat.

And in the news this week, Gareth Roberts will be on writing duties for series 8 which gives Phil flashbacks to the horror that is Craig Owens, a couple of Australian centric items and a quick peek into Omega's Tat Corner with the latest in t-shirt news!

From its origins on a humble Skype connection in 2006 to the quasi-shabby status it endures today, Radio Free Skaro has tried to entertain, inform and educate its listeners about the wonderful world of Doctor Who. And in this, its 400th episode, it may have finally succeeded. Joining us for a retrospective roundtable on the Matt Smith era were Chris and Laura Mead of the Oodcast, Luke Harrison of TMDWP, Kyle Anderson of the Doctor Who: The Writer’s Room (and Nerdist fame) and Chip, the Two Minute Time Lord. What did these luminaries, and to a much lesser extent, Steven, Warren, and Chris think of Matt Smith’s run as the Doctor? You’ll just have to listen to find out. You’ll also have to endure some blather about stats beforehand. Vegetables before you get your dessert!

You know that dream where you go to church, but make the beginner’s mistake of not wearing clothes? Well hold on to your trousers, because it just became The Most Awkward Doctor Who Plot Device, Ever! In the ostensible Christmas special “The Time of the Doctor,” Steven Moffat borrows heavily from everything he’s ever written and some things he hasn’t, and then throws in a dash of implied/not-so-implied nudity just to angry up the fans. Christmas is in jeopardy (the town, not the holiday), all of his enemies have returned, and the Doc’s running around starkers! This really is a weird thing to be focusing on around Christmas (the holiday, not the town).
