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 #934 - The Number of The Meep
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 40 minutes and 45 secondsDoctor Who is back, and so are Russell T Davies, The Doctor (the Fourteenth version, more or less), Donna, her family, new addition Rose Temple-Noble, and a suspiciously cute furbag sprung from the comic book pages known as The Star Beast! What did the Three Who Rule think of the inaugural episode of the RTD2 era, the differences between 10-Tennant and 14-Tennant, the resolution of the MetaCrisis, and everything else? Take a listen, and then dive deep into the Daleks In Colour, the Fifteenth Doctor meeting William Hartnell (sorta), a cavalcade of VAM, and all the other bibs and bobs that come with the 60th anniversary of our favourite show! Wait for it…Allons-y!

Radio Free Skaro #930 - Remember, Remember the 25th of November
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 44 secondsAs we crawl ever closer to the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who and three David Tennant specials the news has gone from a trickle to a flood and the Three Who Rule are struggling to stay above the waves of information and indeed, this very strained metaphor. We have a release date (November 25!), a Disney+ trailer, a press release, promo pics, writer news, BluRay and Big Finish updates, a Humble Bundle and most importantly, a project to create the longest Doctor Who scarf ever. Thrill to our debate as to what makes a “proper” Doctor Who scarf and discover if you are a Scarf Truther or merely sane.
