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.

The 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.

It’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!

It is a sad week for the media and for Steven as Disney and many Makers of Pretend aren’t going to San Diego Comic Con, which means Doctor Who likely won’t, which means Steven likely won’t. Curses! We do however have news of Doctor Who books, Big Finish and Paul McGann appearing at LI Who in costume as well as digressions into Canadian history and Pink Floyd (as you do) in the penultimate instalment of…the Timelash!

It’s time for a Return of the Omnirumour as mysterious film canisters are pored over by specialists to see if heretofore undiscovered missing Doctor Who episodes have emerged or in fact it’s all just the same copy of Match of the Day over and over. Intriguing! Also Waris Hussein chronicles a trip to Moscow while Doctor Who’s debut hits technical snafus, Blu-Ray, Big Finish and vinyl releases aplenty and as always we go deep into the past to give our own vague musings in the Timelash!
