Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

Stop! There will be no battle here! Unless you mean the final two episodes of our Classic Series Commentary for "Battlefield", which features in this here episode of Radio Free Skaro. The Three Who Rule also go over the news from the past week, including Doctor Who's first ever Emmy nomination, a recap of some of the notable events of Comic-Con At Home, and some general confusion about oxen!

This week begins our Classic Series Commentary for the Sylvester McCoy Season 26 opener "Battlefield"! Twisting Warren's arm to watch his favourite era of Doctor Who is a favourite pastime for the other Two Who Rule. Also, Dan Peck from The Game of Rassilon, a fun and entertaining Doctor Who RPG podcast, drops by for a chat. Plus, news on virtual conventions for Chicago TARDIS and Big Finish, Doct...

The last Classic Who tweetalong, a Torchwood: Children of Earth supercut, and a Big Ol' Delgado action dolly are in the news this week, along with the tragic news of the passing of actor Maurice Roeves and Mythbusters host, engineer, and Gallifrey One mainstay Grant Imahara.  But along with that we've got answers, pedantry and obfuscations with our latest edition of…Fluid Links! Links: Support Rad...

Truncated Doctor Who? Normally nerds would scream bloody murder at such impertinence, but not when it's the official Doctor Who YouTube page with half hour versions of "The Masque of Mandragora" and "The Hand of Fear"! Other bibs and bobs this week included photos of Matt Smith trying on test outfits before he went full tweed, Big Finish news and Target book delays, but let's be frank, you're here...

Both America and Canada celebrated their birthdays this week, and Radio Free Skaro was there on July 1st via Twitter to highlight the Doctor Who accomplishments of some notable Canucks working in the Doctor Who trenches over the show's 50-year history. In other news, we're all addicted to varying degrees to the simplistic Thirteen tile game, and there's a Series 6 Blu-Ray steelbook headed to UK fa...

Hotelmageddon! Yes, even in this time of the Swarm, the love for Doctor Who and celebration of said televisual program continues unabated as we all hope to see each other at Gallifrey One in February 2021 at the LAX Marriott, the room block for which is now sold out. In the meantime, there's a great panel with three Doctors Who and friend of the show Riley Silverman, plus the usual Big Finish, Doc...

The news is thinner than David Tennant's waistline this week, despite the appearance of good ol' Number 10 along with current TARDIS occupant 13 herself on James Corden's late night talk show. Gallifrey One hotel rooms are opening up this week, a peek at Time Lord Victorious and…that's the extent of it. Perhaps it's the fault of the advanced science of tachyonics as seen in Part One of our Classic...

Now that the Doctor Who tweetalongs are winding down, we're back to the Time of (Almost) No News, which seems apt given the Cavalcade of Things occurring in the real world at the moment, but there's some Steven Moffat bonus content in the form of "The Best of Days", a bonus bit of Nardole/Bill content, along with the script for "Blink," one of his most lauded works, being available for download. P...

Sometimes the world outside our Doctor Who fandom has to be accounted for and engaged with. We hope we can bring some levity to your week nonetheless, but we implore you to do your own reading, research and thinking. We also have a miniscope with Steve Thompson, the (possibly fictional?) writer of "The Curse of the Black Spot", "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS", and "Time Heist", and we will o...

The tweetalongs will continue until morale improves, which it has, due to tweetalongs! Specifically New Earth, Gridlock and Rings of Akhaten along with some Long Song bonus content. Want more? Noel Clarke interviews RTD and if you're American, HBO Max has all of "new Who" for you! Plus more Big Finish, DVD news, and Doctor Who on Turkish television along with the grand finale of our Planet of the...

The pandemic podcasts continue with this week's guest Danica Leblanc, co-owner of Edmonton-based comic shop Variant Edition, who updates us on the trials of retail and general survival in the Time Of COVID. But we're not alone, as there is a breaking Gallifrey One update, more tweetalongs,  Big Finish announcements, new dollies coming to North America, assorted nonsense, and the continued exciteme...

The lockdown continues across the world, and this week we welcome one Erik Stadnik from the Czech Republic and Doctor Who: The Writer's Room fame to regale us with tales of eastern European quarantine along with good natured badinage about this week's news, which includes further tweetalongs, "Time Lord: Victorious" news, new Doctor Who video games, and a boatload of Who scripts from Series 12 for...

The Swarm continues, and with it comes fine Doctor Who-related content such as the tweetalong for "The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion" with one Peter Harness, who is also this week's featured guest! (Stay tuned for the short discussion about Eurovision!) We also wrap up the first half of our epic Classic Series Commentary of "Frontier in Space" and "Planet of the Daleks" with Big Finish writer...

This week, Deb Stanish of Verity! joins us to banter about news of a transmediatastic multiplatformeriffic project called "Time Lord: Victorious" which will span novels, comics, audio and escape rooms (somehow) and may be just the thing to fill the void left by No Doctor Who for the next little while! And if that's not enough, how about some "The Power of the Daleks" Blu-ray news, a "Dalek" (by Ro...

The love for Doctor Who and indeed humanity itself continues, with many a Doctor thanking the NHS for their sterling service this week, a new tweetalong with the inestimable Paul Cornell and his stories "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood", and extra bonus prequel/epilogue material for those same stories. And he's not the only wordsmith cranking out the characters as Joy Wilkinson of "The Witc...

SwarmFest 2020 continues and with it we have a Doctor Who tsunami of tweetalongs, tie-ins, and tat, which makes up for conventions as far and wide as San Diego and London going online (in the case of DWAS's CapitalCon) and just flat out not happening (SDCC). But if you're looking for premium Doctor Who online content, we have our latest Miniscope examining the work of last week's interview subject...

As we continue to hide in our own personal escape pods from Swarm 2020, we're joined my writer, playwright and Resurrector of the Daleks Robert Shearman, who tells us firsthand about dealing with COVID-19, finishing his new book "We All Hear Stories in the Dark", and chimes in on the latest Who news and various other bits of balderdash. And not only that, we have an interview with Paul Wilmshurst,...

As humanity hunkers down to ward off the global pandemic, the Three Who Rule are joined by Big Finish's head of publicity Steve Berry for the news, and what news there be with Doctor Who tweetalongs, short stories, and hints of more missing episodes from one Philip Morris keeping us sane in our respective bunkers, along with (of course) some Big Finish info from Mr. Berry himself. Plus we have two...

The original Three Who Rule Time Team Fam are back after a couple weeks apart and there's a frankly insane amount of news to plow through after three weeks off the clock. And and AND we have your Fluid Links questions answered…or at least mulled about in a pointless manner! We hope we can continue to provide you nonsense and distractions during these troubling times. Links: Support Radio Free Skar...

In this special episode of Radio Free Skaro, we present our contribution to the recent Who For Schools initiative with our commentary for the 2006 Doctor Who episode "School Reunion"! But there's a twist! Listener Drew Walko helped to support the campaign and so gave each of the Three Who Rule a secret phrase to try to insert into the podcast. Can you guess what each phrase is? Can we? Listen and...

The world is going through a tough time right now with many of us hunkering down to try to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus (friends, by doing nothing we are doing our part). So we at Radio Free Skaro hope to try to entertain and educate you over the coming weeks as we usually do, and this week, Graeme Burk and Robert Smith? drop by to talk about their new book, Who Is The Doctor 2, the fo...

The Timeless Wait has begin, but the Three Who Rule won't let a little thing like a long monotonous stretch of time until new Doctor Who stop them from babbling about their favorite television show! Not when there's stats, retrospectives, a ridiculous amount of tat and, most importantly of all, in celebration of International Women's Day, an interview with Louise Jameson, writer and producer of AT...

The time has come for "The Timeless Children" being timeless! Will Doctor Who canon and continuity survive? Can the Doctor and the Master ever make nice? What will become of the Time Fam? Most importantly, what was the opinion of your humble servant podcasters on this, the finale of Series 12? You will obey…by listening! Also stats, tat, Target books and t-shirts. And no new Doctor Who until the h...

It is the Time of Descent for the Three Who Rule as they have just returned from Gallifrey One and are still in the thrall of the post-con blues, but for the Cybermen (and indeed one television programme called Doctor Who) it is the Time To Ascend…to something or other, as determined next week. In the meantime, here's a review of "Ascension of the Cybermen", the first part of the two-part Series 1...

What a weekend! Not only did the Three Who Rule attend Gallifrey One and had a wonderful time (as you will hear in this podcast), but they had a new episode of Doctor Who to watch in the form of "The Haunting of Villa Diodati", a scary haunted house story beautifully filmed and impeccably acted! Also, Steven recounts his experiences interviewing Christopher Eccleston on the main stage at Gallifrey...
