Radio Free Skaro : An Introduction

One of the most popular Doctor Who podcasts around, Radio Free Skaro is possibly the most prolific and irreverent (but never irrelevant) Doctor Who podcast on the internet today. 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 and out of London, UK) was added to the team, and The Three Who Rule were born.

With nearly 200 episodes under its belt, Radio Free Skaro provides an entertaining and diverting listen for the diehard or casual Doctor Who fan. New episodes usually appear on Sundays or Mondays, following a loose 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.

All previous episodes are free to enjoy on iTunes – enjoy!

Hello,

I just love your podcast. You really add a lot to my Doctor Who experience.

I’m not sure how many Dr Who fan-produced podcasts you all listen to, but one of the best is moving from darkerprojects.com over to brokensea.com.

Mark Kalita, who sounds eerily like Peter Davison, plays an incredible Doctor. If you haven’t heard it, it’s worth a listen.

The old stories are at:
http://www.darkerprojects.com/doctorwho.html

The new ones will be at:
http://brokensea.com/drwho/

And, if that promo is any indication of what’s to come, I for one, will totally enjoy the ride.

Keep on podcasting!

Hi

Just a quick email to tell you how much I’m enjoying Radio Free Skaro which I discovered a few days ago. Very funny stuff with some great chemistry and some very interesting debates. Ming-Mong-Tastic! Keep them coming!

If you get some time please check out our own efforts (magazine shows and commentaries) at Tachyon TV:

Your show makes me smile on so many levels!

I only discovered you after “Turn Left”, but have gone back as far as my little podgrabber will take me.

I listen to your commentaries while I drive my open-topped Jeep past the Denver Zoo on my way to my cruddy little office job. (WhoRay!)

Incidentally, in which Confidential does Phil use that term? I don’t have the patience or the stomach to go back and watch them all again just so I can laugh.

I have my doubts about your randomizer, too. Morbius, then Black Orchid, then Weng-Chiang?! Very unlikely! Of course, if it had thrown the Krotons in after Morbius I would have said you had a Madoc Agenda, I suppose.

Anyway, boys, keep up the excellent work! I just happened to be in San Diego when ComicCon happened, but registration was already closed by the time I knew. Bad geek! *smack*

One last thing: A-D-R-I-C is not pronounced “AY-dric”, just as I have to keep telling my partner that they are not “DAR-leks”.

Oh yeah, and his badge for mathematical excellence was NOT used for picking up girls. Ask Connecticut.

I’ve just dicoveredc your lovely little podcastic rambles and have enjoyed them thoroughly. It’s nice to see that you have a sense of humor about Who. The commentaries are a hoot.

Keep up the excellent work.

Hi Steven, Warren, and Chris,

Just wanted to tell you guys that I’ve been listening to the podcast for a while and I actually have listened to all 147 which took about a month of listening to the show every second I could. I found out about the podcast when I bought an ipod a couple of months ago and looking up doctor who podcasts randomly. So, I’m going through other podcasts related to doctor who but I enjoy you guys the best because of the humor and the hilarious bits about the show. I’m from South Carolina, US and have always been a fan of the classic series. My dad actually went to Wales in the early 70’s and found out about the show and I’ve been watching Doctor Who since I was a kid watching Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, and Peter Davidson on VHS. I know a lot about the show even though I was born 2 years before the classic series ended. From the old series I like Tom Baker and Patrick Troughton, even though I watched Patrick Troughton on youtube because I don’t have any of DVD’s of his stories. The new series is alright in my opinion and probably the best doctor of the new series would be Christopher Eccleston agreeing with Chris. David Tennant is alright but there’s just been something about him that I never really liked when I first saw him. I do miss certain aspects of the classic series that you guys discuss in your podcasts but the special effects and cgi have come a long way from the classic series. But in ways I like the cheesy effects of classic Doctor Who because that’s what made the show cool in a way. Also the emotions and companion back story is very strange to watch from the new series when all you’ve seen are the classic series where there aren’t many instances of emotion or companion back story.

Keep up the interesting podcasts.

Hi All!

I just listened to podcast #166 and found it quite interesting. I’m particularly looking forward to this weekend’s edition about the Waters of Mars. Your podcast is interesting and and the sound engineering is very good! I love the fact that you feature the classic Who as well. I grew up on it back in the 80’s. As much as I enjoy the new series, I still love the old ones too! You have yet another loyal listener.

When I was young girl in the 80s I discovered Doctor Who and immediately was a fan of Tom Baker and Doctor Who. While at that tender age I didn’t understand all of what I was watching, this show and the Twilight Zone were the two shows I snuck out of bed to watch!

Now in my 30s, I’m catching up on the last 5 years of Doctor Who and I’m a fan once again thanks to Netflix… not the Sci-Fi Channel (what idiot planned those airing times?)

I’ve only come across your podcast (and others) over these last few weeks since I’ve had my iPod and its fantastic to hear your and others opinions of the show. Many of which validates episodes I did and did not like and gave me much to consider about the writing, directing, music and canon.

Thank you so much do doing such a great job, and while I only have Cablevision and no BBC America *sigh* I love forward to your podcasts of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor.
