About Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro
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 (also in Edmonton, AB) 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.

Published 20 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] So was the show. It was just this throwaway kid show. Right? You know, and a Canadian, like, they felt kind of like outlaws in a way in 1963. And that spirit, I think, kind of enthused that show at the very beginning. And, like, having that kind of outsider mentality... I think is important creatively. Russell D. Davies was conquering television. Stephen Moffat conquered television. Chibnall conquered television. And then it went to Doctor Who. It's always been the job for the big showrunner to sort of take control of it. And it's a big job. It's one of the most tough showrunning jobs there is. […]
