We also go into detail on a since-expunged German Disney+ Season 2 trailer with new footage, actor Freddie Fox, reflections on criminal behaviour when Rose leaked 20 years ago, and most importantly, new Doctors Who in Little People form the good folk at Fisher Price.

Radio Free Skaro #1003 - Anamorphic Pam
It’s the week after Gallifrey One which means two things: post-Gally malaise AND a giant pile of news, including a release date of April 12 for Season 2 on iPlayer (and also theoretically Disney Plus), speculation on the future of Doctor Who as per usual, a boatload of Big Finish, new books, a new RTD-penned series called “Tip-Toe” coming next year to Channel 4, and endless Youtube cogitation mostly revolving around Steven reacting to things. Take a listen if you dare!

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.
