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 bor... more

  • Too Much Waffle

    Not bad but far too much inane, uninteresting chit chat before we get down to the nitty gritty. The commentaries really don’t work either.

    All in all the definition of mediocre.

    Ghastly hosts too. People Id cross the street to avoid.

  • A delightful ongoing conversation

    Thank you to the Three Who Rule for being there for me— I do t have anyone close to me who loves the show as much as I do, and you three have been such a formative influence for what makes this fandom so special. Thanks for being mostly positive and loving toward the show and its fans, for sharing so much about the people and technologies that make the show what it is, and for being yourselves. You are appreciated and I enjoy listening to each episode.

  • Everything you didn’t know

And while it can be a bit mundane like special features on a bluray, that’s really the charm. The hosts are enjoyable to listen too. It’s like if my buddies all cared about Doctor Who like I do and we got together to talk about it once a week. And some how we had money to spend on blu rays. The hosts have good voices to listen... more
