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.

I don’t mind critical opinions. But the show even speaks of the FORTHCOMING Sea Devils miniseries as if it is obviously stupid and that they’re doing the listener a favor by even watching it. Very tiresome.

Not to take away from whatever the Patreon has to offer, I just wanted to say I enjoy all the chatter up top!!
I used to love this podcast as my only source of doctor who commentary as an American. Lately it seems they don’t even enjoy watching the episodes and their reviews are just so negative. They just suggested the show should take a multi year hiatus instead of let RTD continue. I had to turn it off and it’s likely the last time I’ll listen.
Engine was so boring.
And YOU know it.
Also… RFS called for the death of billionaires.
