RFS @ Gallifrey ’09 : February 13-16
As we at Radio Free Skaro make our grand public debut at Gallifrey ’09 in Los Angeles this weekend, feel free to follow our exploits at :
– www.radiofreeskaro.com (This site, but you probably already knew that). This is the home base for our whole operation. There will be daily podcasts, each becoming more and more incoherent as the intake of alcohol increases over the course of the weekend. There may even be some surprise guests! (Well, you can’t rule it out.)
– www.twitter.com/radiofreeskaro (Twitter!). RFS, along with its three intrepid hosts – Warren, Chris, and myself – can all be found on the ever-popular Twitter, texting and typing our more immediate reactions to the happenings at the convention. Please drop by Twitter and follow us as our egos can always need boosting.
– www.radiofreeskaro.blogspot.com (The Chronic Hysteresis). This is my (Steven) own RFS-related blog on which I will keep a journal of my (PG-13) thoughts over the weekend and the days leading up to it. After the furore of Gallifrey 2009 (Gally?) dies down, The Chronic Hysteresis will become the home of my year-long quest to watch and review every single Doctor Who episode in existence. Stay tuned!
Thanks, all, for listening, and we hope you enjoy reading/hearing about the convention as I’m sure we will enjoy telling you about it.
Radio Free Skaro #121 – Vardans at the Gate
In this penultimate episode before the Three Who Rule arrive in Los Angeles and dispense their own particular brand of Canadian havoc, the news was sparse but the banter broad, ranging from Al Waxman’s storied career all the way to….well, the shenanigans to come at Gallifrey 2009.

Radio Free Skaro Presents: An interview with Pia Guerra
Pia Guerra is widely known as the artist behind the award winning “Y: The Last Man” comic series. But she’s also the artist on “Doctor Who – The Forgotten“, a new series starring everyone’s favorite Time Lord (in multiple incarnations). Oh yes, and a devoted Whovian. Radio Free Skaro‘s Warren Frey visited Pia in her Vancouver studio and got a peek at the creative process behind the comic (and her truly daunting collection of Who figures.)
Radio Free Skaro #120 – The Return of Pedantor
This week saw a surfeit of news for the Three Who Rule to chew over, and masticate they did as they analyzed, cogitated…and digressed into discussions of Matt Houston, black and white action figures, the questionable acting talents of one Derek Jacobi, and a beast named Pedantor.

Radio Free Skaro #119 – Fall Guys
The Three Who Rule had barely any news to discuss this week, but that didn’t stop them from talking about the upcoming Gallifrey convention in LA, mysterious destroyed buses in Dubai, and (of all things) 80’s Lee Majors vehicle “The Fall Guy.” You have been warned.

Radio Free Skaro #118 – By Hook or By Crook
The Three Who Rule plunged forward as usual into the exciting world of Doctor Who news and other related shenanigans, but took time to examine the gloriousness that was The Prisoner, the late Patrick McGoohan’s psychedelic masterpiece. Be seeing you!

Radio Free Skaro #117 – Fool’s Reunion
After a dusty couple of weeks battling Sutekh, the Hand of Sutekh, and mysterious fez-clad villains, Warren returned to North American soil from Egypt a little dusty but still full of verve for all things Who. Of course, now that the new Doctor has been announced, along with the airing of the Next Doctor, there was little in the way of real news to discuss, so the Three Who Rule made do with fawning over the impossibly cute Character Options figures due later this year, along with digressions into the works of Clint Eastwood and Tombstone, Kurt Russell’s mustachioed magnum opus.

Radio Free Skaro #115 – No Warren, No Cry
With Warren in Egypt seeking to be the plaything of Sutekh, it was left to Chris and Steven to hash out their opinions of the recent Doctor Who Christmas special “The Next Doctor”. As if an RFS episode without Warren wasn’t weird enough, both Chris and Steven were actually in the same room to record this week’s installment. The resulting proximity meant that the duo stayed remarkably on topic, but still managed to find time to comment on Survivors, Coronation Street and Canada’s chances at the World Junior hockey tournament. Behold!

More from The Third Guy
Chris, the venerable Third Guy, recently appeared on the podcast “Tim’s Take On…” when he joined the prolific Tim Drury and others on a pub crawl in central London to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Doctor Who. Join the fun with some of the folks from a London Doctor Who meetup group and cast your memories back to some classic stories as London sights are discussed.

Radio Free Skaro #116 – Ghostly Matt-ers

While Warren battles gun-wielding, fez-wearing servants of Sutekh, Steven and Chris discuss the big news of the announcement of David Tennant’s replacement in Who’s eponymous role. The Two of the Three compare the nascent Mr. Smith’s ascension with the oncoming of past Doctors of yore and ultimately conclude it’s far too early to know what to expect from this whippersnapper. The discussion by way of commentary of Ghost Light also occurs as the remaining hosts take on the much-overlooked Season 26 story, no doubt to the delight of the erstwhile McCoy-bashing Mr. Frey.
