Radio Free Skaro #891 – To Where You Once Belonged
It’s the preamble to the most wonderful time of the year as we eschew the news of the week and go full bore with our annual Gallifrey One preview! Listen to us cogitate about the first Gally since 2020 (and the pandemic) to feature attendance by every single one of the Three Who Rule who will open the con with our live show Get Back at 11 a.m. Friday the 17th! As is tradition, we go through the stuffed to the gills schedule and highlight both things were looking forward to and panels, photo ops, commentaries and more that you might wish to attend, should you be in Los Angeles!

Radio Free Skaro #890 – Mrah Business
It’s just under two weeks until the Three Who Rule descend upon the LAX Marriott for Gallifrey One….which is now sold out! In the meantime RTD hints at all of Doctor Who once again gracing the iPlayer, there’s mmmrahhhh business to speak of involving BBC Studios bigwig talk of growth, mergers and acquisitions and other such financial tomfoolery, along with an “impossible” new TARDIS set and The Timelash, where we travel back in time to guess and frankly make things up about the week in Doctor Who!

Radio Free Skaro #889 – Spin City
Finally our live show can be revealed as we Get Back to Gallifrey One in Los Angeles, CA! Plus the Gally schedule is out in the wild, there are updates afoot about said convention, and RTD is confirming spinoffs but not confirming Edgar Wright as a future director, whatever misleading GQ headlines may imply. And to continue the string of new and exciting content Jo Jones appears in a trailer for the Season 9 – The Collection set, news of LI Who guests, and of course the feature we love and you tolerate, The Timelash!
