Radio Free Skaro #1083 – Journey Through Ignorance

Download MP3

The War between the Galactic Republic (Canada) and the Trade Federation (America) continues and is finally affecting things that actually matter like Doctor Who as Catherine Tate and other guests have bowed out of Edmonton Expo due to overcomplicated plane shenanigans as available flights plummet between our two nations! In better news, Steven sings the praises of the BBC show Ludwig, which is like Doctor Who if Doctor Who was a crime procedural, and Gallifrey One continues with their second wave of guest announcements! Plus more exciting Circuit Breaker updates, New Paradigm Dalek dollies, more mutant heads aka Funko Pops, and another edition of The Timelash!

#DoctorWho #BigFinish listeners! I've quite liked the David Bradley-led First Doctor Adventures, but I've listened to them all. What are some good First Doctor audios with the other performers who've portrayed him?

Started listening to the Culshaw-voiced Capaldi audios, and boy, that impression is NOT there yet.

It'll get better, and I'll get used to it, with time, but right now it's giving Nick Briggs-voiced Eccleston — to call it "basically functional" is still being polite.

Master, Daleks and Three Witches • TARDIS Guide Weekly

New releases bring the Decayed Master, Daleks and three witches to TARDIS Guide this week, alongside Don’t Blink! and five Story Club picks.... #DoctorWho #BigFinish

https://tardis.guide/2026/08/master-daleks-and-three-witches-tardis-guide-weekly/

It's wild the hit rate I've had with 6th Doctor Big Finishes. Listened through an 8th Doctor one I thought was just okay, started a 4th Doctor one and wasn't really feeling it, started a 5th Doctor one and wasn't really feeling it, then started listening to The Widow's Assassin and instantly adored it.

Rather disturbed by #BigFinish revamping their website again (tho seemingly going better than last time they tried this), without any customer warning, and while I still had outstanding #DoctorWho and other audio dramas to download. Have now downloaded my remaining ones. Customer since 2003.

The Big Finish mobile app is still not able to download new audios yet, while app updates are pushed thru. Website accessibility problems on mobile and low-res desktop. DRM-free audio downloads are working.

I am currently stumbling my way through the #DoctorWho EDA novels, the majority of which are... not great. But more than anything I getting irritated at the big swings the books are taking with the continuity, all of which are contradicted by the later #BigFinish stories. Hopefully the Faction Paradox press a reset switch or some such bobbins.

Circuit Breaker starts next week!

Get all the info, where to start, and what to expect, in our brand new Guide!

Radio Free Skaro #1070 – Do They Know It’s Christmas?

Jingle bells are probably silent this Christmas as, if RTD’s hinting in the UK media has led the Three Who Rule to conclude, after Mr. Davies stating he won’t be filming anything this year, so…whither Doctor Who Christmas Special?

We also look into the spectacular looking 4K release of the 1996 TV Movie, our thoughts on the Mandolorian and Grogu, the usual Big Finish Zaprudering, and an interview with Sophie Aldred, Paul Cornell and author Adrian Tchaikovsky and their involvement in the Salvation’s Child graphic novel!
