Radio Free Skaro #926 - Unconfidential
Doctor Who has been Unleashed! Yes, Confidential is returning in the form of Doctor Who: Unleashed and roaming around biting people and then having a nap or possibly catching a frisbee in its teeth. In reality a whole new generation of behind-the-scenes nerds will have a new look at the process of making Doctor Who, which is most exciting. There’s also the Doctor Who @60 concert, which is headed to the iPlayer and BBC Sounds on October 15 and will include the new Who theme along with other new and old material, which is most exciting. Plus Doctor Who RPG news, Simon Guerrier’s two new David Whitaker-themed books, another chapter in the ongoing Season 20 Blu-Ray scandal, and Part Three of our Classic Series Commentary for “Mawdryn Undead”!

Radio Free Skaro #928 - The Tribe of None
If you’re looking for new things to hum as you while away the days to the 60th anniversary and its specials, wait no more! The new arrangement of the Doctor Who theme tune is now in the wild, along with the Fifteenth Doctor’s theme just aching to bust out of your speakers and into your heart. You’ll need all that love because although the BBC will soon put almost all of Classic Who and the various spinoffs on the iPlayer, "An Unearthly Child" is a bone of contention between the son of writer Anthony Coburn and...the rest of the internet. Plus we have Disney+ intrigue and speculation, a new edition of Outside In, music and audio news, and part the fourth of Classic Series Commentary for "Mawdryn Undead"!
