Comic Talk, Previews and Reviews! Joining us for this multi-topic episode is Juan Castro, comic book Inker, Illustrator, and ultra-talented member in the CGS Community! Along with hearing about Juan's latest projects and his appearance at La Mole Convention in March, we also discuss comic book inking, give our recommendations for April comic coming attractions, give thoughts on Cheetah & Cheshire, Wonder Man, the Muppet Show Special, and this year's Gallifrey One, and so much more!

Pull To Open goes on location! Pete and Chris hit Gallifrey One in Los Angeles as total Gally virgins, gawping at “chemicals on fire” sunsets, accidentally learning how expensive fandom can be, and collecting hot takes like they're limited-edition prints. Along the way: Peter Davison (and the Tom Baker advice he still can't hear), Millie Gibson popping in like it's no big deal, and a convention floor vibe check that can best be summarized by one hoodie: “I told you Disney was a bad idea.” Plus: fans tell us where Doctor Who goes next… including the boldest pitch of all: put it on YouTube.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open BingoPull To Open: Gallifrey One RecapSeason 7Episode 4Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish©️AnyWho Media LLC 2026Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963
We're back at it after Gallifrey One (and some con crud for Taylor), reviewing episode three of The War Between the Land and the Sea! SPOILER ALERT!! There are some things that happen in this episode that you might not want to know about before actually watching it (or maybe you do, we don't judge). We're also assuming you've watched TWBTLATS if you're listening to this. Because we know it's not just for our handsome radio voices. Anyway! You've been warned!

It's Gallifrey One time! While the Canadian contingent in Los Angeles this year was low (including both Warren and Chris, who like many Canadians chose not to frequent the environs of our troubled neighbours), Steven represented both the Embassy of Radio Free Skaro, and the nation of Canada (the latter unofficially). Erika from Verity! and Chip from 2MTL join Steven in recapping this weekend's convention, including talks of panels, and going inside with the many main stage interviews that Steven performed.

A sad time in the world of Doctor Who as we mark the passing of writing titan Christopher H. Bidmead, and to join us in reflecting on both his work and life is Andrew Smith, writer of “Full Circle”, Big Finish dynamo, and friend of the esteemed Mr. Bidmead. Andrew looks back at getting his first break in TV due to Bidmead, working with him on behind the scenes features, and the man's general approach to Doctor Who, including an infusion of science and a real sense of continuity where none previously existed.

Hello dear listener! Dave's taken a leave of absence (we'll do the planned FATHER TIME episode next month), and tonight Rob is talking to the self-professed 'Pip & Jane Baker of co-hosts', Mike Solko, on a missing story from Season 23 of Doctor Who, PARADISE 5. Before then, all the usual news and short topics you've come to expect – including surprise showrunner talk from RTD, and new trailers for Season 2 of the show. In Short Topics, Mike covers the changes coming to Gallifrey One (the world's largest and longest-running annual Doctor Who fan convention), in the years ahead. Later on, after the Paradise 5 section, we have a ton of listener feedback and what we've been watching this past month. Something for everyone! Fill your boots! You can follow us on X @theDWshow or Bluesky @thedwshow.net or email us about anything you like at: hello@theDWshow.net For more of Mike on our podcast feed, check out: August 21, 2022: Primary Sources – December 1995 August 26, 2018: 40 Companions in 40 Minutes (Almost) May 28, 2017: Season 27, Big Finish Style March 5, 2017: The DW Show Presents: Gallifrey One

Folks, we are back into the swing of things post-Gallifrey One and we have our annual post-Gally "episode suggested by our friend Mike"! This time around, Mike has suggested RTD's very first series: Dark Season! Originally made for kids back in 1991, it's clear that RTD really wanted to write for Doctor Who because RTD's style and The Doctor's fingerprints are all over this six-part series! So grab a paddle and wear something really pastel and let's dive in!
Marvel's big event has begun and the Speakers of Geek give their thoughts on the first issue of One World Under Doom by Ryan North, R.B. Silva, David Curiel, Travis Lanham and company. Doctor Doom has made his move and is now in control of the world! We discuss his possible motivations, the gathering of the heroes in opposition, the art, and speculate on future developments. And then we close with Pants' recent trip to Gallifrey One. Only Doom can save you - but will he? (48:43)
It's the week after Gallifrey One which means two things: post-Gally malaise AND a giant pile of news, including a release date of April 12 for Season 2 on iPlayer (and also theoretically Disney Plus), speculation on the future of Doctor Who as per usual, a boatload of Big Finish, new books, a new RTD-penned series called “Tip-Toe” coming next year to Channel 4, and endless Youtube cogitation mostly revolving around Steven reacting to things. Take a listen if you dare!

It's a bittersweet podcast today as we wrap up what has been a fantastic weekend at Gallifrey One, our home away from home. But it's even more sad as it's been announced that Gallifrey One will end its unprecedented run of conventions in 2028. It will take a while for the Three Who Rule to process this (probably more than the three years the convention has left), but fun is still had with Doctor Who writer Andrew Smith joining the Three for a recap of the convention, Big Finish secrets, and naturally, talk of The Sandbaggers.

It's Gallifrey One, it's the start of a mammoth weekend for Doctor Who fans, and it is a milestone for the Three Who Rule – their ONE THOUSANDTH episode! And what better way to pass the one thousand barrier than a full length interview with Doctor Who writer and former show runner Steven Moffat, and current Doctor Who executive producer Julie Gardner! Thanks to Shaun Lyon, Graham Kibble-White, Jack Kibble-White, Ken Deep, and special thanks to Paul McGann for narrating our opening video! Links: Support Radio Free Skaro on Patreon Gallifrey One
It's that time of year again, our pre-Gallifrey One rundown of the greatest convention on Earth as we go through the schedule with a fine tooth comb, examine which panels and other events we and others are excited about, and as a special bonus this year you'll get to hear Steven go completely off the rails about UK television stalwart Z-Cars! Next stop: Gallifrey One, and Episode 1000 with Steven Moffat and Julie Gardner LIVE on stage on Friday!
