The love for Doctor Who and indeed humanity itself continues, with many a Doctor thanking the NHS for their sterling service this week, a new tweetalong with the inestimable Paul Cornell and his stories "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood", and extra bonus prequel/epilogue material for those same stories. And he's not the only wordsmith cranking out the characters as Joy Wilkinson of "The Witchfinders" fame penned a short story as well! Plus there's the first two parts of our "Frontier in Space" commentary! Let's not forget our special guest Chip Sudderth, our fourth Beatle and eternal chum! He's here for more than two minutes!

SwarmFest 2020 continues and with it we have a Doctor Who tsunami of tweetalongs, tie-ins, and tat, which makes up for conventions as far and wide as San Diego and London going online (in the case of DWAS's CapitalCon) and just flat out not happening (SDCC). But if you're looking for premium Doctor Who online content, we have our latest Miniscope examining the work of last week's interview subject, Paul Wilmshurst, that work being his directorship of "Kill The Moon", "Mummy on the Orient Express", and "Last Christmas"! And if you like math, contagion, and the analysis of such things, we also have noted author, mathematician and man about town Robert Smith? popping by! Links: Support Radio Free Skaro on Patreon!

As we continue to hide in our own personal escape pods from Swarm 2020, we're joined my writer, playwright and Resurrector of the Daleks Robert Shearman, who tells us firsthand about dealing with COVID-19, finishing his new book "We All Hear Stories in the Dark", and chimes in on the latest Who news and various other bits of balderdash. And not only that, we have an interview with Paul Wilmshurst, director of Series 8 episodes "Kill The Moon", "Mummy on the Orient Express", and "Last Christmas"!
