'''Radio Free Decipher''' ('''RFD''') was Decipher's weekly RealAudio show, 4 December 1998 – 30 April 2004, about 196 episodes. It predated the word podcast. Topics included SWCCG, Young Jedi, Jedi Knights, Star Trek CCG, Austin Powers, spoilers, DecipherCon, and staff interviews.

[[Carol Wisely]] (VP of Marketing) hosted originally. After episode 30, [[Kyle Heuer]] and Evan Lorentz took over regular hosting. Early SWCCG-heavy episodes also feature [[Kendrick Summers]], [[Jerry Darcy]], [[Chuck Kallenbach]], [[Tom Lischke]], [[Kevin Reitzel]], [[Sandy Wible]], [[Bill Martinson]], [[Justin Pakes]], [[Joe Alread]], [[Marcus Certa]], and squadron call-ins ([[Alex Alcalde]], [[Carl "Mike" Hardy]], [[Guy Kargl]]).

The LOTR-TCG Players Committee rehosted surviving audio on YouTube (Player's Council channel) and keeps an episode index. Many Wayback files truncate at 1 MB (~8:43) because of a contemporary RealAudio streaming bug; Evan Lorentz's files filled most gaps. A handful of episodes remain missing.

Successors: Decipher WARS Radio (25 June 2004 – 21 January 2005, host [[Mark Tuttle]]) and a short Decipher Games Radio (March 2005).
