  • 192: MMAcevedo
    Dec 15 2024

    Is it a clone? No! Is it a doppelgänger? No! It is MMAcevedo, the world's first snapshot of a human brain. Almost two centuries old, it's been used so often that there must be hundreds of thousands of Miguels - as they are commonly known - by now. How this came to be, and what that means for us, we'll discuss in this episode. That and cheetahs.

  • 191: Upgrade Season
    Dec 8 2024

    Since starting the show over three years ago, some of the devices we discussed in earlier episodes have changed quite a bit. The future isn't static, you know! With Solstice coming up, almost every device received an upgrade, and we'll bring you up to date on all of them. Think food conglomerators that can now make food that is safe for aliens, and submarines with creative naming schemes. It's upgrade season!

  • 190: Bizarro Episode
    Dec 1 2024

    Hello, dear 23rd century listeners! Here's your weekly podcast from the 21st century. This week we'll tell you all about how our day was. Spoiler; it involved Facebook, the Apple Store and Game of Thrones. And then we answer all your questions about 21st century food. Yes, a steak is made of a real dead animal. But no, a shepherd's pie doesn't have any real shepherd in it. Also, we explain when 21st century people manage to have a little fun. See you in 200 years!
