• 193: Alchemy For Dummies
    Dec 22 2024

    You've heard a lot about the 23rd century already, and you sure know your way around the 21st. But how about the 22nd century? You know, that century where alchemy was still a thing? Well, we found a book from that time, about that topic, and we try it out straight away! Who needs plastic forks anyway? Also, why is Simon late again?

  • 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!

  • 189: Voices of Nature
    Nov 24 2024

    Nature doesn't traditionally speak for itself, so who takes its side when big decisions are made? Well… the future also found a solution for that! Say hello to the Voice of Nature. Every company and organisation has one and they have real power, not like those ethics councils! This episode isn't just about the VONs though. During the recording, we actually have somebody giving us podcasting tips and we feel all professional about it.

  • 188: Conversations With the Afterlife
    Nov 17 2024

    66G rolled out not too long ago, and with it came many new possibilities. One of the most interesting ones is the possibility to talk directly to the afterlife. How did we handle things before? You'll find out during this episode. What are some of the remaining challenges? You'll also find that out. What did we learn about the afterlife so far? You'll kind of find out. And how does it work exactly? Well… we sort of skip over that. On the other hand, there's a robot joke at the end!

  • 187: Live From a Tree House
    Nov 10 2024

    Do you know those apartments that are really high up in a tree? Where waterfalls flow down and drones fly up? Where there are not just bathrobes in the closets, but also squirrel suits? Where other guests walk their dogs on your balcony? If you answered yes to all of those questions, you might want to consider skipping this episode. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the show!

  • 186: The Salt Water Scandal
    Nov 3 2024

    And there we were, thinking that our alien friends, the Luminati, were sooo perfect. As it turns out, they have been stealing our salt water all this time! As a souvenir, no less! Apparently having a planet full of salty water is pretty rare, galactically speaking. How did it get that far? How did they even do it? And has it really been three years since our first episode reached the 21st century? You'll learn all those things in this episode.
