    Ep14 - Final MixTape

    In this final(!?) episode, we talk some Beethoven and we go through the last of the photos from Scenes of Earth. No really, we finish reviewing the whole record in this episode! We also present our long promised wedding playlists made solely from VGR music. So long, everyone!

    Ep13 - Nerf's MixTape

    We're almost done! In this tangent-filled episode, we cover music from India ("Jaat Kahan Ho") and the US ("Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground"). We take a look at a dozen photos showing modern (that is, 1970s) technology. Other topics include: Pirate Knowledge! Swingsters! Sagan Quotes! People with terrible senses of humour! Plus: we consider whether the OSPs are already among us and living in Florida!

    Sounds of Earth Special

    For this special episode, Mike takes the role of game show host while Hannah and Roby compete to see who can identify the noises included in the Voyager Golden Record's Sounds of Earth montage. We also cover how the montage was put together, where they got the clips from, and (sigh) the love life of one Carl Edward Sagan. We avoided it for as long as we could!

We have an edifying talk about edifaces of all sizes from the Scenes of Earth. Other topics include: Marriage Experiments! Birthday shenanigans! Chill 70s vibes! Frogs and Pigs! All this plus how to avoid getting "independence day'ed" by the OSPs!

    Ep10 - Serf's MixTape

    In this dog-filled episode, we talk about Bulgarian folk music ("Izlel je Delyo Hagdutin") and music from the Navajo Nation ("Navajo Night Chant"). We look at photos showing people living their best lives from around the world! Other topics include: Outlaw Heroes! Jane Goodall! Is hunting a "bummer"? The Tintin movie! And Mike and Hannah play a rousing game of "Is that a dog or an antelope?"

    Ep09 - AstroTurf's MixTape

    In this astonishing and grandiose episode, we talk about two fine examples of Western Classical music with selections from Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier" and Beethoven's 5th Symphony. We look at photos showing a fast, non-linear trip up the evolutionary ladder for our planet's fauna! Other topics include: tempered scales, harpsichord duels, evolution confusion, the tragic life of Beethoven, and much more! Warning: we get pretty mad in this one.

    Ep08 - Turf's MixTape

    We get into music from Azerbaijan ("Ugam") and Europe ("Sacrificial Dance from The Rite of Spring"). We look at photos showing a small cross-section of earth flora. We talk about how the VGR people may have managed to get both the title and the instrument used in "Ugam" incorrect! We get into other hard questions such as "Why do people rake leaves?" and "Just how long would it take to dance yourself to death?". Plus, Mike questions the whole recurring UFO segment!
