- Comedy
Live from the 23rd century! Simon and Dirk record a weekly podcast, talking about recent technologies, discoveries and innovations. It's not aimed at people from their own time though. You see, with this podcast Simon and Dirk are trying to reach the people of the 21st century - an age in which technology was still cool and relevant. It seems to be working, but for some reason, episodes can only go back exactly 200 years. Get ready for the newest info on teleportation, robots and malfunctioning food conglomerators!

163: Artichokes
You waited seven days for a whole new episode and all you got was "Artichokes"! Well, these inconspicuous little vegetables might just bear a little secret that neither you, nor we, saw coming. At least not until the aliens landed 25 years ago. We'll give a few hints; it has something to do with patterns, shopping and the difference between freshly produced and plainfully printed pizzas. Oh, and we also mention which movies we look forward to!

162: Crazy Teleporter Locations
Teleporters allow you to transport pretty much anywhere. And just how far this 'anywhere' goes, you'll find out in this episode. As it turns out, many a crazy location has something to do with animals. And mummies! We also talk a little bit about our experiences with dialling the wrong number and the popular teleporter feature 'I feel lucky'.

161: BackRubbots
They have roughly eight arms, enjoy a good conversation, and often live in ceiling fans. That's right, it's BackRubbots! And in this episode you'll find out all about them. What kinds are there? We'll let you know! Do we like them? We'll let you know! What do starfish have to do with them? We'll let you know! And what about minotaurs? We'll let you… uhm… no, that's nonsense.

160: Rock Faces
We have to 'face' the truth in this episode. The rock faces that we've known all our lives apparently weren't around in the 21st century. There are thousands of these massive rock heads scattered throughout the landscape, so they really couldn't have been overlooked. In this episode, we try to figure out what happened, without getting 'ahead' of ourselves. To make it even more interesting, Marvin joins us again, but this time as a co-host! 'Rock' on!

159: Interview with a Robot
After more than two years, it was about time! We finally have a robot on the show. And it's even one that we didn't know until last week. After meeting him at the European Portal Triathlon, we asked Marvin if he wouldn't mind answering some questions on air. And he wouldn't! So, if you want to find out what it's like to be surrounded by beings that are infinitely worse than you at everything, don't hesitate to tune in!
