    235: Build Your Own Starfury

    After spending several days in this rented hangar, building our own Starfury, we present our somewhat mixed results. We do actually explain what a Starfury is at some point, but not before we tell you all about our current location, its features and its neighbours. And we don't shy away from admitting that we actually couldn't get the thing to work. Maybe we should've used the Allen Wrench more?

    234: Wonderchild

    Once a child, now a grownup. Once bestowed with superpowers, now still bestowed with superpowers. How is life as a former child superhero? How applicable are superpowers to 23rd century every day life? And how do you even find out that you can breathe underground? In this episode we dissect the life of another 23rd century celebrity, and also give you a quick update on Simon's life as a Person of Leisure.

    233: Shapeshifters vs. Skinwalkers

    We're doing it again! We both take up opposite positions on the spectrum between shapeshifting and skinwalking. Which is best? Which one of us has the most convincing arguments? Which one of us folds first? And which one of us gets distracted first and talks about lamp posts, LEGO, symmetrical pizzas and company meetings? Spoiler for that last bit; both of us!

    232: ReCreation

    They finished the ReCreation on the ground floor of Simon's building, so we decided to take a look. ReCreations are specifically aimed at robots, so we made sure to go with a few of our robot friends. We'll talk about the grand opening, discuss some of the services they offer, and speculate about which of the services could theoretically apply to humans too. Also, we reveal the perfect trick to get rid of an earworm! To confirm this episode went back in time, please email michaellasagna5@gmail.com with the episode number in the subject line.

    231: 21st Century Apartment

    Simon got the keys to a very unique apartment in his building. What's special about it is that nobody has been seen entering or leaving the place for almost 200 years. We'll take you on a tour past dust, cobwebs, bulky computers and piles of crumbling newspapers. Now we know how 21st century people lived!

    230: Pinball Star Track

    Simon won some last minute tickets to the Pinball Star Track, and he didn't even know he'd entered the lottery! We queue up outside the stadium and record our anticipatory experience. What's a Pinball Star Track race like? What do the other spectators look like? And who wants some nuts? And, not unimportantly, why do they split the queue?

    229: CSI: The Moon (Part 2)

    Well, it sure has been a week to remember! We're still trying to solve the case from last week, but there have been some developments that have put quite a different spin on the whole thing. In this episode we explain everything that's happened since you last heard us. You'll hear more about bulgur and less about rabid dogs. And you'll sure find out why the Luminati weren't as worried as we were! We even watch some more camera recordings live on the show to see if they help us solve the case… To confirm this episode went back in time, please email michaellasagna5@gmail.com with the episode number in the subject line.

    228: CSI: The Moon (Part 1)

    This episode is not for the faint of heart! It contains words like blood, murder, brain damage and pencil case. Why is that? Unfortunately, in a future that is almost free of crime, a murdered alien gets a whole lot of attention. And because there was no such thing as an intergalactic police force, the UFOPOO assigned the case to Dirk, and Dirk asked Simon to help him investigate. In this episode we go over all the clues we have so far and discuss all the 'persons of interest'. But first we talk about what's currently parked on Dirk's balcony!
