Tests From The Future

No, we didn't resurrect someone. No, we didn't wake someone from hibernation. And no, we didn't talk to someone through some kind of interdimensional rift. This time we genuinely spoke with someone from the 21st century! Not on purpose, obviously, but we immediately saw the opportunity to hear the first impressions of someone fresh to 2225. And we revel, at least a tiny bit, in bei

With Dirk on holiday, Simon decides to visit the 21st century once again. Using a smart trick, he manages to avoid being stuck in a small rural village, and gets to experience 21st century Frankfurt first hand. And, through a trick of fate, he actually bumps into the one person we know in that century. Who is that? Hint; she doesn't believe in any of this! To confirm this episode

A premiere for the show; for the very first time we record the podcast in the 21st century! Yes, we've done it! Although the 'rules' are pretty challenging, we wanted to give it a shot anyway. Get ready to find out everything about a small rural village in 21st century Germany at night time. Think closed bakeries, closed flower shops and closed kiosks. Luckily we meet somebody at t

Are we for real? Did Simon actually do some time traveling? Let's find out by asking him tons of questions! Where to? When to? And how did he get the sun glasses? We'll find out how he has been getting around (or not), how he has been buying things (or not) and who he has been talking to (or not). And, we end with a time travelling joke!

Just because we have world peace, it doesn't mean we can't have superheroes! In today's episode we discuss one of them; Moustarrow. Or as they used to be called when they weren't so famous yet; Schnurrpfeil. We actually got to talk to them in person, so we have all kinds of information that even most 23rd century people don't know. And talking about information that some people don

It's Solstice time! Or at least it was a few days ago and that means we get to talk about all the presents we got! One of our presents involved dirt and one involved uranium. Guess which one we talk about more! Hint; it radiates light and warmth and is not dangerous at all. It does have a few weird side effects though, so the end of the episode is a little unusual.

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?

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. To confirm this episode went back i

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 s

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
