  • Podluck is like potluck, but on a podcast. Which means that you get to listen to us taste randomly generated food! You won't just listen to us press buttons and describe what the food looks like, but you'll actually hear us munch on things. Expect classics, like chocolate biscuits and kinderkaffee, as well as pretty outrageous dishes, like a fishbowl canapé. Yum!

  • Hold on, the robots have risen up against the humans? Seriously?! That's not good. This episode is a little different than usual, starting with the fact that Dirk wakes Simon up in the middle of the night, to give him the bad news, and then follows that up with more bad news…

  • Dirk won an Orbital Glyder in a raffle at work. We're not sure if it works, but - as usual - that doesn't stop us from talking about it! What's it supposed to do, you wonder? Well, we actually ask you that this very episode, in the form of a multiple choice question. There are some hints from the beginning, so pay attention! And as the Orbital Glyder is at Dirk's apartment, we'll record there for a change. As a nice bonus, you'll get to hear about all things chrome!

  • We just had a thought. How about we turn our recent discovery into a business model? Since we can sort of time travel now, we might as well make a few 'moneys' with it. In this episode we brainstorm a little about what our trips would be like, 'when' we would be going to, and what we would call ourselves. We also talk about death! Do we allow travelers from the past to find out when they die? And what happens to their death in the past when they die in the future? Not that this would happen of course! Stay tuned.

  • Let's clear this up once and for all. Yes, Earth started warming up quite dramatically at the end of the 21st century. And yes, the counter measures worked so well that Earth started cooling down quite dramatically after that. But yes, we're all fine now, no need to worry! Today we'll explain exactly what happened, what WOIL and BOIL have to do with anything, and what a Sahara Iceberg is. All the hot news and all the cool details!

  • If you can't see it, does it really exist? Well, if it plays music and smells of speculaas, then sure! When a Nano Sphere randomly floated into the room earlier today, we immediately closed all the doors and windows, so we could listen to it and talk about it on the show at the same time. We don't know what it is, where it comes from or why it even exists, but that hasn't stopped us taking about things before and sure isn't going to stop us now! Also, what happened to Hong Kong? Now, that we know!

It's quite an exciting story! It has lemonade swimming pools, applause days, officially regulated anarchy, and quirky little wooden souvenirs.

Today we give you all the ins and some of the outs on the newest iteration of the Space Catapult. To complicate things a little, Dirk brought along a grumpy guest, who doesn't actually speak, but has a way of making its presence known.

Okay, that last part was a bit exaggerated, but either way, we have a lot to talk about today. And we also briefly look back at our (after) party and answer a listener question about making money too. Will we manage to release such a busy episode on time, you're thinking?

  • 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 being right about this whole time travel business (#bonuspoints). Also, when we say 'we', 'we' mean just Simon - or, as our guest calls him; Future Boy.

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 the train station who speaks English! We wonder if they finally believed that we were from the future after we suddenly disappeared…
