Nature doesn't traditionally speak for itself, so who takes its side when big decisions are made? Well… the future also found a solution for that! Say hello to the Voice of Nature. Every company and organisation has one and they have real power, not like those ethics councils! This episode isn't just about the VONs though. During the recording, we actually have somebody giving us podcasting tips and we feel all professional about it.

66G rolled out not too long ago, and with it came many new possibilities. One of the most interesting ones is the possibility to talk directly to the afterlife. How did we handle things before? You'll find out during this episode. What are some of the remaining challenges? You'll also find that out. What did we learn about the afterlife so far? You'll kind of find out. And how does it work exactly? Well… we sort of skip over that. On the other hand, there's a robot joke at the end!

Do you know those apartments that are really high up in a tree? Where waterfalls flow down and drones fly up? Where there are not just bathrobes in the closets, but also squirrel suits? Where other guests walk their dogs on your balcony? If you answered yes to all of those questions, you might want to consider skipping this episode. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the show!

And there we were, thinking that our alien friends, the Luminati, were sooo perfect. As it turns out, they have been stealing our salt water all this time! As a souvenir, no less! Apparently having a planet full of salty water is pretty rare, galactically speaking. How did it get that far? How did they even do it? And has it really been three years since our first episode reached the 21st century? You'll learn all those things in this episode.

We visited a pretty rare location; a place where archeologists have unearthed a 21st century neighbourhood, where there's a museum that displays typical artifacts from the time. Sometimes there were information labels and sometimes we guessed what was going on. Did those chicken bones in the rubbish bin really mean 21st century people ate actual chickens? How did they keep their precious asphalt from deteriorating? And what was up with all those bottle caps?

Oh no! Against all expectations, fast space travel is getting delayed. As it turns out, we are missing one essential component, and it's nowhere to be found in our solar system. Before we figure out how to deal with that, project members are fired, new timelines are agreed on, and costs explode. In the meantime, if any of our listeners know how to get their hands on some good old fashioned hypogastrium, please let us know.

Remember 'The Greatest Discovery' as detailed in episode 145? It wasn't aliens, America, or even peanut butter and jam sandwiches; rather it was when the Fairy Tale Folk were discovered in the Caucasus, seven years ago. Since we received many questions about these people, we decided to dedicate a full episode to this discovery. Do you want to know how they got there? Why we only discovered them so late? If they use teleporters? What kind of music Hobbits like? We've got you covered.

Did you think that dragons were real when you were younger? As it turns out… you were right! They were real, and they can be again, and all you need to do is wait 200 years… or follow the instructions in this episode! We'll tell you the ingredients you need, what to do with them, and which challenges you might face along the way, including finding the time for these kinds of frivolities. But don't let that stop you; you may just soon be the creator of the very first 21st century dragon.

Remember that second universe? That spontaneously started appearing recently? As it turns out, its appearance was less spontaneous and more the result of the Partians wanting to prove that they were correct. The good news is they were indeed correct! The bad news is it might just be the end of everything. Let's see if we can fix that.

If there isn't a podcast episode about it, does it really exist? Well, for today's topic we don't need to worry about that anymore! And rather than just talking about it, we actually visit the (soon to be) largest skyscraper ever. We were supposed to get a guided tour of the construction site, but end up exploring it on our own, while sitting on a big robot fly. That's a first, even for us! We basically comment on what we see, interrupted by lots of background noise; it is a construction site after all!

Enough about technology! Today it's all about the people that have a big influence on life in the 23rd century. To change things up a bit, neither the listener, nor Simon, knows up front which 5 celebrities we'll be talking about. To give away a few things though; topics that you'll hear about today include smoothies, LEGO, Star Trek and carrot carving - basically everything you can expect from a podcast from the future!

Simon didn't show up for today's recording session and Dirk can’t even get into his apartment. So, what do 23rd century people do in such an emergency? They record a podcast episode about it! It's time to sort through the clues and speculate about different scenarios. Did somebody say pirates?

Simon has a mystery item on the wall, covered by a cloth. It's a Portal Window! You can map it to any other Portal Window, on Earth or elsewhere. It gives you nice views, nice smells and nice sounds. Or not so nice ones, if you're unlucky. It also opens the 'door' to many creative ideas, such as playing squash with yourself. We talk about some of these ideas, but also don't hesitate to touch upon other exciting topics, such as curtains and insect screens.

Did you know that a Moon day lasts 28 Earth days? If that sounds like an easy calculation, you'll be surprised at how complicated things can get. For example, if you're born on the Moon, when is your birthday? Or when does the weekend start? And do they have Mondays on the Moon? What does 'down to earth' mean up there? And do we still have honeymoons in the 23rd century? Better gear up for a genre that you didn't know existed; future vocabulary!

We actually wanted to talk some more about Globust Engines, but the news catches up with us. After Dirk noticed many Partians along the river on his way to Simon, we try to figure out what's going on, live on the show. As it turns out, Partians are relocating to Earth for the moment, while they sort out a few galactic challenges back home. We check out the cams and report what we see, and what we hear, and then we end early to go help out.

Listening back to last week's episode on our old iPod got us a bit worried. It sounds as if we were talking about the "extinct" golden toad, which is everything but extinct. It's actually a bit of a plague. That's not the worrying part though! While we can hear our own voices, we don't actually remember saying those things. And since the plague has been around forever, the things we seem to have said don't really make much sense anyway. Either way, we implore you, our 21st century listener; please don't touch anything!

This episode starts in Simon's apartment and ends high up in the sky above Cyprus. In between you'll hear about a mystery item, several banana peels, some incense and a campfire, while there'll be a bit of hoverboarding, teleporting, discussing campfires and, of course, we throw some water into the air. To top it all off, we read a listener email about golden toads in a place where no email has ever been read before! You know, your usual episode.

It's not uncommon for people in temperate regions to wish summer would last longer. Well, how about we prolong the season then? Because, on a country level, that's actually possible. It has a few small challenges, especially when neighbouring countries decide not to sync up, but all in all it opens up many possibilities. Longer summers are a no-brainer, but we also give examples for some of the other seasons. And of course we wonder what they think about all of that in Azerbaijan.

One of us got invited to join the People of Leisure program, so we take the opportunity to talk about it on the show. Through a set of AI-defined criteria, certain people are identified as being much better suited for leisure than for work. We talk about some of the criteria, as far as we've managed to figure them out, and we speculate about life as a person of leisure. We also answer a listener question about cake!
