Tests From The Future

• 243: Dating in the Future

  We've received quite a few emails about this topic over the last four years and after more than 200 episodes maybe it is indeed time for us to talk about dating in the 23rd century. Besides our usual chit-chat about using teleporters to fetch that forgotten bouquet of flowers while pretending to go to the bathroom, we also dive a little deeper into why people date and what types of relationship exist in the future. We even reveal a tiny bit more about our personal lives!To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 243 in the subject line.

• 242: Oxygen Absorbers

  Oxygen Absorbers were one of the more interesting items on the Space Tour packing list, and we took today's visit to Bad City as an opportunity to go shopping for them already. We ended up buying several different batches at a good price and in today's episode we'll tell you what they are, how you use them, and why a planet made of velcro would be particularly exciting in this context.To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 242 in the subject line.

• 241: Televator

  We don't know where it came from, but suddenly everybody needs to have a Televator! So we borrowed one from Simon's new neighbour, and familiarise you (and ourselves) with the device during today's episode. We also have some slight followup to last week's episode at the start and more information about sentient birds at the end. So there's really something for everybody this time!To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 241 in the subject line.

• 240: Bubble Condo

  Imagine the following: you go somewhere that's not very habitable; you lay down the small suitcase you brought along; and then you push a button by its handle. Within seconds a highly sophisticated condo appears! Totally transparent, a little bit bouncy, and very much cutting edge, meet the so-called Bubble Condo. And if the actual topic isn't already something to be joyous about, wait until you learn how we heard about it!To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 240 in the subject line.

• 239: Flutterby

  Everybody flap your hands! Or your arms rather! To create a quarter-gravity-field! So that you can fly! Sounds like a lot of effort for something you can also do with… less effort? Sure, but using a Flutterby is simply a lot more fun! In this episode we discuss the ins and outs of this rather eccentric piece of technology and also answer a listener, who inquired after the fate of certain 21st century gadgets, such as pencils and doggy bags.To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 239 in the subject line.
