Bit by bit the LMAO is revealing the program of the Space Tour and one of the stops will be the rather unique Radio Star. Besides the fact that you can listen to it from Earth, it has quite a few other peculiar features. On top of that, it's Solstice today and we got each other presents!

What happens to the main course when the appetiser and desert are much bigger than expected? It gets moved to next week! Today we don't actually talk about the thing that we wanted to talk about, but instead get carried away by the new Space Tour trailer. And then there's a poll! And then there's a long listener email!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Four years ago, our first episode reached the 21st century! To commemorate that occasion Dirk's Personal 'A.I.' Assistant Mr. Dobalina agreed to ask us a bunch of questions - some that we suggested and others that he contributed himself. Get ready for a peek behind the curtain of Tests From The Future, a short political discussion, and of course another poetry reading by the interviewer himself!
