  • 253: Lost and Found
    Feb 15 2026

    In case you were feeling a little lost, we just found the right episode for you! We visited London's Millennium Dome today, where the world's Lost and Found is based, and we can't wait to tell you all about it. A few spoilers; it's big, smells peculiar, and has (or shall we say had) a box full of pomegranates. Also, what happened to Simon's cup of tea?

  • 250: Unicorns
    Jan 25 2026

    Why do scientists make unicorns? Because they can! Why do we talk about that in our podcast? Same reason! In this episode we don't just talk about our present-day unicorns, but we also touch upon the more controversial part of this whole bringing-back-unicorns business; the question of whether or not they ever existed in the first place. Oh, and we talk about darts.

  • 249: Vascular Technology
    Jan 18 2026

    Imagine there was a technology that let you control plant-based material. Imagine you could make furniture that walked or scarves that wrapped themselves around your neck. Imagine you wanted to plant a flag on a planet without a proper atmosphere. Now imagine you could make a podcast episode about all of that! Wouldn't that be nice…

    Not many roads remain in the future, but of those that do we've a tale to tell; about why they're still here when the rest are long dusted, and what creatures claimed them and prospered so well.

    Jan 4 2026

    Most robots live forever and, in a few rare cases, some humans do too. What does that mean for your daily life? What do you mean when you say "See you later"? Do you still get a pension? And what's on your bucket list? In this episode we'll clarify all of that and more.

  • 246: 10 Weird Earth Things
    Dec 28 2025

    Now that humanity is venturing out into the galaxy a bit more, it may be a good time to rework Earth's Unique Selling Points a little bit. What's so special about our own little home planet? For that purpose the UFOPOO held a survey among a group of aliens and in this episode we discuss the results. Compared to the rest of the universe, how does Earth stand out? Is it our shape? Is it that we're rotating around a star? Or is it that we have bunnies?
