| 8/30/26 |  281: Space Ambassador | We hoped that we could get back to our regular life and our regular topics, but the last couple of days have been anything but regular. Simon has accepted a position as ambassador on Tikibar and will actually leave for outer space again very soon. In this episode we answer questions like "What?", "Why?", "When?" and "Are the rumours true about Ambassador Von Froschhausen?". On top of that we also talk about the challenges of reintegrating into society after having been lost in space for five months.To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 281 in the subject line.

| 8/23/26 |  280: ☆ Homecoming | It's hard to believe, but we're actually in orbit around Earth! We made it back! Almost at least, because we're still in quarantine at the moment. They're afraid we have slave hens? At least that gives us time to tidy up the ship, sort out our souvenirs, go clay pigeon shooting using the asteroids we can't take home, and of course speculate about what celebrations are being prepared for our triumphant homecoming!To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 280 in the subject line.

| 8/16/26 |  279: ☆ The Tikibari | Dear diary, this week we met another alien race! They look strange, we call them the Tikibari, and as it turns out, they're the ones behind the black monoliths we've been collecting. And also as it turns out, those really weren't meant for collecting. Also, the Tikibari are interested in old technology and they helped us fix the ship too! It was a very exciting week.To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 279 in the subject line.

| 8/9/26 |  278: ☆ The Signal | The black monoliths we collected a few weeks ago started emitting a signal, and everyone's quite excited about it, even more so since we decoded the message! In this episode we discuss the possible implications, but we also talk about the planet we're currently orbiting, and about ukuleles obviously.To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 278 in the subject line.

| 8/2/26 |  277: ☆ Space Tripping | There's something off with the air conditioning in the ship, so we've been confined to our cabin since yesterday. This also means that we currently have a different air mixture than usual. This has no side effects, with the exception that we decided to eat all the edible souvenirs we brought from all the planets we visited so far. Which in turn has no side effects, with the exception that the cabin seems brighter and the stars seem closer and the listener emails seem more profound.To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number 277 in the subject line.

| 7/26/26 |  276: ☆ On the Treadmill | Have you ever recorded a podcast episode while walking on a treadmill? Well, Dirk just did and you get to listen to it! The good news is that Simon was standing just to the side, so at least one of the hosts isn't constantly out of breath. Why is Dirk on a treadmill? What's up with all of these black monoliths? Does the ship have a green house? And what does the Microsoft Zune have to do with anything?
