    Apr 26 2026

    We didn't just visit a planet with lots of ice. We didn't just visit a planet with lots of meteors. We didn't just meet interesting members of the crew and passenger band. And we didn't just smuggle a fluid that smells like vodka onto the ship. We did all of those things! And today we'll talk about them.

    Apr 19 2026

    We have all kinds of things to talk about this week! Who thought that being lost in space could be so exciting? First of all, Simon got into the first ever Passenger Council. Second, we visited a planet with a surface that retreats when you touch it. Third, we get to contribute to science! Somehow. At least a little bit.

  • 261: ☆ Lost
    Apr 12 2026

    There's both good and bad news. The bad news is that we're no longer moving fast through space and don't really know where we are. The good news is that the space tour will last longer! In today's episode we mostly discuss the consequences of the breakdown itself, but we also talk about the ways we've been entertaining ourselves in the mean time.

    Apr 5 2026

    It's amazing how many things you can cram into a single space tour! We're one week in and have seen and done so much! It's hard to summarise that all in one short episode, but we're trying anyway. We jump back and forth quite a bit, and we not only talk about the different places we've visited, but also about the on-board entertainment. And about the thing we broke, obviously.

    Mar 29 2026

    We've just embarked on our very first space tour! And not just our very first space tour, but humanity's very first space tour! The next two weeks will be filled with space sightseeing, big band performances, space walks, and bathing in cosmic rays. In this episode we check out our room, wonder where everything goes and what everything is for and, most importantly, when everything will happen.

    Mar 15 2026

    Have you ever listened to two guys pack for a space tour? Didn't think so! Luckily you have the chance right now. In this episode we thoroughly detail the things laid out on the floor of Simon's apartment and contemplate whether or not we actually need all of them. If you think we have things like space suits and oxygen tanks, you've probably never listened to our episodes before. Did anybody say stuffed otter?

  • 256: Walking Through Walls
    Mar 8 2026

    We had the first lesson of a free course that will teach us how to walk through walls. So how does it work? Who knows! While we did learn the most important do's and don'ts, we realise we still have many questions for our teacher, such as what things can you carry with you? How loosely can you interpret 'carry'? And are we brave enough to try it live on the show?
