Our latest guest is the entertaining and provocative Chris Day. Besides owning a 2269 invitation, who is Chris Day? Well, in his own words…

“Chris Day is a refreshingly bespectacled illustrator, animator and writer. He has scribbled, doodled and thinkercised since he was a dot and currently runs the small (but perfectly formed) creative studio Little Creature his home in the leafy depths of Bath, Enger-land. One day he hopes to finally learn the saxophone and write a screenplay about a lonely 19th Century inventor. In 2269 he will be 295 years young and at most parties he can be found in the kitchen near the finger food.”

We meet Harry Hobson, a deep thinker and strategist who is busy designing better neighbourhoods with his Neighbourly Labs project and welcomes your input. Discover how Harry takes inspiration from Steve Job's turtle necks in an unusual way, and hear how Harry hopes to bring people together. Says Harry: 'lots of the world's problems are caused or unaddressed because people find it too easy to ignore others who are different or distant from them. It's madness that we do that.'

For more on Harry and his project, please visit The Neighbourly Lab: https://www.neighbourlylab.com

Harry also reveals his favourite book, song, object and place -- all things he chooses to save in our 2269 time capsule. He makes a toast to the future, and we take a trip in our makeshift time machine to see what he feels the future holds in store.... Join us! :)

(Episode recorded before lockdown, but content is timeless)

Meet Mike Best: Writer. Photographer. Caffeine addict. And an owner of a 2269 ticket to the greatest party of all time!

On this episode, Mike shares with us his thoughts on the power of passing things on, the purpose of art, and why he hopes that 'beautiful accidents' will always have a place in a future increasingly driven by data. 

Says Mike, "It's out of randomness that the great ideas, the great juxtapositions, come from..."

On the show, Mike chooses his favourite song,  a treasured object, and an all-time travel destination he hopes will survive -- all to be saved in the 2269 time capsule. He also makes a toast to future generations -- what words of wisdom will Mike choose to share? 

Plus, like all guests, Mike shares his past and predicts the future, in our new 2269 games: 
* Decades
* Who Will Be Remembered?
* Which Comes First?

So, join us for an entertaining trip through the past, present and distant future, as we build up to the greatest party of all time....
