Did you think Christmas started when Jesus was born? So when WAS he born, huh? Do you know? What do the originators of this feast say? Maybe he was born with the sun? On the day it reaches the lowest point in the skies? Is Santa a demoted viking deity? Did the druids bring us the elves? Folk lore and mythology are but a huge telephone game played throughout ages of human transit. Take a journey with us through every pagan origin of the Christmas tradition and help us send this first season off with a hell of an all-inclusive season’s greeting. Wæshæl, motherfuckers, merry kwanzukkah to you.

If you love science fiction, like we do, but you’re stuck in a bipolar vortex between Star Wars and Star Trek, boy, do we have a treat for you. We traverse parsecs of parallel universes that encompass this multi-genre narrative style. From George Lucas’s first, pre-Star War dystopian masterpiece to the seminal influences of Jodorowsky and Moebius on the great genre influencers of our time: Star Wars, Alien, Terminator, Blade Runner. Through generations of masters: H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Frank Hertbert, Jack Vance, Ray. Bradbury, Orson Scott Card, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov,  Stanislaw Lem… the heroes: Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Pirx the Pilot…  the epic, the post-apocalyptic, the utopian, the dystopian, one great adventure… We cover almost all of it and still somehow manage not to space out into a black hole. Buckle up, enjoy the ride, and live long and prosper, motherfuckers.

With his love of all things monsters and legends, Bert decides to bring Fonx into the fold with a breakdown of this pseudo science!

Bert & Fonx examine the trials and tribulations of collaborating in a music video for a song Fonx wrote, shot in Spain and the US. And, in doing so, revisit all of the experiences and lessons-learned of this intense multi-year venture. The production, the casting, the location scouting, the prop and costume design, the shoot, the post-production and the special effects... no stone is left unturned on this exploration of  the world of amateur film-making, with a capital A.

What is the meaning of certain meanings and why do so many get so salty about them? Can inconvenient words be hidden? Do we make them disappear when we cease to acknowledge them? Does sheet happen? Are you a  sun of a beach? Join us as we explore the relativity of verbal offence, on this episode of Bert & Fonx …

Fonx has been speaking English for 50 years now. In fact, Fonx has been speaking English longer than Bert’s been alive. And yet, his English still sounds weird AF. Are there disadvantages to a multilingual upbringing? Does making room for other languages in your brain make them have to share a confined space? Could it be that Fonx doesn’t know as much English as most natives do? …or does he?

Bert recounts his amazing three week trip in search of his roots for his thirtieth birthday. The conversation, as usual ends up  all over the place, ranging from travelling alone versus meeting up with friends or family to haggis, ancient castles, the Loch Ness monster, Robert The Bruce and the spider, Robert Lewis Stevenson and how to properly drink a good scotch whiskey.

Fonx’s less-than-conventional use of the term “hick” leads Bert to show him some examples of eccentric celebrations around the world to try to figure out what on earth he means. It turns out to be a fun exercise, with an interesting conclusion.

Our friends compare their timelines to that of two millennial relatives in search of the milestones that marked the end of the industrial age and the rise of the information era.  From calling from home to carrying your phone around, from radio and television through video and dvd, all the way to PDA and smart devices. Through the rise of social networks and the radical communication paradigm shifts brought by the advent of internet technology, what was the big corner stone? How did the transition unravel? Find out, on this episode of Bert & Fonx.
