In this episode, the first of what you’d call the second season of our show, we had the chance to reconnect with familiar characters. Colin 235F, the Ingeni-Web Node from a universe several light years away, sent us another message, asking to connect with our favourite Ser’Lidin Xenoanthrologist, Tev’Dilar. Which was a great coincidence, as were just considering adding new supporting roles to the Future Diaries Crew, and Tev’Dilar would be a perfect MWWW Quilter! Why the urge to reconnect and what can we learn from it? Tune in and find out!

In this episode, the last of what you'd call the first season of our podcast in your universe, we hear from Beryl. Beryl is a Product Converter from Michigan, although, in her universe, this state may be slightly different from yours. Humans have evolved to be semi-amphibious in Beryl’s universe and USA faces frequent cyberattacks from Delmarva, but that doesn’t stop them from being committed hard workers! What is her story and what can we learn from it? Tune in and find out!

Our guest on this episode is Tev’Dilar, a young Ser’Lidin xenoanthropologist with a special interest in Earth and humans in her universe. In her universe, humans on Earth went extinct after powerful people badly mismanaged humans’ interactions with their environment. The Ser’Lidin’s interplanetary policy of non-intervention has led to disaster before, which makes Tev-Dilar uncomfortable. What is her story and what can we learn from it? Tune in and find out!

Colin 235F is...not human. Reaching out to us from planet Kepler-452b in the year 3535, Colin has a very interesting story to share, from a very different side of the multiverse. The creators of the technology that made Colin possible, the Da’ Angh-ii, were the dominant species on the planet, several centuries ago. But while Colin’s kind has survived long enough to develop intertemporal communication technologies, the Da’ Angh-ii have perished. How did this happen? What can we learn from it? And what exactly is Colin? Tune in and find out!

Penny Wilson lived the last days of her life in New Brisbane, on land. But that wasn’t always the case. For centuries, humans lived underwater, in Sub-Acquatic Salvation Project (SASP) colonies, after what they called the Great Conflagration made life on land impossible. Penny was an inspiring geological and sustainability scientist, who devoted decades into getting humans back on land. And she succeeded. We connected with her grandson, James, who told us her story.

We’re back in Berlin, but everything is different. In fact, our guest today visits Berlin in parallel universes, first as an escape and then as part of her research. But how is it done? Join us to hear about the prospects for a car-free Berlin, and stick around to hear about the scenery along the intertemporal speedway and multi-species drag performance that’s all the rage on Uranus in Universe 23.
