Ep 30 - Post-Pandemic Meerkats

4/19/2020
Hello! Since we are living in an actual Dystopia we thought instead of looking at what might happen during a dystopia we'd discuss what might happen after this is all over. We decided to try and look at the brighter side of things. We wanted to mention that we know a lot of horrible things are happening in the world at the moment but since we are locked inside and our specialty is normally Dystopias - that looking towards a Utopia for a change might be more helpful to put out into the world....

Ep 14 - Not So Bright

2/25/2018
This week we talk about the new Netflix film 'Bright'. We were both really excited to watch this film and to see what a movie could do with the concept of 'Lord of the Rings' brought into the modern world. It's safe to say that we were disappointed. So this week we try our hands at world building. We discuss if it's racist to ride a centaur, slugs with faces and hippy elves. What did you think of the movie? Is there anything we missed or overlooked? How do you guys think this world could...

Ep 12 - The Luck Paradox

2/11/2018
This week we sneak into a world that Douglas Adams would feel very at home in. Tania becomes convinced that money can buy you happiness and that luck is real. Lee tries to talk some sense into her. We are confused , yet quite upbeat in this weeks episode. Tell us what you think. Does luck already exist in the world? Would the world be better if we could give out luck? Can you survive this podcast if you drink every time we say the word 'luck'....probably not. Utopia, midtopia or dystopia?...
