Episode 14: I Second That Emotion (Original Air Date: November 21, 1999) Guest: Ollie Brady (Best Aquantances Podcast) Is it possible for a robot who can feel no emotions to feel? Bender is forced to feel all of Leela's emotions after he flushes Nibbler down the toilet in a fit of jealousy.

Episode 13: Fry and the Slurm Factory (Original Airdate: November 14, 1999) Guest: Robert Brower The Planet Express crew take a trip to a magical "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" parody when Fry swallows a golden bottlecap.

Episode 12: When Aliens Attack (Original Air Date: November 7, 1999) Guest: Mark Prosia **AUDIO WARNING** Emily’s audio is weirdly loud as the levels were set way too high without Emily’s knowledge. The saga of an Ersatz Ally McBeal and a spilled beer. There are beach shinnanigans, Wiki-wormholes, and Emily almost dying - live on air!

SPECIAL EPISODE: The Worlds of Tomorrow - Radiorama (Original Airdate: September 14, 2017) In this mini-episode, Emily and Steve explain the brief hiatus of the show. Steve was off gallivanting the world and winning awards, and Emily was living it up in Disney World and winning against Mother Nature.

Episode 9: Hell is Other Robots (Original Air Date: May 18, 1999) Guest: Tony Ochre The (first) season one season finale! Bender learns that sometimes, it pays to just say no. Especially when saying yes can send you to New Jersey, and coming face-to-face with Beelzebot. Steve and Tony are Beastie Boys aficionados. Emily has been told that she’s “my friend.” It was just as awkward as it sounds.

Episode 8: A Big Piece of Garbage (Original Airdate: May 11, 1999) Guest: Robert Brower The past comes back to haunt the citizens of New New York when a giant ball of space garbage from the 20th century is discovered by Professor Farnsworth and his Smelloscope to be hurtling towards the Earth.

There’s photographic...

Episode 7: My Three Suns (Original Airdate: May 4, 1999) Guest: Katie Roy What happens when a shiftless 25-year-old delivery boy from the 20th (or 21st, whichever) century becomes Emperor of a planet? Nothing good, as far as Leela is concerned. In this episode we discuss the short reign of Fry the Solid, Bender’s newest unrealized dream of becoming a chef, and Leela’s tendency of treating Fry like a baby.

Episode 6: A Fishful of Dollars (Original Airdate: April 27, 1999) Fry finally begins to feel nostalgic for bits of home when he learns he is a billionaire. But even all the money in the world cannot buy the one thing he wants - anchovies. Steve knows a lot about Friends.

Episode 5: Fear of a Bot Planet (Original Airdate: April 27, 1999) Can a planet of human hating (and non-fans of humanoid aliens) really solve all societal issues? Probably not, and they know it.

Episode 3: I, Roommate (Original Air Date: April 6, 1999) Guest: Mac Crowley The most problematic episode to date! We lose our guest, we lose a host, and Fry and Bender almost lose one another.

Episode 2: The Series Has Landed (Original Air Date: April 4, 1999) Guest: Ollie Brady (Best Acquaintances Podcast) This episode introduces us to new characters, and the podcast introduces new people. This episode has it all: Blackjack, hookers, dueling Crushinators and Hedonism-Bots, and so many segues.
