   287: Life on Tikibar

   Now, whose voice might that be? Indeed, it's Simon, live from Tikibar! Intergalactic communication seems to be working, the Low Fidelity Wave Burner seems to have arrived in one piece, and the same applies to Simon himself. In this episode, Simon summarises his first four weeks on the recently discovered alien planet to Dirk and the listeners. Among other things, we cover the trip itself, the local housing situation and some odd alien customs.

   286: Space Port

   What do you do when you really want to ship something to a friend on a faraway planet but the regular shuttle there doesn't leave for a while yet? You wait? Maybe that's what people who don't host a podcast do, but Dirk simply tries to find a pilot who can take care of the shipment ASAP. And what better place to find that pilot than in a leaky canteen in the middle of the desert?

   285: Mr. Dobalina and the Low Fidelity Wave Burner

   Well, we know where Simon is, but what's up with Dirk? You see, this week, neither of the hosts were actually there to record. Luckily, we can always count on Dirk's trusty Personal Assistant, Mr. Dobalina. He will bring you up to date, sneak in an opinion or two for the careful listener and, who would've thunk it, he'll read another poem too.
