Mike & Steve are back covering the 25th episode of Futurama for the 25th episode of Futurama Pedia! The Deep South makes its way into the ‘Pedia for a fun show talking about mermaids and Atlantis, and of course, Atlanta!
Mike and Steve are back with a brand new episode! Covering a 16 year old episode! “Luck of the Fryrish” is the focus episode, and Mike & Steve discuss Fry’s birthday, Coney Island Whitefish, and which items you should order from Horse D’Oeuvres. All that and more…on Futurama Pedia!

Just one – Back to the Futurama. For the longest time, Futurama Pedia was the only Futurama podcast around but that’s changed! Back to the Futurama is going through all of the Futurama episodes in order, from what I can tell. I haven’t listened through everything, and still need to finish listening to their Space Pilot 3000 episode. But it’s pretty good!

Dropped Podcasts
Just one show, and I hate to do it this time because it’s not because of quality. It’s quite simply because of quantity. I had to drop Steele Wars because there were just too many episodes over an hour in length, all at 1+ hours (I think the most recent one was 118 minutes). It’s too much podcast for me; but if you like Australian comedians and Star Wars, you should stick with it.
Podcast Suggestions
These aren’t new subscriptions for me, but rather some specific highlights of my listening in the last month.
S Town Companion – Alec Baldwin’s fantastic interview podcast, Here’s The Thing, recently had Brian Reed (writer of S Town) on the show to talk about his experience putting the story together. Worth a listen if you enjoyed S Town. Spoiler alert – do NOT listen to this until you’ve had a chance to listen to S Town. The first part of the podcast is OK to listen to, but there’s a brief pause to let you catch up before they talk freely about it.
Anthology – Host Matt Hurt is back covering season 2 of The Twilight Zone. Every other episode is a bonus episode where he reviews Dimension 404 – a show I’m interested in hearing about but probably won’t watch (too much TV available!). One episode I enjoyed in particular was his panel about hosting a solo podcast; not directly related to his source material, but was interesting to hear his perspective on podcasting. You can find that episode here: https://anthologypod.com/2017/04/20/specialep1/
Unplayed Suggestions
This is a weird category, but this is my so-called “to do” list for podcast listening. I listen to a lot of podcasts so I just haven’t gotten around to it, but this suggestion came from my brother on Twitter.
WTF with Marc Maron Episode 768 – Billy West I’m a big Futurama fan, and Billy West is a huge part of that show. He also has his hand in almost every possible voice over venture in existence. I will get to it eventually!
Got any suggestions of your own? Let me know!
Finally, after three years, a new episode! Thanks for sticking with us during the unplanned hiatus. During the recording we forgot about our “lost” episode 20 that we totally did record, so that’s where the Episode 20 references are coming from.
In this episode we watch the (as of yet) series finale “Meanwhile”, and also cook up some Slurm! Plus we talk about the upcoming Futurama mobile game (which since recording is now available for pre-registration on Google Play!), and other fun stuff. The Slurm video is coming soon – listen for a brief clip at the end of the show!

Steve’s Version of Beck’s The Information |
Episode 19 is upon us! And relatively near the actual recording date! In this episode we watched season three’s episode 13, Bendin’ In The Wind. This led to natural discussions about Beck, the VW Bus, measuring various scents, and the merits of Bend-Aid. Hope you enjoy!

After an unplanned 4 month hiatus, Mike & Steve are back with more Futurama commentary! Once you’ve heard it, you can’t un-hear it! In episode 18, we take a look at the Episode 10 of Season 3, “Where the Buggalo Roam”. Topics of discussion include the tallest volcano in the solar system, the Face of Mars, and the Crying Indian.

After a lengthy hiatus, Mike & Steve are back with Futurama Pedia! Actually, this episode was recorded wayyy back in July, we just have been too busy to get it released until now. The good news is that Episode 18 is also recorded and around the corner! In this episode, Mike & Steve discuss 31st Century Fox, and try out Bachelor Chow (Now With Flavour!). PS – our episode wasn’t really sponsored by Beau’s…but it was influenced by it!
