Ferryman Radio

In the future, incredibly fast, gigantic cargo ships ferry supplies from one cruise liner to another. These comically slow cruises are on a generations-spanning journey to find ‘habitable terrain’. Anyone with a passion for something new or exciting was put on a waiting list to join ‘The New Day Solar Cruise Lines’ [brought to you by the lovely folks at SIGN Inc.] Each and every passenger is filled with a lifetime of fun, ‘Soy Joy’ and the dream that their children’s children’s children’s children may live on a new, cleaner planet… Anyone who believed that this was a crazy idea had a choice to either stay on Earth… …or “Ferry Cargo”… This is some of what the Ferrymen listen to…to pass the time.

Episode 948: The Somnambulant Chronologist

Episode 948: The Somnambulant Chronologist It’s December 21st, 2012. Ibsyn Vale won’t kill himself. He can’t. Why? He’s displaced. Time is linear for him. But, to any and everyone else, he seems to constantly say things out of order. In reality, he’s popping in and out of one timeline: appearing at random points along it. He does so by “falling asleep” – a process in which, by falling backwards and slamming into the ground, he shifts into another time period. The only apparent pattern is that it...

Episode 43,034: The American Falls

The following is from “The Lost Blog of Ill Eagl-Einfall” and will only make sense after listening to Episode 43,034: The American Falls : “How dare we call them ‘servers’? It is demeaning to waitstaff, world-round, as it is to the very essence of the immense computer towers that we demoralize. “Who are we to deem computers, which can process more information in a second than any one of us could in a lifetime, ‘subservient’? “We, as their biological Gods, have created a mechanical mind…in our ow...

Episode 947: The Omniverse Revealed

It’s the end of the known universe. Buildings, world-round, are hollow mountains: silently begging for tenants. Grasslands have blended into the cities: reclaiming their long-lost territory. The sun burns intensely: making daylight uninhabitable. The night sky, now filled with supernova after supernova, is slowly trudging toward it’s final rest. The moon is only fragments of it’s younger self. Due to an unforeseen [yet completely inevitable] catastrophe, every human has died. Save for one person...

How is it shipped? On ships. There is no ‘paper currency’ [since the ‘Financial Inquiry Exposition of 2021’ declared that all currency was ‘the source of all human enmity and, therefore, henceforth, illegal’], leaving ‘time’ as the only form of “tangible currency”.
