Episode 10: The Elon Musk Special!

We've been champing at the bit to talk about all of the cool things that entrepreneur, genius, possible-alien, Elon Musk is working on. It's a science-heavy episode, covered by two people who are effectively chimps in the headlights (who also aren't very good at metaphors). Take a trip into the weird and wonderful future (as seen by one guy, at least) through space travel, earth travel, mind-reading, and simulating an entire universe.

Thanks for listening!

You can find us on other sites at @benjionelung and @bytereview - tell us, which planet do you think Elon Musk is from? Oh yeah, and do you have any Good News?

Thanks to Tony Thaxton for our theme!
