In the vaguely science fictional milieu we inhabit Christina and Lilian discuss the world over cocktails and get interrupted occasionally by Ian. Topics covered include podcasts, lockdown TV shows, track & trace apps, Duolingo, sleeping satellites and listener comments. Podcast cover art is by John Culbard and was first published in This Never Happens, the fanzine, in 1981.
