The Return of the Children of the Earth
When we last spoke with Dani, the explorer and scientist living in Neustadt an der Havel near Old Berlin, the former leaders of the Children of the Earth had fled with the defunct cult’s weapons. But could they persevere without food growers on Earth in a universe where ecosystems had collapsed? Dani and the survivors feared their return, but they couldn’t have anticipated the arrival of the Toopin regime. In this episode, Dani joins us for an update and issues another call for help from our listeners. Tune in to find out how you can help!

A New Beginning
In this episode, the first of what you’d call the second season of our show, we had the chance to reconnect with familiar characters. Colin 235F, the Ingeni-Web Node from a universe several light years away, sent us another message, asking to connect with our favourite Ser’Lidin Xenoanthrologist, Tev’Dilar. Which was a great coincidence, as were just considering adding new supporting roles to the Future Diaries Crew, and Tev’Dilar would be a perfect MWWW Quilter! Why the urge to reconnect and what can we learn from it? Tune in and find out!

The Night Comes Again
In this episode, the last of what you'd call the first season of our podcast in your universe, we hear from Beryl. Beryl is a Product Converter from Michigan, although, in her universe, this state may be slightly different from yours.

After they've gone
Our guest on this episode is Tev’Dilar, a young Ser’Lidin xenoanthropologist with a special interest in Earth and humans in her universe. In her universe, humans on Earth went extinct after powerful people badly mismanaged humans’ interactions with their environment. The Ser’Lidin’s interplanetary policy of non-intervention has led to disaster before, which makes Tev-Dilar uncomfortable. What is her story and what can we learn from it? Tune in and find out!

The Journey
When the Future Diaries crew began experimenting with a new type of Intertemporal Communication Technology called a SIBophone, they stumbled upon a previously unknown type of universe made entirely of narratives and met today’s guest, the Messenger. But what exactly is a SIBophone, and just how different are narrative universes from yours? More importantly, what message does the Messenger have to convey? Tune in to this episode to find out!

The Kind Folks on Titan
When Titanians in Dylan’s universe began sensing what they called "symbiotic information blockchains" emanating from Earth, they knew they had not only found signs of intelligent life but had also stumbled on a missing link for making sense of their own world. But what are these blockchains, and why were Titanians so willing to help Earthlings in exchange for them? Join us as Dylan explains!

In your eyes I’m a machine
Colin 235F is...not human. Reaching out to us from planet Kepler-452b in the year 3535, Colin has a very interesting story to share, from a very different side of the multiverse. The creators of the technology that made Colin possible, the Da’ Angh-ii, were the dominant species on the planet, several centuries ago. But while Colin’s kind has survived long enough to develop intertemporal communication technologies, the Da’ Angh-ii have perished. How did this happen? What can we learn from it? And what exactly is Colin? Tune in and find out!

Gliding through Berlin
We’re back in Berlin, but everything is different. In fact, our guest today visits Berlin in parallel universes, first as an escape and then as part of her research. But how is it done? Join us to hear about the prospects for a car-free Berlin, and stick around to hear about the scenery along the intertemporal speedway and multi-species drag performance that’s all the rage on Uranus in Universe 23.

The Children of the Earth
Berlin, 2089; The environment has been so severely compromised that scientists pronounced it “destroyed.” One cult-like group, who called themselves “the Children of the Earth”, managed to survive underground for fifty years, relying on advanced technologies to grow food and maintain a livable space. But in doing so, they have completely isolated themselves from their environment. Our guest, on the other hand, has managed to survive in a society above ground, on the desolate landscape of Berlin, until she met with a surviving member of the Children of the Earth! Dani joins Antonis, Mike, and Katelyn to tell her story, in the fifth episode of Future Diaries.
