Welcome to Planet Tomorrow! In this inaugural episode, we travel back to the year 2000. We’re talking forgotten children’s toys, end of the world novelty songs, and more. Then, what does it mean for something to look like “Y2K”? Jack Grimes from the Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute (CARI) breaks it down.

Episode Notes

It has certainly been a while! But Looking Back is...well...back. Subscribe to the new Whale Bus show, Story Blocks wherever you get your podcast from!

Remember begging your parents to take you to that wacky outer space restaurant where you could win prizes? The food was shit but the atmosphere was out of this world! First, we’re talking to CARI co-founder Evan Collins about the best, vaguely futuristic themed eateries of yesteryear. Then, Tony Conn reminds the world of the time aliens landed in England to deliver a message of peace, love, and the joy a quick bite.
