Where's My... Hoverboard?
03/10/22 • 40 min
Someone get Marty McFly, because today's episode is right up his futuristic street!
Join Sarah and Luke as they search for an iconic piece of science fiction, the hoverboard. While the technology is already available in some unusual places, strapping it to your feet and flying off to the shops has proved to be a problem that’s a lot more difficult to solve!
Helping us on our quest this week are Prof. Keith Johnstone, writer Dave Carnie and Greg Henderson, founder of Arx Pax and designer of the world's first true hoverboard!

Previous Episode
Where's My... Moon Base?
We're back with another episode of Where's My Jetpack, the podcast that straps a rocket to your retrofuturistic dreams and blasts them into orbit!
Today, Luke and Sarah find out that early scientific progress is never a guarantee of continued expansion, as we ask why humans haven't been back to the moon since 1972 and if we'll ever return. To help us find out we're joined by Dr Andy Aldrin, Director of the Aldrin Space Institute, and son of legendary moonwalker, Buzz Aldrin.

Next Episode
Where’s My… Flying Car?
If previous generations could’ve had one single piece of retrofuturistic technology, it’d probably be the flying car.
Luke and Sarah try to make those dreams a reality as we find that, for the first time this series, this engineering endeavour actually came before science fiction dreams. We’re joined by designers and engineers at the cutting edge of the industry: Aeromobil CEO Patrick Hessel, aviation expert Andrew Chadwick and Mark Moore, CEO of Whisper Aero and co-founder of Uber Elevate.
