Pod To Pluto: EP13 - Perfect Day
In deep space, it’s cold, empty and vast. Which means you’re also very unlikely to find any other spacecraft in the outer reaches of the solar system. After all, nobody ever travels this far out from Earth unless they’ve been forced to because of some unfortunate employment offer which they now...
-
Pod To Pluto: EP12 - Those Were The Days
When you’re stuck in your office 24 hours a day for the next five years like space engineer Jemima Belafonte is. You at least know that no matter how dull the days might be, you’ll be earning a sizeable overtime wage. That is, unless you happen to be ‘ring fenced’ in a “challenging but exciting...

The story we’re about to tell, is set in the near future and is all about an intrepid, young, handsome, and heroic class 9 service Pod on a dangerous mission to the outer regions of the known galaxy and the only person with him is a dumb human called Jemma. Well, at least that’s how the story...
-
Pod To Pluto: EP10 - Down All The Days
It’s one of the seven wonders of the galaxy! One of the true great sights! A view that has been known to cause strong men, men who have spent their entire life dedicated to the cause of atheism, to fall to their knees and thank God for having been allowed life! So, is this a description of the...
-
Pod To Pluto: EP9 - It's My Birthday
A birthday comes but once a deep space solar cycle for Pod, who was born 23 years ago today!

-
Pod To Pluto: EP8 - Blue Monday
Life continues under the blanket of boredom for Jemima, as she endures her long dull journey through deep space on her way to Pluto to go turn off a lightbulb. Yet strangely, she currently seems to be feeling even more exhausted than normal. Could it be that a diet of processed spam, tinned wine...
-
Pod To Pluto: EP7 - The Night Before Christmas Day
Things get pretty lonely when you’re two hundred thousand miles away from home. Especially when you’re spending the first of half a decade’s worth of ‘Christmas Eves’ alone with just your sarcastic shipboard AI for company (and a lot of desiccated coconut) So Jemima thinks that maybe explaining…

Pod To Pluto: EP6 - Valentines Day
It’s somehow always night-time in deep space, which means there is an awful lot of spare time for Jemima to think about odd random ‘stuff’ whilst trapped alone in the dark empty void. Especially her ‘very long’ distance relationship with her boyfriend Graham. So in this emotional season final of...
-
Pod To Pluto: EP5 - Tuesday
In deep space; every day feels like a Tuesday for Jemima. That’s because Tuesdays; in all their wretched banal glory, always feel like the most awful of days. So perhaps Jemima should just lie back and talk to somebody about these deep-seated feelings? Would that help? Maybe the lights can be...
-
Pod To Pluto: EP4 - Mars A Day
Jemima thinks that Mars is just a barren, dull, lifeless hole. With the only people living there being lonely singing space miners. She says it’s just like a historical Welsh theme park; but with love spoons instead of rollercoasters. Pod is still going to dig a little deeper though, as he loves...
-
Pod To Pluto: EP3 - Election Day
It’s time for Jemima to exercise her democratic franchise! However like most elections it’s a two horse race and neither are very tempting. Yet there is one policy that’s rather appealing to her. Johnny December is playing a very home front campaign. Unlike his opponent Hairy Jenny; he’s standing...
-
Pod To Pluto: EP2 - Bin Day
So, what do you do to pass the time when you’re spending the next five years stuck in a tiny engineering pod? You can only play “Screamy-Screamy-Guessy-Guess” for so long. After all, it won’t take long before you can no longer distinguish a scream of simple competition, to a scream of crushing...
