Tomorrow With Joshua Topolsky

The year is 2117. We're all living in a new reality, a *virtual* reality, after our leader, Edgelord Palmer Luckey (and his sentient wall), destroyed planet Earth for not being caucasian or male enough. Thankfully, episode 94 has survived the century. In it, Josh and William Turton, a staff writer at The Outline, discuss Luckey's wall, the Russian hacks that probably gave us President Trump to begin with, and Vanderpump Rules. Could this apocalypse have been avoided if we'd all studied Veronica Mars? Listen in and find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Long ago, in a kingdom far away, a magical king named Richard Simmons lived with two Dalmatian statues, an eccentric masseuse, and a (possible) witch. Then all of a sudden, the king went mysteriously missing. The eccentric masseuse says the witch is to blame. Can this possibly be true? To get the bottom of it, Outline staff writer, Emmy winner, and former New York Daily News reporter Andy Martino wrote a 2016 story about the case. Now the podcast Missing Richard Simmons has the public interested in the mystery once again. So, for episode 86, Josh Topolsky sits down with Martino to get some clarification on Richard, his disappearance, and, weirdly enough, fairytale witchcraft. Can the king's magical friends break the evil witches spell? Probably not, because magic isn't real and she's likely just a housekeeper. But Richard, if you're reading this, please let us know you're okay. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Josh once again sits down with the inimitable Paul Ford to discuss the dumpster fire that was 2016. Honestly, if you go back and look at the description of last year's end-of-the-year special with Paul, you'll see that we called 2015 "one of the worst years on record" which, in light of the horrors of 2016, is hilarious. Although Donald Trump features heavily in both episodes. Anyway, they talk neo-Nazis, ice attacks, Twitter, voice-over acting, and of course: the Dipperz empire. We'll be back in full force for 2017 and then straight through to the inevitable apocalypse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Here we are at the end of the world with Emily Altman, a UCB comedian and Emmy-nominated writer for shows like Inside Amy Schumer, Difficult People, and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
