Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.)

We're diving into the grab bag! You know the one, that bag of questions that have been hanging around just waiting for the right moment to find an answer, and some of this week's 'why's' will peek at why piggy banks are the lovable oinky creatures they are, why the Uncanny Valley is so... upsetting, and in honor of Valentine's week why the heart shape is, well, that shape.
In keeping with the holiday - you know the one based on love, flowers, romance, chocolate, and cards - our bonus episode takes a look at a 'what happens when.' So to find out what happens when astronauts fart in space, visit patreon.com/rockettefox.
