Professor R.L. Blastoff initially created a weekly radio show in the early 1940’s, shortly after he had begun preliminary work on a prototype time machine. His research over the course of his distinguished career in fields such as applied physics, molecular biology, and chemical engineering earned him numerous prestigious awards – including two nobel prizes. Sadly, before his radio show reached the air, his time machine reached completion and he was transported not only to a different time – but a completely different dimension. Since then, he has been helplessly trying to navigate his way home. From 2011 until 2015, his radio show was guest-hosted by three people who mistakenly wandered into his office.
