039-Henges?


In prehistoric times before we used metal tools and smartphones our ancestors created some amazing monuments. Some say the monuments were for Sun worship, ancestor worship, calendar keeping or maybe even for blood sport. From the archaeology that has been done at the site it seems that our ancestors visited these monuments just as we do today.

Hobo Radio 317 – The monkeys and the bees

A watch that track your heart rate, access your bank records, find your car and break into your house may sound like something out of a science fiction/horror film, but Apple is nonetheless hoping you’ll want to pay $350 for it.

Joel Murphy and Lars share their thoughts on Apple’s new iPhones and smart watch. They also discuss the Baltimore Comic-Con, old people sex and a new Indiegogo campaign aimed at bringing back hand-drawn animation.

Why is Mark Hamill in better shape than Harrison Ford and Peter Mayhew? Who was the biggest jerk at Comic-Con? Does Joel look any better this week? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Morningstar” by Miky Anton
