Hector vs. the Future is a 7 episode podcast from Stuff that Talks, and recorded in front of a live audience. Hector is the crochety curator with a clockwork pacemaker in charge of The Obsoletium, where families can wonder at the marvels and inventions of the past. Grammaphones, reel-to-reel tape, fax machines, ahh yes, all the important not-so-modern marvels. But what's this?? The Obsoletium isn't very popular! And the mayor wants to tear it down and give the funds to The Uptodatium, Hector's arch rivals, Biz and her Robot-hologram Phil--who themselves are so busy running around making sure they're always "up to date" with the latest technologies to really notice Hector's loathing. Together with his trusty assistant (and pacemaker winder), George, Hector must find a way to increase patrons, earn some money to save the museum, and schmooze the mayor. Hijinks ensue as we find Hector is ill-suited to most of these tasks. If you like, Wooden Overcoats, then Hector vs. The Future is for you! At 7, 40 minute episodes, it's ready for your next project day! Simply funny and delightful.
