The End of the Earth

Finally, bang!

On the Empire Podcast this week, the whole universe was in a hot, dense state, but nearly 14 billion years ago, expansion started!

Wait! The Earth began to cool, the autotroes began to drool, the Anderthals developed tools, we built a wall!

We built the pyramids!

Math, science, history, unraveling the mystery with one of the stars of the Big Bang theory.

Yes, Simon Helberg who plays hard wallowits, drops by this week along with Hugh Grant to talk Florence of Foster Jenkins, while the artist formerly known as T-Hiddy, Tom Hiddleston himself also moses along real nice to talk I saw the light.

Probably should have led with that, but then he doesn't have his own theme tune, does he?

Hello, pod, I'm Chris Hewitt, welcome to the Emperor Podcast. This week I'm joined by two colleagues of such lethal cunning, neither of them have their own theme tunes. It's frankly a disgrace.

First up is our Arthouse Guru, a man who recently adopted a stray cat, but astonishingly didn't call it Werner Perzog, or Christoph Kismiowski, or even Federico Filini.

It's Phil Desemlin, how are you?

Hi, Chris. I'm good. I think we've done just all the time.

I've heard you asked. How are you, Chris?

That's too late now.

Oh god.

This is none of that, it's actually factually accurate.

Okay. No, there's a cat that comes around and we say hi and hang out with it a bit.

Do you change your stories in your story?

I didn't say that, you said.

Your tune has changed. Anyway.

What do you call your cat?

Dog May.
