Radiorama

During a routine delivery to the deleted file planet, Junkleon 7, the Planet Express crew are confronted by Klaxxon, an evil being made entirely of soundwaves from podcasts from the 21st century.

Part 1
After a rather lengthy introduction from Nerdist host Chris Hardwick about how this episode came about, the theme song is heard and we are welcomed into this episode by our favorite Transition Announcer, Mr. Don Cunningham.

Professor Farnsworth walks into the Planet Express headquarters meeting room to announce that All My Circuits, which was cancelled some time after Calculon's second death, is being revived as a podcast, since Calculon's voicebox somehow survived. Later, Fry brings Leela into the basement to show her a gift he made her, which is a three-dimensional sculpture of himself. Leela feels insulted by this gift, since she only has one eye, she is only able to see in one dimension. When she shows it to the crew, they are actually marveled by this nude 3D portrait. Fry attempts to throw it out, but Farnsworth says that since it is digital, they must throw it out on the digital garbage planet, Junkleon 7.

When the crew blasts off to the planet, Bender confesses that he feels sorry that his mother never got to see his brief turn on All My Circuits as Calculon's son, Antonio Calculon, Jr., since she was only a mechanical arm with no eyes. When they reach the planet, Fry throws out his sculpture, while Bender steals what he sees as the most valuable thing on the planet.

While the crew randomly beats Zoidberg with a banjo, Bender receives a phone call from none other than Calculon himself. Calculon offers Bender to reprise his role for the All My Circuits podcast, which Bender accepts. Bender then decides to tell his mother the exciting news.

At a robot nursing home, Bender, alongside Fry and Amy, who is there to interpret the sign language that Bender's mother uses. When they see her, Bender tells her the good news, but Mrs. Rodriguez acts nonchalant about it, revealing that she is close to death.

At this point, listeners are treated to a fake ad from the Borax Kid for Kloch the Avenger's Borax Flakes, as well as a real ad for the mobile game Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow from Hermes and Zoidberg.

Production
On 8 September 2017, the Worlds of Tomorrow Facebook page was updated with a promotional graphic promoting "Radiorama". Chris Hardwick revealed that he was voicing the villain, Klaxxon. Hardwick revealed that he pitched the idea of doing an audio episode on the Nerdist podcast to Matt Groening and David X. Cohen in 2016. The episode came together due to TinyCo, the company that runs the freemium game based on Futurama, Worlds of Tomorrow. As a tie-in to the episode, Chris Hardwick's head in a jar appears in the Worlds of Tomorrow game. On 9 September 2017, USA Today released a one minute preview of the episode through Soundcloud.
