Earth year 2019 might have been full of large stories, but there are others that fell far off the radar. Perhaps that was for the best as you will discover in this year's Time Warp episode.

Gap might have wandered onto the set of a classic Christmas special. Gap might also regret such a thing. Let's all watch this train wreck together, shall we?

It's that time of year when the world falls in love with Christmas specials, so here we are with another one. Gap tries to discover how wonderful life is when George Bailey comes on the show. So many questions to answer: Is it a wonderful life? Who names these kids? What happened to the money? What's with the raven? How about the squirrel? Did the squirrel and raven conspire to steal the money? Enjoy an exploration of such questions as we celebrate the most wonderful time of the year on Orbital.

Once the turkey is all gone, the time for gift shopping begins. Every year it seems harder to shop for the ones you love and tolerate. Luckily, Gap has you covered on this episode of Orbital. Flying into the studio is the one and only Bee in a Tree, a lively icon of the gift-giving season that knows exactly what you want, we think. Also, Elf on the Shelf could not be reached for comment.

Gather round the dinner table and try your hardest not to pull a carving knife on your relatives, it's Thanksgiving. And as America prepares to celebrate this autumn tradition, likely from under several feet of snow, Gap decided to host the first Thanksgiving BEFORE the actual first Thanksgiving, thus making it the NEW first Thanksgiving.  Lace up your bootstraps, it's going to be one of those episodes. To help celebrate this new first Thanksgiving, Gap welcomes Osamequin and John Carver to the dinner table, two towering figures from this era of American history. This may not go according to plan.

Bewitched, the stunning documentary series about being a magic user in 1960s America, really brings a new light to an often overlooked demographic. But what about the non-magical among them? Ask Darrin Stephens. In fact, that was Gap's plan. Darrin addresses some of the crazy events of his life with Samantha on this episode.

Thomas Edison. Nikola Tesla. The War of the Currents (not berries). The fight over direct current versus alternating current shall be settled here. Or not. There may also be talk of aliens and ghosts. Two fascinating inventors square off on this episode of Orbital.

After 5,000 Standard Earth Years (SEY), Orbital comes to Earth. Thank you human technology for finally becoming advanced enough for us to retrofit our file format so you can hear this. My name is Gap Storm, an extraterrestrial with command over time and space. I could have set off for the edges of the Universe to fight crime or save the innocent. Instead, I started an audio program. Enjoy!
