  • Great pod, Terrible audio

    This is a perfect pod for those getting into the world of future studies as well as experienced futurist. Really shows the interdisciplinary of the “field”. I really enjoy most episodes.

    But, they pod would be substantially improved if it managed to get any decent audio technology from Peter Haywood i.e. the main presenter. Seems like an easy fix.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 234: Mindstock. Fictional Futures and Present Realities - Richard Yonck
Q: Who should read the book? Who do you hope reads the book?
It's intended for readers of a good story, ideally people who like a bit of complexities to the point where they don't know what's coming...
EP 234: Mindstock. Fictional Futures and Present Realities - Richard Yonck
Q: Which of course is a speculation by nature, and then moving into what you say is the fiction state, obviously there's a spectrum that we write on?
So I think that's correct. As you and as many of your listeners know, scenarios are very much part of the futures toolbox...
EP 233: From Occupy to Design Economics - Vinny Tafuro
Q: What are you specifically paying attention to around you?
Tafuro is optimistic about the balance of younger generations wanting to work on societal issues, despite inheriting some challenges. He believes they have the tools and capital to make larger systemic shifts.
EP 230 - WFSF World Conference 2025 - Doris Viljoen
Q: Is there anything you can tell the listeners about some of the themes or how the actual information is going to be presented?
