Episodes to get you ready for the world of tomorrow
Wade Roush, Soonish
Some of the forces shaping the future are within our control. Others are beyond it. Nonfiction audio is one of the best forms for examining those forces and deciding how to adapt to them—or resist them. Here are episodes from a few of my favorite podcasts, each one focused on the future in a different way.
I'm the producer and host of Soonish (www.soonishpodcast.org), a show that asks how the future will be shaped by the choices we’re making about technology today.
