Today we travel to a world with universal translation devices. Where the babelfish from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy comes true (although probably not in the form of an evolved organism, but let’s not fret about the details). 


Omnibot

Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might really be like. The future is going to be weird, so let's get ready for it together.

An ongoing audio drama that is a love letter to franchise fiction. A King of Medieval Europe embarks on a bizarre quest and learns a lot about himself and the world on the way, which really wasn't the stated the goal. The goal was to murder Winter.
